It has been a while since my last post on MUSIC.

Since I'll be performing together with SYB tomorrow night for Kuala Lumpur Young Lawyers Committee (KLYLC) Charity Night 2013 (more details at the end of this post), I think it is high time for me to share the story of last year's performance on my blog.

When I was invited to sing with a band consisting of lawyers in my husband's firm last year, they wanted to do something upbeat. I straight away thought of Zombie. Other than the music, I especially like the lyrics and the message behind the 1994 hit song. I remember pretending and imagining that I was singing this song in front of a large crowd with my cousins when I was about 10 or 11. So finally being able to perform Zombie with a live band in front of plus minus 700 people was like a dream come true.

And of course the Cranberries is also one of my all-time favourite bands since I was 10 years old. I wrote about my love for the Cranberries in one of my earlier posts in this blog Music When I Was Younger : I back in 2009.

I was nervous though. I have performed in front of large crowds before but usually I perform slow songs not rock songs. Plus, I was not actually well that day. I had morning sickness so my energy levels at that time was not normal. However, I remember we really had fun performing the song.

The KL Bar Young Lawyers Charity Night 2012 was held on 12 October 2023 (12.10.12) at Neverland, Jalan Kia Peng and featured performances by young lawyers competing to raise the most funds for charity.

The band name is called SYB. I don't know what it stands for. I sang Zombie by the Cranberries and That's What You Get by Paramore.

Our performance was our cry against war, violence, oppression and discrimination. We want it to stop. Peace! Spread love! 

 

Above is the video of our cover of Zombie by the Cranberries by SYB featuring me for Young Lawyers Charity Night on 12th October 2012. 

We had to do some sound checking at the beginning of the performance so the song starts at 2.0 minutes.  Sorry for the quality of the video. It was taken by my brother from my Galaxy Note. A bunch of professional lawyers but amateur performers putting on a show for a good cause. It wasa lot of fun though.

Below is our cover for That's What You Get by Paramore.

That's what you get when you let your heart win. Whoa~ Our live cover. 

Lawyers work extremely hard but they are a sporting bunch when they loosen up. The audience and atmosphere that night was simply electric!
