Have you ever wondered where songs come from? I have. I kind of wonder all the time. Sometimes songs spring into your head fully formed and ready to play. Other times songs seem to take forever. They may sit on the shelf or go through numerous rewrites before you get it right. It takes between minutes and years to write a song.

Inspiration is a fickle mistress. It’s very difficult for me to create on a schedule. Sometimes I feel in command of what the song is about. Other times I feel like the song is writing itself. Your brain needs time to work without you interfering. Sometimes the best thing to do is to take an afternoon off, or a day, or a week, or a month, or a year. Just to let your brain munge around in the background, while you get on with life. Lately, I’ve felt like this and though it goes against all traditional podcasting wisdom. I needed some time off. I needed perspective. I needed to understand what’s really important in my life.

I’m Tim Rose and welcome to Season 6 of the Tim Tunes Podcast. This is our fifty-fourth regular episode.

This episode I’ll be cleaning up a little left-over work from last season. We’re starting this season with songs that I wrote as a thank you to the last three interviewees from season five. We’ll listen to three new songs and follow the journey to writing each of them.

So, strap on your beanie, flip your propeller, and let’s get started!
