to be colorful

Isn't it too naive to listen to this song when you are already over 30? Haha, anyway, it is still a cute and adorable song from Enchanted. I love how Disney give us so many pretty and loving stories, even though they're fairy tales. But with beautiful songs and crystal clear minds, I'm still buying them. 

True Love's Kiss

(Giselle/Amy)
When you meet this someone
who is meant for you
Before two can become one
there's something you must do
(Woodland Creatures)
Do you pull eachother's tails?
Do you feed eachother seeds?
(G/A)
[Laughs] No, There is something sweeter everybody needs.

I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss
And a prince, I'm hoping, comes with this
That's what brings ever-aftering so happy
That's the reason we need lips so much
For lips are the only things that touch
So to spend a life of endless bliss
Just find who you love through true love's kiss

I actually don't know what "clair de lune" means. Only know that it is about moon. It also is soft music played by piano. When I watched this music played in youtube, it showed different kinds of moons. There're soft moon, blue moon, dark moon, light moon. Moon by the sea, by the forests, by the sand. I'd say those are beautiul but somehow scary scenery... 

I love this music. I love the tranquil atmosphere it brings. 

This probably is the most famous song from Chopin. I like Chopin's piano music, especially when it is slow. They're always tender and mild and soft. They touch people's heart and soften the mind. In a turbulant world like nowadays, a wonderful and soft piece of music is needed. 

I admire music in the old times. They're masterpieces. Share with you.

This song is one of my favorite songs recently. I heard it from Glee performed by Kurt and Blain. Firstly I saw it from YouTube and it was nicely performed by them, even though both of them are guys. It showed the sweet and cute atmosphere between two young people. To read the lyrics, it makes me like this song more because it is just cute! A nice song to listen to especially in X'mas season. Share with you.

Baby, it's cold outside

I really can’t stay (Baby, it’s cold outside)

Another old Chinese song. So I heard this song another day when I was eating breakfast. It was played from the radio. I had to admit that I prefer old songs a lot becuase they're always pure and sincere. They touch your heart with simple melody and lyrics. Both English and Chinese, I prefer the old ones.

This song is absolutely a great song. Even though it is a bit sad, it described lovers' mood precisely. With Lin's amazing voice, it is a hit back then. Still one of the best till now of course.

輸了妳   贏了世界又如何

       朦朧之間   彷彿我又看見妳的臉
       依然帶著淡淡憂愁的雙眼   忽隱忽現

I heard this song from Glee (not lady gaga). I really like the melody and how the glee performed it. It's mr. shu singing with another lady (forgot her name) as a duet. It's very nice and romantic.. I easily got touched from this kind of scene. Especially like the wonderful duet. Share with you guys.

You and I (in Glee)

It's been a long time since I came around.
It's been a long time but I'm back in town. This time I'm not leaving without you.

I didn't have chances to see many musicals. But, so far, the musicals I saw were quite good. Among them, I like "phantom Of the opera" the most (well, ok, I like the lion king too). 

I'm a person without patience. So, I easily get bored when the movie or drama isn't that good, but, for phantom,  it is so good that I felt my emotion entirely followed the musical from the beginning to the end. Of course, one of the great success is the musical. It isn't like other operas with high-pitched voice all the time. On the contrary, the songs and music are modern like pop. In Phantom, I like "think of me", "phantom of the opera", "all I ask for is you". 

When I was in junior high, I already listened to phantom and tried to memorize the songs. I do think it is a very good musical. If I have the chance, I'd love to see it in broadway (or smaller theater), cuz I saw it in Taiwan stadium in Taipei and this place is too big for a musical.. Well, anyway, to listen to the songs are nice too.

Another inspiring song from MJ. I have to say no one can compete with MJ.. He was incredibly creative and full of energy. He can write sensational songs and also can perform good slow songs. This one is an inspiring one which can make people to think more about human beings. As we complain about the life, what we have to do is actually very simple, that is to change ourselves. And this is what this song about- to change yourself first so that the world can be changed to a better one.

MJ, you're the king of pop!

Man in the Mirror

I'm Gonna Make A Change,

My mom watched a movie "Tootsie" tonight, and I heard of this song and liked it very much. It's quite old-fashoned but really romantic. This song with the scene in that movie is just clicked. And that actress was Jessica lange! I couldn't imagine that she's so pretty when she's young. If you'd like to dance with your lover, this song would be a good one.

It might be you

Time...
I've been passing time watching trains go by

One of my favorites. Also one of the popular songs in the wedding. I love the lyrics of the song. It vividly shows the scenery of the lovely couple in the country side. I love the pure and simple feelings in this song. Also the two lovable words "kiss me"!

Kiss Me

Oh kiss me out of the bearded barley,
 Nightly , beside the green, green grass

Another song from 優客李林. Actually I like this singing group quite much. This is a song about friendship and the melody shows it too. It is casual and easy. When we were in college or senior high, we always would have a time to sing together with friends. And this kind of song is always the best choice. It is not love songs, not heart-broken songs. It is pure happiness and energy for youngsters. Hope we all once had this kind of time and enjoyed it.

