感动,澎湃。 好歌,好人。

I head 疼傻人 on radio the other day when I was on the car with Carrie.

When the song ended, I looked at her and said :

" !@#$ this song is so good!!! Why do you have to do it SO SO SOOOOOO well???"

to which, in answer to my 'sour grapes' question she beamed proudly. Kns.

I have to say that the 12 lotus album is a really really good buy. Other than the memorable hokkien songs that were featured in the movie, you have some really good, 很有感染力 songs from the Funky猴子 gang...

My three favourites now include 疼傻人(duh!), 同花顺 and 一百万(by AMP)...

The brilliance of these songs... the music arrangement, the singing, the lyrics, listening to these three songs just leaves me breathless. So brilliant.

Let Yanzhi have a listen to 同花顺 in the car just now, and i could tell it also left him breathless when he heard Jim Lim hit those beautiful high falsetto notes. Yan could only muster a feeble "wow."

I have to second what Zijie said, yes, 老师你真的是神。

And then there's 一百万 which is so cool cuz it oozes musical freedom!~ There are so many surprises in one song! Be it the nonsensical high pitch "uh-huh uh-huh" (think pretty fly for a white guy song) or the tok-cock-sing-song manner the song was sung(which is so damn singaporean!) and the china-accented-narration towards the end of the song and the rhythm syncopated 哈哈 哈哈! right at the end!

I'm not too good with words, but really lar. These three songs. Damn Zai.

So please, buy the album. At 24 songs, its damn worth every penny. There'll be songs for your whole family. From the YOUNG to the OLD.

Which reminds me...周公‘s CD is number one on the CD rama charts!!! This should make history!!!!! I heard the entire album(very proud of myself.) and was freaked out a couple of times but must say this album was done very well. The entire production of this album is top notch man! All the spooky sound effects and the true stories... told by the master of story-telling himself(he's always telling stories.. even over meals.). So if you haven't gotten yourself a copy... go get one now and see how brave you really are!
