Poll: What’s Your Favourite NDP Song Of All Time?
Friday, 27 July, 2007
Y’know, someone should seriously do a nationwide poll on which is the greatest NDP song of all time. (”Nationwide” as in, all 4,553,009 of us S’poreans.)
But since it seems to me like no such census is going to take place in the near future, let me conduct my own:
In your opinion, which is the BEST national [...]
Cycling, Doping, And The Beauty Of France
Friday, 27 July, 2007
Say what you want about how dirty the sport of cycling is. I probably wouldn’t disagree with you.
I can’t think of a sport out there at the moment that, collectively, has a more negative image than the sport of cycling.
And although Denmark’s Michael Rasmussen, the leader of this year’s Tour de France, has not actually [...]
Google Does It Again!
Thursday, 26 July, 2007
I was just musing about our National Day songs a few days back, especially Jimmy Ye’s new song “There’s No Place I’d Rather Be”, and before I knew it, my blog’s hit rate suddenly surges once again due to certain popular search terms.
(This reminds me of one of my earlier posts on the “Dim Sum Dollies”.)
So I did an experiment [...]
“But Nobody Stops To Hear” (Rough Cut)
Thursday, 26 July, 2007
Because the next Songcraft session is just two days away, I decided to start doing some homework and start writing a song!
For some reason, I write songs ten times more easily on the guitar than on the piano (which is the instrument I actually prefer)…but anyway, I was busy strumming away on my acoustic guitar [...]
More On NDP Songs
Wednesday, 25 July, 2007
(This post is a continuation on the previous post on NDP songs, especially Jimmy Ye’s “There’s No Place I’d Rather Be”.)
It’s funny, I was just Googling for some blogs on Jimmy Ye’s NDP song after writing my previous post, and I stumbled upon 2 blog posts which, amazingly, echoed A LOT of my sentiments!
Jzin’s Ramblings - “This Year’s NDP Theme [...]
Jimmy Ye’s National Day Song (a.k.a. “Home” Part II)
Tuesday, 24 July, 2007
Since National Day is around the corner, let’s talk a bit about NDP songs.
…
Jimmy Ye wrote both the music and lyrics to 2 songs for this year’s NDP.
One is called “Will You”, and the other is “There’s No Place I’d Rather Be”. (Some of you might remember that Jimmy Ye used to be a pop singer many [...]
A Cover Of “At My Window” By Ivan
Monday, 23 July, 2007
Ok, this is getting a wee bit crazy.
While I don’t want this blog to turn into a “hey-look-everyone’s-covering-my-songs”-type of blog, I think I really wanna talk about this excellent remake of my song ”At My Window” which Ivan did recently. Not because I think my songs are that great, but because the cover was done really well. Really! [...]
First A Cover…Now A YouTube Music Video
Friday, 20 July, 2007
Ok, first it was Jerron’s (or Kah Loong) cover of “Back Into The Arms”, which I wrote about yesterday.
Today, an even bigger surprise awaited me - A YouTube music video based on Jerron’s cover of my song!!!
Lovingly (and very quickly, I must add) done by Bizzi, who is someone I know pretty well.
What next? [...]
