Songwriting Challenge, broken hearted, but learning lessons. By songwriter, Morgan Washam

At the end of 2018, I decided that this year for a New Year's resolution, I was going to make my songwriting come to life. Shortly after the beginning of 2019, I determined that I would make it my goal to write one new song each week, in an attempt to stoke my creative juices, as well as expand my personal songwriting catalog. I really wasn't sure if I would do anything as sophisticated as blogging about it. Yet, I have come to the conclusion that in doing so, it will serve the purpose of letting some of you kind folks know a little more about me and my passion, while also keeping me accountable in creating one song per week.

So I intend on making some type of post here on Wildwood Media each week, and will include a link to the new song of the week. Week #1's song is called, "Heart in Heart". https://soundcloud.com/morganwasham/heart-in-heart
It's a song about fighting to hold onto something worth holding onto in this crazy epoch of consciousness called life, True Love.

This past month, my fiancee of one-year left me. This was due in-part to my own negligence, as I discovered that I had actually not listened to her properly from the outset of our relationship. She needed me to take care of her heart, but when it mattered most, I was busy worrying only about myself and my own needs. I love this woman dearly and asked for her forgiveness. She is the love of my life and I'm so afraid that I have permanently altered the keys to her heart. However, I think that sometimes things in life have to unfold in a way so that people can grow and learn on the journey to becoming their best self. I pray that she decides to let me back into her heart.

This song came to me in one two-hour car ride from central Kentucky back to southern Ohio, where I was pondering the frightening possibility of living my life without the most amazingly, beautiful soul I've ever known. Following the trip, I sat down and quickly found the chords to the melody and words that had spilled onto my voice-to-text. I then went and penned the song in my book of songs. I hope to one day perform this for her at our wedding! http://morganwasham.com [email protected]
