From the lyrics…I am guessing it is reflecting on a relationship that didn’t end well? And while the song is titled “Baoqian Baoqian” aka “Sorry Sorry” the cool part is the lyrics themselves actually say “I’m not sorry. Sorry.” Messy. The city lights and trees are going mad. Yeah, it’s a dream you scribble. . . . You have to

An interesting concept. Things you experience in life can cut you like a knife, but that doesn’t always make it a bad thing. Zheng Jun wrote “Knife” as a love song for his wife. It’s his first performance on the Chinese show I Am a Singer-Songwriter. This kind of pain is like the joy after being shocked. This kind of

I am not familiar with a lot of Chinese artists, I admit. This was my first experience listening to Huo Zun on the second season of China’s Singer-Songwriter competition. He performed his original song “Starfall” which has a very deep meaning behind it. Even though life is hard and you are but a little star…embrace the beauty in life and

Remember in August I did a giveaway for music? Yeah. Fast forward to November and I finally got around to completing the promised playlists. Yes, I am soooo bad. Below is the playlist won by lynette31. I had to make some adjustments because songs that were once available via iTunes went “poof” so you’ll get to see the original choice

Well, more like Chinese, Taiwanese, and Cantonese (that’s music from Hong Kong…right?). This playlist is at nearly 100, but that is mainly because I actually put in a lot of songs from whole albums because I loved the albums as a whole (and I loved the artists, too of course). If you find something you enjoy, don’t forget to support
