Unblock my mind

All the very best to you in the new year 2017, my friends!

As you may have already noticed, I haven’t been posting much over the past few months. Not sharing my songs or videos much, as well. And maybe you don’t care… but I need to write about it, ‘cos it’s something that's heavy on my soul. It’s like a heavy stone. To explain that (to you or just to myself) – I’ve been having a songwriter’s block. My last two songs took me to another level of my creativity. They were the songs I always wanted to write and record – something more darker and experimental. I felt like I reached the peak of my songwriting. And then I didn’t know what to do next, which way to go. Maybe you understand me, maybe you don’t. The last time I recorded a song was in September last year. And then… nothing. My mind run out of ideas. However I kept trying to write and I wrote several more songs, but none of them was good enough. One day you have a melody and ideas and then when you put it together it just doesn’t work at all. I also wrote a brand new Christmas song, but I wasn’t able to record it in time for Christmas, though there were only vocals left to record. I was looking forward to record it, but I couldn’t. I also composed a song in Slovak language, which sounded cool, and once again, only vocals are left to record, but I don’t feel it’s the right time. Several days ago, I wrote another song called “Isolate Me” and I’m slowly putting its pieces together. I need to keep writing songs because I am afraid if I stop it would be very hard for me to start again. It’s like keeping myself in songwriting condition, if you know what I mean. I am afraid of losing my songwriting skills. I already feel like it’s happening to me. There were times when I used to write about 20 songs a year and now the number is getting smaller with each year and each month. It’s scary.

I only record my songs, ‘cos I want them to be heard and understood. That’s all I want. Please, never take any song by your favourite artist, or any artist in general, for granted. There are always reasons why songs are written and there are always stories behind each and every song you listen to. We share it with you. We share our world, our life, our thoughts and attitude with you, hoping we do something you can relate to, something you can accept, love and enjoy, too. We share our hearts with you. Music is a gift.

Thank you.
