ok, this is probably going to sound lame.
but last night me and some friends had a quiet night, and one of them brought over their whole wii rockstar set up- the one with the microphone, drum kit, and guitar. I’ve been contemplating the idea of singing in a band, and know that I can sing, but just have been terrified of that first step, because I wasn’t sure how I’d handle the act of singing live, improvising etc. I’ve never even done karaoke.
Last night, when it came to me singing, I was completely terrified, and not sure if the notes would come out of my mouth until the first word, and then it just came. I feel high. It was awesome. Yes, I made mistakes, and had bits where I was off key, but that was mainly because I was unfamiliar with some of the songs. But on the whole, it was incredible. I feel like a part of myself has been shown to me. Now I know that singing is one more thing that really does nourish my soul. (Which sounds lame and hippy. I’ll be singing fairly hard, rocky music. No praising or glorying. But that’s what makes me most happy. )
Ah, wonderful. I feel light.
