My Space - Tanya

Tanya has always been a favourite singer/songwriter of mine.. She is so talented that she should be placed with the likes of famous Singaporean songwriter/producer Lee Wei Song and Lee Si Song. Her amazing voice and songwriting skills have indeed wowed many since her first album.

The album that she recently came out with is My space. An acoustic live performance of some of her most famous songs. This is a great album that showcases her powerful yet soothing voice, and of course, her amazing songwriting skills. But amazingly, there are a few nice english songs on the menu that is a perfect blend to the compilation. One of my favourites would be 'Is it over now?' Tanya's take to it has a more lounge feel... And of course, this english version of the song is a perfect demo to the one sung by Karen Mok.. Other english songs include blower's daughter and change the world, which offers a nice alternative to the original singers...

However, songs like 记念 and 达尔文 are just a few of my favourites in the album.. The lyrics and song blend so well together, just makes you wonder how are these songs written in the first place.. And with Tanya's immaculate voice, its just pure bliss to be able to listen to it in the comfort of your room..

Well, dont take my word for it, listen to it for yourself, 'My Space', truly a great compilation album fit for a great singer/songwriter...

Kun Lae Kun (Gun Lae Gun)

Hmm.. I dunno the actual english title for it.. some says its You and Me, hopefully it is.. ha

Anyway, the song is in the movie Love of Siam, which opened in Thailand in nov 2007. Well, its not in Singapore, and probably never will be because of its 'controversial' theme, but I watched it through some 'ahem' means and its actually not bad.. A 2.5 hours long movie though, I heard the director's cut for it is 4 hours.. o.0 Anyway, it really is a sad movie I think.. ha..



That is the official MV for it but, the english subbed version of it is here...
Gun Lae Gun - English Subbed

Actually I think the movie is superb, the theme in there may be hard to accept but I think its so pure and real that its hard to deny.. Oh well, watch it for yourself to get what I mean... =)

Xin Qing Rong Ji - 回忆

Yea, the results are out and.. Im not in the final 10... Yeap, kinda sad.. But as this is my 1st chinese composition, I guess Im not particularly too upset, just that it is the last year that I can enter the competition. Oh well, didnt have enough time to remake another version, so I sent in the earlier version. Oh well, no comments from 2 judges and the last judge said that melody had no hook.. Ha.. I leave the song here for your opinion.
