10th August 2005@Esplande….Corrinne May’s Live in Concert…. SOLD OUT *Naturally*
How did the concert go??… The band came on and started strumming some melody, distinctively Same side of the moon, and then Corrinne May came on stage, she looks so stunning, tall…boy oh boy, I absolutely love her hair!!!! Introduction of her band members…and her Hubby, Kavin… One nice things throughout the concert, Corrinne bothers to relate how each song meant to her, what’s her inspirations on penning the song, etc.
I find it especially thoughful for her to do so. Initially, she was kinda shy..perhaps stage fright or something but as the songs goes by she became really passionate with each and every song she sang and needlessly to say everyone inside the concert hall was moved by her music. I really really like her rendition of the song “same side of the moon’- Due where we were seated, I could really see how much emotion she puts into each and every songs she sang.
I will try to see what I can recall the sequence of her music…Some of her thoughts share in some of the songs….all in she did 22 songs including the evergreen Close to you by Carole King…Anyhow, just sharing some of her inspirations in music and how it relates a little to me…. Same Side of the Moon- She talks about life in LA and missing the folks here in Singapore. A soulful rendition of the song it was. It just reminds me how much I missing someone…
How soulful was her rendition! Unbeatable I say! Free Here, Corrinne was a little funny when she mention about things been free and such..free cheese at some LA supermarket….It makes me think of an internet joke about Singaporean, it will be too long to be posted. Interested? Read on… Little Super Girl- Corrinne relates about the power puff gals as well as being and NCC cadet a long time before. I was an NCC cadet, a cadet lieutenant in fact..Well, that’s ancient history Mr Beasley One of Corrinne May’s earliest song….she wrote according to her. This goes out to the guys at the concert hall..Seriously, I don’t being her Mr Beasley if I ever get a chance….or even tattooing her name on my behind as she sung If I kissed you…
Happy Birthday Corrinne forgot her lines twice or did she? I am not too sure, it seems like it was her own special way to establish rapport with the audience. In any case, if she did forget her lyrics…she still managed to get herself away with it very well, superb in fact. The ‘library crowd’ should know what I mean. Anyhow, it was really sweet of her to dedicate this song to Singapore on her 40th Birthday..well, you can be sure that’s the one song I like to hear on my own birthday…. Stay on the road
The song about persistence…no matter the distance, stay on the road….Well, that’s what she shared for this particular song….
Fall to fly
How intelligent of her to relate fall to fly to the red lion parachute team we see each and every national day…”I lean back and just let go….I can fall to fly…”….
Walk away
This song was sort of like requested by someone within the concetrt hall, well, I could remember months back I sort of send this song to one of my pal when she wanted to commit sucide over her breakup with her guy…Thankful, this song sort of did it for her…Today, she still alive and well got over it…I supposed.
After the concert, queued with ES and Crystal for about an hour but well worth the wait, Corrinne was really humble that she bothers to stand up to pose for a picture with us…that’s explains how I got the above photos. I got my CDs signed too. Still cannot forget her smilez. Laterz….
