Was treated to a facinated revelation yesterday. A couple of us went to watch The U.K. Magnets, a capella group comprising of 6 British guys in suits. Their rendition of popular covers were fantastic as the crowd cheered and cheered them on. I must admit that it was a very enjoyable experience.
It was amazing to see the kind of sounds the human voice can produce. Especially the percussionist. He was pretty amazing and guess he's the backbone of the group. Not to mention that he seems to work the hardest. Never in my wildest imagination would I have thought that the human voice can produce such sounds!
a cap·pel·la
adv. Music
Without instrumental accompaniment.
[Italian : a, in the manner of + cappella, chapel, choir.]
The human voice is just amazing. The sounds that it can make, the unique voices that define a person. The words that it can make, think of all the languages that you can converse in. The words that are spoken forth are also power. There are words that can bring healing to another person's life, there are words that can end another's life. Words that can bring war and destruction, and also words that can bring world peace (Sandra Bullock spoke these words in Miss Congeniality)
James once said that "... the tongue is a fire. The tongue is an unrighteous world among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the cycle of nature, and set on fire by hell". How true this is. The power of our words. Do we realise it?
