The word of the night was passion. Her passion for performance and her music was what truly kept her going through the almost 30-song playlist she devised for the evening - despite horrific technical problems. From the smooth sentiment of "Comfort In Your Strangeness" to the lilting beauty of "The Weather Report," Cynthia Alexander clearly showed why she is a force to reckon with in Philippine songwriting.
Her performance of "U&I" was definitely a highlight of the evening, while "Knowing There Is Only Now" only served to underline the creative direction she was taking with her new record deal (she acknowledged that she never thought she would've been able to write the latter song).
Other songs such as "Space," new track "For No One" (don't quote on me on the title, it was a Biblical quote) and the Beatles standard "We Can Work It Out" were received with hooplah more rabid than that of the most fanatical boy band fan. To even make a comparison is criminal; I should be hauled to prison for even daring.
For an encore (she did three), she performed a haunting "Love Will Come To You," another Indigo Girls track. By this time, she had won the audience completely, and I wouldn't be surprised if she sold copies of "Rippingyarns" to every member of the audience that night. Teenagers and adults alike swarmed to her after the concert to get her to sign cassettes, compact discs and posters. 70s Bistro reverberated like it hadn't in quite a while that night, and the weather reported a clear day - for both the exhausted audience and the inspired Cynthia Alexander.
