Just back from David DOr's concert in esplanade. He has a fantastic voice and his genre is versatile, but somehow the melody and rhythm didn't leave a lingering effect in my mind, maybe due to the switching of so many different styles tonight.
Though one of his song did give me a kick in my heart. "Like A Garden", a song about cultivating mind like a garden, inspired by Ven. Cheng Yen, is simple, dhamma, and contemporary, yes rock and roll man. Few years back while I was at the CT Harvest church Xmas party, I ask myself why there's no contemporary band that plays dhamma songs in contemporary music? Tonight I felt that David DO'r did it - not over holy smoly nor trying hard to be contemporary - just natural as it is.
That kick strengthen my determination to do something too, I want to write apps for iphone & android like daily pop up of Buddha Vacana..
