Music

“Perfectly Fine” is an original song written and recorded by Marcus Foong for “In Our Own Words” back in 2008. This updated version of the song is a specially re-recorded one to mark the online release of the film.

“Thank you very much to my long-time friend Aaron Lim for the backup vocals, electric rhythm guitar, synth, drums, harmonica and production work, and to my brother Gerald, for contributing the guitar solo. Thanks to Amos and Joseph, the subjects of the short film, for teaching us how to live bravely”. – Marcus
