It's the third time I'm posting today, but I really can't resist cos this song is so nice!!! Enjoy!!!



Sweet songs



《拥抱》 by Mayday.
This song is from a very long time ago(1999,hehe).
I have no idea why, but this song 感觉很舒服.
Maybe because this song shows the没有负担,没有虚伪,坦荡荡的五月天.
I like the MV too.
Although some of the scenes seem suggestive and moe(I'm sure the girl is juvenile), but I guess it holds some kind of meaning for Mayday.
And lol Ashin's short hair.




Recently watched this Taiwan drama called 偷心大圣PS男. The drama was quite boring, but there's a song I wanna intro.
《我喜欢(不,我爱)》by严爵.
I like the acoustic feel of the song.
赤祼祼的嗓子加上木吉他的声音,it gives a very pure and natural feel to it.




I heard this song from the radio and I really don't know it's from the same singer lol.
But ta~daa, it turns out to be!
Hmm, seems like I like his music style.
This is obviously not a very sweet song is it talks about breaking up, but I guess in breaking-up songs this is considered "sweet" ba.
这首歌的分手不残酷但也不豁达,而是像在很温柔地告诉恋人,“我们该放手了”。
感觉惋惜但不可惜,因为彼此拥有了共同的美好回忆。
Guess this is what everyone would want if they have to experience a break-up.
But, just like there are different kinds of break-up songs, there will also be different emotions in different break-ups.
I guess this kind of stuff must take it in your stride ba, although it may be difficult to do so.
And no la I didn't experience anything like this in case you all are wondering why I'm suddenly talking about this. XD
I just 有感而发 la.




This song is written by Eric Clapton for his son who passed away.
It's a really sad song, yea.
But very nice too.


Goodbye and Hello

Yesterday was the last official NP act.
So I guess it marks the end of a part of my life.
I hope not, though.
I hope that we will still be as close as ever, to still live as one.
But things may change,especially since we are going into different CCAs after this.
I sincerely hope that even 10 years later, we will still keep in constant contact with each other, have a load of stuff to talk about when we meet, and still be able to be involved in each other's lives.
RVNP Bang Bang Squad, you taught me to grow, to live, to share.
To laugh as one, cry as one, surpass obstacles as one.
No matter how hard it is, our blood, sweat and tears are worth it because we have one another.
May our spirit and legacy(haha) live on forever.
RVNP S1'07, S2'08, S3'09, NCO'10, Bang Bang Squad, you rawk the world!!!

I thank Daniel Powter for a song to express my current feelings.















On the other hand, I'm dying to watch Karate Kid.
Which I can't.
Sigh.


画心
Sunday, 13 June 2010

I watched 《画皮》last night, and I must say that it's pretty well done.Unlike the original 《画皮》, there are more twists and turns(of course), and the overall feeling is凄美、哀伤、感人, which I prefer over the 恐怖of the original version.
I guess the overall theme for this movie is "Love means sacrifice" ba.
飞天蜥蜴sacrificed for小唯,小唯 sacrificed for 王生,王生sacrificed for 佩蓉, 佩蓉sacrificed for 王生 etc etc....
 Hmm but I don't really agree with "Love means sacrifice"though.
But that's another story.
And I wonder why their background music is so minimal.
In conclusion, I think this is the nicest movie I've seen in a long time, cos though I would like to see more character development on supporting actors such as 夏冰, but I think the 气氛 is really well done(even without the bg music), and the plot is good.:)
Not to mention that it has a really good theme song.:)



I really like the旋律, and the lyrics are really fitting for the movie too.

