January 14 Music CompositionMusic 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

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 Great Quotes...Abraham Lincoln: -

Leonardo da Vinci:-
Strive to preserve your health; and in this you will the better succeed
in proportion as you keep clear of the physicians. a poem from a friendYou came down to Earth from the clouds of a love I could only imagine and you bring to life my tired heart which beated for who didn't exist yet... I wrote letters to a gal with no name I dreamt of giving a face to my hopes and I clinged to a virtual life which soon died when I detached the plug and covered myself with a coat of loneliness... Perhaps are you an angel son of heaven? It has never happened to me to succumb in this way, to feel undefended like a newborn baby and need looks and words coming from your face and your mouth! Perhaps have you made a strange witchcraft to me? I look inside my heart and now I can understand... many Kilometers divide our bodies, but our thoughts are so close to each other that they take by hand and set out to that magic place called REAL LOVE April 09 tuesdays with Morrie - Mitch Albom i decided to read a book today and it was titled 'Tuesday with Morrie' by Mitch Albom. It talks about a professor and a student. Morries was the professor who
was suffering from ALS illness and had little time left. So he decided to have
a living funeral by gathering all his friends and getting them to pay their respect
as if he was dead. He wanted to know what people had to say about him.
Every Tuesday his student visited him to learn about what he had to say
before his last final days. This is truly a great book because it tell you about
life through a lense of a dying professor, of what we are going through and
how busy we can get sometimes that we often ignore the precious things around
us. Our family, our friends.. cause we busy trying to earn as much as possible
to change our lifestyle to have status to be someone others adore. Then
suddenly something hits us and we down with nothing.
Its time for us to look back, our childhood years.. our wonderful teen years
..our first kiss that we got from someone. Where has all the wonderful years
gone. We cant bring it back.. we cant change any of it. But what we can do
is make some changes today. Worry not the future cause it will come and u
can't stop it. Make some changes today.. start living! and with God's grace
good things will come to good people.
Life and faith is two different things, but we need it both to move on.
One of my close friend said ''Good faith keeps us alive'' .It so right.
We need faith to keeps us strong. to leave us hope.. to move forward.
We need faith and with good faith good things will come.
to all my christian friends, may this season of lent bring a difference
and meaningful moments in your life. Patience keeps us strong.
Dev Emmanuel 'April 2006 March 22 R.Kelly - You saved meI was riding in my car one day in the express lane rollin on the freeway and suddenly the phone rings then I reached down beside me then i look on the floor felt on the backseat see I was drinking while I was driving never thinking bout what I was doing I turned around and before i knew it here comes this truck now Doctor said don't think he gonna make it family said make the funeral arrangements unplugg the machine he's gone now then told my wife to be strong now then a small voice said until me if you promise to stop drinking I surrenered on that day now for ten year's i've been straight You saved me 4x Gave me a second chance You saved me 3x You saved me Now i've been sitting in this chair waiting on the phone to ring praying up to god that someone will call me with a job opening cause it's been so hard for me month to month struggling to eat but still there was no answer I stop beleiving in his word and got so mad at him and when somebody said god's good i just laugh at 'em But in the nick of time his blessing rain on me by his grace the phone ring a lady said were hiring and that's when I knew You saved me 4x Now i was 18 out there on the block selling drugs with a gun at my waist and for people I had no love see the streets was my home family and friends were all gone had no one to trust and deep inside i was all alone and a deal went bad one day and it was enough to pause me I was shot 4 times and before i knew it I was on my knees Blood pushin out my body my heart's beating faster don't know what i'm gonna do I don't think i'm gonna last then I begain to flash back on the things I done in my past then I heard a small voice that said I'll give you peace if you beleive I accepeted christ that day halijuah now i'm free You saved me 4x I was in the asile of the grocery store with a pain in my chest and I'm wondering where did it come from(I got tested) and the results came back and the doctor said i'm sorry but u got cancer I could not beleive it so I call my mama to calm my nerves (mama) she got down on her knees (mama) she said a prayer for me (mama) just keep on thinking Jesus (mama) he'll give you what you need (thank you Jesus) now that was five years ago I don't have that pain no more Doc said you can go home cause all that cancer's gone You saved me 4x You saved me(said you saved me) You saved me(but you saved me) You saved me saaaved me Gave me a second chance)second chance) Halijuah saved me Saved me saved me wooooooh You saved me You gave me it was by grace You saved me I'm so thankful that You looked down on me saw me standing there I was at the end of my rope no where to go and you gave me No where to go (and you saved me) I was down and out 2 I was doing drugs 2 I was running the streets 2 never felt love I was wilding out You saved me You steped in ooh save me You saved me March 04 SamSweet September brought us rain Soak the soil, flooded the corn field How sweet, if i could forget them all For what remain was dirt and trail Oh frickle fortune, my heart cried out Sam our dog was lying in the yard his pulse was weak, his spirit was low, God has a plan i must not allow The rain has stop, Sam has a grave He left us all without a word or two My soul died when i paid my respect Living had no meaning to me anymore. I prayed each night for God to listen To feel my pain, to heal my soul But Alas! the time has come For me to see what need to be seen. Dev Emmanuel, 25th Feb.2005 PerhapsDawn has captured the eastside Bringing owls into the cold A trail of pain and trouble fills our mind and soul Perhaps time will show us patience To make us strong, to show us love For all is lost, we cant gain back Bitter memories we try to forget Natural disaster kills innocent souls Homeless children, crying mother Perhaps God had a mission to bring us closer no matter what race. Whats wrong now i ask myself For many people live in the dark Perhaps my answer are just doubts Blinded by my confuse mind. The smell of pain filled the air Fields of bodies everywhere Why is hatred a main division When God has taught us to love others Many lives many hopes Has gone to pure waste Perhaps someday we will learn to change And walk hand to hand in unity. Dev Emmanuel 23/02 Mermaiden of goldLike a rose in full bloom never to die, Like a dew upon the morning grass, Like a small twinkling start in the huge dark sky, The immortal gal crossed my path.. So very kind was fate to me, To bless this girl I longed to meet, Young, simple,sweet was she, A slave of love i was indeed. As rivers flows and plants starts to grow My love for her starts to grow, Love as a seed that i have sown as time went by, The nector of her love, my labour must reap. But alas! very much to my dismay, My heart in pain and tormet lay, Formly love uncrequited to this very day, To path of sorrow I was led away. No words of mine could possibly express How afflicated I was in torerable pain She has hated me..the ate was cast, Oh fickle fortune,my heart cried long in vain. Loud was my cry over this unattainable treasure, Which was taken by the wave of the sea of love, To clamour a beauty so near and yet so far, I would rather die than live to see, My love abated, it would never be. Alas the day I ever was born To live in this world so full of scorn But the girl I used to love brimful with desire The beautiful girl, my mermaiden of gold. -Dev Emmanuel Oct 96 |
