"Music and thoughts behind them; this tuesday"

[Thom Heatly]

"...I´m back from southern Europe. It sure feels good to be back in front of your drawing board. So much to do. .when you try to be a creative artist. One has to have ability to come up with new ideas and songs all the time. But it don`t have to be a must thing that one has to think all the time.

I have coupe with this issue: I think that reading must be one of the easiest ways to come up with new ideas. Second thing is taking time for yourself-new ideas need the time desperately. Third is music itself;listening/speaking with other musicians and simply playing music opens doors for new ideas. Traveling is the fourth very important thing for me. Maybe light(especially in winter time), change of scenery helps me to concentrate in music.

As you travel you understand your life better and you see things , coupe with problems as they apper, learn one or two things from yourself. What do you miss in your life?What makes you happy or unhappy?What drives you?.."
