Noodles From The Hiccups!  - A SONG IS BORN

7/3/2013

My phone started ringing.  I glanced at the caller ID and noticed it was my husband who had just left for work ten minutes ago.  No, he wasn't calling to remind me of a gig or because he forgot to tell me he wouldn't be home for dinner.  In fact, if he calls me from the car a few minutes after he has left the house, I know I have to drop everything and answer the call.  You see, the car is like a magical musical bubble for my husband.  For some reason, any time he's in it alone and stuck in traffic over the bridge, he gets inspired.  And when that happens.........a song is born.

I picked up the phone quickly and heard his voice ringing in my ears as he sang, "It's just another day, but it's not."  It was the simple line that started it all. Then he said, "What do you think babe?  Can you run with that?"  Yup.  No problem.  I had a million things to do that day, but when inspiration calls, you have to answer.  

I sang the line over and over in my head as I fed the kids breakfast and got them ready for their day.  

"It's just another day, but it's not."  

The line was so powerful.  I was drawn to the concept of waking up every day and making each moment unique and important even though it's "just another day."  And who does that better than kids.  When my children wake up, each day for them is an adventure.  They have no idea where their IMAGINATION will take them.

"It's just another day, but it's not."

Then I thought about how our town just raised enough money to rebuild our playground and there it was..........my lighting bolt of inspiration.  The playground is a place for dreaming, creating and imagining.  It is comprised of all the same pieces and yet everyday can be a new beginning for children. 

I sat down at the piano and wrote the lyrics and melody to our first hit single on The Hiccups! album.  Then I gave it to my husband and he made it come to life.  

Here's a sneak peak teaser of our first single called "Just Another Day."

    Welcome to the Noodles On The Wall Blog, a place where I share the trials and tribulations of a creative noodle maker. (That's me!) My life is full of noodles and I've learned it takes a dash of inspiration and a pinch of creativity to throw them up on the wall to see if they stick. Hope you stick around!
