Animal instinct

Animal instinct
Suddenly something has happened to me
As I was having my cup of tea
Suddenly I was felling depressed
I was utterly and totally stressed
Do you know you made me cry?
Do you know you made me die?

And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt
It is a lovely thing that we have
It is a lovely thing, the animal
The animal instinct

So take my hands and come with me
We will change reality
So take my hands and we will pray
They won't take you away
They will never make me cry, no
They will never make me die
And the things that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt

The animal, the animal,
the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, the animal,
the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, it's the animal
It's the animal instinct in me

A day not so far from now...
When I may know the truth, or may not,
When I may be released from my sorrow.
Think what I really do think,
And do what I really do want to do.
Be strong, my dear !!!

Richard Clayderman - Mariage D'amour

Finally, I can record the first version for one of my favourite songs - Mariage D'amour, composed by a famous French pianist - Richard Clayderman.
I like the way the melody goes in this song, simply, peacefully, yet romantically... I let my feeling goes as the melody of the song starts.. Even though my skill is not so good yet, I try to enjoy the melody in the way i feel like.
So I share it here, my dear friends :)

The Customs House - The University of Queensland

On the way to The Customs House


In front of The Customs House

Being an UQ student for almost 9 months, but this is the first time I've been in The Customs House for listening to the concert performed by UQ musical students. It is always good to learn something different from our professional field...especially the music, which is complementary to our life.
The customs House The heritage-listed Brisbane Customs House, our riverside base at 399 Queen Street in Brisbane's CBD, links University and community as a focal point for cultural and educational activities. The Customs House houses an art collection, and provides brasserie dining as well as facilities for corporate and private functions for up to 350 guests, including a boardroom for meetings, and a seminar room with audio-visual facilities. There is also a ballroom suitable for large gatherings, which holds a series of concerts presented by the University of Queensland School of Music.

Katie Yap on Viola


Shostakovich's piano Quintet 57

In this performance, the pianist was a Vietnamese master student-Linh Tran Thai. I was a bit suprised at first when i saw this name on the list, I already can tell for sure this is a Viet name :)

Fause Requiem


Unfortunately, the last 2 performances, my memory card was out of memory, I can't record for the whole piece.
It was an enjoyable time for me and my friend. I also would like to see the next performance with piano, one of the instrument i'd love to learn.
Have a good night ^^


And music is everywhere... ^.*
