Thank you thank you so much to everyone who made it out last night to @moroccanlounge!
We ALMOST sold it out! Not bad at all for a Monday night!

I know some of you drove really far to catch it, blew tires, called off work, and had a long Monday, I'm sure, followed by a work day today!

With that said, I am so grateful for your presence and you made my first LA show in 5 years so worth it!

A couple of thank you's also as last nights show was made extra special by these lovely people:

-Hair was done by LA based Malaysian hairstylist Alex Tan @hairbyalextan, my hair has never looked SO good. You made me feel like Rita Hayworth! Seriously, if you live in LA, please go to him!

-Outfit, flower piece and necklace by the remarkable beauty, Rika Traxler of @islandmanadesigns, thank you so much for these pieces as it made me feel like I could rep a bit of home to my performance.

Speaking of home, thanks to @suzanne_chai_la_realtor, for tapau-ing me Mee hoon Goreng, complete with rendang and sambal ikan bilis for backstage. I walap it all after my show and shared it with my buddy @jayrivphoto who took this photo, more photos to come too! He took this of me pre-show. Check out other photos he's taken of me in the past on his instapage!

Also, last night's performance was almost guitarless, which made it a bit of an emergency but my dearest darling @jason_baum came to the rescue in more ways than one.

He quadrupled last night as manager, merch guy, stress diffuser, and most of all an amazing support of my overall being, at the same time being a Grammy award winning video music producer!

-My band members last night, of course, Daniel Mandelman on keys and Leo Costa on percussions! Last night was the 1st time we've played together. Thanks @dremusic123 for the connection!

Since my family is far away, I'm glad to know that I have such a lovely crew of people here in LA!

Thanks also to all my friends who made it out, you guys always make such a difference just by being there!
Again, thank you so much for your beautiful energy and presence last night!

Releasing 3rd album independently, so last night it was so good to know that your support is alive and well! 😊

Identite has become a part of my identity, as it has with most other musicians I know. Many of Singapore's most well-loved bands started out and spent their nights here... important, unforgettable nights filled with original, local music of outstanding quality and boundless raw emotion. Playing at Identite is like a rite of passage; a symbolic welcome into the local scene.

Over the years, it’s become so much more than a gig series; it's a big community of really, really close friends who are diverse and open-minded in that they come from a myriad different musical backgrounds and genres, but like-minded in their love for music and the local arts/music scene. It is probably the dearest, most precious community to independent musicians and local music lovers in Singapore.

Identite is both a liberating and protective environment: people here are so full of fire and so "real" that it simultaneously liberates and protects you from the often judgemental, superficial and artificial side of the arts scene. People at Identite are not there to be seen, they are there to listen, and to show love. That in itself is so rare, and that's what makes it so special. It's the one place that allows you to wholly connect with your listeners—people yell hilarious things from the audience, fans become friends, mistakes are forgiven, and you can injure a frail audience member while attempting to crowdsurf before collapsing headfirst and spending the rest of the night with an ice-pack to your skull… without having to feel paiseh. (not mentioning any names… definitely not Isa Ong)

Identite doesn't discriminate: you can find absolute newbies, veterans, hardcore bands, acoustic pop acts, all on the same bill. The magic starts when they begin to listen to and appreciate each others' music, begin gear-gawking together and exchanging advice, begin collaborating and marrying styles, begin forming new bands, inspiring new bands to form, pushing Singapore music forward... all while forging lifelong friendships along the way. All sorts of amazing artists jump in freely, doing live visuals, designing album art, gig posters, band shirts, conceptualising and curating new shows, producing local DIY mixtapes for friends to distribute overseas when on tour… etc. Everybody feeds and feeds on everybody else’s creative qi and so many definitive local works have been a product of this process.

There are so many collectives and groups of passionate individuals--musicians, artists, designers, visual artists alike--who have been conducting their projects under the umbrella of RSC and with support from Identite. We depend very heavily on the support, resources, expertise, and most importantly, the physical space that Home Club provides. Many of our projects seek to explore art in a variety of different ways, not just within music but across all disciplines and involving artists of diverse backgrounds. These are projects we strongly believe have a place in furthering and expanding Singapore's relationship with art. We need this physical space to materialise our dreams and ideas. Without Identite, we feel like we have no Home.

It is never going to be the same, but Identite will remain as alive as ever, even as it looks for a new home. In the meantime, let’s make our final Identite at Home Club a night to remember.

LYRICS
[Hook]
I seen a lot, I seen a lot,
I seen some brothers who’s scraping a pot,
I seen some bitches go down for the spot,
I seen some fathers who work on the block,
I seen some mothers with 22 jobs,
I seen some money, but never seen knots,
I seen some hunnids get blown on some rocks,
I seen a lot man, I seen a lot man,
I seen a lot

[Verse 1]
I seen the bottom of bottoms,
I've seen whole families at temples for lottos,
I've seen the blood on the car post a postal that happened outside when they sound and asleep next to the lushest of grottos,
Who's looking out for us?
The nation been spiraling, numbers been down and they drippin all over chanel?
My heart has been hurtin’, can you tell?
I mask the pain in a bottle,
I tell these stories that's makin 'em laugh so they don't see the clouds that I follow,
Times gettin darker,
I want the family to eat so I sleep when I can not when I want to,
Bila lagu aku laku,
My people gon ball till the heavens,
Been living in hell for so long that I cannot be saved,
Not even the sharpest of reverends,
I revel in pressure and my eyes are set on a goal and there’s no turning back I need reparations,
So I’m blowin’ detonation everytime I do a beat or verse,
I used to wanna give up but now gon’ have to put me in a hearse,
Ya heard, cause

