Am I the only Jamie Scott/Graffiti 6 fan in Singapore? Surely not. Hope he comes to Singapore again, maybe for a smaller more intimate acoustic session at TAB, now that would be sweet. I feel his strength lies in the more raw acoustic performances. Either way, the album is a pleasure to listen to.
Now he has collaborated with Tommy D to form Graffiti6, who have produced the successful track Stare Into the Sun. I came across this video from The Sun newspaper online. An amazing song done acoustic called Over you, I love love love LOVE it.
And somehow, this song struck a chord. Felt a sudden pang of sadness, and buried emotions resurfaced. I wish I could hear him play live again, pure talent. Someone please hook me up with a live gig if I’m ever in the UK this year!
I don’t think it has been released, so you heard it here first!
Graffiti 6 – Over You Lay down your armour baby
No need to fight no more
Coz i have been wondering darling
We should just stop this war
but it’s alright
nothing lasts forever baby
it’s alright
now i can dance
coz I’m over you
this time is the last time
I’m over you
I can change
said I am over love
this time is the last time
always my love
no need for arguments
just walk through the door baby
sometimes I don’t know what we’re talking about
you lose yourself i lose myself baby
but its alright
nothing lasts forever baby
its alright
now I can dance
coz I’m over you
this time is the last time
I’m over you
I can change
said I am over love
this time is the last time
always always
And maybe yeah it took a long time
when you’re running away from truths you can’t find
maybe yeah it was a hard time
when love had gone
Now I’m over you
this time is the last time
I’m over you
I can change
said I am over love
this time is the last time
always always
Now I’m over you
this time is the last time
I’m over you
I can change
said I am over love
this time is the last time
always Mmmmm
Work has been hectic, so I haven’t had the time to sit down and write about Singfest. To date, it’s the best concert I’ve been to.
I’ve been listening to Jamie Scott & The Town for quite a while now, and surprisingly, he doesn’t have a huge following here in Singapore. Every time I mention his name, I get the “Who is he? What does he do?” answer. But judging by the crowd’s response on Sunday arvo, I’m sure he has scored himself a few more fans from Singapore.
I’m just so glad I got to listen to him live! … At times he sounds like a combination one of my other fav singer Ray LaMontagne and Paolo Nutini.
Nick the amazing cellist
I think the only down side was the heat! It was scorching hot, and we were all trying to keep cool with the ONE electric fan i brought. I reckon the organisers should have at least put a few industrial sized fans to cool us down. The crowd was ok, although it did get a bit rowdy when Jason Mraz came on.
Here are a couple more of my favourite photos of the night.

I’m such a lucky girl. I got to meet both Jamie Scott & band and Jason Mraz & Toca Rivera at Singfest.

I just wished i didn’t look so disheveled. But then again after jumping around for four hours in the sun and the crowd, it was a bit hard to look fresh!
