Having taken up singing as a hobby after arriving in her new homeland, Wing gained an audience by entertaining patients at nursing homes and hospitals in and around Auckland, and this prompted suggestions that she release a CD; the result was a debut entitled Phantom of the Opera, featuring the Andrew Lloyd Webber classic, and a selection of other popular tunes. Most agree that Wing's music lacks accuracy in pitch, and the style of her vocals rarely seems appropriate for the songs she covers. This has not stopped fans though, some of whom listen for the novelty, whereas others genuinely appreciate Wing's music.
Despite — or more accurately, because of — Wing's pronounced lack of vocal talent and marginal command of English diction, the recording proved a success, leading to a number of subsequent releases that eventually gained her an international audience. In recent years she has become a minor celebrity, appearing on such shows as Rove Live and being featured on episode 903 of South Park, which she actually recorded her vocals for.
Wing continues in the tradition of William Hung, Florence Foster Jenkins and Mrs Miller, and despite receiving some rather acerbic reviews, continues to perform and record.
I Do
Wing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Soaks through paper and leaves stains on the table
You don't look how I pictured
You don't look quite how I remember
I'll tell myself
I cannot surround me
But some smiles both resurrect
I don't tell you everything
It's heartless
The picture remind me
Call used to smile
The opening lines of Wing's song "I Do" suggest a level of depth that might not be easily visible on the surface. Ink that is pressed harder is more likely to leave a mark, and the same can be said of the emotions that we push deeper within us. The metaphorical bleeding of the ink suggests a level of pain and hurt that has been internalized, and the stains on the table serve as a reminder that things are not always what they seem. The line "You don't look how I pictured" speaks to the idea that what we imagine and what we experience can be vastly different things. The same can be said about the way we remember people and events - our memories can be colored by time and distance, and things may not be quite as we recall them.
The line "I cannot surround me" speaks to the idea of setting boundaries and protecting oneself from emotional hurt. It's a statement of defiance, a reminder that we have the power to control our own environment and decide who we let in. But even with those boundaries, there are still moments that can both "resurrect" and "drain the life" from us. It's a reminder that emotions are messy, and even the best laid plans can sometimes fall apart.
Overall, "I Do" is a song about the complexities of human relationships and the struggle to reconcile our emotions with our desires. It's a reminder that even when things are messy and difficult, they are still worth fighting for.

rate belt attachments from worst to best in a 2 minute format. I know you already have a video covering this but the 2 minute format is awesome. Please do more holster feature related videos. You've helped me pick out my next holster (DSG hitchhiker) and I've ordered like 5 dark wings for all my existing holsters.
