Kalorin featuring Nanglen Band (Live Version) - Love (Live Special Cover for THAILAND)

Just received this song in the mail today from my wonderful producer P Toon. I am so excited about it that I can't wait to record it in the studio that i had to sing it live. This is my first live video.

I thought of Thailand instantly.

With all that is going on with the flood and natural disaster, it makes me feel that we, as true Thai bloods, we should reunite and love each other.

Stop with all the war and the hate. I can't believe we have to chose between made up colors in order to get along.
Who cares.

This isn't the time.

I also want to pay respects to His Royal Highness King Bhumibol. Without his Royal Highness, I don't know where we'd be. We owe so much to His Royal Highness.

I LOVE MY KING BHUMIBOL.

Love to my Thai brothers and sisters. We will get through this together.

Truly,
KAL

Wouldn't it be, a melody of love?
Wouldn't it be, a fairytale to live?
To give, love inside your heart, your heart
Now wouldn't it be a good start?
To share the love inside you heart?

Could it be, that the nights and days
Are washed away with all the war the hate?
It a shame, that we fight amongst ourselves
For POWER, MONEY and the WEALTH!?
What good is having ALL THE WEALTH?

Can someone tell me why?
We're living life this way?
We believe in lies, and all the pain that is all inside?
Where is the love inside
Tell me, tell me where is the love inside?

Kid do hai dee, Kid do hai dee, Kid do

Shouldn't it be, all for one to win?
To stand alone, against the wind, for why?
To live, all all on the tears you cried
Come on people have some pride
Com people, have some pride

Don't live your world, full of lies..
