You may not be familiar with singer's nightmare... it is very similar to actor's nightmare!... you show up and don't know what play you're in, you don't know your lines, you have no costume...or worse you're naked!.. Well, singer's nightmare is no better! You don't know the song, you sing the wrong song, and you have a cold and can't sing yet are still forced to! Or maybe your accompanist doesn't show up or you find out that the normally private audition is in front of EVERYONE IN THE WORLD!.... If you're not getting the picture yet.... ITS HORIFYING!!!!!!
Well, I have had a migraine all weekend, so naturally I have been sleeping a lot!... But it seems that everytime I go to sleep I fall in to this mortifying scenario!
I am auditioning for the University of Colorado at Boulder this Saturday. I am literally singing my pieces in my sleep! If I start thinking about the audition too much before bed, I won't be able to sleep at all.... then when I do sleep... its awful!
Last night I was to the point of wit's end!... normally I can't sleep with any music on, but last night I had to listen to something to get my audition out of my head! I returned to my go-to nighttime album... Roar of Love by 2nd Chapter of Acts
It's fantastic! It takes the story of CS Lewis' The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and turns it in to song!! It's brilliantly ahead of its time!!! If you are a Lewis fan, or a '70s Christian rock fan... or you just want to hear an AWESOME album!!!!! Listen to it! Listen to the message... you will be blown away!!
P.S.
This goes out as kutos to my big sis Lysha! Who insisted that we listen to this album EVERY NIGHT for years!! Love ya Lysh!!!
Sisters, sisters...there were never such devoted sisters!
