Amplitude

Went for ‘amplitude’, an acapella/choir concert by the nus choir and all the halls in nus. It was quite fun to drop by UCC for a concert after a day of lessons. There are so many such free concerts on campus. I should do this more often!

One particular hall sung so badly to the point it became funny. They did not know how to sing but thought they knew how to sing and sing dramatically badly they did. The overall effect was rather comical in the end. Many people in the audience were either stunned into shock or laughing silently helplessly like I did. But I sincerely thank them for making me laugh so much tonight. They were rather cute despite their horrible singing.

RH choir sung 'the rainbow connection'. I like that song.

Why are there so many songs about rainbows

And what's on the other side?

Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,

And rainbows have nothing to hide.

So we've been told and some choose to believe it

I know they're wrong, wait and see.

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,

The lovers,

the dreamers,

and me.

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered

when wished on the morning star?

Somebody thought of that and someone believed it,

and look what it's done so far.

What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing?

And what do we think we might see?

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,

the lovers,

the dreamers and me.

All of us under its spell,we know that it's probably magic.

Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?

I've heard them calling my name.

Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?

The voice might be one and the same.

I've heard it too many times to ignore it.

It's something that I'm supposed to be.

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,

the lovers,

the dreamers,

and me.
