My baby girl is in her first band, writing her first, official song. She was working on the bridge yesterday. She’s learning the thing anyone who makes anything knows all too well: you can’t force creativity.
It never comes if you force it.
Billy Rae Cyrus:
We all play by ear and we play by what we feel. I play music that way and I play life that way, to a fault.
I’ll wait till the last minute sometimes to make a decision, to wait and see what feels right. My dad had the best advice. He always said:
“Son, when you don’t know which way to go, stand still.”
And I’ve always found that to be valuable. To get into that moment of crossroads of not knowing which way, sometimes if you’ll stand and just listen it’ll reveal itself.
