Easy Silence

The view from my inner city appartment. I will sorely miss this place and the 2 people who make this flat even more special!

It's been ages I know, I know! Truth is, with so much work to be done (and the semester has just begun a month ago!) it's been so easy to not blog despite the many events that have happend in these few months. But, I'm not about to spend this little space with this whole I've-been-busy rigmarole.

I'm not going to say much either. I will leave you with this little thought I have though: Songwriting is an art that very few people have. Wait; let me rephrase that: GOOD songwriting is an art very few people have been blessed with. That said, I think Rebecca St. James and Brooke Fraser are probably two of the best writers around. I'm amazed at how such simple words speak so profoundly to my heart. I think what makes it so meaningful is the fact that they sing their own songs- personal interpretation just totally adds to it. This is really true when I listen to songs that make me go, "that's exactly how I feel, right there!"

A few weeks ago, my Radio lecturer asked everyone in my class if there was a band or song that describes us, what would it be. I wish I had Rebecca St. James' If I Had One Chance To Tell You Something because that's me right there; the whole album! I find it funny (not funny "ha-ha") and quite amazing at the same time. It feels good to know I'm not alone in this world; that there is at least one other person who identifies with me, or rather I identify with- since she had it in her to pen down her thoughts and make it into a well-selling (if that's even a phrase) record at that!

p.s: The blue and yellow thing sticking out at the far left in the picture above is Auckland's pride and joy: The Sky Tower. I want to bungee jump from the mid point some day- before my 25th birthday.
