Song Post #1 - 18 Candles

This post actually can be found on my Friendster blog. I figured since i'm gonna do this blog might as well i post it here too. The track was recorded everything from instrument (guitar & keyboard) straight into PC. I'm too broke to invest on a proper set of mixer. Oh yeah, the vocals (which i did horribly) was done on a normal home PC with the factory PC microphone. So i beg your pardon for a lousy job!!! Hey, a thousand screaming fans starts with the first booing, right?

Without further ado, here's the post:

18 Candles
Music: Joshua Lui Lyrics: Crescendo Crew
Crescendo Music 2008(C)

赐你勇敢 去追求梦想的力量
相信自己 别在乎别人眼光
赐你蓝天 让你自在地飞翔
没有乌云 海阔天空大声歌唱

不要害怕 继续发挥你的才华
带着我们的祝福 继续往前走吧

Happy Birthday to you my dear friend
正式见面那一天 注定我们友情不改变
不管 未来的路有多长多远
我们永远 会陪在你身边
Happy Birthday to you my dear friend
未来的路不再远 你心中梦想一定实现
当你回想 我们一切情节
所有快乐 就会在你身边

This song was originally written for Lil Joans A.K.A. Sotong as her birthday present. This song will be sent to some label/ publishing company to see if they would want this song. If all else fails….it fails! hahahaha!!! Probably i’d go indie on this.

This is the road that i have chosen and let this be the first step for all of us in the Crew. A special thanks to ALL Crescendo Crew members for the contribution to this song.

A special mention to Jien Wei (for the verse melody), Kenji (for helping me out with the lyrics arrangements), for the lyrics contributions - Winnie (for the second half of the chorus), Peggie, Sandy (and also helping to pinyin out the words for me, enabling me to sing for the initial demo.) Hugo and Paul. If i left out any names, please forgive me as it has been such a long time and my memory is weakening along with age. T.T

Also thanks to Sandy and Peggie for taking time out to record a female version of the song. Not to forget those who encouraged me on this project. Thanks!!

A link with the song’s excerpt will be up once “The Twins” finish recording it. So keep an eye out here!!!

Hope you like what you hear!

Lots of love,
JL
