Another Dream To Reach For
I posted a poem at fanstory.com and I got a good review from another member who is also a music composer. As I gathered from her profile, she started attending music composition in a school at the age of 46 and started her career from there. I don't intend to compose music myself being always off-key when singing but at least I can try to write some lyrics for my son Archie to start with. He won the song composition contest, first prize, in their school during college at Ateneo, with Jose Mari Chan, a leading Filipino composer as one of the judges. Archie can give melody to the lyrics I write and if fate is on our side, he can try to sing it at Party Avenue, a bar near Timog where he performs solo every Wednesday. So for two nights I wrote lyrics for thirteen songs without sleep. I showed it to him and he liked the themes of two of them but he says that I have to improve on the structure. He advised that I listen more to music to have the feel of it. I have not been listening to music for sometime now. It is not yet too late to start. Well another dream for a willing heart.
