Now that I finished the song Just Pray im kind of stuck. I worked on it for over 6 months and it was my main focus. Now that it is completed it just feels weird. I love recording music, but I love the process of writing a lot more. Endless practicing day in and day out got me pumped. Not only that but Just Pray had a lot of emotional ties for me in it. My dad keeps telling me how much he enjoys it, but now he wants me to do a happier song instead of the emotional/depressing ones I seem to write so often.
My biggest problem there is that I haven't really had a lot of happy times. Through out the years it has been one chaotic event after another. I got so used to the danger/sadness of everything that occurred daily that the happy times were few and far between. I wanted to write a song about my dad,but with the way his health keeps declining I find it very difficult and the love/romantic songs I right seem lackluster overall. My style of writing has become somewhat typecast. Hopefully over the next few weeks i'll be able to write something less malevolent than usual.

I understand the not having a lot of happy times. You can always try to put a positive spin on the bad things that happened. They did lead you to where you are in life now.

True, and the bad times were worth the outcome don't get me wrong. It's the whole making the song sound happy that I find difficulty in.
