TURN OFF THE SCREEN.
WELL... NOT REALLY...
OR MAYBE TURN IT OFF WHEN THINKING.
Today as i was about to go out on a walk to the park i had this catchy alternative rock song in my mind, it wasn't from a band or artist, it was from me, i imagined it on the spot, riff, bassline, lyrics, chorus and bridge, beginning and end.
But then i made the genius idea of going back to checking my phone and go on with my day, as i was about to search on my mental hard drive for the song it wasn't there anymore... i lost it, obviously you can't write a song from your mind, otherwise it would be like..
"DUN... DUN DUN DUN... DUN DUN... DUUUUUUN DUN DUN.... DUN"
Maybe we can all get inspired by just being away from the invisible obligations of the modern world, that being the screens, social media, etc. Boredom is not only your friend, it is your ALLY, your bridge between you and what you can really get on paper when the time comes, without needing confirmation from others.
I get my inspiration from boredom, it feels like a door that opens and i just walk inside on autopilot, writing, reading, listening to music, then staying AWAY from those things and just be you and blank noise really makes you think on creating rather than consuming.
So yeah, try it yourself!
