The Sound of Music

Today, I would like to talk about something that's very close to the soul.  I believe disregarding our cultural differences, everyone must have had listened to songs that have touched their heart and some, their very core of their existence.  Hence, in today's post, I will be touching on the very topic that I have introduced.  My brother just introduced me to a song of desperation and despair by Secondhand Serenade, "Your Call".  The intriguing part was how both of us interpreted the song.  While he interpreted the song as a love confession, which quite obviously it is, I interpreted it as a craving for something that is lost.  But there was one common ground in our interpretation and that was this song really touched us.  Hats down to Secondhand Serenade.

Sorry, I have digressed from the main topic.  Songs, regardless of our predisposition, are a gift that humans created for themselves.  While most of the time we read people saying that it was God who created music and stuff but they forgot one key essential thing.  Even if God really did create music, it is humans who materialised that music and disseminated it to the world.  A wise person once said, "God depicts, humans make happen."  That's why credits should always be given to the songwriter, if not, that would be so depressing.  Songs are an amazing window that can alleviate the predicament one is in and give hope to one who's in despair.  I am sure most of us have watched Shawshank Redemption.  In that movie, Andy personally said "Music is something that lives within you", meaning to say when we have acquired the essence of a song or music, it cannot be taken away from us, even by God.  That's why we always see people who have lost their memories or those who have suffered serious injuries can still react to the music they like.

Indeed, a good song can definitely wash all your sorrows and worries away.  So people, please listen to some good music/songs.  Life is so much more vivid with its presence.

Easter Is Coming~

Oh Frabjous Day, Caalo Calay~  Easter is on its way and by golly, it's Good Friday here!  Woohoo!  I hope all of you have your plans planned for the Easter break.  I, for one, am going to travel to Wellington and Rotorua!  Sadly, I will be on a solo mission to these places as my parents instructed me to go by public transport and I totally understand their concern.  Well, these places have a lot to offer including the mudspa, geothermal walk and mutton bird FTW!  I always believe that if you want to go traveling, make sure you can pay for the tours and whatnot because usually, they have elaborated explanations about the local attractions.  Well, I am not saying you must go for them but if you can, don't hesitate!

Now, for a little background story about Good Friday and Easter Monday.  Good Friday commemorates the death of Jesus as he carried the sins of his people (as they say) on him and went to get crucified (Amen Jesus).  He was said to be resurrected after 3 days (cause they saw a hole at the burial site) and all the people there were jolly and proud to that their preacher had gone back to the realms of the Gods.  Well, that's about it.  So, Happy Easter everyone and have a pleasant break~ ^^
