Music video
[edit]The simple music video tells Corrinne's life from her childhood day's till the present. The music video opens with a time lapse of Singapore's skyline and slowly a few blocks of skyscrapers fade off the screen. The story later focuses on Corrinne's birthday where her father gets her a Yamaha piano to practice her music.
In the present the now 37-year-old is still seen playing the same piano as her neighbor comes to admire her piece. It is also learnt that she has become a music teacher and at the end of the music video, Corrinne alongside her students, hang up flags of Singapore on to HDB flat railings.
