[Kylan's Blog] More Difficult than I Thought

This songwriting stuff is more difficult than I thought it would be. I hadn't anticipated the way other music I listen to tends to seep into the songs I write. For instance, the other day I wrote a song and the melody of the verse sounds an awful lot like "Somebody's Baby" by Jon Foreman. That's a shame because I really liked how it worked with the rest of the song. I'm hoping to be able to change a few of the notes but keep the same feeling. Maybe I should stop listening to music for the rest of the month. Today is day six of the project, so I need to pump out my third full song this afternoon.
