gosh i'm really feeling very tired. anyway the main purpose of this post is abt choir. okay. abt the song.all this while i've been singing Life Defends like just another song. yes i did try to inject emotions, but it was just sounding very void and empty. (cant really blame us cos we werent told the translation yet)yest jac told gave us the translation of the song. it's basically something like this.Life Defends
Life defends,
Life defends life.
By risking life,
Life defends life.
With no word but just a cry,
with no weapon
but just a body of your own,
Life defends.
There is no deception,
There is no leniency.
There is no deception,
There is no leniency.
Life fights,
Fights against life-
For the sake of a new life,
For the sake of a new life.
i personally feel the lyrics are really really meaningful. maybe it's just me, maybe i'm just an emo freak, but jac first told us the translation i nearly cried. i was tearing actually. think about the lyrics. they're really philosophical actually. when jac told us the second time with the whole choir, i really felt the emotions rising in me. i actually understood what we were supposed to convey. then. they turned all the lights off and since i memorised and a few of us too we closed our eyes. and sang. technically it wasnt perfect. actually it was far from perfect, we still have a lot to work on. but i felt(and everyone else too) that it was the best combined we've ever sung for this song. you could hear the emotions, the phrasing, -i just dont know how to put it in words- it felt so good. just. good(:
