My Singapore (My NDP Song in 2008)

[alenabenson]

we both live in uk my wife is from singapore we love this song from chad and alena benson

[mayorcasterbridge]

@alenabenson Thanks Chad and Alena. I'm really glad you like it.

[polkadotbear]

this is such a beautiful song! but the range is a little too challenging to become a 'jia yu hu xiao' song! ): ohwell! still vvv wonderful anyway! :D

[mayorcasterbridge]

@polkadotbear Thanks very much!

[SayMeGirl]

NICE :)

[colettetanhx1993]

THIS IS SO COOL! You can be the a composer!!! :D Did you sing the song??

[acmedia01]

Obviously, some NDP songs such as COUNT ON ME SINGAPORE and the Pledge affected you. I feel the new NDP songs always copy the olds' style and lyrics.

[benzrulez1969]

SINGAPORE TILL I DIE!

we proud of our history!!!

[314noceu]

OMG could you suck Singapore's cock any harder? This is propaganda! Wonderful! Love it!

[yellowdollyphin]

You're welcome. (:

[yellowdollyphin]

This is an amazing song.

Wonderful voice, meaningful lyrics and the best attitude ever.

You did a fantasitc job.

I really love this song and I absolutely love Singapore. (:

Well done! ^^

[mayorcasterbridge]

Thanks very much for your kind comments. I am truly flattered.

[liverpoolynwaz]

i was amazed the singer was able to go that high.

[bluem00nkid]

i like the melody n lyrics but no offence... this song shouldn't be sung by a suprano ba? i think it doesn't fit thou betty's song is great

[tansuzanna]

i like your singing but you really created your song on your own?

[mayorcasterbridge]

Yep I created the song, and I came up with the lyrics as well as the piano arrangements. However, the song was sung by my friend Betty.

[Jasonng72]

I chanced upon this video. To be honest, I like the song. It is appealing in terms of music arrangement and meaningful words. Are both of you in some choir or something. Great voice and I will sing it if it comes on next year.

[mayorcasterbridge]

Haha, thanks very much for the kind words. Appreciate it. Yep I'm in a choir, but I didn't sing this song. I only wrote it. It was sung by my friend Betty. I'm sure she'd be delighted to hear of your compliments about her voice.

[wendyneo]

This one not by me:

Dont say I am only here to promote my video. haha!

[wendyneo]

You can sing well. The lyrics is meaningful too. Unfortunately, Singapore does not belong to us anymore. One day, we must and we will take it back!

I certainly hope no one is going to comment that I am not a patriot. PAP is NOT Singapore :)

[CutiieGerGer]

nicee !

[ccakho]

somewhat i think this song is even better than the real NDP song this year. However, it may not fit into the theme that set by the ministry for the NDP?

[mayorcasterbridge]

Thank you for the compliments. You are too kind! Yup, I guess the theme might not fit in that nicely. I basically wrote a generic NDP song...didn't have any particular theme in mind.

[emergencyliketragic]

You love singapore alot! :D

Hope maybe your get choosen for like next year's NDP or something.

Happy birthday Singapore!

[mayorcasterbridge]

Oh, I'm just happy to do my part for Singapore in whatever small way I can, haha! Yup Happy Birthday Singapore!

[hchonge]

Hi ... ... I Myaself Perform for NDP'08 Combined School Choir !! However , I Think Maybe You Can Try Invite A Good Choir To Sing This Song And Mayb It Will Have Good Effect !!! Maybe You Should Create Differe nt Part For Suprano , Alto , Tenor , Bass In Choir It It So Well Until I Hope There Is A Choir Version !! Haha ... ... Keep Up The Good Work !!!

[mayorcasterbridge]

Thank you kindly, hchonge. I haven't dared imagine this song being sung by a choir, but it would certainly be a dream come true if it really did happen, haha!

[chaingang90]

very nice,,,, but to be honest, it seems a little bit out dated in temrs of style. would lack appeal to youths

[mayorcasterbridge]

Hi chaingang90, yup you're right...I guess I'm an old fashioned person, haha! I tend to prefer older style of music. Thanks for your comments.

[pianogal]

this song not bad.the voice also good.keep it up!

[mayorcasterbridge]

Thanks pianogal. The vocals were by my friend, and I did the piano part.

[tansuzanna]

i love your song i will sing it if it is a ndp song congratulations i like your song it is better than the Shine for Singapore! CONGRATS

[mayorcasterbridge]

Thank you very much! Really appreciate your kind words.

[mayorcasterbridge]

Hi Hamsterina9881, well I composed it, but the song was sung by my friend Betty. Thank you for the compliments, and I shall convey your kind words to Betty! I'm sure she'll be delighted.

[nonnawellohello]

This is fantastic. Good effort!!! :D

[mayorcasterbridge]

Thank you nonnawellohello!

[wuffieandmoo]

wow...you must be good in music!!!:] i really envy you...i dun think i can write such a nice song

[mayorcasterbridge]

Hi wuffieandmoo, thanks for the kind words but I believe anyone can write nice songs...it's just a matter of working at it. Thanks once again.

[hoshun]

Good effort on the composition :)

Though the lyrics are a bit cheesy lol. But I don't think it could be written in any other way :P

[mayorcasterbridge]

Thanks hoshun! Yeah, I opted to go for the cheesy (and safe) lyrics, haha!

[sherrie144]
