Just got back from Corrinne May's concert at NUS concert hall, this is the second time I've gone to her performance, first time was at Esplanade.
Singing three (or four) songs from her next album alongside some from "Fly Away" and "Safe In A Crazy World", Corrinne captivated the attentive and responsive audience with her sincere and passionate singing. To lighten the atmosphere, she recalled her saying at the previous concert that the concert hall was quiet and it sounded like a library. She also mentioned about a video which her friend sent her, where a group of little girls and boys performed "Little Superhero Girl".
As a singer-songwriter, Corrinne has written most (if not all) of her songs herself, with some help here and there from her experienced and trustworthy friends. Each of her enchanting, mesmerising and uplifting songs have been carefully written with her outmost passion and love for music, with inspiration from her family, friends and environment.
After a little more than one and a half hours, Corrinne left the stage. Of course we (the audience) weren't gonna let her go without an encore. Noticing the band was still there, we just kept on clapping and she finally re-appeared with two more of her inspirational songs. Unfortunately it had to come to an end and everyone reluctantly left the concert hall. I'm really looking forward to her next album and concert especially, and I'm sure many others who know her are as well.
At times when I'm really down, all I have to do is listen to her and I'll be fine again. Her songs can really do that to you if you can and know how to appreciate them. They just have an inexplicable way of reaching into your heart and touching it.
To those who do not have her albums, please purchase both of them. Take some time off your busy daily schedule, clear everything else off your mind, sit down and just listen. Sing along to the lyrics and you'll see what I mean, I promise. =)
