Well I always loved Corrine May because of her voice. Twice I wanted to go to her concert at Esplanade but its either sold out or I am just not able to make it for the date.
Finally this time Corrine May was asked to write song for NDP. I was excited. But after listening to the song I realised the song was too slow and not very suitable as a NDP song. I personally felt that NDP song should be faster tempo and sound happier. Somehow the song sounded too slow and boring for me and many of my friends. I do hope there is a faster version. Most of my friends commented the song is too sleepy which I quite agree.
Furthermore the lyrics itself needs some improvements as the word "Singapore" was used far too many times :S
Lyrics:
It’s a brand new day, a brand new story I remember the way it used to be We’ve come so far.You’re my history, you’re my beginning In all I’ve done I’ve been nurtured in your arms And you’ve carried me this far I want to sing, sing a song for Singapore with every generation there’s more to be grateful for So come and sing, sing a song for Singapore You’re my brother, you’re my sister, I’m thankful for my Singapore My Singapore, my Singapore. Come together everybody Fly the flag and share our story Live our wildest dreams Celebrate the red and white The moon and stars in harmony unite Let every colour every heart Come on and sing,sing a song for Singapore with every generation there’s more to be grateful for So come and sing sing a song for Singapore You’re my brother, you’re my sister ,I’m thankful for my Singapore My Singapore, my Singapore We’ve had our ups and downs Sometimes the best things are taken for granted You’re my family, you’re my home.
