It's been a long, long night, I tell you. Been staying up transposing "I Feel Pretty" again, the lyrics were hell to type in, had to make sure they were aligned, notes were correct, dynamics were there... I'm so tired, I made a couple of mistakes and had to correct them, which meant re-doing a big chunk of it. I can't even express emotion now, all I want to do is crash into my pillow, but even in my dreams, I see and hear myself transposing my music!
It's a curse, I tell you!
However, this "Finale" program is certainly cool stuff. Only thing bad about it is that the MIDI sounds terrible, but as long as it produces decent chords and all that, it's good for me! I'm so going to install this stuff on my laptop when I get one for poly next year. Composing with it is so much easier, my composition on paper was a miserable failure. I bet if Mozart had this software, he would've have written more music!
Went to Bugis library and Bras Basah complex today. Bought a 2nd-hand Maths revision book and some paper stumps, then went to Bugis Street to buy two tank-tops.
Anyway, I wanted to blog about something specific tonight. A few days ago, I found a photo of Philippe Jaroussky online and posted it on my blog, the one with him and all those plastic-haired people. That image has been stuck in my head for days ever since I first saw it, and I couldn't get rid of that image in my head and I couldn't understand why.
I thought about it today while sitting outside the Bugis national library, flipping through art books and doing Maths. First reason is probably because I've always seen PJ in formal-wear, a shirt and jacket, or even a suit. The most casual I've seen him in is a long-sleeved T-shirt and jeans. That photo I found online, however, had his top-half bare, so maybe it came as a surprise for me. Just not used to seeing someone who's usually so covered-up, bare.
Second reason would be that he looks delicious in that photo. To me, at least, since you guys know I have weird tastes. It just occurred to me today that my favourite singer is not only talented, he's also sexy as hell!
I had a good listen to his songs again today, those that I found boring before, and suddenly, I heard so many beautiful things that I'd missed out on before! Vivaldi wrote some pretty good vocal music, why isn't it famous?
Anyway, PJ is my role-model in music. One day I shall sing as well as he does, or better! To sing like him would be great enough, how would it feel to look like him?
