A Song Dedicated to Japan
Since nobody knows about this, I guess I would have to blog about it.
The story was as follows,
one night, a few weeks after the great earthquake in Japan in March 2011, my friend Glenn sent me a song he composed. Just the background, without the melody. I heard it, and something about the song clicked with me. I don't know what it was, but I guess some would call it the godsend moment or the moment when one gets a chance to take a quick glimpse into the mysterious and infinitely flowing world of MUSIC. The melody just poured out of me like that without forcing anything. I finished the melody in 5 minutes and lyrics in 10 minutes or so, while thinking about the Japan disaster victims. I had never finished a song so quickly.
Glenn later told me that his song was inspired by the disaster as well. And so was I! It was a very special experience.
So I recorded it. And I know this is the other thing I can do to help besides donating money. Therefore, I want to share it and hope more people can hear this, and if some hearts can be healed in the process, I think nothing will make me happier.
