Pamparo in Toronto

Just wanted to share what I was playing last night. Pardon the sloppiness, this was recorded at midnight so that I won’t forget it. So here’s the beginning of a song that I think can go places once the mood strikes again

Here’s the MP3:

It’s a simple A-A/C#-D-G progression. Somehow, I wanted to make it sound “happier”. But every time I try, it always go back to a melancholic progression. Enjoy!

It’s our third day in Dominican Republic and we took a trip on one of the Catamarans. I am lying down with my eyes close on a net in front of the boat. Nothing but water under and wind on our face . My son was lying beside me in my arms and my wife was sitting on the other side. Most of the songs being played that day are dance/disco music. For no apparent reason, our “DJ” just started playing “Beautiful Day” by U2. I am not a very big fan of U2, but this trip has definitely given new meaning to this song, especially this part:

It was a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away
Beautiful day

Touch me, Take me to that other place
Reach me, I know I’m not a hopeless case

What you don’t have you don’t need it now
What you don’t know you can feel it somehow
What you don’t have you don’t need it now
Don’t need it now, Was a beautiful day

It was indeed a beautiful day. That very moment reminded me of God and how much thankful I am for my life and for giving me the things that I really need … God and my family!

This is definitely one of the highlights of our trip that I will always cherish forever.
