August 22, 2010: Bjork - Declare Independence

Bjork - Declare Independence: youtube.com/watch?v=igOWR_-BXJU

I once heard a writer asked what made him a writer, to which he said "The fact that it's harder for me than it is for the regular person to write anything."

I haven't written anything substantial in a while. I write, not as often as I'd like but in spurts quite often. I've been jobbing a lot lately and trying to build some savings and pay off debts and haven't been able to focus on most anything creative. It's always a difficult period but I'm getting through and reading a lot, at least. And most anything I write right now is shit.

I had a focus some years ago and that focus has been attained. I'm waiting on masters for an album that contains many months, several years worth of that focus and once it's released I can breathe again, find new streets. I'm acquiring a new focus now but am scattered always; I just need one word and it'll be a whole library to come flowing. But it's in wait.

This song draws me more than most any right now. I won't go into detail on the draw that comes (I'll keep that for myself), but it comes slowly and with horses.

Also, Bjork is pretty untouchable. It'll never be this good.
