SINGAPORE: It’s time to celebrate National Day with Musical Touch’s tribute video “Together, As One United People.”
The song is a medley of favourite National Day songs from “Count on Me Singapore” (1986), “Di-Tanjong Katong” (1930s), “Stand Up for Singapore” (1984), “Munnaeru Vaalibaa” (1966), “Home” (2004), and “Where I Belong” (2001), featuring Singapore’s local musicians.
The medley is a tribute to Singapore’s 59th birthday, filmed at iconic locations across Singapore, honouring the nation’s journey since independence. It highlights Singapore’s famous architecture, bustling hawker stalls, and a strong sense of family and community.
The musical medley aims to foster national spirit and express appreciation for the extraordinary talent Singapore has produced.
The song opens with: “This is my country. This is my flag. This is my future; this is my life. We’re going to show the world what Singapore can be.” These words set the tone for a celebration of national pride and unity.
The medley’s lines resonate with the theme: “Stand up for Singapore. Do the best you can. Reach out for your fellow man. You gotta make a stand.”
Another verse highlights the unity among the people of Singapore: “Every creed and every race has its role and has its place. One People, One Nation, One Singapore.”
