I have always been a believer of Malaysia This is my home, my country, my nation, a perfect song to bring us together!
about pete was juggling tomatoes. bored. so he telephoned a few friends. “how about getting together to make an anti-racism national unity song and music video?” all said yes without hesitation. not because pete threatened them with a sharp and rusty knife. but only because they love malaysia.
the contingent swelled to 52 people a few days later. it included filmmakers, dancers, singers, producers, musicians, actors, entrepreneurs, designers, footballers, activists, celebrities, students and a florist. nobody would be paid. yet they were enthused. not because they were high on speed. only because they love Malaysia.
they gathered to record the song. it had a catchy chorus and was able to induce a mass sing-along. everyone was happy when it was done. they named it ‘here in my home’. then more people joined. the party now included more than 120 people. but the budget remained exactly zero. it seems even the spreadsheet loves malaysia.
everyone turned up for the video shoot. much fun was had and friendships made. video editors went to work after the shoot was done. both the recording and the video would be given away for free. a gift to the nation. from those who love malaysia to those who feel the same.
did you ask what this is all about?
it’s about love.

faq NOTE 1: we found a chinese tranlsation of this faq>here<. thanks mr.liew for taking the trouble. NOTE 2: if you really want to see pics of the shoot,>here<>here<. 2. where is the guest book? please leave your comments and messages in the>bulletin< style="font-weight:bold;">3. i love the project. how can i help?
you can help by simply downloading the song or video or requesting them on your favorite radio or tv station or participating in any broadcasted contests or activities related to this project. most importantly, you can help by posting or embedding our banners, song and video on your websites, blogs and other internet locations. helping us spread the word is the best thing you can do for us. banner and video embedding codes are provided at the bottom of the >download<>
4. how many people are involved in the project?
about 150 people were directly involved in the project as of 3rd of May 2008. more have since joined. these new supporters include record labels, advertisers, businessmen, and broadcasters. the true answer is that we don’t really know how many. either way, if we included you, there must be tens of thousands by now.
5. how long did it take to put the project together?
it took merely 5 weeks for the team to complete the production phase of the project from scratch. apart from scary phone bills and small incidentals, this was done without spending a single penny. average amount of sleep per person per night in that period was about 3 hours. photographs taken at that time revealed stressed out people with very big eye-bags. not pretty.
6. who wrote ‘here in my home’?
pete teo did. it was written 5 days before studio sessions began - when initial plans to use a well known john lennon song did not materialize due to licensing difficulties. pete was at first unsure about the song he wrote. yasmin ahmad had to convince him to use it.
7. who produced the song?
the song was co-produced by greg henderson and pete. it was recorded at greg’s studio in kuala lumpur. nick lee, a regular collaborator with pete on his albums, mixed and mastered it at ark studio. justin lim and jamie wilson played organ and slide guitar. greg and jamie are australian citizens. like many expats living in our country, despite being married to malaysians and having lived here for years, they have to date not yet had their permanent residency or citizenship applications approved by immigration.
8. where was the video shot?
the video was shot at the kuala lumpur performing arts centre. yasmin and ho yuhang co-directed it. the shoot involved about 120 people. many had so much fun they postponed prior engagements to stay the entire day. some were moved to tears when the day was over. thank you to klpac management for sponsoring the location and alliance cosmetic for sponsoring catering.
9. how many volunteers worked on the project?
from the stellar cast to the tea lady, everyone involved worked on the project voluntarily and for no money. still, our 18 volunteers in charge of chaperoning the cast deserve a special mention. they stayed up all night before the day of the shoot in order to study photographs. reason? they wanted to greet everyone by their first names upon arrival. they were the best.
10. who came up with the idea of shooting from static camera positions?
yuhang came up with the idea of shooting the video from two static camera positions. not only was this the only logistically efficient way to shoot 50 personalities in one day, it was also the most honest way to showcase the diverse personalities of the cast.
11. is the project linked to the government or any political party?
no. the project is entirely independent. it has received no funding from anyone. the budget is exactly zero and it is a non-profit effort. anyway, racial unity in malaysia should transcend party politics. the country belongs to all malaysians regardless of income, race or creed. this project is a gift from everyone connected to the project directly to you.
12. why isn’t the song in bahasa malaysia?
although sung predominantly in english, the current version of the song has 4 languages in it. we feel that this is more representative of the diversity of malaysia than any single-language song. having said that, we welcome efforts to produce other-language versions of the song. in fact, a multi-artistes bahasa malaysia version of the song will be produced by afdlin shauki soon. stay tuned.
13. i love the song and want to record a different version of it
developing different versions of the song is something we are happy to support if it is used in similarly non-profit, non-party-political and anti-racism undertakings or other spin-off initiatives related to this project. for the use of the song in commercial undertakings, normal music industry licensing requirements apply. pete retains copyright to the song. kindly seek licensing permission from him before proceeding. contact his office >here<.
