i turn away when you look me in the eye, and hesitate when you ask me if i'm alright...

beautiful day... perhaps would be a bit better if it was warmer... yet spring shall come :)

haha, how many things that i say have a double meaning... i'm not meaning a dirty one... but yeah.

my new testament prof played 'get back up' by tobymac at the beginning of class.
odd coincidence.
or was it a coincidence?
i know he reads my response cards, i'm willing to bet there's a reason he played that instead of what he was planning on playing.
"you turned away when i looked you in the eye, and hesitated when i asked you if you're alright. seems like you're fightin' for your life, but why, oh why. wide awake in the middle of your nightmare, you saw it comin' but it hit you out of nowhere, and there's always scars when you fall that far..."
"you may be knocked down but not out forever"
true song.

i think i may go practice my vocal pieces more... i have a killer run of two-pages worth of melismas. other than that there's only one or two measures of that song i have to work on... i worked on the shorter melismas already...
and the other song i have to work on the notes because while i know the melody well when you put it with the accompaniment it sounds off, it's put together in an odd way...
ha.
the lyrics.

"A poet sang, so light of heart was he,
a song that thrilled with joy in ev'ry word.
it quiver'd with ecstatic melody;
it laughed as sunhine laughs upon the sea;
i caught a measure from each lilting bird;

But, though the song rang out exultantly,
the world passed by, with heavy step and loud,
none heeding,
save that parted from the crowd, two lovers heard.

There fell a day when sudden sorrow smote the poet's life.
unheralded it came,
blotting the sun-touch'd page where-on he wrote his golden song.
Ah then, from all from all remote,
he sang the grief that had nor hope nor name
in God's ear only,
in God's ear only;

But one sobbing note,
reached the world's heart,
and swiftly, swiftly,
in the wake of bitterness and passion and heartbreak,
there followed fame,
one sobbing note reached the world's heart,
there followed fame and swiftly, swiftly
there followed fame.'
