Music Composition

 
Music Composition has been my recent interest, and now i truly understand how tedious the entire composition
flow. There is indeed alot of compositional techniques that one needs to understand to suits them. Its not just
about banging ur piano trying to get some tune or jamming ur guitar hoping to get some chords to sync. Its
all about the flow.. having the right notation, arrangement and lyrics to suit it. And u can never compose anything
in a stressful situation. Maybe some people force themselve in that manner. A quiet environment is all u need to start
thinking and working on it.
 
I did some research on Hans Keller and his side of music composition. An excellent composer and lyrics. Just check out
the work Hans has done and you be amaze. I work on two tracks throughout my available time and finally manage to
compile them into one. Using only 4chords and running on notes which sync with the chords i was able to come out
with an interesting melody. Now the most important thing about creating a track is that music composition needs
to come first then only lyrcis writing. If you work on the reverse its much more harder. Once ur lyrics are done
its time for u to start talking to an arranger. The composer can also help u in the arranging trying to get ur track
in order. Next process get into a studio and start bringing all of it together. You could also build ur own home
studio if you want to. Just get online and start surfing get all the details u need to know about setting ur own home
studio.
 
If you have passion into music, why dont u take that step forward in learning ur favourite instrument and start
composing tracks. Music is food to my soul

Inspire your way to success

Each day we face challenges,learn and discover new things
Only some of us are willing to understand our own weakness
and face it that there is room for improvement. Some of us try
to look at other's weakness and try to correct them.
 
To inspire your way to success you have to first understand
yourself, ur talent, ur capability and at the same time willing
to go to all extend to accomplish something. Never say u have
defeated no matter how many challenges u been fighting out there.
 
Always leave room for improvement, you must be humble and
willing to compromise. There are various of shortcuts in life,
get rich quick scheme, its all about u willing to take them.
You never learn from shortcuts only hardwork, persistence,
thinking outside the box will bring you to new level of grounds
of success.
 
Learn to inspire your way to success. Nothing comes easy.. every drop of sweat,
every ache u feel and every pain that aches ur heart in ur
way up will turn into success in a day to come. Never rush
for success. Patience is the key and self-improvement is
the way.
 
If u look at all the most successful people on our planet
dont look at his success but learn from the trial and errors
he face which getting there.

Crying Souls

 

War in the east side has change its course
Bringing hurricane & pain to innocent lifes
Winter awaits the season changes
Snowflakes & breeze another new life.

Many transformation has taken place
We ignore the weak, we praise the rich
The unfair world.. the greed of power
Lifes we treasure.. memories we forget

The calling of peace is heard from a distance
The cry of pain is ignored by many
How fair is the world today
For we fight on little substance.

Racial violence happens everywhere
Peace march has brought no cure
All we shout..little is heard
Super-power is not the answer.

Crying souls.. poison minds
Justice we scream.. rules we ammend
Trust we keep, broken by others
Unshape destiny we try to create

Peace - Dev Emmanuel

Dancers of the Courtship

 

Misty lanes and scattered stones
Blinded my vision to get home.
I hold strong to my cross of faith
To give me strength, to give me will.

Fear not the darkness, my heart tells me
For Jesus my saviour, is with me
Fear less the cry of the wind, my mind speaks
For nothing can stop my mission home.

I reach the crossroads of nowhere
Not knowing which path to take
I kneel in silence and spoke to God
For he is my reason i m here.

God speaks in mysteries ways
He told my heart not to fear
He gave me strenght to move ahead
For he is with me along the way.

Damn flue!!

This is a good one. True Story. Jacksonville P. D.


A man went to a party and had too much to drink.  His friends plead with
him to let them take him home.  He said no -- he lives only a mile away.

About five blocks from the party, the police pulled him over for weaving and
asked him to get out of the car and walk the line. Just as he started, the
police radio blared out a notice of a robbery taking place in a house just a
block away.  The police told the party animal to stay put, they will be
right back and they hopped a fence and ran down the street to the robbery.

The fellow waited and waited and finally decided to drive home.  When he got
there, he told his wife he was going to bed, and to tell anyone who might
come looking for him that he has the flu and has been in bed all day.

A few hours later the police knocked on the door.  They asked if Mr. Joe was
there and his wife said yes. They asked to see him and she replied that he
was in bed with the flu and had been so all day.  

The police had his driver's license.  They asked to see his car and she
asked why.  They insisted on seeing his car, so she took them to the garage.


When she opened the door, there sitting in the garage was the police car
with all its lights still flashing.

True story, told by the driver at his first AA meeting
