about

Good day everybody,

This is Fauxe here from Singapore and today is National Day in my country.

It's also the first day I'm coming out as a composer with the music i make. Words and labels are nothing but a way for me to articulate the specific roles of what i do with music. & here is a piece i wrote which is off a song composed by Dick Lee and sung by Kit Chan for our National Day here in Singapore.

This song is written for a 10 piece choir (5 hi and 5 low voices), a classical guitar and 4 piece strings.

Here is the output of my venture written and recorded over a week long period.

lyrics

Whenever I am feeling low
I look around me and I know
There's a place that will stay within me
Wherever I may choose to go
I will always recall the city
Know every street and shore
Sail down the river which brings us life
Winding through my Singapore
This is home truly, where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me, where the river always flows
This is home surely, as my senses tell me
This is where I won't be alone, for this is where I know it's home
When there are troubles to go through
We'll find a way to start anew
There is comfort in the knowledge
That home's about its people too
So we'll build our dreams together
Just like we've done before
Just like the river which brings us life
There'll always be Singapore
This is home truly, where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me, where the river always flows
This is home surely, as my senses tell me
This is where I won't be alone, for this is where I know it's home
This is home truly, where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me, where the river always flows
This is home surely, as my senses tell me
This is where I won't be alone, for this is where I know it's home
For this is where I know it's home
For this is where I know I'm home
