Josh Morningstar
United States
Registrace 10. 07. 2012
Josh Morningstar is an artist that gives everything to his art-Van Gogh cut off his ear for his muse; Morningstar cuts out pieces of himself, examines it through the eyes of a humorist with a sense of Shakespearean tragedy, and gives it to the world in three-and-a-half minute sonnets that can make you cry tears of laughter and anguish at the same time. At the same time, his sound has a bit more “twang” than most folk music fans are accustomed to. It’s this live show-full of pain, laughter, reality, good times and bad-that has earned Josh Morningstar opening spots for a veritable “who’s who” of country and folk music these days.
The "I Can't Write A Song" Song | Josh Morningstar
The "I Can't Write A Song" Song by Josh Morningstar. From the album "Josh Morningstar"

Written by:
Josh Morningstar (BMI, Sad Smiles Music)
Lyrics:
Staring at another blank piece of paper
cause the words ain't coming out
Man, fuck it-I'll write it later
once I finally figure out
what I'm gonna write about
or how
I don't wanna write another song about a woman
it's been done and done to death
but what if another song about a woman
is all that I've got left?
Why do I suddenly feel so stressed?
and why's the tempo speeding up like this?
And now my hearts beating out of my chest
I should probably take a nap
instead of trying to find a clever line
and put it next
I guess that
This is where the chorus would probably go
if I could write a fucking song
It'd be something catchy and they'd play it on the radio
you'd learn the words and sing along
But the melody ain't coming
This guitar parts been done
and the words have all left and gone
But I'd probably be alright
If I could just write a fucking song
What do you do when your sense of self worth
becomes totally and completely tied to and attributed to
your profession?
Well, it doesn't take much for that profession to then become an obsession
especially if that profession is your means of introspection and self reflection
You hunt it every day with aggression
and you're willing to make concessions you normally wouldn't
because you have a predilection
for connection
So if I question where's the next one
It might seem like I'm seeking decompression
But really I'm just trying to lessen the depression
I get from using my transgressions without discretion
as a form of expression
in succession
with the deception
that he the exception
can't get past the perception of rejection
long enough to leave an impression
on those
who second guess him
So is there a lesson?
Yes
There's beauty in imperfection
But
I digress
What's next?
Oh, yes!
The chord progression says its the chorus section
So...
This is where the chorus would probably go
if I could write a fucking song
It'd be something catchy and they'd play it on the radio
You'd learn the words and sing along
But the melody ain't coming
This guitar parts been done
and the words have all left and gone
But I'd probably be alright
if I could write
I'm not alright
I need to write
I'd be alright
if I could just write a fucking song
Staring at another blank piece of paper
Ball it up, throw it out

Hi Josh - I like the style of your music, somewhere between Pink Floyd and Johnny Cash. At least I think so. Great sound and great composition, respect! 👍251 You have my subscription and the bell is on too. I am looking forward to more.... Take care and best wish from Germany from a new YT-friend, Daniel 🤘
