One of the singer-songwriters I like is Jim Brickman. You could just imagine how glad I am to stumble upon a music video on where else but youtube, of one of the songs he beautifully wrote.
I believe God is reminding me of these simple things.
This, I am dedicating to the 2 most important people in my life : my wife Tina and our son, Gabby!
Now, kindly do me yourself a favor to brighten up your mood -click the video and sing along loudly, OK?
Yesterday, the world just lost one of its greatest music icons.
I arrived at my work place yesterday morning and I was clueless about the news. I only heard about MJ’s demise from our nurse-reviewees while they’re googling the issue on-line trying to figure out the cause. My world stopped for few seconds while I was trying to absorb what I heard. Just like one of his songs, he’s gone too soon…
I may not be a fan of him but I honestly admit that I like his music and literally grew up with his songs. I may not understand his oddities eccentricities on how he lived his life but I cannot deny the fact that I am so impressed with how he moved people’s lives across all ages and colors.
His music is timeless and influential. Among the songs he recorded, Heal the World is one of those that rendered great social impact. And for the countless chart topping hits he gave us, I just can’t stop loving you is one of my favorites.
And his rock with you song never fails to stimulate me.
My family and closest friends and ofcourse my lovely wife know me by heart that my mood swings are erratic. I don’t know what got into me now that I’m having few minutes of sentimental mood and eventually thought of posting one of my old-time-favorite love songs and it’s not Careless Whispher, LOL. Perhaps it’s because of the weather. The rain began to pour here in our place and I just love the drizzle. Some people say it’s being pessimistic to like the rain but to each his own. I usually feel inspired, motivated, recharged (mushy!LOL) when it rains (but not, ofcourse when there’s storm).
My father-in-law in Missouri also likes this song so much. I fell in love with the song too even without watching the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s where it was used decades ago. I’d like to find time one day to see it.
One of my frustrations is to learn how to play the violin or cello. I’d like to learn either of them and play with an orchestra in a stage. Violin for me is so romantic. I don’t know, some people like guitars, drums or for one of my colleagues, he and his dad play trumpets, but I like strings of violin. I wish I could also find time in the soonest future to learn how to play it.
You can just imagine how smiley I was when I stumble upon this video on youtube of a three-piece orchestra, young Asian musicians at that, playing one of my favorite love songs on my favorite string instruments on a rainy day!
