The Beauty of Music
When I was in primary school, I learnt a song called 'Music Shall not Perish'.
Back then being a little foreign girl, I dont understand what is the meaning of perish. I dont even bother to look up for it in the dictionary; however, after the teacher explained what it meant, I realised that its true...although I have never thought that the meaning will be much more valuable now that I had grown so much and had listened to new songs (and occassionally returning back to old songs) along the way.
I remember back then, I was so intrigued with these phrase which said something like music alone shall live, music alone shall live, music shall not perish. and due to this, I really feel that (now with my language is much better haha) it is true that MUSIC shall live and shall not perish that easily!
Unfortunately, as the time goes by, I began to lose touch of this value of old songs as I listen to the new ones along the way. But that phrase that was once my favourite quote came back to me a few days ago when my cousin and I, despite of the silence of the night and the workload before us decided to listen to some old songs.
I realised that those old songs that we used to listen to did not only brought back old memories (mostly the good ones =p) it also brought laughter and happiness as we reminisced about the past such as those 'sadis' moment when we were still young and stupid... LOL.
The tune of the song that was used by the singers then, as well as their attire and dance movement or make up; and how we as the fans followed their footsteps dressing up and behaving like them also made our stomach giggles.
We remembered how, when we... the whole Macpherson Famliy went crazy over F4 and their meteor garden song and drama. Or how we...the whole pack of us (even the mommies) went to watch their first concert here in Singapore Indoor Stadium. (Lol) until all our fathers were freaking angry with us. That was so funny... (kalo nga salah bantal dgn gambar Jerry Yan kayanya masih ada tuh di kamar paling atas hahaha) even now when my aunt heard Jerry Yan's song Wo si zhen de zhen de hen ai ni, she still laughed out loud. I wonder what will my mom react...She used to buy his merchandise and VCDs for us LOL.
Next, the big stars that we loved were A1, Nsync,Westlife, as well as the current King of Taiwanese Pop, Jay Zhou.
I remember how we; everytime we went back to Indonesia would go to Safari Karaoke/ Happy Puppy to sing all their famous songs such as Westlife's If I let you go, or Nsync, 'This I Promise You' and the FAMOUS all girls (and maybe guys ) favourite 'EVERYTIME' by A1!
HAHA! It was hilarious. Especially when I think back how I used to go around from one CD store to another in search of Nsync's Tearing up my Heart CD. (Back then besides Westlife and A1, I love NSYNC the most! I LOVE LOVE LOVE NSYNC! I followed their dance movement, even until now I still try to follow whenever I listen to It's Gonna be Me' hehe , I bought JC's puppet doll, I bought their live vcds, their cds, their biograpy books etc. etc.)
Listening to these old songs too, beginning to make me get excited once again on how everyone will be reacting when we played it on 5th November 2010.
I hope these songs that I will be playing, from The Moffats, "I'll be There for You" till Savage Garden's 'Trully Madly Deeply' or M2M 'Don't say you Love Me' as well as Backstreet's Boys 'Everybody' (or All I have to give) is not only going to make people reminisce and laugh about the past, but also allows the music to be revived once again as it plays its role in placing itself a place in our hearts once again.
Somehow, I feel that by listening to these old songs, reminds me of meeting an old friend.
As if there's so many things that I want to hear and feel and get shared with.
So...I really can't wait right now for the day to come when I will be playing these songs loudly to everyone =)
Hopefully, before we all parted...we could have a crazy fun once again together with Macpherson home.
Finally, through this experience, I was also glad that I was allowed to experience such joy once again. The joy of listening to the music that was once dear to me and now making more sense than when I was still clueless about what they were singing about.
And then also the joy...of hearing the voices of the singers I used to love once again, as well as the feeling of how each time they released a new album we got all excited and each time we managed to buy it, we felt so very happy. (How I could grabbed hold of Nsync's CD/ Westlife's for the first time).
WOOOHHH ANYWAY, YOU ROCKZ SINGERS! YOU PEOPLE JUST ROCKS! and I guess this is what people meant about THE BEAUTY OF MUSIC =)