[Hook]
I seen a lot, I seen a lot,
I seen some brothers who’s scraping a pot,
I seen some bitches go down for the spot,
I seen some fathers who work on the block,
I seen some mothers with 22 jobs,
I seen some money, but never seen knots,
I seen some hunnids get blown on some rocks,
I seen a lot man, I seen a lot man,
I seen a lot

[Verse 2]
Know your worth homie,
Don’t fuck with these cronies,
Don’t test how I move,
Semuanya ku dah lihat,
Aku ni takut nak kalah,
Cam mana aku nak rehat?
Aku nak tengok ayah bawak tesla,
Duit bertingkat,
Semua adikku bawak tester,
Cuma tunggu ujian,
And you know that I run it cause I seen some nights without no food,
I been through hell like I told you,
Tapi api neraka pun tak sepanas hustleku for my family I’ll fold you,
Make you old news,
Yeah your whole crew,
You got it?
I'll take it, can’t hold you,
Hidup ni satu ticket there’s no two,
You better grab what you want ‘fore it’s over for ya,
Can I live for a second? That’s Hova for ya,
Might end up pushing that contraband,
My brother keep drums like they got a band,
I’m trying to make em see light ‘fore they end up inside of a cell like so many men,
But they see red on a daily,
Tell me they gotta stay strapped cause
A day in their life’s like a lifetime of crazy
My thoughts are startin to hazy

[Verse 3]
Abang long sudah bilang,
Kiblat drill arah JB,
Mana korang semua hilang?
Kata kau ballin cam CP3?
Mana hustle kau sekarang?
Mana kawan kau yang industry?
Aku surrounded by the real ones,
Semua takkan terlipat under pressure,
See the gold on my necklace,
Amma blessed me,
I got the Sulam behind me,
Y'all know this energy crazy,
Step in my home man these demons can't test me,
Most of these haters ain't met me,
They why they got all these assumptions,
Memang tak function,
Real Gs move in silence,
That's why you ain't seen all my homies,
Stop askin round about who all gon know me,
All of your boys on the level below me,
All of my people gon eat man that's on me,
I ain't got it but at least I'm not phony,
Wearin those fake jewels like you own it,
You're not my opponent,
You ain't never been on it to me,
I'll take your career and I'll roll it up,
You ain't got integrity, clout it up,
I'll take my path I swear that's enough,
My brother done taught me man fuck your love,
Do what I want I don't fuck with you standards,
Who set the rules man they should be abondoned,
Ku tak pernah silap langkah,
I am the one man sila pangkah,
81100 the realest, fakta

今日はGReeeeNの「キセキ」を英語で歌ってみました。
訳詞を作ってみて、あまり英語にあっていない曲だなと思いつつも、挑戦してみました♪　いかがでしょうか。。。
「奇跡」と「軌跡」は英語にするとそれぞれmiracleとlocusまたはtrajectoryになりますので、二つともタイトルの「キセキ」だということが英語では伝わらないのが残念です。

English cover of "Kiseki" by the Japanese band GReeeeN.
Since this is one of GReeeeN's most popular songs, I wanted to challenge myself with an English cover, but after doing so, I realized it doesn't really lend itself well to English.
The word "kiseki" conveys two different meanings in this song, "locus/trajectory" and "miracle," which I couldn't exactly show the connection between in the English version.

I will love you tomorrow even more than I do now
No, I can’t stop the flow of these feelings flooding out
And although even now you make me feel so deep a love
No words will ever be enough

With every memory, each moment that you’ve given to me
Passing days have become a locus that we walked side-by-side
If finding one another was a single moment of chance
Or destiny’s hand, then darling,
The day that I met you was surely a miracle

*I want to walk beside you forever
Create an everlasting love together
Hand-in-hand with you until the end of time
Always smiling at your side
A simple word of thanks to you
Or even saying I love you
Will never be enough, but I can tell you this much
I am happy here with you

When the palm of my right hand would wrap gently ‘round your left
That oh-so-simple touch brought a warmth I can’t express
That was all that it took for me to make up my mind
Letting love for you fill me up inside

Among the everyday you’ve shown me pieces of joy
Piling slowly upon this locus that we took step-by-step
‘Cause finding one another here within this crazy big world
Was a small moment, sure, but darling,
The day that I met you was surely a miracle

And even on the days when things don’t go right
As long as you are near, the sky above’s bright
You make me forget about the tough façade
I would wear on lonely nights
‘Cause only when you’re here with me
Can I be who I’m meant to be
So darling, won’t you please stay with me forever
You are dearest to my heart

Remember walking home, how we used to joke and play
I know, now, even then that were living precious days
And when I told you how I felt, my heart was beating fast
You looked at me so differently than ever in the past
The seconds seemed to last a while and finally you gave a smile
And I could feel our hearts were filling up with love inside
And even now our journey’s barely just begun
I know that tens of years from now we’ll still be going strong
The future’s shining brighter every minute we go on

And even if the light is shrouded by the night
And morning’s out of sight, together we will be alright

*Repeat

And even on the days when things don’t go right
As long as you are near, the sky above’s bright
You make me remember that I have someone
To share the sorrow and the smiles
And as long as you are here
I can carry on, no fear
So darling, won’t you please stay with me forever
You are dearest to my heart

Until very last second, love

I’ll be smiling tomorrow even brighter than today
For as long as you’re with me, I will always feel that way
Tens of years, hundreds of years, or thousands
I want you by my side
I’ll love you ‘til the end of time
