84. The Brightest Star in the Night Sky (夜空中最亮的星) – Escape Plan (逃跑计划) [clip]
85. The Common Sense of Break-up (分開的常理) – Jia Jia (家家)
I was actually a Jia Jia skeptic, but she’s actually got quite a nice voice. She’s born to Taiwanese aborigines parents, Bunun and Puyuma… and also has singing pedigree~ her uncle is Purdur (陳建年), a Taiwanese Puyuma singer winner of a Golden Melody Award for his 1999 album Ocean (海洋); and Jia Jia’s sister is Golden Melody Award Best New Artist folk singer Samingad (紀曉君).
Jia Jia has been nominated for two Golden Melody Awards on her own, for Best New Artist for her 2010 debut Unforgettable (忘不記), and for Best Female Mandarin Singer for the album Alone The Way (為你的寂寞唱歌).
86. Break-Up Night (分手夜) – Lie Gramophone (謊言留聲機) ft. LaLa Hsu [MV]
Third LaLa showing!
87. Once in a Lifetime (人一世物一世) – Mr. [MV]
88. Where Did Time Fly? (时间都去哪了) – Reno Wang (王铮亮)
And this is the song that made all of Mainland China cry like a mofo.
89. You Exist in my Song (我的歌声里) – Wanting (曲婉婷)
Qu Wanting’s song also made all of Mainland China’s singing contestants sing. lol
90. Lover Heart (愛人心) – Frandé (法蘭黛樂團)
Such a great feature! “Mama Get Me a Guitar” is cute. The Chin Tsai song is so good- what is the title? Either characters or pinyin romanization. Wow at Ding Wei. Laure Shang has such a cool voice. And I’ve probably said before that I really like the clarity of the voices of the Tibetan/-influenced? singers.
The Chin Tsai song is The Forgotten Times (被遺忘的時光) :) – and yes, they all have such quality to their voice. I love it.
/correction I was looking up DaiQing Tana & Haya Band and apparently they’re Mongolian. -headdesks-
Mongolian-Tibetan. Daiqing Tana’s song is called Migration (迁徙), same as the album. The 30min show on YouTube has different songs, including a version of Faye Wong’s Red Bean… if not mistaken.
and I forgot that the song was in Infernal Affairs!
My favorite new one is #4, Chinese Cabbage. Every time it comes on, I have to sing lol and my mom was listening to it, and translated saying it’s a super sad song! Something about not having your mom and your dad re-marrying, and being poor with your brother having something to wear and something to eat, while you are left with just broth and asking for something to wear.
You have to be grateful of the excess many live in now, the biggest complain has to be that iPhones and Galaxy phones are getting bigger. Seriously. Grateful for the food that I enjoy every single day.
