Far From the Home I Love
So today was my first rehersal for the solo I am doing for NYSMA. It is a beautiful song called Far From the Home I Love from Fiddler on the Roof. It is about a girl who is torn between staying home or leavign to go live with the one she loves. It has minors while she is talking about what she is thinking and majors while she is talking about her family and past (at least I think..I’m not the best a music!) She ponders where she will be happier. All of her best memories are with her family, but this man is just everything she ever wanted! In the end she decides that “there with my love I’m home.” So home is where the people you love are. She then gets on the train to go with her man never to see her family again. So Amazing
. I have to admit…I was very nervous going in there considering I didn’t really look at my music over break or anything and there were two eighth grade girls singing with me. Sadly, I was intimidated by them thinking that they would knock me out of my socks! My chorus teacher starts playing and we all start singing in unison. What a suprise to me that I actually did not sound as horrid as I thought I would!! I kind of felt good about how I sounded!! Usually I’m always getting down on myself about singing and well, everything else I do. Thinking that I’m just never good enough. Knowing there is someone better, prettier, skinner, more athletic, more dramatic, ect. out there than me. It gets me down in the dumps sometimes! For the first time ever though, I felt good about what I was doing! Genuinlly good! It was a very nice feeling
. It probably did not sound awesome but hey! It will get better the more I practice (I hope!). Well now i just feel weird rambling on about this. Is this what a blog is supposed to do? Ramble on and on about how your life is going? Or the thoughts your having? Maybe even what your feeling? I supose that’s what mine is turning out to be!! Oh well I’m just going to end this one now! Until next time
