* strum * *strum*..

 nothing beats the sound of my guitar in the calm night with the surronding sounds of the crickets.. Well, our place is located in an area of the city where nature is still preserved.. hehe..

My kuya turned on  the computer and played "teardrops on my guitar" by Taylor Swift  in his playlist  and the intro went on..  *music* well, i know you guys know  how the intro goes on..  Honestly, since this came out last year,  I really liked to play it  in an acoustic kind of way..  I surely liked the  style it had which is very much playable with an acoustic guitar..  I then realized that it has been so long since it came out and I wanted to play this but I got very busy with life that I did not have any time to play my guitar for so long. And I wanted to get this song now!…

In the middle of my *kapa* mode.. hehe.. I realized something.. some PEOPLE seem to accuse mo of something.. ever time I share that I liked a song, those people say that I liked the song because I felt that feeling before or I can relate to it.. For so long I tried to explain that it is not the case and for so long I have tried to analyze..

I think it is because I, myself, am a performer.. And as a performer.. the starting element that makes me like a song is the idea that I know I can play it with my guitar. then I like songs from which I can feel the feeling and seriousness of the Singer while singing the song and delivering the proper message of the song. If some of my friends think that I can sing, that’s only an IF (hehe), it is because, I think, I sing seriously and I love singing. I put my place in the shoes of the singer and tries to feel the feeling that he/she felt while singing the song so that I can somehow deliver it with the right feelings..And I so wanted to make my audience feel the song the way I felt it.. And at times, songs like these are mostly songs like "teardrops on my guitar" wherein the feeling (might) be sad.. since people, for me, are more sensitive to these feelings of love and emotions or tragic experiences about love.

I feel the song while listening to it.. Not relating it to myself before listening to it.. I am a performer and I like to deliver the right (for me) message of the song to my audience not realizing that I sometimes feel the pain or happiness of the message of the song for myself.. I like performing for my shyan.. I Liked performers upon which I can feel their performance maybe that’s why I am doing it also.. I remember writing an article when I was in high school that my bestfriend was my guitar and I guess it is still true today..
