What do you see?
NDP 2009 is just round the corner. As with every year, an integral part of NDP is the theme song. And this year's theme song is following in the footsteps of recent NDP theme songs. That is, heavily criticized. The tune is too moody, lyrics not good blah blah blah...
But pause. wait a while. and take a closer look. This year's theme song is a ROCK song, as opposed to previous years' pop songs. It may not appeal to the general masses as much as the cheery tunes of pop songs, but that does not mean it's a bad song. In fact, it's a good song. I must admit that when I heard electrico would be composing this year's theme song, I expected something better, but this is good enough. Come on, it's the first real rock song we have for NDP!
So how would i compare this song to past year's songs? If you asked me to rate it, i would give it an 8.5/10. Let's look at past year songs and see how they would compare.
1998 - home, kit chan - 9/10
1999 - together, evelyn and dreamz fm - 9/10
moments of magic, tanya, fann and elsa - 9/10
2000 - shine on me, mavis and jai wahab - 7.5/10
2001 - where i belong, tanya chua - 9/10
2002 - we will get there, stefanie - 9.5/10
2003 - one united people, stefanie - 9/10
a place in my heart, sean wong - 7/10
2004 - home, young voices - 9/10
2005 - reach out for the skies, taufik and rui en - 8/10
2006 - my island home, kaira gong - 8.5/10
2007 - there's no place i'd rather be, kit chan - 6.5/10
will you, various artists - 7.5/10
2008 - shine for singapore, hady mirza - 7.5/10
so yup, as you can tell i disliked 2007's songs. kinda sucked in my opinion. Anyway, there's actually a chinese version for this year's song as well. '就在这里' Bet you didn't know that! yup. it has a mrbrown version too! lol.
Anyway, happy birthday singapore!
