Inevitable meta art song… creating art about creating art. Lord help us all!
When I was just half asleep
The word fairy came to me
She was laying down some solid beats
But the song was buried in my dream
Write it down right now today
Get up And Get your notebook out
Write write write it down right now
Before the words get away
When I was gettin clean
I was thinkin bout some old flame
But My thoughts started gettin mean
And the words went flowing down the drain
Write it down right now today
Get up And Get your notebook out
Write write write it down right now
Before the words get away
For a while there was nothing new
I didn’t want to waste the words
To talk about feeling blue
So they flew away just like birds
Write it down right now today
Get up And Get your notebook out
Write write write it down right now
Before the words get away
All I wanted to do was play
I didn’t want anything to pin me down
I wasn’t looking for nothin to say
So the words never came around
Write it down right now today
Get up And Get your notebook out
Write write write it down right now
Before the words get away

Nice write! I love the image of the words swirling down the drain.

Resonates completely with music as well. Such a simple sort of structure, but the words really hit. Knowing you and knowing me and how we are similar in many ways, I need to take this song to heart. I've lost so many great musical moments. I am glad you are capturing yours now. :)

True that!