畫皮主題曲《畫心》
作曲:藤原育郎
作詞:陳少琪
演唱:張靚穎

看不穿 是你失落的魂魄
猜不透 是你瞳孔的顏色
一陣風 一場夢 愛如生命般莫測
你的心 到底被什麼蠱惑
你的輪廓在黑夜之中淹沒
看桃花 開出怎樣的結果
看 著你抱著我 目光似月色寂寞
就讓你 在別人懷裏快樂
愛著你 像心跳難觸摸
畫著你 畫不出你的骨骼
記著你的臉色 是我等你的執著
你是我 一首唱不完的歌

看不穿 是你失落的魂魄
猜不透 是你瞳孔的顏色
一陣風 一場夢 愛是生命的莫測
你的心 到底被什麼蠱惑
你的輪廓在黑夜之中淹沒
看桃花 開出怎樣的結果
看著你抱著我 目光比月色寂寞
就 讓你 在別人懷裏快樂
愛著你 像心跳難觸摸
畫著你 畫不出你的骨骼
記著你的臉色 是我等你的執著
你是我 一首唱不完的歌
啊......

你 的輪廓在黑夜之中淹沒
看桃花 開出怎樣的結果
看著你抱著我 目光比月色寂寞
就讓你 在別人懷裏快樂
愛著你 像心跳難觸摸
畫 著你 畫不出你的骨骼
記著你的臉色 是我等你的執著
我的心 只願為你而割捨
啦......

Next up is a song I heard on the radio.
Yup, I've been listening to the radio pretty much these days.
Cos nice mah, somemore got new songs to listen to.:)



"Desperado" by 罗忆诗.
She's a Malaysian singer(yup, I was listening to a Malaysian radio station).
This song is nice, but sadly, like many other songs in the industry, it's not very memorable.
But anyway 年轻就是本钱, so hope all budding singers 加油 and sing more good songs for us to listen to!:)


Updates from the radio
Saturday, 12 June 2010

Want to listen to instrumental music, but not into classics?
X FM 96.3 is the thing for you!
Lol so I was browsing through the radio stations and I found X FM.
It's quite good,actually, with a wide variety of music.
Ranging from piano to flute, and even the less-well-known accordion.
I usually listen to this station if the songs on all the other stations are bad, and I must say that the music is always satisfactory(in my opinion).
0.o I just went to X FM's official website, and look what it says here:
Welcome to the website of XFM 96.3, Singapore's only radio channel specialising in French, German, Japanese, Korean and Hindi programmes.

So other than playing instrumental music, it also hosts other radio programs.That's cool!
However I've only listened to it at night, so I haven't any experience of X FM's radio programs, hehe.
Oh, and one more thing: X FM plays Korean Pop music every Monday to Friday, from 8PM to 10PM.
So, fans of Kpop, look out!:)
Remember, X FM at 96.3!

Anyway, After another sleepless night, I've combined the 精髓of all that I've heard yesterday/today,so enjoy!:)



"Eenie Meenie" by Sean Kingston feat. Justin Bieber.
I know this song is popular enough, but I couldn't resist putting it up here. Xp
Actually I don't really like this song except for the chorus, but it gives me a chance to comment on Justin Bieber, which is quite fun to do(XP) cos he gets alot of attention in the English entertainment industry.
I actually like his voice, which is not strange since I have a penchant for guy singers with girly voices(as shown by 苏打绿, Kurt from Glee)...wait, let me rephrase that: a penchant for girly voices from guy singers.
Haha.
Other than his voice, I think that he seems more mature in terms of looks(he seems taller-at least he's not shorter than the girl in the MV now), and in terms of dress sense(but it's not something that he can choose, right).
But anyway, I think his clothes are really nice.*.*
Unfortunately, he still looks younger than the girl in the MV.
I know he's like some kind of 情歌王子, but can they stop putting scantily clad girls in his MV?
It really makes him look very 肤浅.
Tsk tsk tsk.
The producers should know better than that.
He should at least seem his age, right?





