很难想象一只琵琶可以表达这么多。。。除非眼见为实。完美的轮指。。。





还可以这样？？？

When you are forty something and heard your favourite song, first ever favourite song, how would you feel? I was 12 years old or maybe 10, when I unconciously fall in love with this song, it will play in my head, over and over again, and always brings up this warm feeling inside my belly, and I love it. Thirty years later those feeling still lingers when I heard this song, if not stronger, age is catching up on me, getting old...first fall in love....

"With a vibrant, sassy mix of jazz, hip-hop, mambo, swing and pop, Emerald's debut - Deleted Scenes From the Cutting Room Floor - is decidedly commercial, nestling neatly beside the showgirl vibes of Paloma Faith." was the coment from BBC News.
I just love the beat that she produces. 40 50's jazz, just love those jazz erra, been searching for this kind of music all my life, and here come and old style with a modern touch.

She has such a groovy vioce.

Once in a while a cover version sound not less better than the original. Maybe it's the technology, maybe this one is less wild or more refrain than the original one, and make it more commercialized. Sometime commercialized is not bad at all, it made all that easier to swallow.

This is the original singer, Joni Mitchell. Not saying that her version is not better than the counting crow version. I love it just the same.




Later on Joni put up a new version of her own. very creative one. I love it, not same but love it another ....?



It's funny a cover version can sound "OLDER" than the original one.



This one manage to turn the big yellow taxi into small blue one.

Listening to this song reminded me that I am aged, but I am not sad, just glad that I got the chance to enjoy this song when I was young. Smooth easy going song. Nobody seems to care writing this kind of song any more. But a nice song is a nice song, doesn't matter if it sells or not, it will simply make its mark.

How did this song came back to me? I don't know, it just sing in my head, don't even know who was the singer, but I remember the lyrics, "I am easy". With the miracles of you tube, I am able to hear it once again. Those audience looks old time but never the song, good song will last through time without carrying any wear and tare.

I was walking, shopping in Popular Book store and I heard her, So stylish, individually jazz personal style. I try to ignore but I couldn't, so I walk up to the counter and ask who is singing now, they give me a name "Zee Avi", I thought what kind of name is that? She from Indonesia? looks like one. Sorry to say it didn't (not never) cross my mind that she is local Malaysian. Groovy kind of singing, happy with little sad lyrics, how odd? But I cannot erase her voice from my mind, and fall in love with first "heard".

Really interesting lyrics.


Zee Avi - Concrete Wall

This song is really hynoical. Half way thru I fall into a trance.
