上帝有情,人生有望 (Day 6)

Want to share this song today.

We had practice today, and some bit of recording. We practice a medley which also consist of this song called 上帝有情,人生有望.

Lovely lyrics, and melody. Just to share. It touches me much.

人講這人生親像作眠夢
透早睏醒就攏無半項
雖然咱有心,世間人無情
只有看破成作空
阮講阮人生有主來疼愛
雖然散赤人嘛有希望
毋免嘴怨嘆,毋免心沈重
毋免心酸又目眶紅

(副歌)
若不是耶和華起造
起造的人就著磨空空
咱攏是上帝的產業
天頂有財寶永遠沒破孔
向主來打開心內的門窗
即時重頭生得到釋放
只要咱有心,上帝嘛有情
這世間有疼有希望
只要咱有心,上帝嘛有情
這世間有疼有希望
上帝有情、人生有望

Listen to it:

I Need To Be In Love


The hardest thing I've ever done is keep believing
There's someone in this crazy world for me
The way that people come and go through temporary lives
My chance could come and I might never know

I used to say "No promises, let's keep it simple"
But freedom only helps you say goodbye
It took a while for me to learn that nothing comes for free
The price I paid is high enough for me

* I know I need to be in love
I know I've wasted too much time
I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

+ So here I am with pockets full of good intentions
But none of them will comfort me tonight
I'm wide awake at 4 a.m. without a friend in sight
I'm hanging on a hope but I'm all right

Day 5

The end of 4th day, the beginning of 5th day.

Additional players to the band, Xinglong on the bass and Kairen on guitar. Thanks to them for helping.

I lost track of the songs we have completed or not complete. Completely confuse of situations and timeline. But thanks to Charis, all is being noted. We did 3rd and 4th day at T21. Alot of guitar and bass tracks are not complete. I think Charis and myself have 2 more songs to do, and a few more with her alone and a few with Siyang. Weiyang was really fast on his own basslines and guitar, and guitar fill ins. The pro that he is. Swiftness is his game.

I was reading the timetable. Can faint!

Energy running low. Kaisiong isnt around anymore. Charis is sick. Siyang is asleep beside me. I am blogging.

2 more days til sunday. Dont think can complete leh.....

I am scare to sing. For the first time in my life.

Day 2

Another busy day. Went back to CityMusic as we dunno how to operate the new recording device we bought the day before.

The first day is filled with challenges. Taught Charis some snare drum technique using the new snare drum. She seems to enjoy it :) The Tone Port dun seem to work. Its the first time we are handling all these, hence we are quite ignorant to the ways of recording machine. Never get to do any decent recordings, but we did segmentise the way we want to do the songs. Alot of singing was done, Charis and me really uses our voice. Initially abit awkward lah, but soon we are reminded we are doing this for God. Long day. Finish around eleven. Really tired. By the time I hit the bed its ard 1 plus.

Planned to meet Siyang at 10:30am, and I was suppose to morning call him at 9:30am, instead I overslept. By the time we met up its already coming to 12 noon. Spent some time at CityMusic and fortunately a staff, who uses a mac for his own recording, reintroduce Garage Band! Great! We are thankful man! Garage Band seems a whole lot easier. Siyang and I are learning new stuff.

Kena ERP without my cashcard in the IU. Sianz. Some more 50cent nia.

Picked Charis up at her place at three. Her sis said there's another girl in the group. she is referring to me. :-0 haha!!

Picked Kaisiong up at 4. He still look boy boy in the uniform lah. He look tired.

We recording two songs today, with Jieying joining us after 7pm. She helped out in the keyboard. She is surprsingly fast and effective in the keys. Really chuan after a few rounds of continuos recording. Singing is really hard. But I think Charis and myself are quite satisfied with what we recording towards the end. Kaisiong's really got long breath. I see he blow the flute, I cant help but feel very 'chuan'. He did really well. Esp the opening for Kan Wa Aey Chiu. It sounds like some other wind instrument.

Siyang had tution class at my place, during recording.

I took 2 polaroids: one Kai(little bro) and Charis(Da Jie), one Siyang(uncle) instructing. I would like to have many more to photo journalise the whole recording affair!

Really tired now. Gonna sleep now.

Tomorrow's another busy day. Stay tune.
