I got an interestingly poignant sms this morning.. 4am to be exact.
it was from BW.
his text went:
for a long time, 724 (BW's BRO) was in a catatonic state due to complications after GBS. That song he was mentioning was a song I recently composed. It was about giving oneself to someone openly and willingly accept said person in life as someone you can never live without.
BW upon hearing it yesterday, decided he should make the song a bit more "attuned" and applicable to his life story. That we did, I made corrections to some of the lyrics and then before I knew it, I was already setting up the recording studio where BW did the recording instantly. I edited the voice and did some fine tunings here and there (BW never needed major finetunings, he was born with harmonics inside his system).
The end result, I saved over to a CD, plus another file I converted so he can make it as his personal cellphone ringtone. He listened to it over and over. He must've liked it a whole lot.
I called BW up when i finally woke this morning and he said 724 responded to the song. Egads. That is surely some good sign. BW chided me to keep on making new songs, because 724 responded to it, and so it could potentially hasten the arrival of a miracle they've been long praying for.
I said i'll probably drum up two songs by the end of the week, one in the vernacular and the other probably a hopeful praise song with no affiliation to any divine providence in particular.
I don't know... 3rd-You was right I guess.. The "artsy-creative" me must be let loose. If but to.. oh well.
if you'd like to listen to the "edited BW version" here's a sample... the "edited" lyrics are as follows (formerly it was intended to be sung to a girl..but then again, as composer, it's okay to have to edit lines just so a dear friend can make use of it..heck wot are friends for?)
"Simply..My Life" Music and Words by: Lostwansoul Sung by: The Beautiful Whale (BW) I. Each waking day I see A bundle of love beside me We're different folks with different strokes Together made us the best of both
II. He may not be perfect But to me he's simply the best He may not be a star, I know But he's the light of my million morns
Chorus
He's the only man in my life Whom I'm blessed to call just "MINE" He's been to places far and wide but in my heart he'll stay beside..
He's the only man in my life Who filled my days with endless smiles He's on top of whatever he does But to me he's simply, "My Life.."
III.
He's like a typhoon in restraints But no one compares to the way he cares Though he can be silly at times But that's what being "him" is about..
Repeat II. Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
And when i close my eyes each night I long for the sunrise Knowing he'll be right beside.. My man...My Life....
Repeat Chorus
Fade: But to me he's simply, the love of my life..

As my background song (my most favorite song of all time!) goes, "In troubled times come to me for shelter, I'll be running to be with you and...I'm willing to make that deal Is there a chance to carry on? If they could feel the way I feel....They would see the reason Why I'm talking to you...Don't let behind the reasons why we've come this far...You'll feel the pride of what we are..Two Rivers run to see and catch your falling stars.."
I made this blog at the LOWEST point in my life--when Dad passed away. After that, I thought moving on would be to focus on other things, on other endeavors. Then after some incident transpired lately, I suddenly recall I had a blog somewhere and so i dug this up.. tried to keep busy again and still am wallowing in the memories of all things disastrous to bear. Perhaps, this will in fact provide a necessary sanctuary. That's what this is really..a sanctuary of thoughts.. I do aim to make this a hideaway of my feelings and well my lost art of photography. Maybe through them, I'd let the soul wander for as long as it could traverse the vestibules of life..
