Midnight ramblings



My thoughts are everywhere. So this post is going to fly all over the place. Apologies in advance. 

I have a deadline to meet. It's a frightening one. Not impossible, but tough because of how long it normally takes me to focus on arranging. Usually a couple of days of trying to arrange before the arranging actually happens. I want to say I hate arranging, but I can't. Love-hate is more accurate. I love making music. I hate that daily life and making music doesn't make very well. If I have to cook healthy meals and exercise and go to church and keep up friendships, it's very hard to be 'in the zone' for making decent music. 

That's why I'm listening to this song by the twins. As annoying as I find their (莫名奇妙)popularity, they have been a blessing in some little way to many people. So God bless them. 

Weary.

I have this supposedly awesome life. A few people have messaged me privately on FB and congratulated me on my awesome life. "You're moving up", "You're moving forward", "You're doing well", "Life in Taiwan looks great for you" etc. When I actually stop to think and breathe, life isn't that bad. Heh. I haven't been idle, and God has blessed me. 

I have a lot of patience for certain things, but a very limited supply for other things. 

The things you really really want. Do they always evade you? Lots of other goodies fall on your lap. But the things you really want...Maybe they drop on on the laps of others (and the Bethel crowd will tell me I need to celebrate it because it is a test from the Lord to see if I will celebrate the success of others. I do my best). Maybe they just seem further and further out of reach because of the time just keeps passing by. Maybe they have become in reach, but you're not sure if you want them this way. The price you have to pay is too hight? 

Count count count my blessings! Remember everything He has enabled me to do, trained me to do, and  given freely to me. 

Daddy God, I'm sorry. Please hug me.

Fear and Faith

I wish I could get rid of this feeling of underlying fear that grips me once in a while. After every high there is an inevitable crash. Or when I wake up, it's really hard to face the day not quite knowing what you should do or what the goal is in the end.  I can picture this trembling kid in my mind, who's quite desperate to cling on to something for safety and comfort. And that kid is me. But the kid's alone. And there's no one to actually to hang on to, and nothing to hug, not even a pillow. But the kid is also wary of clinging on to anything because that might prove disastrous, as it has in the past. You get entangled with unnecessary things or people So,  Kid is stuck with just holding nothing. Waiting.  I mean, it's not like God never warned or foretold that this journey would be lonely, I'd be seemingly alone, but He would be with me. I would look like I was wobbly but He would uphold me. The only time the fear really alleviates is when God's pres...

陶喆 David Tao Mash Up 2 - 流沙/普通朋友 (by Charis蔡佳靈 + Nray 胡恩瑞 + 森林ㄌㄜˋ園)

高中會重覆聽100遍的歌就是‘普通朋友' 和 ‘流沙‘ ☺️ 很開心可以和  森林ㄌㄜˋ園 團長阿綠把這兩首百聽不厭的歌串在一起,重編成band sound的歌;然後和  N-Ray 胡恩瑞  &樂手朋友們呈現出來。謝謝有才的朋友們的參與!也再次謝謝負責攝影間接 Rick Lin 。希望你們會喜歡~歡迎分享、留言、訂閱、按 💗  !也可以跟我們說你們要接下來聽的歌 (那些點‘沙灘’的朋友我已看見你們的留言!) I remember re-playing 'Regular Friends' and 'Everything's gone' so many times on the way to school. They were such classic hits! Here's the 2nd David Tao mashup video we produced. My gifted singer/songwriter/keyboardist friend Green Lee sat down with me to re-arrange it together (guess which other song we used as a base for the two tracks 😁 ?). Had lots of fun recording and shooting this with my talented pals! Please help us share around, and do subscribe if you haven't yet!
