I've always been very selective about the songs i listen to. The lyrics plays a very big part to whether i like it or not. and for some songs, the MV plays a crucial part in attracting people.
There have been many examples, that the MV made the song. 1st on the list will be 童话 by 光良. when i first heard the song, i thought.... "So So nia ley...what's the big fuss?" but when i finally get to see the MV in Kbox, i was immediately touched by the song. Nope, i didn't get all teary like most people do, but it did struck a cord in my heart.
I did like the song..... until i felt that it was OVER played. you can practically hear the song everywhere~ On the streets when you are shopping, in a bus through the TV mobile, On the TV through singing competition, in KTV pubs (simply cannot understand, within 1 hour, 4 people chose to sing the same song!) it was definately overplayed! to the extend that... there was once i almost puke when i heard the song.
Lately, i'm kindda attracted to this MV by FIR, titled 月牙湾. Like i said, i'm attracted to a song mostly for its lyrics. though i've never been a fan of FIR, but somehow i thought this song have a strange mystical rock feel to it, that catches my attention. the chorus part of the song goes like this:
是谁的心啊孤单的留下
他还好吗我多想爱他 <--- Cheezy
那永恒的泪凝固的一句话 <--- Superb
也许可能蒸发 <--- Superb
是谁的爱啊又为谁降下 <---- Clever
轻声呼唤就让我融化 <--- Nice choice of words
那一滴雨水演化成我翅膀 <--- Superb
向着我爱的人追吧 <---- Too cheezy. haha
Lately the one and only song i'm impressed with.... with be Tanya Chua's 当你离开的时候. this song...... how should i put it.... erm.... i classify this song as a type of MOOD. her singing is very Norah Jones, very pleasant, very "sofa-music". Thought she transmitted that particular state of mind over to me very clearly. Oh ya.. did i mention that it is almost impossible to sing Tanya's song in KTV in "normal" or "O" key? haha
