I actually have had the problem that I can recognise and label that phenomenon as "influence" - we have to obtain influences. I haven't consistently been able to capture powerful musical influences in years, I might be finished with it, but hey I learned what I needed to from those to keep making my own influences. I write something, I respond to what's written with a questioning manner, I create a stronger piece. It's hard to feel bad about that, because WHAT on earth have I got to blame myself for?

I'm the sculptor. Yeah, occasionally I chisel off a bit too much, and sometimes I don't chisel enough.

BTW, the highway song story from Tom Waits is pretty much EXACTLY the truth. Sometimes I will have a melody concept, and it is only relevant to me when I hear it. That's inspiration - a key thing strikes you at a key moment. What people don't understand is that you can create those feelings of awe in others without experiencing it during your work. You don't have to consider your music a revelation every time you write it, someone else may be in the right place at the right time to hear and experience that, though.
