Some of his song was very melodic and original, will capture your heart in an instant. Some of his song you think its kinda boringly repetitive, but after many years of living and enduring the hardship, you start to change and you turn to enjoy the song you thought were boring, and you see the hidden substance.



The fist song of his that I fall in love with was "morning has broken". A haunting melody and a perfect musical arrangement. The guitar strumming accompanying with a stream of talking piano. Soon as it end the rewind button was hit and almost precisely at the beginning the stop button push and the strumming continue, those was the time of tape recording, to play back a song you'll need some time, but we done sweat the delay in anticipation, and the song get imprinted in the mind.

morning has broken



Used to savor his deep accent of folk, almost like tasting honey which is too sweet, listening to his folk song which is too folksy.



Sometime I wonder, maybe he is a better song writer than singer. The song he wrote make others more famous than he does. Of course to some part of the world he is too famous to surpass, but to the commercial scene some may not know his effort was the power behind very famous singer or should I say very rich singer, sometime with only one of his song bring to others maybe millions.

Patiently listen through these, the deliciousness will slowly seep and you could taste the rare 70's sweetness.

By: Maxi Priest - Wild World

And this has gone through to the 80's, still famous, still making money for someone else.

Once in a while some disco song come along and easily becoming popular. The style of this song is nothing new, fill with stain of the 70's. Even the halfway rap like male voice sound like reggae. enjoyable song, again feelings of the 70's floating around.




Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (born October 25, 1984), known professionally as Katy Perry, well this song may sound like she is taking a tricky path through the swamp, but with only one song may not reveal her true talent, she actually can write some pretty good stuff. 






But always with a little upbeat disco style is easier to gain popularity.



This girl has potential, but looks like she knows too well which one can sell which one not. I think she deliberately avoid putting up any artistic and deep stuff and run the risk of not selling well. Yeah, what good is deep sounding song if it cannot spread wide enough. Hope some day I might hear some really innovative stuff from her, she really has the potential to do that.

This one sounds like she purposely held back the climax, and hovering around what is not coming out and savoring tj sensual anticipation.


Listen to this one, how she play around with her voice, coming out from many ways, I can almost see a Madonna emerging. I wish for her the success of all she can achieves.

This song is so touching for me, I'd been through the era of Malaysia in the aura of"muhhibah" ( Harmony ). Since when did this vision been worn out, nobody have any idea, because it happens gradually, just like the story of the frog being cooked slowly in a gradually heating up water, even though the story may not be true but it reflects the situations of Malaysian, but with this song, we can see that there lives among Malaysians  who remembers those bonding we use to have. These people are trying to bring back our brotherly bond that buried deep in our society, which is now being purposely divided to serve someone's political ambition.


The scene that children playing paper football game brings back memories of our past, used to be no electronic devices with games, the only electronic device that carry entertaining function is the radio. Those time we used to listen to song from beginning till the end, but nowadays we don't do that anymore, so songs don't leave much impressions don't carry much emotions and feelings, the songs may still be of great quality like this one but we find it more difficult to sing along nowadays, because we are in a hurry, and that kills the deliciousness of a song which when brew long enough in our ears long enough will sink in our heart forever.

干净利落，听来非常舒服。虽然谈不上很创新，但就是这样简简单单的唱，不刻意左右音乐的流程，不管是不是受什么过去经验的影响，就只是让歌曲自然的流淌而出。很让人舒服的一支组合。
有时候安分的朝着你的方向慢慢走对于现代急躁的人而言可不是件容易的事。而有些时候越简单越难，月平凡越不容易。能够这样简简单单的创作简简单单的唱歌，对于现代好像不多。。。还是越来越多？。。。也许。。。但愿。。。那么我就有许多美好的日子等待我去享受了，因为我喜欢的风格抬头了。。。还是这种风格是历久不衰的？。。。。也许。。。。但愿。。。我并不是那么孤单的。

I was watching a science fiction drama (continuum，Rachel Nichols play Kiera Cameron) until this song came about. It was a back ground song of Hanna suicide, so sad...But with my latest understanding of living and dying, I am not feeling so sad, just watch with a different perspective, death is not the end of life, it is just a transition.

