Everything in Its Time

It's been a while since my last entry.

Hehz. been sorely tempted to leave single liners like "Kestrel is busy figuring out what shape her petronaus will take - maybe the shape of the gryphon ;p" *lousy joke huhz*

But then again, I decided it's probably not worth it to leave such lousy one liners. Ok. Maybe I was just too lazy and too caught up with reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in the nights. The crack at the gryphon was more because of the 10th anniversary at my old JC that I attended last sunday and also the gryphon theme that I got for my handphone yesterday. Courtesy of aadvark ;p

Attended Corrinne May's concert at UCC yesterday evening. I've been a fan of hers right from the very beginning. Quite proud of the fact. :) I can still remember first seeing her perform at Fort Canning. In the days before the release of her first album. Was very impressed by her voice, songs and the sight of her strumming her guitar on stage. V country and indie style. Simply loved it. Following that, I guess I was behaving v much like a teenaged fan. I actually turned up for her next performance at Borders. Apparently I was caught on camera and this clip played over and over again on Arts Central. Didn't even know about it till my colleagues told me ;p Since then, I've continued being a fan. Buying her CDs and attending both her concerts at UCC.

Back to talking about the concert. As always, Corrinne delivered a wonderful soulful performance. The combination of piano, keyboard, strings, guitars and drums coupled with her vocals packs a solid punch. Though I gotta say that I seem to have a preference for songs from her older albums instead of the new. Nonetheless, the songs never fail to tug at my heartstrings. Yeah, I spent the first half of the concert feeling rather emotional for some weird reasons. Maybe the music and the lyrics are just too good..

Thought I would share one of my favourite Corrinne May songs with you guys :) Rather like the lyrics...about how Everything has its own time...

Sometimes I wonder what lies ahead
How long till my hunger is fed
They say it's hard to make it in this part of town
So many people on this merry-go-round

Some folks try astrology
Some turn to crystal balls
To find an answer,
To get through it all
I just fall on my knees and I try to pray
In the silence I can hear Him say

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
Everything in its time

I often feel like I'm two steps behind
Somebody must have moved that finish line
There are a thousand reasons
Why I should give up
But I'm stubborn in the things I believe

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign

'cause maybe there's another plan
One I still can't see
A little surprise, like your love in my life
Funny how time changes how we see

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
Everything in its time
Everything in its time
