Making Music

The chorale batch of 2009 dropped by my place today to check out my new audio toys.

Here’s the product of a few hours work, it’s a little rough but we’re getting there :P

Fernweh and Wanderlust

My penchant for travel was cultivated at an early age. In the years between my second birthday and the turn of the century, I went on no less than ten jaunts beyond our shores. Following that initial period of furious adventuring, my love was further reinforced in my youth with three trips to the mesmerising European continent.

Why the sudden recollection you might ask? Well, facebook has bombarded me in recent weeks with photographs of friends and acquaintances on the maiden jaunts overseas, exploring their new campuses and hostels: their homes for the foreseeable future. It made me realise what folly accepting my offer to read Law at the National University of Singapore would be.

Sure it’s a very respectable degree from an institution of standard (arguably). However am I really willing to sacrifice the opportunity to see the world that an overseas education would provide? After receiving the offer from NUS, I was actually under that very impression. Oh how wrong I was.

Coldplay – The Scientist

Come up to meet you, tell you I’m sorry
You don’t know how lovely you are

I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I’ve set you apart

Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh, let’s go back to the start

Running in circles
Coming up tails
Heads on the science apart

Nobody said it was easy
It’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing
At numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart

Questions of science
Science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart

Oh tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start

Running in circles
Chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh, it’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard

I’m going back to the start

Oh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ah ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oh ooh ooh ooh ooh
