Today in choir we mixed it up again while singing Lo, How a Rose, and I stood next to this guy named Andrew. After singing a song while standing next to eachother for the first time, he turned to me and said "Wow, you have a really nice singing voice."

It was really nice to hear that. It makes me feel like my plans for the future aren't unreachable. I could possibly do it. I don't sound like a dog howling at the moon... people actually think I have a nice singing voice. That makes everything worthwhile.

It's funny how one phrase can change a person's whole day. :)

I'm listening to a really good recording of Lux Aurumque right now... I've been listening to it on repeat for about 30 minutes. Everytime I hear that song it just blows me away. It's so amazing. Just... all the notes meshing together like they do. It makes me feel super comfortable for some reason. Makes me happy to be just me... a person who can enjoy something like that.

Listening to it, I get this vision of being under water, seeing the blue of the ocean and the light from above mix together... I'm completely invisible to the world going on around me... the most beautiful fish passing by, moving slowly. My long hair floating around me... my whole body being completely weightless, and I'm just floating near the bottom. The sand glittering as the sun hits it... creating an eerie effect that's pleasing to see.

Very similiar to what this picture looks like

I love how I have such a deep connection with music....

listen to Lux Aurumque here. It's the same version I'm listening to.
