Songs of Singapore | From Third World to First (1965–1990) | Lyrics

Singapore celebrates its 61st anniversary on the 9th of August 2026. This compilation is dedicated to Singapore, my home that I am eternally grateful for. Every nation builds itself on more than policy and economics. It builds itself on shared culture: the songs sung in schools, at army camps, at National Day Parades, and in the living room. This compilation brings together eight songs from Singapore's nation-building era: folk songs that preceded independence, army marches, and NDP songs that gave a multiracial city-state a common voice.
