Old songs

The feeling I sometimes get when I listen to songs I wrote years ago is like a college student looking back at writings and drawings one did in elementary school.

I can see the line of musical progress moving upward as the years pass, the farther back I go the less I recognize the songs as a part of my being and the more they seem slip into a hazy chimerical existance that I know is my past but I can no longer identify with.

I wonder how many other musicians get annoyed when listening to their old work.

"If I only had time to go back and redo them I would change...."

No time for the past. The future is more interesting.
