My Favorite Instrumental Music

  As a member of Generation X, I was exposed to traditional instrumental music commonly used as the background or theme music for radio and television shows.   I have many beloved instrumental pieces, but I struggled to remember their titles until the advent of YouTube, which made it easier to find and listen to them online.   These classic instrumentals evoke a sense of nostalgia and sentimentality, transporting me back in time and stirring up memories of the past.   As someone prone to feeling emotional and nostalgic, I can't help but be moved whenever I encounter these tunes on social media platforms.   One particular instrumental I adore is exceptional and deserves high praise.  

The Way that He Loves

Been blog absent for a while, I failed to update here due to some unavoidable circumstances. These past few weeks were truly toxic. I've been stressed and is still recuperating for now, the cause that I couldn't even make a few dash in here nor think of any words to write or gather any thoughts in mind.
I miss blogging and since I started to have one, this blogsite of mine has been my rendezvous and a shock absorber of sort, everytime I want to cry out and unload my burden. Speaking of burden, I came across of an old song or let say a hymn that I used to hear when I was a kid. It flashed back in my mind the days that I was still a new converted Christian. Thanks to a new pal, who just sang it by chance. Sometimes, songs or music are good remedies to cure the brokenness in us.
The song that I am talking about is a religious song, of course, an old Christan song that slowly heals the damage done by stressful errands. It tells that the Love of God never fails and it's everlasting.
It will always be in my memories believing the way that God loves is like a sweet rose that provided beauty and aroma.



THE WAY THAT HE LOVES

The way that He loves is as fair as the day
That blesses my way with love
The way that He loves is as soft as the breeze
Carressing the trees at night

VERSE 2
So tender and precious is He
Contented with Jesus I’ll be
The way that He loves is so thrilling because
His love reaches even me

VERSE 3
The way that He loves is as deep as the sea
His spirit shall be my stay
The way that He loves is as pure as a rose
Much sweeter He grows each day

VERSE 4
His peace hovers near like a dove
I know there’s a heaven above
To Jesus I’ll cling, life’s a wonderful thing
Because of the way He loves

MELANCHOLY PLACE

As a young person, happiness and contentment isn't hard to achieve so as finding the way which you never know where to go. Uncertainties in life is becoming normal to human just as the way you look around seems to be monotonous.
This is the common life of a common person who tried to combat the loneliness of this world while finding the light in the midst of a dimmed melancholic place.
Just as the blind continue to grapple the hard things he can hold on to, the same way we continue to walk in the darkside of life until we finally found the light beyond the borders of failures.

Upon browsing and touring the entire world of cyberspace, I was accidentally bumped into this long forgotten song,-"I'm Going Back To The Philippines" sang by one of the famous boy bands in the 80's Menudo.
It was sang by a new member of Menudo Raymund Acevedo...freshly as it may seems...my memory bank has just started to play the song as my mouth was trying to utter some vaguely lyrics.I strongly believe that this song was a nostalgic which brought so much tears and emotions of fleetingness to the Filipino fans.
Well, just try to appreciate what this song had made a tremendous impact to the Philippines. It had kept the fondest memories alive,isn't it? it's a timeless classic that has always warmed our hearts and it brings us back to all those wonderful years with this boy band which is a yesterday once more.
