Creative-Sunday || Lamb Of God - Nicole C. Mullen (cover) by @jessicaossom

Music has a power that’s hard to put into words. It can make us feel things we didn’t know we were capable of feeling, and even help us find our voice. Do you agree with me?

Recently, I went on a musical journey that allowed me to connect with a song that’s meant so much to me over the years, 'Lamb of God' by Nicole C. Mullen. It’s always been such an emotional and beautiful song, which is why I’ve admired it so much as a music enthusiast. And now today, I’m finally able to sing it myself.

My first attempt to sing it was in the year 2021 at my church during the Christmas Carol period. Being a lover of good music, I took my time to score the song when I was asked to lead it at the time.

At that time, however, there was still a big challenge for me, and that was stage fright. I am not saying that I no longer have stage fright, but I am in control now, rather than allowing the fear to control me.

Even though I tried my best to score the song so I would sing it well, I just wasn't able to project well, and stage fright ruined everything.

However, I never forgot about the song, it still exists in my memory. I kept singing it in my head, trying to remember the lyrics and the melody. I was determined to sing the song better the next time I had the chance. I haven't had the chance yet though.

As I sang the song today, I felt like I could achieve something because I had always thought about singing it, but when I thought about the technicalities, I dropped the idea of singing it, and here we are.

After recording several audio recordings before I got the final output, the first one I sang sounded flat and didn't make the song appealing to the ear. The perfectionist in me was forced out of me at that moment, and I began singing and singing until I found the one that I could still manage.

As a perfectionist, I am aware of how that part of me can hinder me in some situations, which is why I try to eliminate that aspect of myself. I try to focus on the process and remind myself that it's okay to make mistakes. I also focus on enjoying the journey and not getting hung up on the end result. It's important to have fun and enjoy the process.

After syncing my two audio recordings and making some other adjustments, I felt at that point that I could still publish the post for today's creative Sunday. I almost gave up on the song.

Inshot suddenly made my video editing awkward; the video didn't sync with the audio no matter how hard I tried, so I had to use an alternative video editing app known as Inshot.

So far, the Kinemaster app has been great. I love the features.

Thanks for coming by today. I wish you all a fantastic week ahead.
