The theme song for this year's National Day Parade will be a modern take on the 1987 classic We Are Singapore, updated by local singer Charlie Lim.


Mr Lim, 29, who has rewritten the verses of Hugh Harrison's song to include lyrics like "the future is uncertain and everything must change", unveiled the song to the media at The Float @ Marina Bay on Tuesday (May 22). The theme and logo of this year's parade were also revealed.


Mr Lim, who performed a live acoustic rendition of the song, said: "They wanted to refresh the song which was written in 1987 and was very relevant in its time, but I think now we want to look at things from a younger generation's perspective."


To come up with the song, Mr Lim spent a week watching YouTube videos of old NDP songs to figure out what worked.


"It was kind of scary to take on something that everyone knows and sings," he said. "I recorded a demo in my bedroom and we actually used that. In fact, the vocals you hear on the actual track are actually from the original demo. We actually tried recording it in the studio, but decided that it had a better performance and came from a more heartfelt place."


NDP 2018 executive committee chairman Brigadier-General Alfred Fox said the theme for this year, "We Are Singapore", captures the unity of Singaporeans.

The usual PAP taichi way to deflect attention away from the fact that they screwed up the planning and financing model for the sports hub and now they are left with no more creative idea than to keep reusing a supposedly temporary venue year in year out. :nosepick:
