Oh yeah! That happens too often for my liking. You get pretty good at constantly recreating the emotion just to stay in that particular head space. It can get taxing. By the time I've finished a song, I've probably played it nearly 1,000 times. I have a program that lets me put things to sheet music, but I don't find that nearly as therapeutic, as a process. I'll usually put it to sheet music only once I've finished the whole thing, and I only do that because I've lost countless songs over the years that only exist as a vague feeling I have now. Haha That sucks.
