This post was in the old blog, and it was gone with it, so here we go again.
I like playing and composing music as much as I like listening to it. I’ve always been surrounded by great people who managed to inspire me each time, and made me sit on my lousy machine to record - using my lousy software ofcourse
I always liked being amateur at it, makes it more special rather becoming your job! I always wrote based on personal experiences / situations, hence why many people could relate to my music.
Although kept in a closed circle, lots of my friends and family really like my stuff, and it is very often you find them listening to it, hence why some of them pushed me to feature some in my blog -The Governor’s Music sort of thing!
So I will share the most popular ones, and then will reveal more of my collection.
I think many of you guys who write music will agree with me on this one; usually people’s favorites are not necessary the artist’s favorites, even for famous bands, you will find that they personal favorites are sometimes not even hits, or not featured on albums.
This post I will feature my top 3, as in people’s choice
Just note that you should expect bad recording quality, it is all home made and mostly one takes, so ignore any false notes or mistimed beats, and focus on the though! hehehehe.
1. Sentimental
This is definitely and by far the best thing I ever written, every just gets attached to it, including myself. This was done mid 2005, and it was dedicated for a love moving far. As the name indicates, the song is 100% feelings, and straight from the heart.
2. Platonic Love
I heard many compliments thanks to this song, it makes many people happy although it is a sad one, and the reason is everyone can relate to it. It was written at a very sad time in early 2005, I was really depressed back then, having done everything I could to achieve what seemed so attainable, however never could, and for no clear reason. I think each one of us pass through that at some point.
3. She Said
This is one of my most advanced songs in terms of writing and recording. It was written and recorded late 2005, and it tells a story of denial and persistence. Some people like to deny what’s obvious for no clear reason, and me being on the receiving side I just wanted to release the pressure somehow, and there was “She Said”. It is based on a real story and real events so take it easy.
It is quite interesting to note how the quality of the songs and the recording been improving with time, just by observing these three pieces; all came in the same year but at different stages.
It is sad to mention but my newest piece goes back to early 2006, so I must be all rusty now.

I wrote about 13 lines and accidentally hit some kind of a button that took me to the home page. I have to rewrite (what is the shortcut for the crying face?)
