There is an upside and a downside to songwriting. Writer's block is nasty. Often times, you can write some good snippets of things, but your brain isn't organized enough to follow through with the rest and you end up assuming what you have is crap. Which is why it's good to save all of your pieces no matter how bad you think they are.

Then there are times that you can write and you feel really good about what you're doing. Inspiration sets in and you get excited and you want to share it with the world. Be mindful of becoming too attached to your work though because there can always be room for improvement.

There are also times when you can keep writing.... I mean that it becomes a distraction to your daily life because that's all you can think about doing. Even if it is just a piece here or there. My recent attempt to sleep was disrupted by the need to play guitar. I then ended up opening my notebook and low and behold there were some old lyrics I had been working on from last semester(probably in class). Immediately, I had the chords lodged in my brain, my fingers on the strings and the words escaping my lips. Then I needed a writing utensil. I had no intention of writing at this hour as I have class in the morning. However, half an hour later, I have a song.

The general concept is wondering if there is other life "out there" and not wanting to be the only one who feels that way or feels alone in the universe. Way left field for me. Maybe even out of the park, down the street and around the corner!

I'll work on getting some snippets of videos up later of some of these new works so you can enjoy the torment they sometimes impose upon my life. Even though I do enjoy it, sometimes it's nice to be a bit more constructive with other things in life... Like homework!
