The song that changed everything

There are some days, some moments that are some kind of magical.
Some moments where you can't explain what is just happening.
That you live something exceptional and only yourself realize.
That you could smile or seem happier and that people around you may see your face changes, but whatever.
So much the better for everyone.

Where yesterday, in front of my tabs booklet, I didn't know "what song to work on".
When my music teacher asked me, Destiny let me turn sheets of one by one.
And I fell on Raggamuffin (Sanne Putseys, 2010).
OK. To play this song, you must "be rhythmed" yourself and enjoy doing bar chords.
It is sure: it wasn't me when I asked him to study Raggamuffin.

"Oh yes, I know that song !", he said, and started to hum the song.
Then I started to do the first notes, and he did the following after he saw the right chords on my score.

"This is a song you even play it funky !".
OK, right. Play it funky. Do you know me, really ?
And he showed me.

It's a story of "ups and downs", of "ternary" thing, of doing it "5 times...
Of trying and doing it successfully, and glimpse things more than more in grey.

It was like Raggamuffin became one of my friends.
The chords didn't sound so perfectly but I did bars like I never did before.
It let enter inexplicable energy into my arms, body and mind, so much that I would have been ready to play like the whole Selah songbook !

Other artists songs came also and all these songs semt to come so well that I made a wish at this moment.
The wish that later I could be able to play like I did during this incredible discovery moment:
Raggamuffin still a bit seems to be one of my friends.

Thank you Thomas, thank you Selah (once more), and Merry Christmas to everyone who read this blog...

PS: After the lesson, Raggamuffin helped me also to become a perfect xylophonist for a jam session.
