Music & Lyrics

I guess everyone needs a little vent from their daily lives and struggles and for me mine is two-fold music and writing. And both these things have one essential common denominator – words. Words are a potent weapon; can protect or demolish; can crush or give hope, can leave you cold or give warmth, can make you feel belonged or can alienate. For me when I write it is like everything inside of me is falling out for the world to see. I can shed my mask and let people see me. However, other than a few people who know me, I remain anonymous for most, hoping my writings leave a alone person some company, through my thoughts even if its for a few minutes. I write for reflection and to share experiences, mine, and of people around me.

My other healing mantra is music. I have loved music since childhod, it is like all the things I cannot speak out loud or string into words is told through that song. It feels like that song was written with me in mind to express when my words fail. When I listen to a song, I pay attention to the lyrics. Sometimes I wish I was a musician so I could write songs to give people strength, peace, calmness to give them someone to be their voice.

Word-ingly Yours
Faded Glory
