Well, at least I can't say being up here doesn't give me inspiration to write music. It was actually one of those things I knew would happen before I came. Apart from making money, I definitely saw this as a music retreat.
Last night we went out to see the northern lights, and it was so big! It covered an entire half of the sky! It was amazing and ever shifting - looking like it was dancing with the wind.
It's funny because my latest song is called Aurora, and when I first started writing it, I didn't really know what it would be about, because lyrics simply come to me most of the time, like visions, and sometimes it takes a while even for myself to get the message. But after some thought, Aurora seems to be about my time up here so far, and how taking some distance from my previous lifestyle has given me space to digest things and understand myself better. Understand people in general better actually and the different facets of this world! So it's been a fun and enriching process!
I'm trying to record a demo version right now that I will upload as soon as I'm happy with it (not going to be a perfectionist)
It's fun too to notice how my music style changes over time. I currently feel that I'm more open to experimenting and really look forward to trying to develop all these songs with other musicians in the near future.
