Love Song # 1 by Kay Kastum

Gloria-Natal by Kay Kastum

It was a good opportunity. I went about finalizing my music since the closing date was initially June 15 2009. I sent the whole material on the 1st of May only to find out online that they have abruptly change the date to 31st May!! Something fishy is really going on man….

Well. Here’s the demo. If I were to win this one, I would have wanted Faizal Tahir to sing it since it has this Rock element to it. I sang this demo myself and as you can see, my voice was struggling to hit the high notes. Lol!

Satu Malaysia

Composed by Kay Stanford Jr Kastum, May 28, 2009

Kita sama sahaja
Walaupun semua berbilang bangsa
Hidup harmoni, berkompromi, kita amali

Pemimpin di hormati
Raja menjadi tunggak tradisi
Keamanan, kestabilan rakyat yang penyayang

Bridge:
Bersatulah rakyat jelata, kita menjadi Satu Suara

Chorus:
Satu Malaysia, Satu Malaysia
Ku rasa bangga, menjadi warga
Negara Malaysia

Speaking of songs, here’s the updated version of my This is Kaamatan song. Previously I recorded it as an ‘acoustic version’. This time I added some other elements to give it a more festive feel and of course a Sabahan ethnic music theme to it too.

This song was recorded in my so called ‘Home Studio’ yesterday. It was one terribly hot Sunday afternoon. Since my recording room doesn’t have an air conditioner, we had to switch off the fans to reduce any unwanted sounds. It is still not studio quality definitely.

I would like to thank Alvin a.k.a Defoo who is also part of the group called Infinatez who took the trouble to come over to do this demo. We even had extra time to record some video footage for this song’s video so stay tuned for that one too!

Lastly, I would like to say Aramai tih! To all people of Sabah and Sarawak who will be celebrating the harvest Festival soon. Have a good one!

Happy Kaamatan!

The melody was a bit tricky I think. Going from low to high… I just hope I can pull this one through. Well, I have my wonderful choir to cover up… he he he..

RESPONSE : GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD FOR HE IS GOOD, FOR HIS LOVE HAS NO END.

1. LET THE SONS OF ISRAEL SAY:
‘ HIS LOVE HAS NO END.’
LET THE SONS OF AARON SAY:
‘HIS LOVE HAS NO END.’
LET THOSE WHO FEAR THE LORD SAY:
‘HIS LOVE HAS NO END.’

2. I WAS THRUST, THRUST DOWN AND FALLING
BUT THE LORD WAS MY HELPER.
THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH AND MY SONG;
HE WAS MY SAVIOUR.
THERE ARE SHOUTS OF JOY AND VICTORY
IN THE TENTS OF THE JUST,

3. THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED
HAS BECOME THE CORNER STONE.
THIS IS THE WORK OF THE LORD,
A MARVEL IN OUR EYES.
THIS DAY WAS MADE BY THE LORD;
WE REJOICE AND ARE GLAD.

Response:
THIS DAY WAS MADE BY THE LORD;
WE REJOICE AND ARE GLAD

GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD FOR HE IS GOOD,
FOR HIS LOVE HAS NO END.
LET THE SONS OF ISRAEL SAY:
‘HIS LOVE HAS NO END’

THE LORD’S RIGHT HAND HAS TRIUMPHED;
HIS RIGHT HAND RAISED ME UP.
I SHALL NOT DIE, I SHALL LIVE
AND RECOUNT HIS DEEDS.

THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED
HAS BECOME THE CORNER STONE.
THIS IS THE WORK OF THE LORD,
A MARVEL IN OUR EYES

I’m down with flu, cough and a slight fever the past couple of days. I have no choice but to finish this today since time is realy running out. My friends wedding is this coming saturday Febraury 14th which happens to be Valentine’s day as well. This one is recorded while I’m still having the cough so my voice seems to be a little bassy and low strangely.

I included the MP3, MINUS ONE as well as the LYRICS with guitar chords for you to download should you want to use this for any event especially weddings. (Sorry I don’t read musical notes so I can’t provide any SHEET MUSIC for you folks)

RESPONSE: The Lord fills the earth with his love

They are happy whose God is the Lord
the people he has chosen as his own
The Lord looks on those who revere him
on those who hope in his love

Our soul is waiting for the Lord
The Lord is our help and our shield
In him do our hearts find joy
We trust in his holy name

May your love be upon us, o Lord
as we place all our hope in you

MY SOUL REJOICES IN MY GOD

MY SOUL GLORIFIES THE LORD,
MY SPIRIT REJOICES IN GOD, MY SAVIOUR.
HE LOOKS ON HIS SERVANT IN HER NOTHINGNESS;
HENCEFORTH ALL AGES WILL CALL ME BLESSED

THE ALMIGHTY WORKS MARVELS FOR ME.
HOLY HIS NAME!
HIS MERCY IS FROM AGE TO AGE,
ON THOSE WHO FEAR HIM.

HE FILLS THE STARVING WITH GOOD THINGS,
SENDS THE RICH AWAY EMPTY.
HE PROTECTS ISRAEL, HIS SERVANT,
REMEMBERING HIS MERCY.

Oh well, It’s late, I haven’t had dinner yet and I need to crash soon….

Let Us See O Lord, Your Mercy
And Give Us Your Saving Help

I will hear what the Lord God Has to say
A voice that speaks of peace
Peace for His people,
His help is near for those who fear Him
And His glory will dwell in our Land

Mercy and Faithfulness have met
Justice and Peace Have embraced
Faithfulness shall spring from the earth
And justice look down from Heavens

The Lord will make us prosper
And our earth shall ield it’s fruit
Justice shall march before him
And peace shall follow his steps

It’s been a while now
But can you see how
It doesn’t matter where you are
You have a place here in my heart

So can you tell me
‘to make you happy
I will do anything for you
Do you want me to buy the Zoo??

Happy birthday to my sista
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday oh *’dawta’
Happy birthday to you

*Jamaican, dawta noun: “used by many men to refer to a woman”
