Thomas Newman Makes Me Cry


It's been 4 weeks almost 5.. Time slips away so fast. Today I woke up with the soundtrack of my life playing in my head, and decided to write about it. I find it awe inspiring how a song without words only the dynamics and simpleness of notes strung on a page can move in big ways. Although I do understand how these dynamics work, and the specific ways into achieving this goal I never loose my awe of this great wonder. It's amazing how a song can move you in such ways, can feel what you are feeling. I truly think specifically that movie scores are greatly underrated and are not given enough credit by the least. Some of our best musicians are playing in the Boston Pop's, and CSO yes, but if we don't take the time to listen for those songs that connect us as Humans, and show us another side of Heaven, then we are wasting away this great gift God has given us.
Thomas Newman, my favorite composer of this time, captures this passion very well. It may be because I am a sucker for piano ballads and oboe solos, but every time I listen to him my story of my life fits perfectly note by note. I encourage anyone who is reading this, to find this song, find this musician who touches your life, who plays your life song, and never let go of it. Maybe I am just a music dork, who has had to many lessons, and to much music theory, but take my word for it. Isn't God amazing? He truly is.

Summer Day: 29
Hands of cards: Too many to count .... Although Meghann Burt and I beat Stacy Heggen in Spades on Tuesday Night.
