39. A Thousand Years (of Forever Alone)


Let's try something different today, shall we? Videos are just moving pictures, so there's really nothing to complain about my uploading of one - if anything, it's better because now this post technically consists of a LOT more pictures than the usual one to two.

Sorry, just a bit cranky. Because, of course, today is my least-favourite day of the year. I've never been the biggest fan of public displays of affection, and Valentine's Day is the supposed universal celebration of l'amour, complete with flowers that wither, overpriced chocolates that give you food poisoning, and perhaps most importantly - sappy love songs that are just absolutely dreadful.

Ridiculous, how a multi-billion dollar industry revolves around all this materialistic crap, and even more ridiculous how many people buy into this rip-off, I thought, as I heard the piano lead in of yet another horrible love song play on the radio.

Four minutes later, my entire universe was flipped upside down. I realized that not only had I heard this song before on Glee, but I actually (oh, the horror!) liked the tune.

And so, I proceeded to find the sheet music, to try my hand at some of this Valentine's Day fluffiness.

Surprisingly, I didn't feel so bitter after about an hour. In fact, the more I played, the less annoyed, and more enlightened I felt. A warm feeling spread within me, and suddenly, I was filled with an inexplicable urge to share some of the brilliant feeling with everyone.

And that is the story of how my horrible singing was unleashed on the world.

Enjoy! (Or not.)
