Home is where the heart is.

For those who chances upon this small blog, this guy over here resides in Singapore and we just recently pulled off another huge celebration (known as National Day Parade) for our country's birthday (9th August). Thought I'd bring out another one of homegrown band and musicians to mark the occasion.

This is a loving cover put together by The Sam Willows and Josh Wei (on violins). The original was sang by Kit Chan and performed in the 2000s during NDP. Somehow, this and along some other songs withstood the test of time and is now one of Singapore's favorite song to sing at the NDP.

I gotta agree, the recent songs churned out for the recent NDPs have been shite and not the least memorable. Well, what can you expect of the quality of songs if the tradition is to come up with a new song to sing for every NDP? People will grow tired of it. It's best if you keep it simple and remix it. Like what you do ever year.

Anyway, you should dig The Sam Willows. They do like folk songs with beautiful vocals. (all four of them sings) And I gotta go. Rushing for time. Sorry for the short sentences. This is typing without editing. Damn.

Happy 49th birthday, Singapore.
