This weekend has been great and I am able to relax before going on another week to work. I was checking out youtube videos yesterday and I found videos of one of my favorite bands, Fireflight, on their Front Row Live performance. This band is relatively new to me. They are a Christian band. I've known them for a couple of years and I instantly loved their songs. While watching the videos, somehow I felt jealous that they could sing their hearts out about God, and I wanna do that too.

I already have a couple of songs and it's relatively easier to write Christian lyrics than the usual songs I write. I think I'll play either the guitar or bass, and just do backup vocals. I want the other members to know how to sing too. And preferably, know how to write and perform songs as well. I can write songs on my own but it is really hard to make those riffs and drum tracks especially since I never had any formal lessons. And the feel of the music is very confined to my own ideas only. I'd love to have inputs and contributions from the rest of the group. I think it's more exciting to play and listen to if different ideas form into one song. It's more fulfilling to the artist and the performer.

This is all just an idea that I have but it would be really great if it will come true. I used to sing in our school choir and perform in the church and in other events but I don't see myself in that style anymore. I feel more comfortable in this kind of ministry because it's my real passion and it's what I've always wanted to do.

So if anyone out there is interested, you can contact me here.

What else is a better way for us music lovers to  celebrate the Independence Day than to listen to pure Pinoy progressive metal? Eternal Now, after oh so many years, will finally release their debut album Filipinas 1800, the first ever concept album about the Philippine Revolution.
