Is Having Some Trouble with the EP

My plans for the upcoming EP (That still doesn't have a name) are as follows:

1. Get it out as soon as possible
2. Have 5 songs, or preferably 6
3. No covers

I'm having a little trouble writing the last two songs... Sometimes I lack inspiration, sometimes I can't think of lyrics, and sometimes I just can't make the music that I think would appropriately say what I want the song to say. In case you hadn't gathered the information so far, the tracks that are set to go on the EP are:

1. If Life was Like a Video Game
2. Stay with Me Forever
3. Music is Easy

Another thing I'm debating is to try and make the songs deeper and more serious or more goofy and fun. I prefer to write (At least when it comes to my stories) deeper stuff, but in real life I tend to be a lot more goofy. These conflict when I try to make music. Also, I would like to do at least one semi-rocky song on the EP. I have a hard time writing a song like that I would even possibly expect others to listen to.

Anyway... Just figured I'd post something up here about the EP... Even though I really haven't done anything since the last post.

will you be posting Music is Easy of your iLike page? btw I just listened to Array of Feelings, very good, I don't know what it is, but you have like your own sound, it is way cool. Watch the Glen Miller Story, good movie (with James Stewart!!!) and it is about these guys that spend about 20 years to find their own sound like you have already obtained in about 1 year.

I'm sorry that you're having trouble with this...but keep working on it!

Btw...don't listen to Bethany. The Glen Miller Story is very depressing, you wouldn't like it.

Hey, bud, keep working at it. You might check out the Psalms for some inspiration. There's a lot of good stuff in there that you could take in a number of different directions... ;-)

It'll come together in the end, I'm sure! :-D
