Dude it sounds like you need to take a break. If i were you id go live in the forest in a cabin with nothing but a radio and a phone for a couple weeks. When you get back youll be a new man.

I go through periods like this. Sometimes I'll go for as much as a month without picking up my guitar, but then, one day inspiration comes to me again and I start writing again. You'll come around. I always do.

I think that you've just fallen into routine. I make a point of not doing anything that I can't explain the reasons for to myself, and when I feel stuck in a rut, I ask "then why do I keep doing (problem activity here)?" Usually the answer I come up with is "cause I have to." Don't let yourself think like that, man. don't practice for a couple of weeks, and when you want to practice again, ask why. if you say anything but "cause I'm out of practice" / "It's what I do" then go back at it like you just got out of prison.

Anecdote time!
I play the drums, and I've been in and out of folk and metalbands for the past couple of years. When I got kicked out of a band a week ago, I was crushed. They said that "I just didn't fit" I didn't want to practice, or even see a pair of drumsitcks again in my life. so I chucked my sticks at my stereo amp (I didn't wnat to hear music for a while. read: ever) and, lo and behold, my throw got a pair of 9A custom-lathed drumsticks stuck in the mic jack. so I went rummaging around my housew for something to get that fucker out of there, that's a vacuum-tube amp, vintage 1964! So I'm looking for a saw and a corkscrew when I tripped over a guitar case. I paniced, hoping that I didn't hurt it (I hit HARD) so I opened it up. It's a crappy japanese replica of a '72 gibson special, and I've never played anything sounding remotely like music on it.

I can't play the guitar. but that gave me an idea, so when I got the drumstick out of the mic jack, I plugged in the guitar and looked up the tab to Immigrant Song. I can't sing, either, but I did my "best" to play the song. Haven't played the drums with a band again, but now I'm temping for this one punk band whose guitar player (plays worse than me, according to the demos and his bandmates) has a broken wrist. I expect to get a good 4 months out of this job, and it really helped my feelings of patheticness (is that a word?). So I would say find an environment that lets you totally forget your band for a little while whilst you explore a different path. you shuld start feeling like you want to go back after some time.

In the teachings of Zen, the beginner's mind is the most restful, the most aware. As we age, we lose that mind, the mind of the child. David Blaine once said "A little baby doesn't need magic, for it already lives in a world of astonishment, wonder, and discovery. For one fleeting moment, that is what magic does for the rest of us." Well, that is what psychedelics do for me, but over a longer period of time. So before you go regulating what I take into my body, keep that in mind.
I will break the laws of the ignorant bigots who seek to stop me from experiencing a higher conciousness.

Peachman, you said it works again. What changed? Did you take a break? I ask because I find myself in a similar predicament. (band, growing fan base, loathing of once-loved songs).

Even John Lennon needed a break from music.

Maybe it already has. This thread is three years old and Peachman hasn't posted here in a year.
