I think everyone has had a few of those days. For me when this happens, I usually just pick up my guitar or sit at the piano to put myself in another place – a better place.
There was this one time in particular when I was feeling a bit low and while playing my guitar, this song started to expose itself to me. I worked on it and worked on it until it was done. And before I knew it, instead of me feeling down, I felt uplifted with a great sense of accomplishment.
I called my friend so that I could play the song for her. And after I played it, there was this uncomfortable silence - and then she started to cry.
You see, she thought the song was about her. Nothing could have been further from the truth. I was working out my own problems.
(Which brings me to another point. Different people will interpret a song or any other piece of creation differently. That’s the power and beauty of art. But I’ll save that discussion for another time.)
It’s enough to say, that at that moment, both my friend and myself felt like we were the LONELY ONE.
