Muzik

Music has arrived in Yemen in two ways recently: firstly, we have DSL, and iTunes is now supported in Yemen, so I downloaded the album Hearts of the Innocent by Kutless the other day, which is, by the way, an awesome album, provided you like Kutless. If you don't know and want to find out, listen to All Alone first, and then decide.

Tonight was the annual piano recital. My mom taught every single last student there, and there was a list. Peter (my little brother) played Concerning Hobbits, and did really well, and both Jeremy and Melanie played brilliantly. In short, the evening was a smashing success.

Last Saturday, the last piano teaching session my mom got in in before the performance tonight had a rather humorous incident: I was listening to a song called Everything was White, by Demon Hunter (a death metal band) and was singing along. Melanie heard me singing, listened to the song, and decided that there was no tune and that I was making it all up. There was a tune though, not in the verse, but in the chorus, but nobody else could hear it. I like that song better than all the other Demon Hunter songs I know because it has a tune, but they thought not. I could be going delusional again (I kept seeing dolphins in Socotra that nobody else saw) Or I could be really stupid and am actually listening to the radio station I heard two years ago and it took that long for my brain to register, or I could have finally gone schitzophrenic and am hearing all my voices speak to me at the same time, and they are all friends, and have decided to make a band together, or aliens could be attacking me with their ray guns because I am so obnoxious, but our metabolisms are so different I am hearing music instead of dying. Well, that last one is a tad outrageous, but you never know!
