The songwriter's world

       It becomes quite clear to the people watching a movie that the actors are merely playing the part as directed by the director. However, the same things can only be arguably applied to musical recordings. There is somebody who also directed the singer to produce some notes. After all having a mastery over your voice is know good if you don't know how to use it. It must be understood that a good voice and a good feel of music are not necessarily synonymous, or for that matter even synchronous.
      A songwriter's world is full of music that has never been heard. They have imaginations for the sounds they hear, and in a subjective way they have a feeling for what adds motion or contrast to a particular idea. It is true that the music they hear leads them to the next chord, but that next chord may not always be found. Many a times there are unquenched emotional thirsts that lay buried deep in the songwriter's mind.
    A big challenge to the songwriter's mind is the notes that remain in head. They are good when composing a song. Music is essentially an instrument guided by intuition and experience. But what about the time when you don't need music? The note still hangs there. Ringing aloud, and it may become very difficult to control it. Also, a songwriter has a feeling for almost any type of sound. And it can include an annoying person or event that is somehow unavoidable. It is therefore a must that a songwriter be able to divorce the mind from the prevalent 'bad musicality'. Ignorance is bliss, rightly said.
