Passion Reignited

Wow! After the Darin Browne worship workshop, I suddenly feel so gung ho on playing the guitar. However, there's still like a gazillion things I wish I could learn. Sadly, I have to teach myself stuff most of the time. Worst still, I've been really wishing for a new guitar, a much better one than I have currently. Something that is stage-compatible. A Taylor would do nicely!

Forgive me if I seem to be up in the clouds a lil too much but I do sometimes imagine myself rocking out with a super-sounding electric guitar or belting out a really cool acoustic number on stage. I think every musician would surely reach that point of fantasizing. And yes, I would really like to sing too. Maybe like the falsetto singing of Ryan Cabrera, the shouting ala singing of Henry Seeley (one of Australia's dynamic youth worship leaders), or the smooth voice of Jack Johnson. Okay, dreaming again. As some of you know, I have difficulty reaching the high notes most of the time. It takes practice; or maybe I'm just not cut out for it. Oh and I would love to write songs. So far I have only wrote a kinda playful, silly song for this girl I liked (well, it was worth seeing her laugh, insultingly or not, haha!). Writing songs to impress chicks is not as easy as it looks!

I know, I know. It looks like I'm craving more for the attention wishing for all these. Very mundane. Well to tell you the truth, I did reach the stage where I got so bored of playing music. It really, really felt more like a duty and responsibilty to create music rather than doing it for the sake of corporate worship. Everything seemed like the same thing all over again. Clearly, I wasn't creative. That is why I now desire for new skills. Its either be excited or be dead bored. As a church musician where music is really only secondary, the ultimate satisfaction comes from seeing the entire congregation crying out to Him. Nothing beats that feeling when the "Wave" just flows through the hall. May my hands play nothing but sweet music in the spirit. May annointing and fresh skills fall upon me. I wanna reignite that passion to play music again!