14. i want to license it for a political party’s campaigning as this is a non-partisan effort for racial unity, we will not support or approve the use of the song or video for party-political purposes. however, an exception will be made if the undertaking is bi-partisan and inclusive in participation.
15. i hate it. why isn’t my favorite artiste involved? although we would have liked to have included every famous malaysian artiste in the project, this is simply not possible for scheduling and other reasons. moreover, the no-budget, non-profit nature of this project and its timeline of 3 weeks from pre-production to video shoot meant that there is a limit to how many people we could invite and manage. be that as it may, we agree that our project is not perfect and will happily offer our modest assistance if you’d like to produce a more comprehensive effort. in the mean time, please don’t hate us. we’re sensitive creative types and feel hurt easily [puke]. 16. i don’t recognize some faces on the video. who are they? our cast ranges from superstars, indie musicians, dancers, filmmakers, arts curators, actors, poets, painters, art students, models, entrepreneurs and more. some are household names and others are only known to the sub-communities in which they do admirable and often under-acknowledged work. we feel that the diversity of our participants represents a good cross section of the malaysian arts community. we also do not think a project featuring only superstars and celebrities would be terribly relevant or representative. please check out the links to our cast. they are listed in the >people<>download<>here<
They sky shall unfold Preparing His entrance The stars shall applaud Him With thunders of praise
The sweet light in His eyes, shall enhance those awaiting And we shall behold Him, then face to face
O we shall behold Him, we shall behold Him Face to face in all of His glory O we shall behold Him, yes we shall behold *Him* Face to face, our Savior and Lord
The angel *shall* sound, the shout of His coming And the sleeping shall rise, from *their* slumbering place And those *who remain*, shall be changed in a moment And we shall behold him, then face to face
We shall behold Him, o yes we shall behold Him Face to face in all of His glory We shall behold Him,*Yes we shall behold Him* face to face Our Savior and Lord And We shall behold Him, our Savior and Lord Savior and Lord!!!!!!!!!
Born Sandi Patty on July 12, 1956, in Oklahoma City, OK; daughter of Ron Patty (a minister of music); married John Helvering (a recording agent); divorced; married Don Peslis; children: Anna, Jennifer, John, Erin; stepmother to Peslis's four children. Education: Attended San Diego State University; Anderson College, B.A., 1979. Addresses: Record company--Word Records, 25 Music Sq., W. Nashville, TN 37203; website: http://www.wordrecords.com. Agent--William Morris Agency, 2100 West End, Ste. 1000, Nashville, TN 37203.
Sandi Patty has been called "The Voice" of contemporary Christian music. Gifted with a tremendous vocal talent that lends itself to a wide range of expression, Patty has enjoyed a diverse musical career. From ballads to pop to distinctive renditions of traditional gospel music, Patty bridges the gap between the secular and Christian worlds and ministers to her wide audience in a unique way. She has won five Grammy Awards and 39 Dove Awards.
Born on July 12, 1956, Patty made her singing debut at the tender age of two while singing "Jesus Loves Me" in church. Her vocal gift, apparent even then, increased dramatically over the years, and she soon performed regularly at small gospel churches around the country with her two younger brothers in the family singing group, the Ron Patty Family. As a young adult, she studied voice at San Diego State University before transferring to Anderson College in Indiana to major in music. While at Anderson, Patty earned money as a backup singer doing jingles for Juicy Fruit gum and met her future husband, John Helvering. It was Helvering who proved instrumental in encouraging Patty to perform and made arrangements for her to record a custom album entitled For My Friends. Her name was misspelled "Patti" on the album, and she used that version of her name professionally for many years. After hearing the album, a recording executive offered her a contract in 1979. There was no stopping "The Voice" then. Sandi's Song, Patty's first contractual release, appeared in 1979 and was followed by a number of personal appearances which spread the word of her music ministry nationwide. In 1980, Patty and her husband put together a small tour, quickly realizing that music was becoming far more than a part-time occupation. When she was asked to sing backup for the Bill Gaither Trio, Patty became convinced that her future lay in the music field. Her 1982 album Lift Up the Lord, a tightly produced and distinctly contemporary-sounding Christian album, won two Dove awards and featured such outstanding songs as the lively title track and "How Majestic Is Your Name," balanced against such balladic powerhouses as "They Could Not." Her 1983 album Sandi Patty Live: More Than Wonderful, certified gold in 1985, garnered additional Dove awards and a Grammy for best gospel performance. Subsequent albums have been nominated for musical awards each year, and Patty was named Billboard 's Inspirational Artist of the Year for four years in a row.
Patty's first major solo tour occurred in 1984 with concerts in the one hundred largest cities in the United States. The tour corresponded with the release of the Songs From the Heart album and drew more than half a million fans, confirming once again her position as the leading figure in popular Christian music. Her 1986 album Morning Like This earned her another Grammy, as did her duet with Deniece Williams on the song "They Say." As a whole, Morning Like This offers a striking musical balance: the title track embraces the mystery and joyful declaration of Easter morning, while the single "Love in Any Language" reaches well beyond the varying sects in Christendom; hand-clapping, foot-stomping favorites such as "Hosanna" and "Let There Be Praise" complement the inspirational moments of songs like "In the Name of the Lord."