Here's Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone".:)

Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye

Even with our fists held high
It never would've worked out right
We were never meant for do or die

I didn't want us to burn out
I didn't come here to hold you, now I can't stop

I want you to know that it doesn't matter
Where we take this road someone's gotta go
And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on so I'm already gone

Looking at you makes it harder
But I know that you'll find another
That doesn't always make you want to cry

Started with a perfect kiss then we could feel the poison set in
Perfect couldn't keep this love alive
You know that I love you so, I love you enough to let you go

I want you to know that it doesn't matter
Where we take this road someone's gotta go
And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on so I'm already gone

I'm already gone, already gone
You can't make it feel right when you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no moving on so I'm already gone

Already gone, already gone, already gone
Already gone, already gone, already gone, yeah

Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye

I want you to know that it doesn't matter
Where we take this road someone's gotta go
And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on so I'm already gone

I'm already gone, already gone
You can't make it feel right when you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no moving on so I'm already gone

Once again, Kelly Clarkson's stunning vocals surprise us.
Or at least it did for me.:)
This song is about a girl resigned about love that wasn't meant to be, and I think the lyrics are really pretty(albeit sad).:)
And I really like the high notes, especially at "You know that I love you so, I love you enough to let you go" and the chorus parts.
It's no wonder Kelly Clarkson was the winner of American Idol.
However, I think it's kinda creepy that the violins in the MV hang in the air andcan play on their own.
Don't you think so?XD




"Who Knew" by PINK.
I don't really know what else to comment other than "nice", lol.
Oh and I like that part:
"I know better
'Cause you said forever
And ever
Who knew"
 And what's with the wacky hair?

Next up are the Chinese songs, so I'm gonna revert to Chinese.^.^




新组合,浪花兄弟的首波主打歌,《想你就写信》。
属于周杰伦的经纪公司,当然是由周董和方文山写歌啦。
方文山常在作曲中使用中国风,这次也不例外。
个人非常喜欢《想你就写信》里背景音乐飘逸着的中国风,不过歌曲却不完全有中国风,所以我总觉得旋律还是太现代了。
一半中国风,一半现代,感觉怪怪的,而且假如唱 acapella 就没什么特色了。
要是在旋律中加入更多中华传统元素,相信歌曲会更特出。:)




图腾乐团演唱的《放羊的孩子》是我很久以前在收音机上听到的。
其实,我不是很喜欢图腾乐团其他歌曲的曲风(包括雷鬼、嘻哈饶舌、金属摇滚)。
不过,这首歌与图腾乐团的其他歌相比,比较柔和--其实是柔和了很多,哈哈-所以我还蛮喜欢的。 
这首歌写的是纯真或者童年吧。
它们都是无忧无虑的,就像放羊的孩子一样,单纯、知足、拥有简单的快乐。。。


And history repeats itself...
Thursday, 3 June 2010

You know it's the same thing every holiday.
I will go to the blogs of squadmates to see what they're doing recently.
Then I will discover that they've gone on an outing.
Without me.
What's worse is those people are my usual group of friends in NP.
I discover that I'm drifting further and further away from them.
Or maybe we've never been close?
It really makes me feel very upset inside.

And holidays are forever so sian.
Parents won't allow me to go out with ppl that ask me to go out, yet the ppl they allow me to go out with don't ask me to go out.
So ironic.
And yet my parents also don't bring me out.
You know your parents will like, for example, bring the whole family out to eat every weekend, or maybe bring you to Sentosa or Marina Bay occasionally.
Or maybe even just to go to listen to a free music performance.
But mine, they never do.
Of course, it's very inconvenient without a car.
But still, isn't it incredible that we never go out and do anything for the whole of the holidays?
It no wonder we children all become 自闭的宅男宅女, and just use the computer all day.
Cos we are just stuck at home all day and  the internet is the only way of having a link to the world, of letting us know more about the world.
So they can't blame us for not being close to them, for not telling them stuff or whatever.
Cos they don't even take the first step.

