[A super duper late post!!! This has been sitting in my drafts for ages! Eeeeeekkkk!!! Will try to empty my drafts tonight! :D Moving on.. Just imagine that it's still October. Lol.]
It wasn't Marié's first time to perform for her Singaporean fans. It was in 2009 when she performed for them at The Arena (Clarke Quay) to promote her album, Breathing Underwater.
It was also in 2009 since the last time I saw Marié Digby perform a full concert. I've seen her perform 3-5 songs in her mall shows in Manila 2 years ago (there was a LOT! Seriously.), but it's never the same. We, Pinoy fans, have been begging for a concert since she released Your Love, which she recorded in Manila in 2011, but we aren't lucky so far. So that was why, together with 7 of my friends, we went to Singapore last October to see her concert and do some tourist stuff as well.
October 18, 2012 when Marié graced the stage of Esplanade Concert Hall. I still remember Marié's reaction when she saw the PH Digbyholics in the audience. Surprised? Grateful? It was priceless. Going to Singapore was actually the craziest thing I've done for an artist. And I've done a lot of crazy stuff! But she's not just a favorite artist/singer/songwriter to me. She's a friend. She's an inspiration. From her, I learned that it's okay to be scared sometimes. She inspires me to be brave and to go for what I want, to go for what I feel will make me happy. Cheesy as it is, she inspires me to be better.
The audience was treated for a night full of music and stories about love and life. Accompanied by a guitarist and a percussionist, they gave each song a richer feel that pulled on the heartstrings of those who came and listened. Listening to Marié tell the story behind each of her songs gave me a clearer understanding of what she was going through while writing them. When you've been a fan for so long, you couldn't help but feel for her. Which, by the way, led to teary eyes. Lol. I wish I could have recorded the entire show for everyone! The venue was so strict about recording the show, BUT I may have recorded (sneaked) a song and a half, and I may have uploaded them on YouTube. :D
Below is my favorite track from her album Unfold, Voice on the Radio.

I wish Marié will be able to perform live in Manila this year. I mean, a show this good should be seen live by everyone. No bias!
By the way, Marié is now an independent artist. Support her by spreading her music. :)
