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.
Music video out for Graffiti 6′s “Stare into the Sun”, lead vocals one of my favourites – Jamie Scott from Jamie Scott & The Town who I got a pleasure of meeting at SingFest 2 years back.
Stare into the Sun
Stare into the sun, stare into the sun
I’m gonna stare into the sun, stare into the sun
The ain’t a cloud in the sky, no nothing
I see the birds they fly on something
This is the summer, it’s the summer, full of colour baby
The sun is shining down for lovers
But not for me, it shines for others
You gave me love, babe
Gave me love, babe, now it’s over
I’m feeling blue ’cause love is gone
Guess I lose, but life goes on
I’ve got a few tears to dry
Before these blue shade days are gone
And I can stare into the sun
I’m gonna swim in seas of green, I tell you
I’m gonna run like I’m seventeen, forever
I see a rainbow, purple and gold, but it’s covered
Oh yeah, ’cause there’s a cloud,
she follows me round, wherever
Her last words keep raining down, on shelter
You took your love babe, took your love babe
Now the colors are melt together
I’m feeling blue, ’cause love is gone
I guess I lose, but life goes on
I’ve got a few tears to dry,
before these blue shade days are gone
And I can stare into the sun
Stare into the sun, stare into the sun
I’m gonna stare into the sun, stare into the sun
You gave me love, babe, gave me love, babe
You gave me love and took it away
You gave me love, babe, gave me love, babe
You gave me love and took it away
You gave me love, babe, gave me love, babe
You gave me love and took it away
You gave me love, babe, gave me love, babe
Oh man, I said oh lord
I’m feeling blue, ’cause love is gone
I guess I lose, but life goes on
I’ve got a few tears to dry,
before these blue shade days are gone
And I can stare into the sun
before these blue shade days are gone
And I can stare into the sun
I’ve got a fever baby!
Your love
I’ve got a fever baby!
It’s your love
I said I’m blue, baby
I said I’m blue, baby
I said I’m blue babe, blue babe
I said I’m blue, baby
I’m crying out late now
The sun is gone
I’m crying out late now
The sun is gone
I need you love
I need you love
Do you see me, baby, on the street?
And I’m her king, to her heat
And I love, babe
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!
