I'll record ideas as they come, and write down words on whatever paper I can find. When a song nears a complete stage, I write it in a singular journal.

Exactly my thought process here. I'd play music a heck of a lot more if I could, but I'm a science teacher first and foremost. I love my "real job!" That said, I think it would be wonderful to be able to somehow break into writing for film or television. Above all else, I would like to be a respected figure in the local music community when I'm 50. We have a strong folk scene here, and my music skirts the borders of that with the rock scene, so I'm trying to find my respective niche. The figureheads of the folk scene are revered in their niches - I really look up to those players.

Sometimes the writing process is a figure - it - out - as - I - record - ideas type thing. In the past, I'd take the ideas to the band and we'd figure out the other instrumentations. Now that I'm solo, I record an acoustic rough draft, solicit feedback and then record a second draft eventually leading up to a "final" piece. I would like to have an EP released before the end of the year. Naturally, I'm only doing it for fun and don't care if I sell one, but it's always cool to tell people "I'm on iTunes!" I'd LOVE to press a vinyl.... that would be awesome. I'm really just keeping the songs as mine these days, writing, recording and playing. I haven't brought any one else into the mix yet, but I certainly would like to play a show or two with a three piece in the future.

Instantly, I hear the same chord progressions. To me, both songs sound EXTREMELY similar. The chord structure is the same, but the tempo of the Independence Song is slower. Now, I could argue that there are many other songs that follow a similar chord progression. Not knowing the translation, I can't compare lyrics. I have heard other examples of songs extremely close to one another that weren't considered plagiarism. If the Red Hot Chili Peppers can release Dani California and not have Tom Petty sue the socks off them, then I think this is probably okay.
