Music is the language of us all

I sing in my bathroom. That's the most 'musician' I can get. Maybe it's the small confined space that makes me sound better than in public, but it's also the location I feel the most comfortable. The crew (actually only Asami) make me feel disabled about my inability to produce music.

Being musicians, Lionel, Kevin and Asami usually engage in music conversations. They have quite concentrated dialogues on singing in falsetto, contralto and chest voices. Mostly, I never contribute to those conversations and even if I did, who listens to the non musician anyway? They get excited about Midi keyboards, wave files, and have even taught me how to build my own microphone pop screen (something I am OBVIOUSLY going to construct very soon). So sometimes, I find myself zoning out of those chats. What? No sorry, I just lied. I always pay attention to everything they say. To the point, I'm the only non-musician in the group. But guess what, that's why I stand out.

They have not realized this yet but they actually NEED me to be a non musician. Who else is going to go to all their gigs and still tell them they are awesome, although they call themselves pitchy. Who else is still going to think how sensational they are on stage, although they screwed up a song. Who else is going to appreciate all their music and not worry about things like sibilance. Who else is going to boast about how cool she is to have such talented friends. The secret is out. The real reason I'm not a musician is because Lionel, Kevin and Asami need me to be who I am.

  7. i didnt realise that people would notice but yes i was annoyed while writing this post hahah. not because i had to write it or i'm jealous that lionel, kevin and asami have talents i dont have (well maybe a litte :p ) but because of something that happened earlier that day.

    i was writing this at the same time while talking about the earlier events so you can see the mood change from the first to the last paragraph. wow i didnt realise that my feelings could seep through to my writing and people would actually notice it haha. good job people. thanks for your comments!
