May 9th 2008
Venue: Theater at the Moberly
This was the first time I played this song by Norah Jones: Thinking about you. For this song and with a couple of reasons, I didn't feel comfy playing songs which I have not even heard of. With the inexperience of playing with members Lenus, Patrina, Joanne and Hui Zhuang(all girls), practically the first few times playing with them. That, I'm not used to unlike playing with my old buddies who I feel more easy. We had quite a number of practices here but the song just doesn't suit the style that all of us are familiar with.
It was a difficult performance to do. I could lighten up with my touch on the keyboard even though it is weighted since I was much of a classical piano player which I always ram the keys repeatedly. The vocals is screwed, but understandable as Lenus has a phobia of Stages or you could say, stage fright. Because of her, though I had been giving alot of cues when to come in, she affected our performance pretty badly. There wasn't any bass player so I had to handle the bassline as well.
I was quite washed up at the end of the day, fatigued. But not as fatigued as the next performance I had on the 28th May by more than significant extent. I would scream out loud and annoy everyone around me if I were to do this song again. I would swear that I wouldn't perform this type of songs with this type of people I was gonna get to play for it.
After that performace, we were told of another one in a couple of weeks. It occured to me that we were to play the very same song for the Graduation day. It freaked me out abit. No choice, though I really damn hate to do this song again.
