[Challenge] Day 22 of 26

A song that makes you cry (sad)?

A song which I genuinely cry and feel sad when hearing is 不存在的情人.. I can't really describe why, maybe it's the piano and the strings in the music adding to the effect. Every time I listen to it I feel cold.

Another song which makes me cry every time would be 媽媽 by Vanness Wu, which is a song for his mum. It's less crying because I'm sad, and more because it makes me think about all the things my mum has done for me.

Other songs would be 乾杯 by Mayday.. it's the ending of the MV that does it.. and that's life for you ><

Favourite singer/songwriter?
Favourite song from favourite singer/songwriter?

JJ Lin 林俊傑
I don't really know what to say about him because I don't follow him much.. I just really love his music <3! Asdfgh.. His voice... is just amazing! Don't know how else to describe it, but every time I listen to it I feel like I've melted .__. He also composes a lot of songs for other singers~ A lot of them are known for their complicated, but meaningful lyrics.

I think his most notable song is '記得' (Remember), written for A Mei :) He has 2 duets with Ah Sa (Charlene 蔡卓妍）which he composed, one in cantonese and one in mandarin :) But my favourite song (more recently anyway) would be Nonexistent 不存在的情人.. I first heard it on 我愛男子漢, where a contestant performed it.. I cry every time I hear it and I don't even know why.. but yeah.. just.. a lot of emotions in the song.

Songs in his most recent album you should listen to: Romantic Mystery, Streets of Old Shanghai, Never Learn and Nonexistent.

Favourite album this year?
I included December 2011 since they promote in 2012 anyway :)

Second Round 第二人生 by Mayday 五月天 ^^ released in December 2011, it's themed around 2012 being the end of the world. Another wonderful album by Mayday! I really wanted to go to their UK concert earlier this year in March, but it was during my mock period D:

I love the song 乾杯 ('Cheers') where the lyrics describe the life of a person (and the MV too!) and.. I just really like the lyrics :) One of the songs, 洗衣機 (Washing Machine), surprised me when I read the tracklist because I wouldn't have imagined someone writing a song about a washing machine.. However, the melody is really sweet and catchy.

There are two main versions of this album where the songs are slightly different I think. The song OAOA has different lyrics depending on whether it is the 'No Where 末日' version of the album or the 'Now Here 明日' version... Just have a compare of the tracklist if you're interested -lazy- XD

Track List for 'No Where' version:
01) 2012
02) 倉頡
03) 洗衣機
04) 歪腰
05) 乾杯
06) 我不願讓你一個人
07) 星空
08) 三個傻瓜
09) 末日
10) OAOA (丟掉名字性別)
11) 第二人生
12) 諾亞方舟
13) 有些事現在不做一輩子都不會做了

Other notable albums this year include: JJ Lin's Lost N' Found 學不會, Alien Huang's Break Heart Black Heart 黑心傷品, Kimberley Chen's Debut Album, Show Luo's 9ood Show, Nick Chou's S.N.G.. among others, but yeah.. all my biases are above XD
