state of mind

humming: "say u love me all around the world....just say u love me"
the lyric is stuck in my head. it humms automatically when ever i switch the play button. old songs has it's sentimental value i can never learn to describe in words. not now. not ever. some of it has the most impact on me than the rest of the songs i know from this millenium. not to mention the lovely well written lyrics. and the beautiful angelic voices.
the world is changing into some random voice pit stop. take malaysia for instant. everyone is trying so hard to gain back the gloriest era of our local music industry. but so far none has succeeded to make a diff. why do i say so? we cant even commercialize our industry outside of malaysia. accept for siti nurhaliza la. but what happened to the new comers? to all the provoking AF candidates? malaysian idol? they were famous just because of the shows' publisity and afterwards...everything comes to a pitch black. so quiet. even we can here the cicak clicking...(i guess thats what its called...ahahaha).
and most that made the way up... well sorry to say but it's so understated. so NOT BEST. and commercial value is low. cant blame our generations if we prefer outsider musicians better. most of the people i know would rather have indonesian songs in their playlist than any local singers' songs. and if there were malay songs, it will be from the 70s and 80s.
sayang la...we have all the beautiful ethnic and exotic music rythmn and instrument. why arent any of us manipulating it and make full use of it? than copying some other foreign country but isnt as near as good. pity. such pity.
some people may not agree to my statement. but this what i feel. im in thirst of good local music. if someone could change our state. im happy.
good night.
p/s: influences are good.but when its not. it turns ugly.
*smiles*
Love,
Nina
