Drowning in Music

recently i've fallen in love with the recording rooms they have on campus. i find myself locked in them when i'm not in class or doing coursework. i lose myself in the notes that escape me, smile as i immerse myself in the meanings of the lyrics, and listen for the harmonies i add in layers on the tracks.

i decided to go record myself when i realized that listening to myself on my phone to make adjustments wasn't great. there was a ton of distortion and i sounded nasally. my webcam is a piece of crap and would go out every other note. a friend told me to sing for them constantly, because they loved my loved my voice and due to the long distance nature of our relationship, i decided this was a great way. i've looked into more songs, covers and sheet music than i have all semester.

i also walk around campus with headphones and if its a vacant area, like an empty elevator, i sing :)

its uplifting.

look back at my last post, i was filled with so much spite at the time.
so much has happened since then.
my new routine is to sit outside of the engineering buildings and face the administration building every tuesday and thursday. i'm there for at least 30 mins and i just sit there, meditate, pray, think, relax. I love it.
