再见。。。 优客李林


Just came back from S'pore Expo... my favourite Chinese group 优客李林's concert...

A taiwanese group which released their first album in 1991...

The year when I started learning to play the guitar...

Was mesmerised by the guitar chords of their song 认错... a song which any decent guitar player who's into chinese pop would love to play and sing...

Was another beautiful and joyful experience, listening to 林志炫 singing live... He's one of the very very few male singers whose falsetto could sound so beautiful...

And it's an inspiration and admiration to relive the mastery of 李骥's songwriting prowess...

优客李林's music has been very distinguishable amidst all the run-of-mill chinese songs before they disbanded... A very unique 优客 brand of music and style... Something which all the full-house crowd tonight could associate with...

Found one of their songs which I love a lot on YouTube, both the music as well as th lyrics... and again, nobody's writing lyrics like this anymore...

黄丝带
作词:李骥 作曲:李骥 编曲:Tony Smith

站在面无表情灰色丛林中
面对冷默的你
也许等待的我不能再让你感动
将离开的你教我不知该怎么做
好久以前这样的心情也曾有过
年少的轻狂 曾经让你走出我心中
现在你已将一切带走
我想这一次我也失去所有

等待你的我的心还在守候
守候对我冷默的你的眼会回头看我
离开我的你的背影是否听见我
我的爱你的心在门口守候



Took this poor quality video during the concert...

认错....perhaps the only mandarin song I know how to sing back then..though it was released more than a decade ago, this song remains a fav... really transcends through time... darn.. didn't know they were performing..
