Love always inspires me. Brings tears of joy to my eyes most times... i'd rather have loved and lost it than never loved at all. But when the magic of loving and being loved in return happens... there are no words to describe this experience.. no words.
I was so inspired by this song when i heard it a few years ago i had to record it. I eventually recorded with Tutu on the Expressions album.Tutu has such a lovely and great voice, it's clear why i keep looking for people like Tutu to give some of the arrangements and songs i write a voice...
Yesterday I was chatting with MOG (a friend back at home) who reminded me of this album and I listened to some of the songs...
This one still had the same inspiring impact on me as it did the first time i heard it so I decided to share it. I also decided that between today and saturday, i'll share 2 or 3 songs from that album on here.
This song was written a long time ago about the meaning of friendship... relationships sometimes are hard to define especially when boundaries need to be drawn and i believe that was where this song came from.
What you mean to me is about feeling deeply connected to someone and trying to figure out what it means.
This was probably quite a few months ago... i never uploaded it for some reason... think it skipped my mind.. i was listening to the song today and felt it was time to upload it so here goes.
If you are fortunate to be with someone you love and maybe even you are married to this person, then this song is very likely to make sense and resonate with you.
Love is powerful and to love and be loved in return is one of the greatest feelings known to man.
The simplicity and the pureness of being in love with the perfect person is where this song comes from.... Appreciate the special person in your life.
Wrote this song this evening, not finished yet really, more stuff to write probably a verse and some variation. Then to get a nice lead to do it.
We get hurt, it often hurts so bad we feel like dying! It unbelievable just how painful it gets, no one seems to understand, least of all the person who hurt us...
I had this brief exchange about forgetting yesterday
with someone in the cloud… trying to understand what exactly needed to be
forgotten and why….I assumed it was a painful memory, but i might have been wrong.
it got me thinking of why people get hurt so easily
and so much? often no one wants to hurt the other but nevertheless it happens…
maybe there is a different way to view it all, maybe we owe it to ourselves to
find this alternative perspective…. otherwise no matter what we do, no matter how we try to rationalise it, no matter how we try to distract ourselves..., we’ll still
be drowning.
Don't need a reason to look this good, feel so fine, wear this smile...
I've had this song for a while but never actually shared it. I was browsing through the archives and listened to it yesterday and maybe it was because of what i was thinking, the context at the time, whatever it was, I dug it out, did a minor remix and ... here it is!
Social networking and social media are interesting propositions... twitter, facebook, blogs, youtube, dailymotion, digg, delicious, windows live, ilike, lastfm, myspace, flickr, skype, gizmo, and the list goes on.... usermames, avatars, contact details, status updates...
Just got thinking about stuff that can now be said to the world, done , shown... oh my, what opportunities... what an experience... what fantasies can be played out, what boundaries can be pushed... but who knows if there is a true price to this unbelievable collective consciousness we are enabling...
But then, who cares...
Got inspired to write a song this afternoon after twittering and chatting for a while after lunch... :)
If you have ever falling in love with someone and the fear of being turned away kept you away from even telling the person, then you'll know understand where this is coming from.
If you have loved someone who didn't feel the same way, then you probably know what this is about...
Love is such a beautiful feeling, but it can hurt as much as it is beautiful..
Fear is the one thing that takes away the joy of loving... fear drives actions that yield the exact opposite results from what is desired. Fear deceives and dissappoints. Fear plays games to avoid being hurt and ends up being hurt even more..
Love is pure, love is kind, love is forgiving, love is trusting, love is the most inspiring of all experiences i have come across, it'll turn darkness into light, dissappointment into achievement, dreams into reality.
It is better to hope in love than to fear, let hope drive your actions in love, the results would always be purer, kinder, trusting and inspiring... whatever the outcome is...
I wrote this song (below) almost 10 years ago, it would be nice to get some decent vocals on this... any takers? :)
listening to the still small voice that talks silently
louder than the roaring crowd. seems like society was designed to dull out the
voice but we still hear it. thank God.
Musis has always been a part
of me. I don't see music as a something I do... music is part of the
unity that is me. I do not express myself with music, I create
expressions with music such that even I listen back and am touched.
The opportunity to share
original music on this site has actually provided the necessary
inspiration for me to create... thank you. Thank you especially to
everyone who gives me feedback and comments, for without these, I can
only hope...
learning is what keeps us alive. the moment we stop learning, we start to die. I am fascinated by the idea of learning and being able 'to do..." everything i can do, i learned.
teaching often gets in the way of learning and this is one reality that keeps me on the topic.
what does it mean to believe? what does it mean to have faith? The reality of God comes to me through his wisdom more than any other way. i have come to understand that my thoughts and ideas, my inspiration and my creation are only possible because of the word in me.
I love to question God for it is the result of deep discussion that one receives revelation. Life is in constant motion, dynamic, nothing is static. Writing however is static, thus what I write now is not reflective of where I am even right now as i write it.. that is God, that is life.
images of places you've been, things you've seen, people like you and achievements of mankind can inspire, motivate and provide a sense of achievement.
For me, photography becomes a way to single out instances of experience and crystallize them in time. candid shots hold more meaning for me when human beings are the subject.
