Link: Labanoon Sings "YAUM" Or As Thais Write It "ยาม"

I posted a cover version of YAUM by Labanoon recently, here is the original band singing their song. This tune I originally heard in a bar where I found my subjects and started learning to speak Thai back in 1999. Labanoon and their music is one of the main reasons, the YAUM in Gerry Yaum was invented. The songs theme fit into what I was doing at the time with my photographs (attempting to protect women) and my security guard life in Canada (Yaum in Thai = security guard). Recently on a van ride in Thai I heard YAUM played by the driver, it flashed me back to old times and my old life, miss them.

Here is the fun original video by Labanoon:
