Dreams Do Come True

If you read this, I think it is clear that I love music. For most people it is a pass time but for me it is utterly different. Music, even is the words and sounds don't come from me personally, express me in every way. I relate to each and every artist and the notes and expressions that come out of their mouths. Lyrics aren't just a slew of musically put together words but a story places in each and every syllable of each and every word. Music is an art that has been around for ages and  is going to be around for ages to come.

Most of this is common knowledge but what isn't common knowledge is how much I enjoy watching American Idol. Although playing a musical instrument is talented and extremely wonderful, there is nothing more intimate than an amazing vocalist. The notes that are portray through their music is from their heart, it has soul and character. I love watching people come from nothing and pursuing their lifetime dreams of being a singer. Although some people have negative things to say about this show I believe it is a gift, a gift for people with huge amounts of talents. Its a way to instantly get noted in your talent.

This season just ended with a guy name Lee DeWyze being crowned 2010's American Idol. He was a paint salesman until he auditioned for the show and became the winner after many cuts. He won America's heart with his rock vocals and his talent of reconstructing classic masterpieces into his own. Two weeks ago he sang Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley, a song that has been sung over and over again on the show, and gave me goosebumps. I have never heard a better cover of the song, he would of done Jeff Buckley proud. Everything about him screams zero to hero, from a shy singer to a vocalist that could rip up the stage.

I love when a dream comes true, I really do. He is going to do the thing he loves the most for the rest of his life, and hes extremely talented at it. My hat comes off for you Lee DeWyze and I can only hope that my dreams and aspirations come half to what yours has.

Dreams do come true.

But for tonight, goodnight.
