Happiness isn’t as inspiring...
Happiness isn’t as inspiring as I hoped it would be. When I’m happy, I barely write. I always have to rewind my life to the moment of deepest pain to write lyrics. Guess it’s because when I’m happy, I don’t feel the deep to let it all out. I let it all out because I don’t want it inside me, I don’t want to feel it anymore, so I write it away to sing it away. But happiness? I want to keep it. I cling on to it so that’s why I don’t write about it, because I might sing it away as well.

interesting take DeMonicka,
we are creatures full of various hopes and dreams and aspirations . sometimes they get shattered or maybe just delayed, musically it reveals itself accordingly with our inventions, or perhaps we are influenced by love, or lack thereof.
perhaps a love for someone is lost, that kindred spirit we hoped would last forever evaporates, or we fall out of love and wonder why, . and we as artists respond in kind,.
Pain is a short term thing, for me anyways, and we have to acknowledge and I deal with those emotions by writing something, or immediately;y going to the piano ,put on the H2 or Q3 recorders and play something off the cuff, improvisational, but it turns out very structured and well arranged
I have to agree though some of my best works in instrumentals have been when i have been in a strange morose or down mood. But then again I like to clarify at this stage in my life I do songs I hope are inspirational and uplifting and more positive. Although I have to state that there are many dark and brooding ones as well
good post . keep them coming

It is often said that the best art is made from troubled times. That is how it is for me too, lyrically, anyway. However when I am steeped in problems, i don't end up making much music, my best conditions for actually turning on my studio or picking up my guitar come when I am problem free and have the luxury to flow, if that makes any sense.
