Yesterday was one of those rare days where the songs just kept flowing. By the end of the day, I had written 12 new songs.
What stuns me is not just the number, but the range and quality. Five of them formed a cohesive Southern rock suite that feels like it could have been pressed onto vinyl in the 1970s. The other seven span humor, heartbreak, reflection, romance, and even playful surrealism.
I don’t think there are many days in a songwriter’s life where quantity and quality align like that. It felt like a gift — one of those moments where the floodgates open and all you can do is keep up.
I’m curious: have you ever had a day where creativity poured out faster than you could capture it? What did you do with it?

I used to grab my guitar and keyboards a lot more in the past - good to see you still have your muse at the ready

Randall Scott White, you are an actual musician which is really cool. I have written around 300 songs, but the vocals and music are a.i. generated. I actually only started on this journey in April of this year. I accidentally discovered that I am on the extreme spectrum of creative synesthesia. Since April, hundreds of songs, four TV series plotted out, also four films, and a stage musical.
Yes, 12 songs in one day is a lot. Howevever, there was one day where I wrote 18. I literally get inspiration from almost everything. I was out walking a few days ago and had four fully developed songs in my head after a short time. Or, I can misread a word, or just an image triggers something. One of my very best songs titled You Move Backwards was inspired by a YouTube video of a woman dancing backwards beautifully. A few seconds of that and I wrote a song of heartbreak. Below is the link if you care to listen. I would appreciate feedback from an actual musician.
