Today's a special day. 23rd July.... Happy Birthday Yan Zi!

when listening to this song, I can just picture the whole scene of a person driving a car up to a mountain and looking at the scene on the top of the mountain, thinking of escaping from this world. Nice lyrics, melody and of course Yan Zi's singing.

An Indian inspired song.


我不難過 ( Wo Bu Nan Guo) I'm Not Upset

Simply love this song. The lyrics + melody + the way Yan Zi sang it with such emotions. The MV is quite nicely done too. Sad song that touches the heart.

Translation of the lyrics
Finally you told me how gentle she is.
I really know that you're not a fickle person (ditch the old and like the new).
Its because I wasn't there to accompany you when you were lonely.
Don't look at me and tell me that you've loved me (before), so I don't have to be so upset
I'm not upset. This is nothing. But I dunno why my tears are flowing....
Let me go. Let me enjoy the freedom.
Lots of memories. My life will be filled with memories of you.

Hug me tighly. Hug me tightly again. Just let me remember this feeling.
Don't tell me it's your fault.
At this point of time, it doesn't matter who's right and who's wrong, just let them be gone with the wind.
Forget everything.
Lead a better life than you.

My Story Your Song

Her vocals has definitely changed throughout these years. Her voice was clearer last time. Now, it has more volume and emotions. Her Chinese prounciation is also abit different now. Haha. But her vocals are still as powerful and touching as ever.
