Rare Wedding Song

Two years ago, a bride-to-be asked me if we know the song, “ The Gift of Love” and of course being honest I said no. She said that this is the song she wanted sung during her wedding six months after. She just arrived from the states to fix things up. And we were the last supplier to be thought about. She would go back to the states after two weeks stay in the Philippines.

I showed her some of our rough videos and liked it. And booked us. I assured her will find the music piece. Then, unknowingly she’s gone to the states. After a month I searched for the piece but couldn't find one. I rested myself for search. After another month I received an email of the song and very happy to have one. I let my pianist play it and it’s really nice, very inspirational. Very Methodist in theme and the flow is fluid. And the melody is rare.

Then came her wedding day. Of course, we have discussed the other music selections without even mentioning the song she picked months ago. We decided to perform it during the communion because it was more fitting.

Needless to say, we brought tears to her eyes.

A Song For You

How come that when you’re alone and silence is all around you music comes to mind? As if a faint background music is joining your reverie and this is also the time where you remember your favorite your song or music. Many of you will deny that you have your favorite because you don’t want to be tagged as a romantic. It’s a universal truth that music is for the heart and it makes your world colorful as many believe. Even a beautiful speaking tone is music. Everything is music because it vibrates. Even silence has its tune, it’s calming.

These days different music proliferates and each has it’s own taste for music and they have all the right in the world to enjoy the music they like. As I do. I don’t comment if I don’t like the song or music. Sometimes, I try to listen to what I don’t enjoy listening to but I can’t cheat myself that I enjoyed it. Still, I have my brand of music.

The song “smile” is my favorite even when I was in high school. It was rarely played then or sang but still I find means to hear it even once in a month. Now you can hear your favorite song anytime you want because of the wonder of Internet. It’s a miracle at hand.

And for the first time in many years I was given the opportune time to sing it. Not that really good but tried to sing it with my heart.
