Singing

Voice still and small,
deep inside all,
I hear you call, singing.
In storm and rain,
sorrow and pain,
still you remain singing.
Calming my fears,
quenching my tears,
through all the years, singing.

-Words and music by John Corrado



Singing is good for me. It gets my blood moving, allows me to use my voice at full volume (which is LOUD), and reminds me to "play well with others". Although I am untrained and not extremely skilled at it, I feel better when I participate in creating music.

This week we recorded the English version of a song called "Make a Forest", which will be used for the G8 Summit in Hokkaido this summer. A fun challenge! Nick helped write the English lyrics for the song. Two local teachers did an amazing job playing piano and guitar. I hope the end result is good enough for the wide exposure that it is slated to have!
