A.P.P.L.E

On the way to work, I heard this song from the radio and I knew, this will be a song of my type. The song name is 小小 (pronounce as: xiao xiao; meaning: small, little, tiny, young). The music was composed by Jay Chou (周杰伦) and the lyrics was written by his partner Fang WenShan (方文山, sorry dude, I don’t know your English name). It’s a very “Chinese” tune (中国风), meaning using a mixture of Chinese traditional musical instruments such as Guzheng and Erhu. And the singer is a Hong Kong star, Joey 容祖儿.

The song says about a couple, know each other since when they were kids back in hometown. The girl always followed to boy to wherever he went. In fact, she fell in love with the boy. Perhaps many years later, they have to separate and the girl missed the boy a lot. From then, his little (when they were young) figure stays in her mind forever..while she is looking for the person in her story (which is no doubt, the boy).

Kinda sad, but it’s a nice song with good tune.

And this is the lyrics:

From her new released album “Dignity”, With Love is the featuring song. Hilary Duff has changed a lot. Not as chubby as before, but turning into a more sexy young lady. Although I’m not a big fans of Duff, I admire her a lot - her talent, her looks. I don’t care what other people think about her. She is cool. I wish to have a gorgeous figure like her ^^

I know sometimes I can be
All wrapped up and into me
I can be in such a rush (Such a rush)

Just slow me down (Down)
Slow me down (Down)
Tell me tomorrow everything I’ll be around
Just slow me down (Down)
Slow me down (Down)
You’re the one that keeps me on the ground

Baby you can be tough
Say enough is enough
You can even be blunt
Just do it with love love love love
Tell me I’m wrong
That I’m coming on way too strong
Don’t think I’d be crushed
Just do it with love love love love
Just do it with love love love love
Just do it with love

I can take your honesty
All your words sweet heavenly
Listening to you all the time (All the time)

Wanna be there for you
The way you’ve been there for me
Always helped me walk the line (Walk the line)

And slow me down (Down)
Slow me down (Down)
I know you will always be around

Baby you can be tough
Say enough is enough
You can even be blunt
Just do it with love love love love
Tell me I’m wrong
That I’m coming on way too strong
Don’t think I’d be crushed
Just do it with love love love love

All this time we finally know each other
Now that I’ll be leaning on your shoulder
I can tell you baby that you’re right and right and wrong and wrong
And I can be weak, ’cause I know you’ll be strong

Baby you can be tough
Say enough is enough
You can even be blunt
Just do it with love love love love
Tell me I’m wrong
That I’m coming on way too strong
Don’t think I’d be crushed
Just do it with love love love love

Baby you can be tough
Say enough is enough
You can even be blunt
Just do it with love love love love
Tell me I’m wrong
That I’m coming on way too strong
Don’t think I’d be crushed
Just do it with love love love love
Just do it with love love love love
Just do it with love
Just do it with love love love love
Just do it with love

Remember 3 days ago I mentioned about Laozhabor? She is a 60 plus-year-old-lady. She’s so cool as she has her own blog and now even rap too!!!! Oh my god! She is just a good example for telling the world that “Learning is a never ending process!”. 活到老，学到老。

Go, Laozhabor Go! Jia You!

I believe that “Amazing Grace” is a well known song for most of us. But have you ever heard of a guzheng (Chinese zither) version? Check this out! It’s played by a guy from Singapore under the name of coligar. Basically, he will upload his pieces of work to YouTube. I always enjoy his music - be it Chinese traditional songs or well known songs around us.
