In Order To Nail That Song

I have a song that I sang every morning for a number of months.

After that length of time you might have thought I’d have nailed it down.

It never felt like that.

It never felt like every single aspect of it….the delivery, the emotion, the technique, the honesty, the awareness, the in the moment-ness, the vocal, the guitar work…it really never felt like it ALL came together.

But I hear that some artists do allegedly “nail it’. I hear it even happens to them when an audience is there. I hear that the audience is aware of it too.

And I now suspect that the last thing I needed to do, In Order To Nail That Song, was to let go of the expectation of ever nailing it.

I have a feeling that is where the magic might lie.
