Sing!

“why don’t you sing, Wyz?
we have a choir here you know?

it’s great for the spirit
and a great break
from the daily tasks?

You hum or sing
to yourself all the time
you actually sing
under your breath all day long

music is such a huge portion
of your day…

why don’t you sing?

is it cos you don’t think you can?
everyone can sing you know
the voice is a tool
and like with any new tool
practice makes perfect..

why don’t you sing??”

“because I cry”
was my reply

the human voice never ceases
to amaze me

harmonies rock my world

and for a non-christian
I am ever moved by works
like the Messiah

this Random Act of Culture
made me weep all over myself this morning

so
I can’t sing in a choral group
because I lose complete control
and become a wet sniveling snotty mess
hardly lovely
and hardly conducive to carrying a tune…

but boy howdy! ya ought to hear me in the shower….

Tears and Rain…James Blunt

“Tears And Rain”

How I wish I could surrender my soul;
Shed the clothes that become my skin;
See the liar that burns within my needing.
How I wish I’d chosen darkness from cold.
How I wish I had screamed out loud,
Instead I’ve found no meaning.

I guess it’s time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure’s the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I’ve heard what they say, but I’m not here for trouble.
It’s more than just words: it’s just tears and rain.

How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind;
Hold memory close at hand,
Help me understand the years.
How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell.
How I wish I would save my soul.
I’m so cold from fear.

I guess it’s time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure’s the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I’ve heard what they say, but I’m not here for trouble.
Far, far away; find comfort in pain.
All pleasure’s the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
It’s more than just words: it’s just tears and rain.

Tears and Rain.

Tears and Rain.

Far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure’s the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
It’s more than just words: it’s just tears and rain.
