Strangers to Ourselves // Also, about the funeral procession
So many great tracks in this album! (I haven't gone through all the Cold War Kids' albums. Went through 2 and got saturated with their stuff so, I need a break from them)
Apparently this track is about Issac's brother, Ansel, who was killed by an avalanche back in 2004.
This aside, I went for LKY's funeral procession on Sunday, and I'm deeply touched by the unity and graciousness of Singaporeans! Even to the extend of.. feeling great camaraderie amongst the citizens? Funny that it takes a great man's death for us to see the light. Hope we don't lose it though.
Also, I read from somewhere that some foreign press have compared our nation's reaction to LKY's death to North Korea's reaction to Kim Jong-il's death. I can totally see how people with zero background knowledge about our history and context form this sort of conclusion.
Which makes me feel bad for judging North Korea back then.
