Name: Song In My Soul
Duration: P00H04M05S
Description: After not being able to write for about a year, I caught the reason. It was an inner dialogue that said there was no point in me creating, that no one would care, that I shouldn't even bother and there was no point.

about

After not being able to write for about a year, I caught the reason. It was an inner dialogue that said there was no point in me creating, that no one would care, that I shouldn't even bother and there was no point. So I wrote about that little voice and BROKE THROUGH to the other side.

lyrics

If a thousand words is worth a picture, then I got albums of rhyme and scripture. I got a million things to say, but I stop myself half way. And that writer's block says, "Why bother writing this? It'll never be on the radio, or peoples' tv sets." But I got a song in my soul! I've been too busy wonderin' what it sounds like instead of letting go. I'm saying goodbye to my ego, so I can write that song from my soul. I know if my spirit isn't in tune with the world, then it echoes back no matter my smile or word. I've finally gotten to a point where I don't know what's going on. And I'm questioning the path I chose vs the one I'm on. And that writer's block says... (repeat chorus) So I salute the artists who can't be in that top percent... who create beyond illuminated screens and refuse to lament... JUST WRITE that song from your soul. Don't be busy worryin' what It sounds like instead of letting go. Just say goodbye to your ego so you can write that song from your soul.
