Two in the afternoon this day. I was looking for the most bla bla that would go along my mood and I thought of walking, exercising, dancing, and many more.
But I got my phone instead and started looking for songs on Spotify.
We're at my parents' house. Living with my parents currently are my two sisters with their spouses.
My sisters went somewhere while my parents were napping. I was with my two younger kids, their eldest went to reunite with his cousin.
I started to sing out loud with a little regard of how passersby might think of me and it felt great.
I sang like... "...turn around, every now and then I get a little bit nervous..."
Then I sang more songs, in tune or a little out of breath. I believe I sing songs not out of tune but I have no way of knowing the truth because no one told me the truth of my singing hahaha. It is self-declared that I do know how to sing.
Anyway, I sang and sang and sang until I felt satisfied. I may have sounded like someone drank but I wasn't.
I chose other songs like those of The Corrs, MLTR, Firehouse, and of country songs singers. I especially liked those with high notes even if I couldn't hit them without resorting to falsetto.
Well, truth was that I believe my voice wasn't soothing to those who might have heard me but the benefit of my afternoon trip was that I felt good as if I could then do other things like exercising.
My son tried to shut me out but I told him it was my medicine. He was kind not to refute me but was left wondering what I meant with what I just said.
I tried to shift to a song my son liked which is the 'Wellerman' and I was amused to see him acting like he was singing and dancing.
I bet he was enjoying as well like I do. I bet he knew how I felt even though earlier he was not understanding.
We sang more songs then we have to stop because one of our uncles came to get something.
I felt a great amount of satisfaction.
Truly, music has a great role in our lives whether we are the singers ourselves, just listeners or trying-hard performers.
I am a singer. (Don't laugh.) I listen to songs but most of the time, I perform. I bet my audience are always irritated hahahahaha.
My mistake was not doing something to preserve my voice. I mean, at least preserve anything that would have been of use to better singing. Although we really aren't making it a career to sing.
One New year's resolution maybe would be to curb foods that might affect the throat negatively. (Wow, no more spicy foods. Hmm...) But I think this will just be one promise to be broken. Hope not.
So... If in case you're like me, I, who do not know where to start at some point, try singing your heart out and see the difference!
