I love the way you put this together. This song would resonate with many songwriters.

Great answer for "writer's cramp" Jeff. Well thought-out lyrics.

Hit the nail squarely on the head !!  Cool song, Well done !  And I gotta ask...... Is that you in the picture ?

Enjoyed.  Nice little sort of "stream of consciousness" thing. .What to write about next....

Sowing Creativity – Jeff Gilpin – 2-10-2021

Intro G C G D

I could [G]write about the weather
Or I could [G]sing about the stars
[G]Dream about the planets
[G7]Jupiter maybe Mars
Or I could [Em]sink
Into my [D]head
Dig a[G]round in there [C][G][D]

My [G]thoughts could take me anywhere
That I could [G]possibly want to go
[G]Speeding through reality
Or Fanta[G7]size taking it slow
Because I’ve [Em]got
[D] Plenty of
Mate[G]rial in there [C][G][G7]

So I go [C]digging in my head
Sowing creative[G]ty [C][G]
[C]Turning my thoughts
Into reali[D]ty [D7]

Solo on chorus chords C G  - C D D7  - G C G C D

The [G]weather’s just a metaphor
The [G]stars a state of mind
The [G]planets are just people
Yet to meet or left far be[G7]hind
Though I [Em]never really
Leave [D]anyone
Far be[G]hind [C][G][D]

So I [G]start a little thinking
[G]Letting my mind go
[G]Any old direction it wants to
At any [G7]speed fast or slow
Auto[Em]pilot’s
Kicking it [D]in
And leading me [G]on [C][G][G7]

As I go [C]digging in my head
Sowing creative[G]ty [C][G]
[C]Turning all my thoughts
Into reali[D]ty [D7] outro G C G C G let the last G ring

None

Sowing Creativity

I am a bit of a music/songwriting hobbyist. I write a ton of songs and often get requests to share scratch recordings so that is why I started using soundcloud. I am very active on chordie.com and currently one of the moderators helping out on the songwriting and song request forums. I have some of my more polished songs on reverbnation.com -  http://www.reverbnation.com/jeffgilpin - but I do not have the time or backing to pursue music other than a hobby. I do like all types of music but I tend to lean towards the more obscure artists than the one who get the majority of radio play. I always wonder some great talents never have been able to "make it" in music but I enjoy the stories that go along with all artist's careers and lives.