最近常失眠,靠的是听音乐电台入睡。
这里有些歌我想推荐:



张韶涵-白白的
词.李焯雄曲.陈伟

空白白的白的地又混浊变黑
我算是谁醒了还在原地
白白的灵魂的石会很容易碎
落入眼里想哭却没有眼泪
好想把一切都砸个粉碎
只有你才能给我一丝欣慰
你是无形的伤口
你平白地咬一口
再多的爱也不够呜~
都不够不够超完美伤口

空白白的白的天又混浊变黑
我算是谁醒了还在原地
白白的赤裸的心会很容易碎
落入眼里想哭却没有眼泪
好想把自己也砸个粉碎
只有你才能给我一丝欣慰

你是无形的伤口
你平白地咬一口
再多的爱也不够呜~
都不够不够超完美伤口
都不够却还有都不够却还有

空白白的我的心会一碰就会碎
只有你才能给我一丝欣慰 
 
当时听时是蛮好听的,不知为什么现在听就没感觉了。。。猜想是因为 relativity of time。。。
 总之呢,虽然歌词不怎么样,可是听起来蛮顺的,当时听着听着就觉得好听了。。。
 



Turn off the radio Turn on the lights you know
聽見了誰的痛 在空氣中 不斷跳動 又那麼沈重
Turn on your favorite song Turn off what I did wrong
聽見了誰的傷 在窗戶旁 安靜的想 是什麼力量
*
有沒有愛過我 (在寂寞的時候) 有沒有想過我 (還是根本沒有)
有沒有 有沒有 也會有一點心動 的時候 但是說不出口
有沒有 (後悔) 還是只有我
Turn on the radio Don’t wanna care anymore
也許沒有承諾 比較輕鬆 也不會有 沈重的枷鎖
Turn off your favorite song Just like there’s nothing wrong
也許時間一長 就會遺忘 就真的當 是誤會一場

韋禮安的《有沒有》,这就是我前几个 post 在寻找的歌。他的声音有点像放大同哦,歌曲的style 也是,起初还真以为是方大同。喜欢这首歌略带有jazz的味道,有点懒散,像一个lazy Sunday afternoon。。。
 




石康钧 - 不完美的完美

作词:小寒 作曲:李偲菘

生命是一块铁 沸腾才能刻写
明天的我 是不朽或浮生一瞥
人体内6公升血 一颗颗都如酒浓烈
为爱疯狂 没醉过的人不了解

哪怕偶尔得转换起点
哪怕选手缺少优先权 没得选
我将犹豫都甩开
将目光都锁在 同一个终点

前方越多的风险 冒险 越容易领先
我要我是谁 就算梦未遂
也不让现实这土匪
把理想都盗走 到老才数着后悔
感动是纤维 纺织后成为一张被
你将我包围 你的爱没白给
虽然我并不完美 我并不完美

心意坚定如铁 故事我自己写
你别看我 安静但内心很狂野
我体内所有的血 一分钟都不肯停歇
所谓疯狂 是不管他人的误解
哪怕偶尔得转换起点
哪怕选手缺少优先权 没得选
我将犹豫都甩开
将目光都锁在 同一个终点

前方越多的风险 冒险 越容易领先
我要我是谁 就算梦未遂
也不让现实这土匪
把理想都盗走 到老才数着后悔
感动是纤维 纺织后成为一张被
你将我包围 你的爱没白给
虽然我并不完美 虽然我并不完美
I'll be somebody someday

我要我是谁 就算梦未遂
也不让现实这土匪
把理想都盗走 到老才数着后悔
感动是纤维 纺织后成为一张被
你将我包围 你的爱没白给
虽然我并不完美

感动是纤维 纺织后成为一张被
你将我包围 你的爱没白给
虽然我并不完美
因为我不完美 才会是独特的谁 
 
石康军的《不完美的完美》,声音有点像林宥嘉,却也有自己的性格。
我喜欢这首歌的副歌,当音渐渐越来越高,到他用假音(应该是吧,我辨不出来),漂亮! 
他是新加坡人哦,可是好像是去台湾发展吧,总之,要支持哦!
他还有另外一首蛮好听的歌:
 




Enjoy!
