My Heart Just Wasn't In The Music Today

I think it was because I was a wee bit tired. But choir was so irritating today. School choir, that is. Allow me to give you a list of the repetoire for Friday evening...*sigh* It's from a performance booklet of music called "This December Season". I don't know why we couldn't sing normal Christmas carols. Probably because we'd get sued. So here is the list of politically correct songs you will hear the Crescent Heights High School Choir singing on Friday evening.
1. Jingle Bell Sleigh Ride-a mix between Jingle Bells and Over the River. I hate it. I want to kill it. It's annoying and retarded and I hate it more than I hate eggplants.
2. In December-not bad...it talks about candles. Every second song does. You'll notice the theme. Anyway, it's kinda slower. Has some cool harmonies. None of this music is very deep. Meh.
3. Born This Christmas Day-Finally, a good Christmas carol! It's in French (well, part of it) and it's actually really good and I like it a bunch.
4. Candle In The Night-A Hanukah song. It's okay. Again with the candles. It's an okay song, I just get the feeling the "composers" threw it in there so as to avoid some pretty angry Rabbis.
5. On The Roof-I like this one solely because I didn't have to learn many lyrics. Mostly just Ooooh yeah yeah's. It's kinda pop-ish. It's not great, but it's not terrible either.
6. Candle In Your Heart-Candles. Christmas-ey feelings. Right, got it. Thanks. I don't mind the melody...I just think the lyrics are not exactly stellar.
And then in the second half the Chamber Choir, of which I am a part, is singing Angels In Heaven. It's an a capella piece (a capella means no background music. Just singing) and it. Is. Awesome. I wish it wasn't so short. But it is so FUCKING GOOD! I'm so happy I get to sing it. If the entire concert sucks and everyone messes up, but we sing that one song half decently, well, I'll be grinning 'til Christmas.
And today, I was wearing clothes from the Kevin Collection. As my dad pointed out, I'm a cross dresser. Whatever. And Dad found my jewelry, so I am relieved!

Musical Quote of the Day

"What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Blows away
In the end

And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt"

-Nine Inch Nails or Johnny Cash. Whichever you prefer Title: Hurt
