Music

I've changed the song for the blog heh... I absolutely love this song... Those who watched Gundam Seed Destiny probably will find it very familiar.

Fields of Hope - Rie Tanaka
こんなに冷たい 帳の深くで
貴方は一人で眠ってる

祈りの歌声 寂しい野原を 小さな光が 照らしてた

貴方の夢を見てた 子供のように笑ってた
懐かしく まだ遠く それは未来の約束

いつか緑の朝に いつか辿り着けると
冬枯れた この空を信じているから
Fields of hope
Fields of hope…

生まれて来た日に 抱きしめてくれた
優しいあの手を 捜してる

祈りの歌声 一つ消えて
また始まる 頼りなく切なく続く

いつか緑の朝へ 全ての夜を越えて
それはただ一人ずつ見つけてゆく場所だから
今がただこの胸で 貴方を暖めたい
(ずっと)
懐かしく まだ遠い 安らぎのために
Fields of hope…

懐かしく まだ遠い 約束の野原
Fields of hope
Fields of hope

Translation:
Beneath a veil so cold,
You deeply sleep, all alone
The melody of prayer; on the lonely fields,
a little light shined

I had a dream of you
You were laughing like a child
So dear, and yet so far -
That is the promise of our future

That one day, on a green morning,
One day, we will make it there
Because in this wintered sky
We still believe
Fields of hope

On the day we were born, we were embraced
And now we search for those gentle hands again
The melody of prayer; one vanishes;
And all begins again; a powerless, painful continuation

One day, to that green morning,
We'll cross through all these nights
Because that is the place each one of us searches for

Now, within my own heart,
I want to keep you warm
So dear, and yet so far -
In the name of peace
Fields of hope

So dear, and yet so far -
The fields of promise
Fields of hope

2 more CDs! Making it a total of $100 spent on CDs this month... Note that I didn't wait for my December paycheck heh. I bought Kaira Kwong's debut album, and S.H.E's new album.

Kaira - Kaira Kwong
Favourite Tracks:
1) Zai Yi Ci Yong You
2) Si Nian
3) Xiang Bu Xiang Zi You

Well, she's a female Singaporean artiste who looks pretty cute, but that's not her selling point. Her voice sounds quite warm and lilting, quite alike to Joi Chua but deeper. Her vocal range is pretty wide too, like Sun Yanzi. Those, coupled with the fact that she wrote most of the songs for this album, makes her quite a talented singer/songwriter.
Somehow, she vaguely reminds me of Corrinne May, in the sense that the lyrics really connects with the listener. All of the tracks in the album are pretty slow, which suits me as usual haha... But like Cheer Chen's album that I bought, it can get hard to individually identify the songs because they are all slow... It's less a problem in this album though. Anyway, I'd recommend the album to anyone who wants more of Sun Yanzi and/or Joi Chua. What a coincidence that they're all local. Hmm.

Once Upon a Time - S.H.E
Favourite Tracks:
1) Yue Gui Nu Shen
2) Tian Hui
3) Bu Zuo Ni De Peng You

Well, yet another album from them, and they continue to serve up their offering of pop songs which are easy to the ear. That being said, I like the fact that they can continue with what they're good at without sounding boring, since it's already been like... How many albums? Heh. Well all I can say is, "It's yet another album from them."

再一次拥有 - 龚诗嘉

我想念去年的冬天
下着雪的那一夜

你给我的温暖
紧握的双手 温暖整个寒冬

失去了曾经的拥有
在你离开以后
带走了笑容
只留下寂寞
忘了幸福是什么

没有你的夜特别漆黑
只能闭上双眼去感觉
没有我的夜 谁在你身边
代替了那个从前

能不能再听一次你说爱我
回到还再你怀里的时候
能不能让我 在一次拥有
曾属于我的温柔

能不能让我 再一次拥有
曾属于我的温柔