With the wonder of technology, now I can straight away look into the internet, and with this I fell in love with Dala. Simple and down to earth folk song, This type of music always attract me to dig deeper, I can see honesty without icing on their music, they don't seems to mind whether their music is lack of originality, creativity, just down right expressing their feelings through their music, that is all they seems to care. So glad to hear such sweet music again. Grateful to have them around making music for us.

无聊的时候在you tube随便找突然在心中升起的一个字Belief,结果拾到宝。蓝调的歌手我喜欢的不多，也许没有时间好好的坐下来听一听，也许没有心情，少年时的雅兴已经凋零。但是这个歌手，却能够一下子抓住我的心，一开始，我还对他咬词不清的唱法有点排斥，但是渐渐的还没待听完这首歌我就知道这是一位不错的歌手。他能够一下子抓住我的心的原因却原来是他民谣的背景，喜欢他的当然不能够只止于民谣，喜欢他的率直，虽然有时候好像有一点太过露骨的直接但是却还是喜欢他的忠于自己内心的风格。

一位歌手要忠于自己的内心，把感受毫无保留的表达出来，不做任何掩饰，忠于自己的灵感，不故意巧柔造作，就这样很容易就能够抓住众人的心。更何况他又长的那么帅。木吉他的时代，他的吉他技艺已经是一流的了，进入蓝调时期更加能够表达他的成熟的技艺，还能够不留余地的表露蓝调所不可豁免的率直和真实，蓝调就是能够把情感不再掩饰的倾述，不留余地的控诉，哭述，如是的真实不虚。

很独特的风格，很容易让人留下深刻印象的风格。很东方的一张脸孔，原来妈妈是马来西亚的华侨，纽西兰炙手可热的歌手，西洋的城市民谣，却带有丝丝的东方气息。这种气息就像糖溶进水里面了变成一种很独特的风格。整体而言，静静的听着，还蛮享受的。听着有一种我行我素的潇洒，一点不造作的熟练。不试着讨好任何人的一种表达，很吸引人。假音和她的本来的声音几乎没有分别的情况，这是她的天赋，有时还带有一点点伤风一样的声音，要很注意才听得出何时在运用假音，这也是她独特之处吧？

很喜欢这样的歌手，印象中找不到任何歌手像她，不管是唱法，风格，还是歌曲的调调，像谁呢？好像没有。她的独特之处首先应该是她的歌曲的曲调吧。

在写这段文字的同时，电视在播放美国偶像歌唱比赛。追求成名的歌唱和想把内心的灵感表达的歌唱，两者之间你选谁？如果参赛者不尝试讨好那几位裁判，她的结局会如何呢？如果他们不兼顾大众的口味，她们又能够过几关呢？有几位独特才华的歌手会来参与这样的比赛。有几位不想讨好任何人的歌手会来参与这样的歌唱比赛？现如今这样的比赛全世界在流行，发掘出一批又一批合规格的歌手，合规格的歌手不是不好啦，只是艺术方面。。。创意方面。。。。我所寻求的惊喜已经被埋在他们的规格里面。好在这些裁判还不能够垄断整个市场，我还能够寻寻觅觅的找寻我的惊喜。Bic Runga, Katie Melua, Zee Avi, Lisa Ekdahl 等等，等等这样的歌手能够在这种比赛拿第几名呢？。。。我看到对面两个印度同胞在谈天喝啤酒，喝酒有两类人，一种只求一醉，没命把黄汤往肚子猛灌，另一种人会慢条斯理的品尝，让酒精慢慢发酵，不急不躁，有些人就好像什么事都只追求最后的结果，把一切都划下定型的规格。
