I'm not a person who listens to music very much. My favourite music albums consists of West End Musical soundtracks and old disney songs... quite pathetic right?
I've listened to the most new music this holiday. :p One big reason was that I've been poking my nose in the sing-a-long sessions at Westend Project (this is the Singapore Westend :p a MINDS Youth group project for the Intellectually Disabled). The first sing-a-long was in conjunction with LIVE EARTH (yes... this has got to do with my drive for meaning, there must be a reason why we want to sing a song). I listened to Madonna's Hey you! so many times, I've started to like it :p Like my volunteer senior said, the lyrics are meaningful. Still, I thought the melody could be zestier. Today's sing-a-long will be for national day :p. I've been talking about the national day songs with my mother, my sister and my friends... I LOVE national day songs and I LOVE to sing a long to them. But the response from most people has been less than luke-warm. While I see crowds of people at National Day parade swaying in enjoyment to those classic and most recent songs, a survey of my family and friends make it seem like I'm a small minority.
oh well... different people have different opinions. For people who I have not surveyed, or have not had time to listen to the newest, or from the UK, go visit the link below :> {to my good friend who is into trying new music, and a big bollywood fan, and wanted me to bring some of the music from my region over: maybe you will be interested in listening to these}

My favourite National Day songs:
(My 5 cats Gang and I had a discussion on that... hehe you gals will be glad to know that I've found the name of my favourite song, the one I could not name*)
The Magic is You*
It's the Little Things
Will You
There's no place I'd Rather be
We will get there
AND the children's day song :> Semoga Bahagia (May you Achieve Happiness)
A few good friends at Uni love going to music festivals. They definitely know all the newest coolest music. I was with them at one jamming session and they are really good :p 1 friend even joined a band comp at Uni before. I always feel I need to educate myself in this area... haha :p Another friend at my UK volunteer group once teased me about not knowing what songs David Bowie sang (that's the person we were talking about right? hmmm...). haha sometime really needs to be changed.
