I really do wish I were better at singing. I think I have some degree of natural talent, in the sense that I'm not tone-deaf like others, and because I'm good at imitating sounds. I've also been told that my voice has a natural vibrato, which is supposed to be a rare (and good) occurrence. That said, I know I would greatly benefit from taking voice lessons (which I never have.) Maybe if I had grown up in a more open-minded and culturally-oriented society, one that cherished the arts more, I would've found a decent place to take voice lessons at. Alas, that was not the case.
30 Day Song Challenge - Day 22: A song that you listen to when you're sad.
There are many songs that I turn to when I'm feeling sad. It all depends on: 1) Why I'm feeling sad and 2) Whether I want to encourage the sadness or stop it abruptly (when I want to stop it abruptly, I'll just put some Lady Gaga on and start dancing like a mad woman.) If I'm feeling sad because I'm missing someone, I'll normally play a song that reminds me of that person, and then I'll allow myself to cry for the duration of the song. Once this cathartic process is over, I'll feel as if a weight had been lifted from my shoulders and I'll be able to carry on. One such song is:
I don't wanna run away, but I can't take it, I don't understand,
If I'm not made for you, then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I could stay in your arms?
If I don't need you, then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don't need you, then why does your name resound in my head?
If you're not for me, then why does this distance maim my life?
If you're not for me, then why do I dream of you as my (guy)?
I don't know why you're so far away, but I know that this much is true:
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with.
And I wish that you could be the one I die with.
And I wish that you could be the one I die with.
And I pray in you're the one I build my home with.
I hope I love you all my life...
Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right, and though I can't be with you tonight,
You know my heart is by your side...

Aw, I actually find that song really romantic and always envision that because of the song, the couple get back together.
This is actually one of my sad songs as well. I think it's cause it got linked it to the first person I liked... who I couldn't have.
So, yeah... the words hit me hard at that time. And though I love the song and I'm obviously over that "heartbreak"... I still sense a bit of sadness in me when I hear it.
Yea, this song always reminds me of my first love. Believe it or not, I actually sang it for him at some point. To a certain degree, it still reminds me of that first experience with heartbreak, but nowadays, it even reminds me of more recent experiences, too. Le sigh.
It is an incredibly romantic song, though. Even if it makes me sad, I still like it very much.
