Today I played a bit of music. As a child I used to love to sing. I would sing everywhere and anytime and about anything (I used to sing about my cat). When I entered high school I loved to play my guitar. When we wrote about the activities we loved to do in the three different stages of our lives I wrote about music/singing and how free it made/makes me feel. My boyfriend and I played music together tonight, I was on the guitar and vocals and he played the banjo. I enjoyed it, but because of not growing up in the right environment I often get shy playing in front of others, even my boyfriend. So although this was fun and relaxing it was also a bit nerve wrecking because I get so vulnerable singing, playing guitar or writing music in front of others. Besides that I was able to come up with a little song that shows this class' influence on my thoughts. No biggy, this is just a little something I wrote in a moment of openness to my heart.



”I want to know” by Becky-Boo

Guitar chords Verse: Em, A, D, G / Chorus: D, G

Verse 1: I want to know what the world’s offerin’ me
What I’ll do, who I’ll meet, where I’ll be
What are the boundaries and what can I achieve
Are there answers or is it only within me

Chorus: ‘cause I want to know what this world is all about
And I want to know the answers to my doubts
I want to know
Do I want to know?

Verse 2: I want to know if your heart is pure
And what’s it gonna cost to find pure love
Once we’ve got it how do we endure
Do we put up with each other or put on a mask

Chorus: ‘cause I want to know what this world is all about
And I want to know the answers to my doubts
I want to know
Do I want to know?

Verse 3: I want to know what I’m bringing to this world
I need to thrive, not waste this precious time
I’ve been blessed, so I can’t miss this life
Action is the answer to this quest called life

Chorus: ‘cause I want to know what this world is all about
And I want to know the answers to my doubts
I want to know
Do I want to know?
