the real meaning.

Well, I have to say that last night I felt more inspired to blog than I do this morning but still I will do it.
The last two blogs I posted are the things that pretty much are in my heart...
thats why I feel like focusing on lyrics today.
This guy-Jeremy Camp...his lyrics are amazing!
Its so cool when you get to understand the concept of a song...its meaning.
Back in highschool, I would listen to a bunch of songs and honestly the only thing I liked about them was the rhythm...I couldnt speak English back then so getting to understand the real meaning of them was kind of a mission:impossible.
But the truth is that I cant blame on songs in a foreign language b/c even when I hardly listen to Argentine(en castellano) music today, I used to do it in my teenage years and I wouldnt pay attention to the lyrics either. Most of the time I would end up singing songs that were horrible...
Oh! there's a song that just poped into my head, its called "Wind of change", this is funny, the dj would play the song, and every single human being would jumped to the "pista" to dance with his/her endless love, and they would whisper the song as if they were performing an anthem of love...well, in fact they were doing it, but not to love, but to freedom! Que navos que eramos!!
Anyways,this is an "episode" that change my concept of listening to music. I knew this girl,who after coming back from Canada and being part of a exchange student program, her English was almost perfect.If there is something cool about going dancing is to have a friend in the right place... and guess what? the dj happened to be a friend of mine,so some times I would be a sort of secretary for my other friends who would request so many songs.
One night she wanted to listened to this song by Roxette "Spending my time" and she sort of explain to me what the song was about and from then on I decided that I would pay special attention to all the songs that I listened to.Sometimes, I was really surprised by most of them, and some others I was more than disappointed!
...WOW! all these memories take me back to the weekends when going out every Saturday night was freaking awesome during my youth, mainly b/c at the disco almost at the end of the night they would played all these "lentos"...Oh my gosh!! Those songs are incredible...I say "are" 'cause most of them are still transcendent...like "Hotel California", "I dont know much","Against all odds","Against the Wind",and so on.
I got to realize that music is quite an interesting channel for pouring out your heart and not just a combination of notes and words...I guess when you are young the only thing you want to listen to is your own voice and your own words.You want the whole world to understand what you have to say...I never wrote a song but I did write some other stuff...(thats for another blog).
I would encourage you not just to listen to the rhythm of a song, but to listen to the lyrics...
If you are not a Christian I encourage you as well to listen to this guy(Jeremy Camp), who performs Christian music...and some others like Shane & Shane, Casting Crowns,Caedmon's call, Third day and why not Danilo Montero (one of my roomate and brother's favourite).
If you are already a Jesus' friend, you know what I am talking about...
And as regards my last two blogs...those songs speak for me...so theres nothing to add.
