It is so amazing how music can bring beauty to everyone’s life. It can also bring joy to everyone’s heart. The music of your lifetime brings euphoria to the world.
I am not a music partisan. Yes, I sing songs and I listen to music. But not to the point of desperation to get to know the latest hits
on itunes, etc.
I just love music the way it captures my
heart. May it be old or new, as long as it has a
good melody and the message is not perverted at all.
‘Beauty from Pain’ is one of the hit
singles by Superchick band. It was released last July 2006. This song is almost a decade old but it
remained in my heart from the moment I first listened to it.
I’m not an avid fan of this band but this
song completely entangled me. It depicts the tale of every being. It maybe painful (according to the song) …
but there’s always a promising word after the pain… it is BEAUTY!
Pain is inevitable. Hopes and dreams seem to drive away when pain strikes you. It is also the time when you find that life and its beauty fades
away. And all you can see is darkness… hovering around you.
The darkness is oftentimes blinding, but life becomes at stake when
you let the shadow of your pain get behind you.
You cannot do anything if you keep dwelling on it.
So maybe you just have to stand wherever you are and get back up. It’s never too late to start all over again. Consider your dreams… your future. I remembered my friend once told
me, “It’s not easy to get to
your dreams. It’s a lot of process…” And it
takes a lot of brokenness before you will finally realize that there’s still light.
And when you use that light to shine the brightest, darkness can no
longer stand it. That will be the time when you need to push through the pain and the
reality. All you have to do is to thrust yourself to the everlasting plan set
before you.
So that someday, when you look back… you’ll realize the significance
of every tear that has been shed… the beauty of every cut…which all resulted
into a better YOU.
The most amazing thing about music is that
they can summon emotions even if there are no words or even if the words are
all Greek to the listener.
I remember what my student who is a
musician in ToyamaJapan once told me.
He said that music is the best
"language" when we will talk to aliens.
In
some points, I agree.
The songs Behti Sawa Sa Tha Woh,
Give Me Some Sunshine, Zoobi Doobi Doobi
and All Izz Well are all giving me very a vehement good feeling inside.
I am sure this is largely because I once
googled the translations of the songs, watched the music video and love the
Bollywood movie The Three Idiots.
The most striking songs I've heard wherein
I really cried even if I didn't know the meaning of the songs but somehow felt
that the performers were really singing a sad song were of Sung-Bong Choi and
Uudam's.
Sung-Bong Choi auditioned for Korea's Got Talent in 2011 and Uudam auditioned
for China's
Got Talent also in 2011.
These boys were culled not only because of
their tear-jerking experiences in life but also because of their great talent
that I feel so blessed of hearing ( yeah, even just on youtube!).
Uudam and Sung-Boi Choi are very special
for me because I really cried even if I didn't knew what they were singing!
Uudam was singing " Mother in a
Dream" and it moved me so much that I cried so hard after seeing and
realizing what he was singing.
It's amazing! I never thought I could be as
dramatic as that! Yeah, I hugged my mother after seeing the video!
Today, I've been listening to All Izz Well
and Behti Sawa Sa Tha Woh.
I hope I can set my foot to India
someday.
I must really become a University Professor
to afford that!
I can imagine a beautiful India whenever I listen to Behti
Sawa Sa Tha Woh.
I can imagine things will be just fine
whenever I listen to All Izz Well again.
When I was still young I always daydreamed
of traveling abroad, riding an airplane, touching the snow, experiencing
different seasons and seeing different kinds of people.
And that dream came true…
The first country that I visited was the
“Land of the Rising Sun”, Japan.
The place was awesome!
And I finally touched the snow in this
country and experienced the autumn and spring seasons that we don’t have in our
country.
One thing I like in Japan is their food.
Hmmm.., about their language... it’s
difficult! But then again, I learned some words.
Next country was Hong
Kong…
One word I can describe Hong
Kong is “expensive”.
Visiting Hong Kong Disneyland for the first
time was great, I felt a like a child again.
The third country was Thailand.
I really didn’t like the weather in Thailand because it has the same weather in the Philippines,
its “hot” but I liked their massage, it’s very relaxing.
And I traveled to Thailand for three times because
it’s cheap.
The fourth country was Vietnam.
When I traveled to Vietnam, it was exciting
and fun because they couldn’t speak English I only used a sign language for
them to understand me.
Traveling is one of my hobbies; I can learn
different culture, language and learn to associate certain places with certain
people.
