From Now On a New Song Everyday

Remember that if every experience is a balloon, we can imagine piercing the balloon with a pin, and instead of the balloon just deflating it will pop and its surface will explode into a thousand shards of latex and the shards will be suspended by some invisible force in the air. Each of these shards of latex represents a facet of the single experience, and each facet of the experience will be equally true but no single facet will hold the whole truth. It is the same for writing songs. Every song is a version of the truth, but not the only truth and not the whole truth. I suppose the same could be said about any form of art, or any mode of honest movement. Anyway, I am going to try to write, record, and post a song, as defined above, every day from now on. Some will be better than others, some will be heavier than others, some will probably outright suck, I probably won't really be able to do it every day, all of them will definitely be short, and I will look awful in some of them, like I do in this one, because this is essentially an exercise routine, and really, no one looks good when they are exercising.
