Music

When it comes to music, I was never much of a virtuoso… okay, I actually failed the class during my elementary years. However, a challenge is a challenge, and songs were an upgrade to poetry at the time of transitioning to writing articles. It was incredibly difficult coming up with a tune, but I somehow managed to fumble my way towards composing something with lyrics and a melody. I hummed it to my sister and suddenly, overcame the impossible, ending up with two numbers.

Obviously, I can’t sing being on a ventilator, but here are videos, recorded on October 29, 2011 at Phase One Studios, of my sister with her beautiful voice and brother-in-law playing masterfully on the grand piano. I hope you’ll enjoy my attempt at making music!

Dreaming Into You: I composed this one on January 29, 2005. It’s about missing someone; someone who can’t exist, and the journey of letting go.

All I See Is You: This is the first song I had ever composed, on May 13, 2004. It’s about the three physical extensions that lead to a woman’s heart; her eyes, smile, and touch.