Striving to keep pace with changes in musical tastes while not disappointing fans who had begun to equate her with operatic high C's and ringing, emotional crescendos, Patty blazed new trails with her 1988 album, Make His Praise Glorious. Still present here are hallmark ballads such as "In Heaven's Eyes" and powerhouse hits like "No Other Name," but the popular "Love Will Be Our Home" contains rocklike guitar licks--something fans might not have expected. Other departures are evident in the catchy "Come Let Us Worship," which found favor with fans of electronic percussion, and "Someone Up There Loves Me," featuring heavy brass aimed at jazz buffs.
Patty's broad appeal as a performer is not hard to understand. Her tremendous vocal talent bridges the gap between her Christian audience and the secular world. ABC-TV included her inspirational recording of "The Star Spangled Banner" during its Liberty Weekend Celebration, and NBC-TV invited her to participate in the network's Christmas in Washington special with former U.S. president Ronald Reagan. She has also performed on numerous daily television programs, including The Tonight Show, The Today Show, and Good Morning America, on specials such as the Grammy Awards show and the CBS special We the People, at the 1988 Republican National Convention, and at the opening ceremonies of the 1988 presidential inauguration. In addition, after four years of planning, Patty released Sandi Patty and the Friendship Company in 1989, a children's album that is destined to become a classic.
Patty continued to sing, tour, and record, but in 1992, personal difficulties sidelined her career. During a separation from her husband, John Helvering, she had an extramarital affair with Don Peslis, whom she later married after divorcing Helvering. Although this would not affect the careers of most musicians, in the world of Christian music, the scandal cost her listeners. For the next several years, she went through counseling and reconciliation with her church, as well as with the Christian press and her fans. Although some continued to boycott her music, many fans eventually returned to support her. In 1997, Patty told Susan Hogan-Albach in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, "I've been dealing with it as truthfully and honestly and openly as I can." She added, "I think my experiences can be a source of encouragement for others. Life is not perfect, and we're all going to make mistakes, but God will still love us. That's my message." Iin 2000, Patty told Tim Harlow in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, "Living on the other side of a difficult time in life, God is giving me another chance." Realistically, she told Julia Duin in the Washington Times, "I am sure there are fans who will never buy my music again. That is a loss."
In February of 2004, Patty was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. Also in 2004, Patty considered taking her career in another direction when she decided to run for a position on the school board in her home town of Anderson, Indiana. She told Robyn-Denise Yourse in the Washington Times, "My passion is the schools and I want to be part of something that will be good for the community." However, a month later, she dropped out of the race, realizing that her career in music would not give her enough time to devote to the position if she won.
Despite her national exposure as a performer, Patty remains refreshingly sincere and unchanged. Her dedication remains with the Lord and to her husband and four children. The music, in all its excitement, remains a ministry. As she noted in People: "I don't tell people 'You have to believe this,' but rather, 'Hey, the things that Jesus taught and continues to teach flat out work, and this is where I've been and learned and maybe it fits where you're at right now.' Music is a powerful tool. We should use it to help shape positive values." Perhaps what makes Sandi Patty's work so accessible and successful is her sincerity. Most critics agree that Patty's ability to cross musical boundaries and spread the Christian word to a wide and varied audience will insure her longevity in the field.

Games, changes and fears When will they go from here When will they stop I believe that fate has brought us here And we should be together But wer,e not I play it off but I'm dreamin of you I'll keep it cool but I'm fiendin. I try to say goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near Goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near
I may appear to be free But I'm just a prisoner of your love I may seem alright and smile when you leave But my smiles are just a front I play it off but I'm dreamin of you I'll keep my cool but I'm fiendin I try to say goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near
Here is my confession May I be your possesion Boy I need your touch Your love kisses and such With all my might I try But this I can't deny I play it off but im dreamin of you I'll keep my cool but I'm fiendin I try to say good bye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. It must have been cold there in my shadow, to never have sunlight on your face. You were content to let me shine, that's your way. You always walked a step behind.
So I was the one with all the glory, while you were the one with all the strength. A beautiful face without a name for so long. A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
Did you ever know that you're my hero, and everything I would like to be? I can fly higher than an eagle, 'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
It might have appeared to go unnoticed, but I've got it all here in my heart. I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it. I would be nothing without you.
Did you ever know that you're my hero? You're everything I wish I could be. I could fly higher than an eagle, 'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Did I ever tell you you're my hero? You're everything, everything I wish I could be. Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle, 'cause you are the wind beneath my wings, 'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, the wind beneath my wings. You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings. Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high. Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings. Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly high against the sky, so high I almost touch the sky. Thank you, thank you, thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.
