What would your life be like without music?

Music is at the heart of a soul.

I have been greatly blessed to have music pour out into original songs I have composed. This has been specially in times of trial and sufferings.

During my days as a teenager, I remember composing a song . I thought that was the first and the last, in many years

I also experienced music dying within me when I had dark days. There was not a hint of even a musical note.

However music returned into my life . I enjoy it and thrive specially during times of worship .

I was diagnosed with cancer a couple of years ago . It was during this time that I was inspired to compose songs. They just flowed out .

These are all devotional songs and dedicated to God . Till date I have composed 15 songs .

A friend has very kindly agreed to write this into sheet music .

Besides devotional music I also like to listen to slow rock and pop music .

The older songs bring back memories. I have ventured to listen to the latest music. However these often have more sound effects rather than pure instrumental notes . The lyrics of rap music are very repetitive, I really don’t understand them .

I think there is a variety of music for every occasion ….. joyous ones at the celebrations, love songs , then the quiet times and music that serves as the background of a movie . There is music to march to and even songs to cheer sports teams . I like the song dedicated to the Liverpool football team ? It’s title is ‘You’ll never walk alone ‘

Have you heard the song of birds?

When you go into the countryside, and be still ; be sure that you will hear the various calls of birds in the air …….they could be musical or raucous.

Likewise music we compose or listen to , have a wide range. Classical music is certainly different, and I think I will need to refine my tuning to it .

What would life be without music ?

Have you listened to the silence ?

It’s only then that you will hear the Holy One , whisper into your heart .,,,and inspires you !
