So this week has been a bit tricky. Have had some real low points but somehow turned it round. Some persistent friends have helped enormously and so last night it culminated in the writing of a song.
Now I'm not a stranger to writing songs; in my teenage years I was going to be an international superstar. No actually I don't think my dreams were ever that grand. But I wanted to write and perform my own songs. And I wrote plenty.
Looking back, some of them were pretty rubbish but there are a few that I still like. Performing has never really been a favourite thing of mine; well thinking about that, I'm happier performing my own stuff as I guess nobody knows if you go wrong. Or playing bass where you can hide at the back and look mean and moody. But the performance side of my Music A'Level and piano grades was where I fell down.
I went through a spell of writing some worship songs and we actually sang one of my compositions at a youth service about 27 years ago. It remains one of my favourites. In more recent years I've tried to write more but it's not happened. It's sounded trite, I wasn't inspired, just didn't happen.
Until last night. I appreciate that many of my readers are not Christians but I'm just putting it out there as it's part of who I am. Obviously this is a rough recording and it's not perfect but that's the point.
I hope you enjoy it.
Mrs T that was so beautiful. You are super talented-it's a yes from me x x sPam x x
