🎸 Inside of My Guitar 💕

I love singing! ❤️ Mom says that I have the voice of an angel 👼, which is something that I inherited from her, who used to be in the choir. I used to play the piano 🎹. I also used to play the acoustic guitar 🎸 and sing along. My parents bought me a fancy piano & a fancy acoustic guitar back in high school, and mom took me to my piano and guitar lessons every week.

I’ve been thinking lately of starting to play the guitar again. The problem with playing the guitar is that you end up with a lot of callouses on the finger pads of your left hand. My finger pads are back to being smooth now since I haven’t played the guitar for a long time. You also can’t grow the fingernails long on your left hand, which I am fine with, but then you’re supposed to grow them long on your right hand (or use a pick whenever you strum the guitar), which feels kind of weird…

I used to play the guitar with my family and we’d all sing along. After my dad got transferred back to Taiwan, we compiled a tape recording of many songs of me playing the guitar and us singing along. That tape is still back in Taiwan. I should get it converted into mp3 the next time I’m back in Taiwan.

I feel so happy when I sing. It turns out that singing also stimulates your vagus nerve, which activates your parasympathetic system and helps calm you down. So, that’s definitely a good thing for me.

When I sing, it brings up a lot of emotions deep inside of me, and helps me to express it outwards. A lot of my feelings, thoughts, emotions and deepest desires are inside of my guitar… 💗

Inside of My Guitar

~ The Bellamy Brothers

Now, there’s a place I want to show you
And don’t you know it’s not too far
And there’s a place I want to know you
Inside of my guitar

In my guitar there is a garden
Where rainbows bloom and shine like stars
If you say no, I beg you pardon
Come inside of my guitar

I’ll make you laugh
And make you sing
And we can play among the stars
And we’ll make love and dance beneath the strings
Inside of my guitar

Now, there’s a feeling that I’m after
So please don’t think my love’s bizarre
But I hear music, girl, and laughter
Inside of my guitar

I’ll make you laugh
And make you sing
And we can play among the stars
And we’ll make love and dance beneath the strings
Inside of my guitar

Come inside of my guitar…
