我第一次聽這首歌是在廣州跟著我的朋友文宇,歐哥開著車放這首歌,説了心情不好的時候可以安慰他的心。我也這麼想。(I could have a few drinks to this one.)

Streetside Music

Tuesday, October 24th, 2006

I’ve got a few photos I’ve forgotten about. When I was in Beijing I recorded this man playing the erhu with my cellphone. I like street performers, recording with my cellphone and being able to play it back whenever I want.

Something You Can Feel

Tuesday, September 5th, 2006

When I was on my trip around Taiwan I met a friend who played the guzheng (古箏), a Chinese zither. I enjoyed hearing him play. I recorded a few songs with my cell phone. The one I liked hearing the most was 笑傲江湖 (Xiao Ao Jiang Hu). When I got home I found this other song that had a guzheng in it. It’s from a modern day pop movie, but the style is classic. I’ve been playing these songs on repeat for a while now. I’d like to find instrumental versions.

Miriam Yeung (楊千嬅) and Richie Ren (任賢齊) from
the movie Elixir of Love.
花好月圓

The theme song to the movie 笑傲江湖 (Swordsman),
sung by Sam Hui (許冠傑).
滄海一聲笑

I’m not sure what they’re saying but I can feel it. They’re singing in Cantonese (廣東話). 我願望會聼得懂 (I wish I could understand). Another song I’ve been playing is 心太軟 (Too Soft-hearted) by Richie Ren. I remember when I was on a trip to Taoyuan (桃園) with the Taipei Rotary Club, we sang Karokee on the bus. One of the outgoing guys that everyone called Wang Leehom sang this song. He sang pretty well too.
