it seems to be a habit for me to wake up earlier when i don’t get enough sleep. rough nights aren’t very pleasant especially when the voice of my thoughts speak louder that the sound outside. i’m surprised i still have energy to last the day to do my things.

music. i grew up surrounded by it, it’s a part of my life. but while drowning in my thoughts i realised that there is something that stands in the way of reaching my full potential. i know that i have not reached that full potential of my musical inclination. i can reach a specific skill level, but can never go beyond as much as I want to. so i’m left a little confused. i don’t know what it is, maybe it’s fear? but what am i afraid of that’s stopping me from becoming better?

i’m usually drawn to musical vocals or writers who are unique. when my geek self embraced the release of Final Fantasy XII i was sorely disappointed at how boring it was, but when I listened to the soundtrack it was a different story. i have always admired Nobou Uematsu and he had chosen a singer/songwriter to perform the theme song “Kiss me Goodbye.” ever since then i had been drawn into the dramatic vocals and soulful piano playing of Angela Aki. her performances always leaves my heart fluttering because her music has spirit. i guess it’s those rough nights i listen to her and my thoughts quiet down for a bit. what i love about her songs is they all tell a story about her life, despite how she looks like someone who could be a teacher.

And who doesn’t like to see a musician who dresses comfortably and plays piano with Chucks? even during live performances.
