I think I'm starting to develop a taste for Southeast Asian artists. I found this song randomly thru surfing youtube. There's becoming more and more users uploading more and more videos of themselves singing to prove their talent. Whenever I see those videos i can't help thinking that at least a good handful of these people are trying and hoping to land record deals by doing so. But in a sense, this way of getting a record deal is better than thru physical appearances, these ppl are actually showing their talent rather than exposing skin.
So I looked up the original of this song. And it's by a guy that goes by the stage name Passion, it's call 'Lemonade'. His name refers to his passion for music (hear hear!) and for Christ (sorry no agreement here). He's Filipino and from SF.
The beginning of the song reminds me of the scene in Step Up when they're dancing by the harbor on the rooftop. But as the song progresses it rings up some middle-school-dance vibe to it, not in a bad way. The lyrics makes me associate the song with puppy love. Here's a line from the song "Like a tall glass of lemonade/When it’s burnin’ hot on summer days/She’s exactly what I need". It's a cute & "romantic" song. What do u think about when you hear this song?
