Love Song for Singapore (2025 Edition) MV

Details

Description

This song was written way back in August 2008 for National Day 2008, by Marc Nair and myself, for the mrbrown show podcast.

And then we were invited to perform our sketches and songs live at Singapore Day 2009, in London.

Amazingly, many in the Singapore crowd who watched us at London, knew every word and SANG ALONG. We were beyond chuffed.

For SG60, we decided to release this 2025 edition, with help from James Lye, our Music Producer.

We hope the song resonates with you as it did way back in 2008.

Marc played the guitar for this, as he did in the original, and sang the backup vocals.

Love Song for Singapore (2005 Edition)

Verse 1
The trains they come and go
Filled with faces I don't know
Sometimes they don't stop for me
I live near Bukit Brown MRT
The city's changing every day
I saw a new gantry on the way
That is why I sold my car
Why the bus stop so damn far

Pre-chorus 1
You took so much from me
Got no cash to take taxi

Chorus 1
But I'm still in love with you
But I'm still in love with you
And when I grow old
And don't do what I'm told
I will still be in love with you

Verse 3
I can't afford a holiday
Everything has gone up but my pay
Can't go out with all my friends
Can't afford the latest fashion pants

Verse 4
You promised me paradise
Overflowing with abundant rice
I used to go for lunch buffet
Now my breakfast half a Yew Char Guay

Pre-chorus 2
You took so much from me
Got no cash to go high tea

Chorus 2
But I'm still in love with you
But I'm still in love with you
And when I grow old
Promise me you won't turn cold
Cos I’ll still be in love with you

Pre-chorus 3
You took so much from me
Got no cash but I'm happy

Chorus 1
I am still in love with you
I am still in love with you
And when I grow old
And don't do what I'm told
I will still be in love with you
