Nothing's New

Nothing's New by Rio Romeo (they/them)

It’s easy to be resentful. I carry resentment around with me everywhere I go. It’s alway been my default. Things don’t always go the way I want them to, life doesn’t always break the way I want it to, I can’t always do the things that you want to, and I start keeping score. It builds up. And then I find myself being miserable, and being a miserable person. 

During one recent session my therapist suggested that I practice gratitude. He suggested that, rather than keeping score of the bad things I start keeping score of the good ones. Sounds pretty simple and intuitive, right? What do I need to pay him for?

As I started practicing gratitude I became increasingly aware of all of the good things that I have in my life, and that inspired me to write this song. Maybe it’s a little sappy. Maybe it’s a little obvious. But it works. 

It’s a pretty simple song. I recorded the progression and the hammer harmonic part on my Black Pearl Telecaster and used the neck pickup on my Cherry Sunburst Heritage H150 for the lead. I absolutely love the tone. That guitar sounds huge. It is easily one of the best guitars I have ever played and I can’t believe that I am fortunate enough to own it and to be able to play it anytime I want. 

I am, ahem, incredibly grateful to be able to make music. I try not to take my ability and opportunities for granted. It is so easy for me to see the things that I don’t have the time and/or energy to do. Being able to write, play, and record a song like this just shows me how good I’ve really got it. 

My life has taken some unexpected turns over the years. I haven’t taken the easiest or most direct path to get to where I am now. But I am exactly where I want to be. I have a great life, and I am grateful for it.
