I hear he has a new CD out but I'm not sure if I'm going to like it. I really love his old stuff but lately he's just getting too cutesy.
My favorite album of his is Black Tangerine 黑色柳丁 which has some great tracks and really creative rhythm. I really haven't heard many artists like him, in Asia or US for that matter.
Here are some links to a few of his songs on Youtube Karoke style ;)
黑色柳丁
Melody - beautiful song about a heatbreak of his
我要翻译一首歌,叫米店,是野孩子乐队。我的问题是那最后一句话,真太难翻译!怎么?! 哈哈,我知道我写的英语太尴尬,不过我不知道怎么办,不要改变意思。 你们觉得呢?
如果大家要听着一首歌,去这个网站:http://www.tudou.com/playlist/playindex.do?lid=4170335&iid=21026830
3.米店
三月的烟雨 飘摇的南方
你坐在空空的米店
你一手拿着苹果 一手拿着命运
在寻找你自己的香
窗外的人们 匆匆忙忙
把眼光丢在潮湿的路上
你的舞步 划过空空的房间
时光就变成了烟
爱人 你可感到明天已经来临
码头上停着我们的船
我会洗干净头发 爬上桅杆
撑起我们葡萄枝嫩叶般的家
Rice Store
The misty March rain sways the south
You sit in an empty rice store
With one hand you grab an apple, with another you grab fate
Searching for your own fragrance
Beyond the window people buzz about
Gaze lost on damp streets
Your step streaks across the empty room
Time changes into mist
Lover you feel tomorrow has already come
Our boat is stopping at the pier
I can wash my hair clean, climb up the mast
It's as if our home were a vine of grapes, supported tenderly on a young branch
I dont know about everyone else but I couldnt see the music video at all.
So heres the URL

I also find Taiwanese pop music to be just as pleasant to listen to as mainland Chinese music. Jay Chou is actually Taiwanese isn't he? Anyway.. I am trying to work out who this band is and what other good songs they have.. may be what album this song is will also help. Would help to have English and Chinese name for the band. Obviously this song is called 你好吗.
Since it´s been a long, long time since the last lesson with a song, I thought I better post an easy and funny... well a song which maybe inspires you to a knew song lesson!
I heard this song on china 4 (talking ´bout internet 2.0...) and baidued it:
妈妈宝贝
词: 邢增华
曲: 陈炯顺
童声主唱:陈莹恩
演 唱:李冰冰
歌词制作:大盆
青青的草地 蓝蓝天
多美丽的世界
大手拉小手 带我走
我是妈妈的宝贝
我一天天长大 你一天天老
世界也变得更辽阔
从今往后让我牵你带你走
换你当我的寳贝
(间奏)
青青的草地 蓝蓝天
多美丽的世界
大手拉小手 带我走
我是妈妈的宝贝
我一天天长大 你一天天老
世界也变得更辽阔
从今往后让我牵你带你走
换你当我的寳贝
(间奏)
青青的草地 蓝蓝天
多美丽的世界
大手拉小手 带我走
我是妈妈的宝贝
我一天天长大 你一天天老

从今往后让我牵你带你走
换你当我的寳贝
妈妈是我的宝贝
妈妈是我的宝贝

我爱这个歌!
Yeh.. I know it's on the Secret (不能说秘密) album again. I just didn't realise how good this song was till I heard it a week or so ago. I had completely ignored it because I was enjoying the classical music so much.
I'm a huge fan of this Taiwanese group. I kinda liken them to the Chinese version of Coldplay. The lead singer's voice is pretty high, and some might mistake him for a girl... though, if you just listen to the music I think you'd like it!
Here are some of my favorites for you to check out:
小情歌 - great love song
爱人动物 - another great love song, if you look on youtube, you can find this one featured with "Juno" as a music video
小宇宙 - One of the first Sodagreen songs I heard, kinda rock'ish
我只在乎你(remake, live)
游乐 - I remember when I first heard this song I wasn't wild about it, but it grew on me (like a fungus!) Listen to it and you'll know what I mean, lol.
I've really enjoyed the two Newbie Lessons that use children's songs to teach vocabulary: the "Colors Song," and the "Hair and Shoulders, Knees and Feet Song." I've done a search for other lessons that also use such songs, but haven't come across them yet. I would love to find more of these children's songs; they're easy to remember and would be a good way to interface with 'little Chinese friends.'
Understanding and Appreciative Friends (高山流水 gao shan liu shui)
Understanding and Appreciative Friends
During the Spring and Autumn Period(770-476B.C.).there was a man whose name was Yu Boya. Yu boya famous music master at that time, having a good command of the temperament and superb skills in playing the musical instrument. He was bright and eager to learn when he was young. He had formally acknowledged several experts as his teachers,and his skills in playing the musical instrument had already reached a fairly high level. But he still felt that he could not superbly express the various things which had deeply impressed him. Knowing what was in his mind, his teacher took him to the penglai Island, a fabled abode of immortals, on the East China Sea by boat. On the island,his teacher let him enjoy the natural scenarios and listen to the roaring of the great waves. looking into the distance, Boya saw that the waves were turbulent and that the white breakers leapt skywards. Sea birds were circling in the air, and their crying was very pleasant to the ear. Trees were green and intriguing feeling welled up in his mind, as if he had heard the harmonious and charming music of nature. He couldn't help taking his musical instrument and playing it . He followed his inclinations while he was playing,and incorporated the beautiful nature with his music,thus reaching a realm of thought he had never experienced before. Seeing this,the teacher said to him,''You have mastered the art of playing."
Once,on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, he was boating for sight-seeing. The moon was bright and a cool breeze was blowing gently. With myriads of thoughts welling up in his mind, he began to play the musical instrument. The melodious music became more and more beautiful when a man on the bank shouted "bravo!" Hearing the shouting, Boya came out of the boat,and saw a woodcutter standing on the bank. He knew that this man was keenly appreciative of his talents, because he understood his music. He immediately invited the woodcutter to his boat and , full of zest, he played the musical instrument for him. When Boya played a piece of music eulogizing the high mountains,the woodcutter said,"wonderful!The melody is as magnificent and dignified as Mount Tai which reaches to the sky!" When he played a piece of music depicting the turbulent waves,the woodcutter said,"Wonderful!The melody is as vast and mighty as the great rivers!"Boya was excited,and said,"Bosom friend! You are really my bosom friend!" That woodcutter was Zhong Ziqi. Since then,they had been very good friends.
This story appears in The Works of Lie Zi.From this story,people have derived the set phrase "high mountain and running water" to refer to understanding and appreciative friends. This set phrase is also used to refer to melodious music.

