Creation and Creator

.IOL session.

i had a great time at IOL session. Sister XXX and Father XXX (I forgot their names) would play the song and we would reflect on the words, etc. it is amazing how different words appeal to different people. the long echo-y hall, songs played at mid range. it's really inaudible. but wonder of it all is that we heard different things. as a musician, it takes conscious effort to focus on music as a whole and not just breaking things down into keyboards. lyrics. music. guitars. etc. just appreciate everything as a whole.

.revolution and song writing.

been trying to write a song " I WILL RISE AGAIN". i was really inspired by one of the phrase that father william said during a talk. about with god's love, we will rise again to greater glory. had the lyrics and melody. then the lyrics seems confused. changed was needed. then melody and lyrics don't flow. i realized during the retreat is that my lyrics is focus on man's negativeness to reflect god's good. but, god is good. there isn't a need to highlight his graciousness through man's action. he is good. we will rise again only with his grace. it's interesting point that i realized.

.the silence.

i love the silence. it is real treat to have silence, especially during service. music aka silent music = playing something. the silence is wonderful. feel god's presence in the stillness of the air. feel his presence in the people who are also seeking for him. feel his presence in the wonderful of living and non-living things. i just love the silence.

.creation and creator.

this song business is really addictive. especially when the mac and motif are finally talking to each other. it's almost like a full time job. i wake up early and sleep equally as late. one thing to confess, i don't sleep enough since all the recording. in the pursuit of creation, i totally forgot creator and to take care of myself. weathered. sore throat.

This isn't the julie/julia project. This is a Madeleine/Mac/Motif/Music journey to worship god. These are the 2 songs re-done. enjoy.
