XXI - guitar cycles

songs that remind me of a girl --> songs that i learn --> songs that i want to sing to a girl --> songs that make me wistful.

i think being wistful is my pet emotion.

such a list (as far as i can recall):

robbie williams - angels
u2 - with or without you
bon jovi - never say goodbye
goo goo dolls - here is gone
guns n roses - november rain
guns n roses - sweet child of mine
eric clapton - wonderful tonight
jimi hendrix - little wing
aerosmith - angel
john mayer - slow dancing in a burning room
starsailor - some of us
eric clapton - layla
u2 - bad
coldplay - warning sign
tommy emmanuel - angelina
john mayer - neon
john mayer - back to you
john mayer - free fallin'
michael stipes - in the sun
john mayer - 3x5

but come to think of it, not all of these songs went through every step. but the good ones did.
why bother writing songs when there are so many good ones out there, that say what you think. maybe this is why people write weird songs, cos the good ones are all taken. like pokerface. and alt rock, like tonight.

i think it's awesome to sing something that really means something to someone.

maybe that's why i keep practising.

i realise that i'm not in it to be awesome. music is just, a language, and it depends on someone who listens.

but for the record, i love my guitars. :D
