I’m figuring out how to embed my bandcamp album in a blog post. I hope this works!

Blogging, Goals, Music

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted to my blog, but I’m feeling like it’s time to start blogging again. For the last few years I’ve dedicated a lot of my free time to music. I’ve recorded an album, and now I’ve posted my first music video to my Youtube channel. Here it is.

I’ve also just released my first album on Bandcamp. It’s called Way Back to Serenity. My page on Bandcamp is at www.timcoffey.bandcamp.com.

I’m planning to blog with lyrics and commentary for many of my songs as well as videos and some new artwork from time to time. It’s been way too long since I’ve blogged, but I needed to be focused on my work and dedicated in my free time to learning about music and recording. There’s so much to learn and practice, but I’m just at the beginning stage of feeling comfortable with sharing what I’m creating.

 

New Challenges

Last evening, I was thinking about making a short holiday greeting video for Youtube, but the challenge is how to come up with holiday music that doesn’t violate copyright. That made me ask the question, what if I write my own music?

So, I started to write my own song lyrics. I turned to some of the posts I’ve written for this blog for inspiration. It wasn’t quite a holiday song that began to form. Many years ago, I helped someone write a song, but this is the first time I’m trying to write a whole song and record it myself. It’s a little too ambitious to finish it this year in time for a holiday greeting, but maybe it can become an ongoing project for 2012. A new challenge for the new year.

The lyrics and structure probably need work, but here’s the first draft of the lyrics—

Share the Light from Inside
Lyrics by Tim Coffey

When it’s dark and it’s cold and the stars are inked out
And someone with the power has turned your lights out
When you feel numb from a pain too deep
Pain thrives when it feels alone

When you’ve lost your way in the darkness
Alone, you’re tangled up in a forest
When you suffer from a pain too deep
Hope thrives when it’s not alone

Everyone has one light
One light
Share the light from inside

Call me and we’ll meet in the forest
Untangling, untangling
And when you call, we’ll dig through the darkness
Digging, digging to find your light

Everyone has one light
One light
Share the light from inside

When I’ve lost my way, and it’s cold outside
When I feel numb from a pain too deep
Hope thrives when it’s with someone

When I’ve lost my way, and it’s cold outside
When I feel numb from a pain too deep
Hope thrives when it’s with someone

Everyone has one light
One light
Share the light from inside

The Whole World Writing, Creating Art, Music, Crafting

Art, Creating Equals Playing, Inspirational, Music, Writing

What if everyone in the whole world spent 20 minutes every day creating something to make the world a better place for everyone?

I have this idea that if people were focused every day on expressing themselves through writing, creating art, music, crafts, building, or performing, the world would be a better place. Maybe it’s just a silly, naive notion, and I have no idea how such a thing would be possible to orchestrate. But it made me feel good to think about the possibility of everyone in the whole world writing, playing music, sculpting, journaling, playing, singing, gardening and doodling every single day. I think it could go a long way to making people happier with our lives. It could be a cure for depression. Maybe WordPress is on its way to making that happen some day!
