YAH SUKKAS!!! I bought a microphone and shit from Guitar Center and I am ready to start laying my sweet voice down on some even sweeter tracks. Yes, I said it, my sweet-ass voice. Next up on my list of shit buy using money I don't have: a drumset. I also have a question. It's mostly a moral issue with me but I think I would like some advice on this matter.
Q: I wrote some songs about a particular girl who I was at one time in love with. For reasons that are fucked up beyond recoginition, we are no longer together (her fault, not mine). So of course I relayed my feelings into my songs. Some of the songs are possibly going to used on a cd that should be out in the next six months. The one problem that I have is that I feel like I should ask her permission to use the songs. Since the songs are about her I feel that they are as much hers as they are mine. One song is about our friendship (before I gave her the most gratifying orgasms.) Two songs are about our relationship (written during the time we were fucking like bunnies, kissing like schoolchildren, and loving every day of it.) Last but not least, six songs were written after we ceased being "J and M." Now the first three songs are fabulously flattering to her and they mean a lot to me. The last six are very, very--venomous--for lack of a better word. Should I care about whether or not they were written about her and put them down anyways or should I go with my gut feeling and ask her for her permission to press them? Maybe I should ask Carly Simon. She would know what to do.
