I used to love staying up late when I was a kid. Some things never change.
I'm thinking about the first songs I wrote when I was getting sober. It was about 3 months in.
I'd had a fling with someone and was riding that fluffy cloud that comes with closeness.
I had this super janky laptop (which i still have), an acoustic I bought from jb-hifi when i was whacked out, and a pair of headphones that I would plug into the microphone port on the laptop and dangle them in the sound hole of the acoustic so I could record.
Those songs, are so...for lack of a better word, pure. No pretentiousness, no attempt to sound like this or that. The only audience was me and eventually I showed them to the person I was seeing.
Just expressions of a moment in time. I don't really have any photos of the past. This works just as well.
Goodnight all ❤️
