Reliance

Last night me, puay, simon, daixuan and huiyang headed over to simon's place to attempt to record some songs for the easter short film. We were supposed to meet at 1830 hrs, but guess what, we met at 2030 hrs coz simon was held back really late in camp. By the time we reached simon's place, settled down, waited for the rough cut of the easter short film to be downloaded, it was alr 2130 hrs! But we really thank God that we still managed to write the most important song for the short film - a song abt forgiveness. And I really learnt alot from that recording session!

To write a good song when you're just an average guitar player, you'll need,
1. A keyboardist (Huiyang)
2. A lyricists and melody composer (Puaylin)
3. A good place to record (Simon's place)
4. Recording equipments (Simon)
5. An awesome singer to bring out the song (Daixuan)
6. A sustain pedal for the keyboard (apparently simon didn't have it so we'll have record the proper one another day haha)

And I tell you, the song was literally given by God. I was sitting on the shuttle bus to camp yesterday morning as usual, had a pretty rough night trying to compose songs(and nothing came out). But I guess I was relying too much on my own efforts, my own music knowledge, my own skills, and it was all abt myself last night. I told God on the bus like as if talking to a friend sitting beside me that I really need Your help. Then help came, the chords were ringing in my head, everything was so clear, I knew exactly where to play what to play. I picked up the guitar immediately after I reached office, everything fell into place like how amino acids will form up in line to produce proteins. The feeling was good, because God is really good.

And I thank God for people like puay, yang, simon and dx who were there to wrap up the song so perfectly. YAY!

More songs tonight. Jiayi's bday. Prac for svc. Chords. Blah blah. I'm gonna rely on God.
