let the music heal your soul

i went with a couple of frens to hmv over the weekend cause i felt the need to buy cds again. it's been so long since i bought a disc. what with all the illegal downloading going on, it's difficult to fork out cold hard cash for something you know you can get for zilch.

i was browsing through the store searching for lunarin's cd cause tham reminded me that jonathan bought the cd a couple of months back which reminded me i had wanted to get the a copy for myself. tham caught sight of lunarin's cd even before i did and because of that, i was directed to the regional section in hmv. now that section contains lots of stuff from the local scene. while browsing through the section, i found a treasure that had eluded me since last year - rafe's ep! the ep contained the song 'everything' which i had wanted to get since end '05 when i first heard the song on the radio. i didnt even know that they had a cd out already. 'everything' is a beautiful single. kind of reminds me of the time when i first heard electrico's 'i want you' on the radio. quality song, full of passion. it speaks to me of the innocence of love. take away all the games that people play when it comes to relationships, and you have the song. it gives me hope that i may find that myself one day.

rafe's ep was not the only treasure i unearthed at hmv. i found another local band's mini-album of sorts - bonafide vintage flav'r! hip-hop group whose ex-member happens to be taufik batisah pre-singapore idol. i wanted to get the album for the single 'feels good'. it's a nice hip-hop number, excellent for chilling at pubs/clubs with a beer in hand and friends to chat with. i guess rock is still the genre of choice for me. don't ask me why but all the raw emotions only come to me whenever i listen to rock numbers.

drop me a msg on msn if you want the songs, i'll be generous and spread the love under the guise of propagating local music.
