I HATE STEVIE WONDER

SINCE IVE BEEN WRITING SONGS,I FOUND OUT THAT ITS REALLY HARD NOT TO WRITE ABOUT PAST EXPERIENCE,PAST LOVES, PAST SORROW,PAST SELL BY DATES AND PASSING OUT .BUT IT GENERALLY COMES DOWN TO LOVE STUFF AS IN MOST SONGS SUNG BY SINGER /SONGWRITERS ..
LOVE IN MANY FORMS TOO.SO I ASK MYSELF ,WHAT LOVE DO YOU SING OR WRITE ABOUT ? LOST LOVE? LOVE FOR A PET DOG OR CAT?PAST LOVES,FUTURE LOVES,LOVE FOR A MOTHER OR FATHER, A CHILD,A SONG ,A CAR,A FILM ........IT MADE ME THINK JUST HOW MANY PRE REQUISITES YOU HAVE TO GO THRU TO GET A MEANING ACROSS.....AND ITS HARD .REALLY HARD TO JUST LET IT FLOW SOMETIMES.......I MEAN HOW MANY TIMES IN A DAY DO YOU SAY I LOVE THIS ,I LOVE HER ,I LOVE THAT,I LOVE SOMEONE ELSE?
I GUESS IT WOULD BE EASIER TO DISGUISE WHAT YOU ARE WRITING ABOUT,SO THAT PART OF THE LOVE PROCESS DOES NOT END UP SOUNDING GUSHY OR TOO AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! SOUNDING TOO ELOQUENT ALSO CAN BE A HARD ROAD FOLLOW ALSO ,CAUSE YOU DONT WANT TO SOUND TOO WORDY ,.....I EDIT ALL THE TIME AND END UP THROWING MOST THINGS AWAY AS SOON AS I RE READ THEM . MOON JUNE TUNE LOON ,THAT SORT OF THING ,AND MY MUSIC IM DOING NOW IS WITHOUT LYRICS COMPLETLY,JUST GOOD MELODIES AND GREAT BACK TRAX,BUT ITS SO FRUSTRATING NOT HEARING THE FINISHED SONG ..I GUESS ITS ALL IN THE LEARNING PROCESS, AND I WILL HAVE TO ADAPT...........BUT HOW DO SOME PEOPLE WRITE 30 ALBUMS, ALL THOSE WORDS AND MUSIC AND STILL DO IT WELL .ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.....IM GOIN TO BED ............SEE YA !!