高 山 流 水
春秋时代,有个叫俞伯牙的人,精通音律,琴艺高超,是当时著名的琴师.俞伯牙年轻的时候聪颖好学,曾拜高人为师,琴技达到水平,但他总觉得自己还不能出神入化地表现对各种事物的感受.伯牙的老师知道他的想法后,就带他乘船到东海的蓬莱岛上,让他欣赏大自然的景色,倾听大海的波涛声.伯牙举目眺望,只见波浪汹涌,浪花激溅;海鸟翻飞,鸣声入耳;山林树木,郁郁葱葱,如入仙境一般.一种奇妙的感觉油然而生,耳边仿佛咯起了大自然那和谐动听的音乐.他情不自禁地取琴弹奏,音随意转,把大自然的美妙融进了琴声,伯牙体验到一种前所未有的境界.老师告诉他:"你已经学了."
一夜伯牙乘船游览.面对清风明月,他思绪万千,于是又弹起琴来,琴声悠扬,渐入佳境.忽听岸上有人叫绝.伯牙闻声走出船来,只见一个樵夫站在岸边,他知道此人是知音当即请樵夫上船,兴致勃勃地为他演奏.伯牙弹起赞美高山的曲调,樵夫说道:"真好!雄伟而庄重,好像高耸入云的泰山一样!"当他弹奏表现奔腾澎湃的波涛时,樵夫又说:"真好!宽广浩荡,好像看见滚滚的流水,无边的大海一般!"伯牙兴奋色了,激动地说:"知音!你真是我的知音."这个樵夫就是钟子期.从此二人成了非常要好的朋友.
故事出自《列子·汤问》.成语"高山流水",比喻知己或知音,也比喻音乐优美.
Great for hearing Beijing accent. This blog post has translation and pinyin.
I believe that TANK is from the Taiwense band Fahrenheit. He has a great falsetto voice in this song. Be interested to know really what he is singing about in this song because I can't seem to find a full translation for this one.
The first part of the song title 三国 refers to "The Three Kingdoms" a period following the break-up of the Han (220-280). 恋 means to feel attached to/long for/love/.. So I can get a general idea of what the song is about but other than that I am uncertain.
Great song with a great melody and singing. This is a good example of western pop music meeting eastern pop music. Let me know what you think.. I love it :)

I've started a blog where I'm sharing some out-of-print reissues from Hong Kong of some old shidaiqu (時代曲)/ mando-pop songs from the 1930s-1960s. I've found them a pretty good way to memorize vocabulary and an enjoyable way to listen to the spoken language.
I'm scanning the booklets also, so you'll have the lyrics, and about once a week I'm going to post translations and notes for a song.
anyone is free to come by and try it out- there's absolutely no charge and no hoops to jump through. bear in mind that i've JUST started it, so there's not a ton of content yet, but if you check it once a week or so, there should be a steady stream of new stuff.
also- if anyone want's to offer their own translations of songs, I'd gladly accept submissions and give credit where credit is due.

Just curious if anyone on this site knows where you can get a guitar in Beijing. Acoustic or electric, cheap or expensive, name-brand or no-name, doesn't matter. I just want something to put my hands on, without going to Walmart for a kids' version of a guitar. So If nothing else, I would prefer it be a music store. Thanks for any suggestions.
Anyone else feel this way? No, it's not that "it's all mushy pop songs" or anything like that. It's just that any and all music sung in Chinese sounds like it's sung by Americans who have just learned the language and didn't care about pronounciation. It always sounds like they're mangling the Chinese language. I'm all "If you can't pronounce it properly, sing in a different language! You're just embarrassing yourself."
It's all because of the lack of tones, of course. Remove the tones from Chinese and it doesn't sound like Chinese. If you've heard someone speak Chinese with all the wrong tones, you know what I'm talking about. Anyone who sings in Chinese sounds like that to me.
Am I alone in this?
