Doing a Deep Dive: 1985-1990

If you’ve found my new YouTube Channel, you might already know what I’m up to. I’ve been posting my latest batch of songs for the past month. But soon I’l. be doing a deep dive.

I’ve been writing songs since I was 10 years old living in the pines of Maine. I didn’t really consider myself a “songwriter” however, until I reached my 20s. That’s when I started getting serious about the art. I still had a lot to learn. Between the years of 1985-1990 I probably wrote about 50 songs. I’m revisiting 14 of those.

A handful of the 14 will stay either exactly or very close to how they were originally written. Some will get rewritten lyrics. Others will get new music. A few, other than the titles, are almost new songs. It’s been a fun project and I should start posting the songs to my YouTube Channel in the first week of March.

I will be intentionally slowing down a bit on how often I post at YouTube. I was posting daily at first, just to get a base of material. Now it might only be a couple of times a week.

Finally, although I started the channel solely as a place to record and document my lifelong hobby of songwriting, I might do more with it. I’m mulling it over. – dse