           少年遊    優客李林
                                                                               
           就像山風吹不落的一場雨

I like the melody of the song. Actually, the other day I heard it from a radio show and it was sung by another taiwanese singer 周華健 - I think that was in Chinese version. Then, I found a second-hand CD sung by 優客李林 from a store and bought it, since it contains so many memories when I was young. So many songs I liked. If don't hear the lyrics, I do think the melody should sing the beauty of love. However, it is about loneliness. So, anyway, it is a good song.

  Ocean Deep

  Love, can't you see I'm alone
  Can't you give this fool a chance

For most of Jonathan Lee's songs, I like this one the most. Firstly I like the melody of it, soft and lazy. I listened to it when I was in college and didn't understand (or feel) quite well this song. And since I start to listen to Janathan Lee's songs again lately. I still like this song very much and more importantly, I kinda understand more of it. This song is a view from people who have had many love stories and have a bit sarcasm to love. And the best part is the scene description from the song- all I can say is, Janathan Lee, you are the master!

陰天

陰天　在不開燈的房間　當所有思緒都一點一點沉澱
愛情究竟是精神鴉片　還是世紀末的無聊消遣
香煙　氳成一灘光圈　和他的照片就擺在手邊

Who said it's an aries month? I don't think so. I still lived the same life and even more, I can feel more about songs from Johnathan Lee- and I don't think it's a good sign. Johnthan Lee always writes about love in real lives, which means cruelty and loneliness. So, lately I listen to a song (an old song actually) "愛情有什麼道理". Yes, it is the song I listen. And yes, it isn't for young people for sure. It's for older and more lonely ones. Well, live the life and feel the life.. I guess that's all I can say now, even though much of the time, it's wordless.

愛情有什麼道理

Another song from Tiger Huang. This is a popular song and it's about New York, the big apple. I only have been to NY once when I was in junior high, so I have only few memories for it. If there is another chance to visit again, I think one week may not even be enough for me, because so many places to visit and most important of all, it's New York! so many tv shows are all about live in New York. The central park, the metropolitan, the 5th avenue, the NYU.. these are remarkable places in tv shows. Well, this is a great song about New York. I can feel vividly NY spirit from it. I heart NY.

New York, New York

Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today
I want to be a part of it - New York, New York

So, I bought many cheap DVDs from China, and some of them are the live concerts. As I listened to a concert from taiwanese singer Tiger Huang (Hsao-Hu Huang) singing "Smoke gets in your eyes", I had this feeling that I'm in a beautiful and leisure place and enjoy the concert live! Even though Tiger Huang isn't a pretty idol but she definately a great singer. She can handle the concert's atmosphere very well. So I enjoyed the song very much and fell in love with the old great songs again!

I don't listen to classic music a lot. But I do sometimes listen to them and can always feel the peace. For the classical music, Chopin's "Nocturne" is one of my favorites, especially when it was used to be the CF music for Volvo. You can see a lady drives a volvo with the beautiful music to suburbs- how comfy that is! If I have a car, I may do the same thing, to drive the car to a quiet and peaceful place and to enjoy the sea and breeze, but I probably will bring a friend so that we can chat a lot. Well, "Nocturne" is healing music I suppose. Just listen to "Nocturne" and you'll find yourselfe in leisure time and learn to enjoy the life!

It's a special song for me. This song was very popular about 18 years ago due to the famouse Japanese TV drama- Tokyo Love Story. When the first sound of the song starts, I can soon recognize that this is "the song". It always brings many memories for the so-called sixth-graders. Actually the story is simple compared to the TV shows nowadays, but it was a big big hit in both Japan and Taiwan then. We can say this is the very first popular TV show regarding love stories among young people, and it is just like a story happening among us. A nice story, pretty actors, plus a wonderful song made it a big success.

So I got a bad cold and want to listen to something soft. Surprisingly, I chose Norah Jones' "Don't know why". I don't quite know the content of the song, but the melody is very jazzy. It soothes my jaded spirit in some ways. The melody is so successful that I don't even want to understand it and can just listen and enjoy it. Recommand it to those who have a tired day and want to have a relaxing night.

Cheers to us, who live in a big city jungle and try to stay alive- well, spiritually.

Don't know why

I waited ’til I saw the sun

What is the biggest entertainment news in Taiwan now? Yes! SNSD (少女時代)! From TV news, we saw lots of teenagers are crazy for them and would wait for long time to see their concert. Are SNSD's songs really that good? I don't know because I didn't hear all of them. But I definately heard the most popular one "Gee". When I first saw the MV, I was thinking "Wow, these young girls' legs are long and straight. Korean entertainment is really something." From the MV, there are colorful dresses, beautiful figures, cute dances and pretty faces. I really admire how Koreans are so dedicated and professional to their show biz. Back to the song itself, it is fast and cute. Even though I don't understand any word of them, I still would love to hear it from beginning to the end. So, haven't heard of SNSD? Go to youtube and see "Gee"!
