I'll make it public now - I can't carry a tune!
Being totally tone-deaf, has given me an opportunity to cautiously despise all the musical activities I've ever had to participated in. And that's probably another reason (read out: excuse) not to become a Christian..ever. I've seen it! Oh jeah, I've been in the church..few times..and oh my - do they sing a lot or what!
Once upon a time I joined a choir..I'll never forget it..I thought that this is it! That's going to be my big breakthrough! I'll be famous! I'll be an artist! And after a week I was more than politely asked not to come any more..
Any way...what I would like to say after this brief introduction slash flashback to my so very sanguine childhood - just because I can not carry a tune and just because I can not replicate any tune, rhythm or not even a piece from a children's song, doesn't mean I can't sing!
I can sing.
I just don't fit in the same standards with Mahalia Jackson..or ..Rihanna.nor will I ever be another Elvis. I've got my own standards. And I've got my own rhythm. And all my songs are special..partly because I can't replicate even my own songs..So there will never be identical masterpieces.
But ..people like me.. and I believe that many others out there in the bleak, cold and unfair world should not be dispirited by those who can't see the beauty in our tunes..in our exertions to create something magical..to our ears..
I love to hum away..I love to dance.. and who cares that I do it in my own way..in my own rhythm..
