I got this email from a friend speaking in excitement about their opportunity to possibly go to a recording studio in the near future. They were talking of a free recording studio sitting with friends who were near professional instrumentalists and good background vocals…
and green slipped in
It was odd how excited I was for my friend…. and yet how over-my-head it all felt.
It’s funny how intimidating it felt to be asked if I would help with some of the building blocks…
and I realised that I’m not talented enough to make anything but plain music.
I’ve been dreaming….
banging out Truth on a church piano late at night
I can’t even play the piano, but something arose within me that made me think just maybe I could try.
And I sing the same few songs over and over….
plaguing my neighbor’s ears…
because it’s what God gave me…
what He’s taught me…
And I’ve been dreaming in the car…
But I really don’t think I have much to offer.
I really can honestly tell you, cyberworld, that there are 5 million other people out there that have better voices, greater ranges, and more skills than this twenty-something wanna-be dreamer.
And it was quite scary to admit the reality as the type came before me that I just don’t have that skill level…
that’s just way out of my league.
(sigh)
but plain is eeriely honest…I like it
