I’ve really been wanting to play some music lately. I was thinking about recording some songs that I never recorded, or playing some live music. I even thought a little karaoke tonight. I didn’t do it, of course, because I don’t sing well. But that’s the point of karaoke, isn’t it? You can sing like crap and no one else can say anything because they sing like crap too.

Lately I’ve been making a mental list of songs that I would like to perform live with a band. So far I only have two songs, but they epitomize the idea of this list.

“En Macherus” by My Epic

I’m think I’m ready to go,
(Why am I left in this place?)
though I can’t grasp yet,
(Of all the miracles known…)
With all the power you hold,
(When did my diligence fade?)
isn’t this desertion?

These prison walls are far from golden streets and desert paths where kingdoms preached repentance’s call, but now you’ve ceased to speak in me the mysteries. Forgive the doubt of baffled eyes. I thought that you would save my life. I pray in chains but no reply. Could this be where the ending lies? If you can claim the skies and calm the seas, give sight to lifeless eyes, and set the captives free, I know that you can raise the dead to life and comfort me. If Heaven’s son can bear the weight of every shame and die for grace, then Abba, I, I too will find the courage not to sway beneath the blade. This will be the end of me, and I will see your glory.

“My Heart” by Paramore

I am finding out that maybe I was wrong
That I’ve fallen down and I can’t do this alone

Stay with me, this is what I need, please?

Sing us a song and we’ll sing it back to you
We could sing our own but what would it be without you?

I am nothing now and it’s been so long
Since I’ve heard the sound, the sound of my only hope

This time I will be listening.

Sing us a song and we’ll sing it back to you
We could sing our own but what would it be without you?

This heart, it beats, beats for only you
This heart, it beats, beats for only you

This heart, it beats, beats for only you
My heart is yours

This heart, it beats, beats for only you
My heart is yours
(My heart, it beats for you)

This heart, it beats, beats for only you (It beats, beats for only you)
My heart is yours (My heart is yours)

This heart, it beats, beats for only you (Please don’t go now, please don’t fade away)
My heart, my heart is yours (Please don’t go now, please don’t fade away)

(Please don’t go now, please don’t fade away) My heart is yours
(Please don’t go now, please don’t fade away) My heart is yours
(Please don’t go, please don’t fade away)
(Please don’t go now, please don’t fade away) My heart is…
