It started out as an opportunity for him to dedicate a song to her. He'd play the guitar, I'd sing, and our friend would play the piano. Granted, it was a talentime we were entering, but winning the competition was never the objective - winning her heart was.
It wasn't an easy song to sing, and especially so in this case, considering my semi-tone deaf nature. But the two weeks of hardcore constant practices, drilling the right notes in my head and getting accustomed to using my falsetto - something I'd never done before when performing in front of a crowd - paid off big time in the end. The girl was extremely moved and we took the 1st runner-up place. What an unexpected thrill!
I'm glad we did this cause I had a ball singing on stage. And to think that I originally pulled out the day before due to emotional instability. Thank God for the surge of confidence that came two hours before the event that caused a change of heart. Imagine the fun I would have missed out on.
It's been some time since I've accomplished something big enough for me to feel a sense of pride. Considering my history of bad singing of simpler songs on stage, pulling this particular song off and the wonderful feedback I got after the performance made for a reason to quietly feel proud of myself this week.
A big thank you to the lovely band mates and friends around for the guidance, advice and tips that made the whole thing work. Voila!
