was just surfing around youtube when i stumbled upon quite a couple of nice songs by 范曉萱..





especially liked e way the 2 mv above was shot, with quite a substantial amount of time showing her singing the songs.. i thought that the camera angles really managed to show her beauty and expression of the songs nicely..

tty was commenting on my lyrics 7 demo that the chorus seemed to end before it even started.. looking back, i feel that perhaps with a longer set of lyrics, it would aid in the build up of emotions that will climax in the chorus.. but then again, in the first youtube video above, 范曉萱's 自言自語, the lyrics are about the same length as mine but the feeling is very different.. i think e problem lies in that the melody for my first 2 verses is not too distinctly different from the chorus.. or wat they say in singing competitions.. 没有层次感..

other nice songs by mavis:
范曉萱 - 氧氣
范曉萱 - 雪人
范曉萱 - 哭了
范曉萱 - 你的甜蜜

Lyrics no. 7

苦冷咸咖啡

喝杯苦的咖啡
苦痛刺着我心田
没有你的甜美
只有苦痛的思念

喝杯冷的咖啡
冷风吹着我的脸
没有你在这陪
只有冷风的残念

喝着苦冷咸涩泪水加咖啡
尝着没你的滋味
心里无限的回味
原来这是分手的滋味
原来这是分手的滋味

喝杯咸的咖啡
咸涩洗着我的脸
没有你在这陪
只有咸涩的怀念

In a nutshell: this song talks about the different feelings experienced after break up..

Comments: this song is THE 1st song tt i've actually composed.. one tt actually has a melody.. and e inspiration came from nowhere while i was humming away in my shower.. all was completed in 2 hours.. well, e lyrics weren't long anyway.. but i'm not recording e song tonite yet.. so pray hard tt i don't forget the tune tml.. lol.. one point to note is tt e melody for e chorus seemed somewhat familiar.. and i'm not sure if it's from another song..

coincidentally, i was looking at lyrics 6 for formatting purposes and i realised tt lyrics 6 also touched on break up.. and it was perhaps a little strange tt my last comment for lyrics 6 turned out to be somewhat true..

on a sidenote, i was working on another set of lyrics.. one which i feel is quite important and something which i wanted to get out soon.. but tt has been left on e shelf for a while now and maybe when inspiration strikes again, i'll finish tt piece and post it up..
