---as i write this blog, i'm listening to libera's lullabye for the nth time. it's a hauntingly beautiful song, not meant to let you fall asleep but to remember something that goes beyond the history of young kids being sent to war, young children being abandoned, the helpless and the forsaken ones. it's a beautiful yet sad song.
---i'm more of a thomas cully fan having listened to his "getting over you" & "cashmere" perhaps for the 100000th time (of course, there's an exaggeration to this, heh heh) but listening to joshua madine now, wow - this boy's voice is so sweet, i have this feeling he'd stay on with libera forever. i have admired him with his "how can i keep from singing" (and made it my ringtone of my celfone, no kidding!) because there's something in his voice that makes me - errrrrr, swoon? is that the right term for that? the boy certainly has a voice but with a different level to that of tom dot.
---i had very little idea of what the storyline of the song was but my good friend, kaye told me about it early this morning. indeed it was haunting - of how young boys were sent to war, ending a what could have been a beautiful life for them. and she also gladly gave me the lyrics of the song, which i couldn't just get right because my emotions were letting it all out, i choked on every line. it was a disaster doing a sing-along of this song!
---this morning, i went straight to the video to listen to it again while having breakfast until now that it's past lunchtime. and that's what inspired me to go straight to my blog. i will never get tired listening to tom's compositions and libera's songs - and the more it excites us to listen to that de luxe album coming soon in november. this song has already drawn so much inspiration to a lot of people - and that album has 2 christmas songs included, so it's really a treat to all fans of libera... in time for the holidays.
---the house is drowning with madine's voice now, non-stop. i have only this to say... beautiful song...beautiful voice...beautiful boy.
