You say:
1. "I would like to begin by saying that my good feelings (good moods) of happiness, joy, beauty, love, inspiration, drive, etc. are the only experiences that give value to my life and composing and they are the only things that make my entire life and my composing worth living for."
2. "My life and my composing needs to be worth living for and my good feelings are an absolute necessary condition to make that happen. I plan on fully dedicating my time and my life to composing like how any hardcore 10,000 hour rule musician would and I plan on becoming a great composer since that is my dream. But my good feelings are the only things that can make that happen."
Your interest in music is very interesting. I have a musician neighbor who told me not long ago, "The only thing required to make a song is to write a poem and then put it to music."
I never knew that.
When you say composing, you are talking about
putting together music, I guess. I have always been fascinated by people who can do that, and hold them in high esteem.
Since you're interested in music, what do you think of these songs?
"Annie's Song"
(words and music by John Denver)
You fill up my senses like a night in the forest,
like the mountains in springtime, like a walk in the rain,
like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean.
You fill up my senses, come fill me again.
Come let me love you, let me give my life to you,
let me drown in your laughter, let me die in your arms,
let me lay down beside you, let me always be with you.
Come let me love you, come love me again.
"Johnny B. Goode"
(words and music
by the recently deceased Chuck Berry)
Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play the guitar just like a ringin' a bell
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
Oh, the engineers would see him sittin' in the shade
Strummin' with the rhythm that the drivers made
The people passin' by they would stop and say
Oh my but that little country boy could play
His mother told him "Someday you will be a man,
And you will be the leader of a big old band.
Many people comin' from miles around
To hear you play your music when the sun go down
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight."
"Softly As I Leave You"
Softly, I will leave you softly
For my heart would break if you should wake and see me go
So I leave you softly, long before you miss me
Long before your arms can beg me stay
For one more hour or one more day
After all the years, I can't bear the tears to fall
So, softly as I leave you there
