"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

I want to start my own band in the near future but I have no experience. If anyone was/is in one or [closely] knows someone who is, how did you/they get started? I'm not sure what to do besides just playing more and getting better.

I would be lead guitar/vocals so I'd need bass/drums and maybe another vocalist.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Currently I'm in a band, and also doing some solo stuff. We first started off, playing some covers. Soon we moved on to making songs of our own, we practice 2 times a week and play at some night clubs....
