Giving National Day songs a run for their money?

One music video is slick, with breathtaking shots of Singapore at sunrise and features a professional singer.

The other is rough-edged, put together for less than $1,000 by a motley group of film-makers and musicians as a labour of love.

Without quite stealing the thunder from this year’s National Day theme song and music video, Love At First Light (above), their take on Singapore has also found a place in the hearts of Singaporeans. Called I Still Love You (below), the music video has been slowly but surely gaining good reviews since it was uploaded on YouTube last Thursday.

One reason for its success could be how its theme has connected with the average Singaporean with its realistic portrayal of the country.
