Music Highlight

Back-track a bit, I’ve been listening to 曹格's 爱爱 on repeat. Yah, the song is duper mushy, but I like the tune, and the way the Cantonese lines are recited at the front. It has this very 60’s Hong Kong feel. And I keep thinking of the songs I heard at G.O.D. They are so nostalgic!

爱爱 - 曹格

Another artiste on my playlist: Joanna Wang. She’s the daughter of a veteran Taiwan song-writer, but she’s an ABC. The TW media dubbed her the Chinese Norah Jones; I think she sounds like the Tanya Chua before she stepped into the Chinese entertainment. Joanna has a very jazzy and calming voice. This is very bad! Because I overslept on the bus listening to her songs. Here's the English version of David Tao's 爱 很简单.

I Love You – 王若琳
Lyrics/Music: David Tao

I love you, say we're together baby, you and me

I can only give my life
and show you all I am in the breath I breathe
I will promise you my heart
and give you all you need if it takes some time
And if you tell me you don't need me anymore
that our love won't last forever, no~
I will ask you for a chance to try again
to make our life a little better, ooh~

I love you, say we're together baby,
say we're together, ooh~
I need you, I need you forever baby, you and me

You say you hardly know exactly who I am
so hard to understand,
But I, I knew right from the start, the way I felt inside,
if you could read my mind
If you tell me you don't need me anymore
that our love won't last forever, no~
I will ask you for a chance to try again
to make our love a little better, ooh~

I love you, say we're together baby,
say we're together, ooh~
I need you, I need you forever baby, you and me

Remember when you used to hold me
Remember when you made me cry
You said you loved me, oh~
You did, yes you did
