" Was It Just A Dream?"

" Songwriting is about getting the demon out of me." - John Lennon

John Lennon wrote about his emotions and poured them out in songs that would become some of the most important, influential and powerful ones in history.  For all the success he achieved in life, the pain he endured is described in detail.  His songwriting was his therapy and he looked for ways to achieve his dreams.  His drive to succeed was influenced by his father abandoning him, his mother's death, his aunt raising him and meeting Paul McCartney.  I can understand why John said that quote about songwriting.  Sometimes you let so much emotion build up inside that you feel that you need to release it.  There is nothing more gratifying than to write and record a song and have people relate and express feeling the same way.  That is what gives people hope.  It is important that we continue to support each other and be kind to each other. 

I have uploaded two more songs "Imperfections" and " Underneath".  I would appreciate if you took some time to listen and leave feedback on them as well as the three that I uploaded last week.  There is a lot going on lately and it should come through in my lyrics.  I do think that I am developing as a singer songwriter and have made some progress compared to a year ago.  I hope you enjoy the music and the entry.  Hope you are all well!
