Bevlyn's Thoughts: 天天想你 (Thinking of you everyday)

I seldom perform at Mandarin Orchard's main ballroom (previously Meritus Mandarin), and upon entering the ballroom, I was quickly reminded of how beautiful and breath-taking the ballroom is; there's just something about the ambience (and maybe lightings). Anyway, an exciting night awaited us as it was a 5-pc band combination - Rudy and I on vocals, Sharon on piano, Boon Chye on saxophone, and Melvin on bass guitar. We were raring to perform!

During soundcheck and rehearsal, I quickly stepped up to Roy to throw him the challenge of serenading his wife with a song. His friends immediately hyped up and rally around to throw him song suggestions, poor Roy replied me, “I only know sad songs...”. :/

I left him to his own brainstorm, but I was delighted when he came back to me with a song choice, “天天想你” (Thinking of you everyday). The lyrics for the 1st verse wasn't so appropriate, so he started singing the song from verse 2:

当我徘徊在深夜
你在我心田
你的每一句誓言
回荡在耳边

隐隐约约 闪动的双眼
藏着你的羞怯
加深我的思念
两颗心的交界
你一定会看见
只要你愿意走向前

天天想你 天天问自己
到什么时候才能告诉你
天天想你 天天守住一颗心
把我最好的爱留给你

Honestly, I was stunned when I heard Roy's singing for the first time! If I had not gotten him to sing, I would have beaten myself up. But the most touched person in the ballroom had to be Jasmine. I still remember, when we announced that Roy was going to sing a song for her, she exclaimed,” OH MY GOD!!” Soon after he started singing, Jasmine's eyes swelled with tears... (I am not exaggerating!)

With the 3 instruments cooking up a musical storm, Rudy and I enjoyed performance very much. Rudy's smooth vocals totally melted me on “Sea of love”, “Brown eyed girl” and “The first the last, my everything”. I look forward to pairing up with him again! ;)

Congratulations to Roy and Jasmine, may you cherish each other and enjoy everlasting bliss in your marriage! :)
