day 27 – a song that you wish you could play

I’m a huge music buff, but I don’t know how to play any instrument at all. That pushed me to skip day 26. I can only play the DoReMi song for honesty’s sake which is quite embarrassing to confess. Why would I write about it if I still suck at it, right? Darn! So instead of mooning over my lack of musical prowess, let me just jump to the 27^th task and talk about the song that I wish I could play.

I’ve always wanted to play the piano ever since I was a kid. I used to get mesmerized every time I see a real piano. I guess all of us have felt that way before. It was like being in my fantasy land the first time I saw a piano being displayed at my aunt’s house. I only got to see one in fairy tales, and the moment I saw it as big as life I couldn’t help but touch it and make it sound.

I’m impressed with people who can play even basic piano pieces. You see, I don’t have the right to question their ability because I can’t ever be like them no matter how hard I try. I can never learn how to play it because I already have other priorities, and my hands are not that flexible anymore. How I wish I’m the copycat girl from Heroes so I can absorb others’ capacities just by looking at them.

Despite my rock music preference and that disappointment I just spilled, I still arm myself with classical piano pieces every once in a while. That is to forgo academic and social pressures bugging me. Those tunes relax my nerves and lighten my mind. I actually plan of downloading some albums from Beethoven, Mozart and other classical artists. I can’t wait to pamper my soul with such decent music.

Anyway, here’s one of the piano pieces I really wish I could play, but I couldn’t. My sister who used to be a big Twilight fanatic told me this song was Edward Cullen’s favorite. I didn’t know that, huh. Thanks for that trivia sissy!
