The Great Leap
Haven been posting for a few days... mainly cos i dun hv much to say...
I've been browsing thru the blogskins but cud nv get pass a certain pt.. there'r simply too many! N i cun find sthg tt reali catches my eye... Also i hv difficulty downloading the skins which some others also experience.
Talked about miracles over lunch. Miracles never happen without effort.... That's my take...
Anyways have been listening to dave's album recently...For more than a mth to be exact. It wasn't impressive on the first listening but it made an impact on the second. Some tracks reali inspired me. Haven been listening to chinese songs but I certainly won't miss any of his albums.
Track 01: Ghost
There are ghosts all ard us. And there is a ghost in each and everyone of us just like there is evil is all of us. Evil tots, evil deeds make us ghostly. And when we rely too much on technology and are so obsessed with progress that we cannot be bothered with ple and affairs ard us, we'll become ghosts. Just like zombies....
Track 05: The Art of War
While we lead our luxurious lives, with all the recreation and entertainment, we are tearing apart nature bit by bit.... Some day our grandchildren will blame us when there's no more seasons, no more land and what did we do to our earth that leave them with trash. We already have alot but we want more... There are great disparities and u call tt civilization. It's a never ending war with nature and we'll pay for it... one day...
Track 06: Who do you love?
Love and Lust... Check out the MV, a story based on 张艾玲‘s "红玫瑰，白玫瑰“
Track 07: Susan said
My current fav.... U'll understand the song more if u know "稣三起解", a famous chinese opera. Check out the opera and rap in e song!
Track 09: Sula & Lampa
Read that out loud in hokkien... a very cheeky song. To hell with paprazzi...
I like e rest of e tracks but dun hv much to say abt them.. Listening and liking the tune is one thing.... How I hope ple can also appreciate music for it's orginality and the lyrics and meanings that e song writer is tryin to get across. Der is more to music... But well diff ple have diff taste...U've got to listen and appreciate this album with a new prespective. It's nothing like e previous ones, not as melodic. So if u r a person tt prefers singer to croon in their usual way, music in a single style and not tt receptive to new music concepts, u'r prolly not gonna like this. I prefer changes in every album, in all songs in the album... I'm a person who'll realli hold the lyrics booklet close and scrutinise every detail, for albums that i bother to buy of cos! I'll definitely check out the credits and e thank you speeches, for I wanna know who's involved in e production, who did the backup, the arrangements and who wrote e songs, as well as any other artistes who may hv collaborated. And i like to find out e stories behind each mv... so u'll understand e mv tog w e song. Thou most mvs dun hv any meaning... FYI, he worked with the 12 Girls Band... And there's a tribute to Anita... A song specially writtened for her...
Ok tt's all I have to say at the sci canteen.. haha If u've heard the album share ur reviews too!
