I wanted to do that again but, when I went to look for chants, I didn't want to do it in the exact same way.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Record stores have whole sections devoted to the chant.
So I started chanting when I was nineteen, which was about twelve years ago, and it really had a huge impact on my outlook, happiness, and general creativity.
I got that idea from being in India. I always like the chanting.
It's the perfect environment for prayer. Chanting in Greek... is like a beautiful opera, but way better.
Orthodox chanting is non-emotional; it's very monotone.
Crowds respond to anthemic choruses.
I sing all the time. But maybe nobody's hearing it, because I'm singing in my car or in my house or whatever. I don't need the roar of the crowd, and I don't need to hear cheers to feel validated.
As far as how I expressed 'practice, practice, practice' over and over again, I wouldn't take that back because, obviously, that sound bite is great for the media and for the fans, because they love it.
It's a unique thing to stand in front of a crowd and sing your songs.
Chanting is a simple practice. When you notice you are thinking about something else during the chant, let go of the thought and come back home, to the chant, to that place where we are expressing our inner purity.
