I look through all the wedding albums but couldn't find any song that I like rather than the usual cannon d or my valentine. So I walked pass the display rack with your Fallen album on the rack. I looked at your album, thinking:" this girl, great voice, appear on 新光大道before, used to be the accapalla for ah mei and 陶喜喜. Finally album is out, proud Singaporean."br / br / I picked up the headphones, not intending to find any songs suitable but just want to listen to your voice.. Then I listen till track 6 where you sang 'I'll stand by you'br / br / I was mesmerize... Your clear bright voice with a unique feel singing: I'll stand by you.... I'll stand by you..... br / br / I closed my eyes and fascinating that me and my husband walking into the ball room with your song in the background. The atmospher will be excellent! It's gonna be perfect!br / br / I want to make sure my choice is right. So I asked my fiancé to listen. At first he was reluctant, not very sure who you are. He put on the headphone and I repeat track 6... He gave me a puzzled 'are you sure' look and I smiled back to ensure him.. 5 seconds into the song, he smiled at me and nod his head... We know we found the perfect song for our wedding march in...br / br / We were about to buy your album then realize the song is too short for march in... We really liked your version of singing I'll stand by you. But we want a longer version. I search online, YouTube, blog everywhere for a longer version but couldn't find... br / br / I really wish to play your voice on our first march in. Is there anyway I can buy or download the full version of that song..?br / br / I can only get original album as there are copy right issue for hotel... br / br / I seek your help and hope for your favorable reply...br / br / *you made Singapore proud. Pls continue to share your beautiful voice..br / br / Regards,br / XXXbr /br /----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------br /br /br /My first response was,br /I didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.br /br /I was very touched by her long message and sincere appreciation of my work,br /and also honoured that she would choose it for one of the most important moments in her life,br /as her march-in song for her wedding night.br /br /But CD buying is no longer anyone's lifestyle nor habit. br /Even to contemplate buying a CD seemed like a far stretch,br /no matter how much you liked a certain track.br /There was always somewhere you could download it from,br /or you could satiate that bugging earworm on YouTube.br /br /It seems silly to want to buck this trend of non-purchasebr /by screaming "Support Original!
