Wallahi. I AM SO ANNOYED that the Blogspots youtube downloader couldnt find the video to be attached. grrr. Ive type every single thing possible but lo and behold. It gave me all sorts of OTHER videos, but no. non of this. TSK
anyway, DO FIND TIME to listen to this alright. to all those music majors out there, or atleast for all those who had learnt music, I hope and I think you would definitely love this version of the Singapore Song. it IS sad no doubt, but its beautiful MasyAllah. kinda remind me of those Japanese Anime movies I used to watched. If you're an arden fan of it, you'll probably know Joe Hisaishi and his beautiful pieces of composition. teehee
Im sorry. Im not encouraging you to listen to music or whatsoever. but then National Day is just around the corner. and I just happened to came across this on facebook posted by my ex band mates. YES I WAS A BAND/ORCHESTRA member though I may not look like it lol. You have no idea how much I miss playing/making beautiful sounds with a group of people who understands as much as you do the beautiful language of music when it talks to you.
The way it ties the bonds of the heart together
The way it was created, so magically amazing when everyone put their hearts in together.
I lived by this when I was a musician.
ONE BAND. ONE SOUND. ONE SOUL.
*Viva La Musica
yep. Pasir Ris Secondary Concert Band ftw *grins*
they build me up, they made me strong. they taught me to appreciate the beautiful meaning of friendship cum family. all those days of practicing non-stop. all those tears and hugs and scoldings we shared. all those laughters and happiness we went through. NOTHING could ever. EVER compare to those memories.
but well. thats the past. the trip to Hong Kong with the seniors and the trip to Genting afterwards with juniors. it'll be etched in my heart, in my head, in my soul in my whatever. ALWAYS. <3
well yeap. ALHAMDULLILAH. I thank Allah for all those times. because indeed. those were all built upon the heartbreaks and fights and sadness and loss I encountered during those days. I had dreaded going to school each day, but because of my band family, I survived. It was a time when it was the hardest in life, but also the happiest. Ironic isnt it? but Im glad. really. Alhamdullilah (all praises to Allah). for He knows me best, and He gave me the best. and without all those years. I WOULD NOT have been where I am today. so indeed. All that happens, is for a good reason ^^
yes minor key sounds sad, but its beautiful <3 and after all these years, I would say, this version of "Count on me Singapore" would probably suit more now to as how I feel being a Singaporean at times. gone were those days; sad indeed that we've lost our "roots". All those places we spent time in growing up; its all been changed. I hardly even recognised the places I live in anymore. nor the people it seems, they dont even look nor feel the same anymore. the thought of migrating even seems even scarier now. It'll probably be as such that one day when i come back, i would not even recognise my "Singapore Town". How could it be "This is home, truly. Where I know I must be..." anymore? How would I know "Where I belong, where i keep my heart and soul" is at? Yes, when I hear the words "There was a time when people said Singapore wont make it, but we did" Ive never felt so thankful that im living in a country with no means of war but the next line, "There was a time, when trouble seems too much for us to take, but we did"... are we going to return to those times in future? With the drastic changes that moves with time, perhaps it is only right to keep up with the technologies and updates and buisness and whatsoever for the benefit of the country, I dont know. but throwing/changing our heritages like the "MODERN GEYLANG"; where is it that we belong anymore? With all these modern changes and to suit too much accomodations of people of other citizenship, I just hope in future, we can still "Stand up for Singapore". I would say. Thank you for "thinking for the benefits of us" in safety, health and concern. it is much appreciated for all the conviniences (atleast in your opinion) but how about recognising feelings now also? </3
Thats that. And for all other; sorry I had been mia, lifes been hectic lol.
Nevertheless. I hope it is still not too late
SELAMAT HARI RAYA, MAAF ZAHIR BATIN
TAQABALLAHU MINNA WA MINKUM.
