Though many may not share my infatuation for Jay Chou, I still think his piano playing skills are second to none. As proof of my claim, I shall provide you with a grandeur Jay Chou performance, extracted from one of his recent movies, Secret.
Well, I certainly hope Jay will be around long enough for the next century to appreciate his music! Then again, time and tide wait for no men, teens of the next generation would probably fancy other music genres. That's what my parents say anyway..My dad would always go, "Imagine your children saying exactly the same thing to you!" whenever my bro and I rant and rave about him dancing to the 60's and 70's rock and roll.
I still remember the English SPM essay question I chose to answer was on music. I was elated when I saw that..and as usual I, being my garrulous self just meandered my way through :P Music is possibly one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me.
There were so many occasions in which music was my only companion-I would find myself locking myself in my room, crouching at a corner and just sobbing my lungs out if I were sad. On more joyous days, I would be hopping to the music with my bro. It really doesn't matter what the lyrics are like, neither does the language of the song play so pivotal a role. Music itself is a universal language already! Well, of course, the justified true belief is that the periodic table and maths are the ecumenical languages. I recall my aunt saying, "If you pointed K (in the periodic table) to an alien, they'd know exactly what to get you" :) Yes, she has rather vivid imagination.
Anyway, back to music! hehe..It's just always comforting to know that there is someone out there that comprehends your predicaments. Someone with empathy, and someone that expresses this understanding in a way so ambiguous for your personal interpretation. In a nutshell, with music, one would never be in solitude.
Oh dear me, I'd better get going! Have to practise for my singing class tomorrow..Don't forget to bring your umbrellas before leaving home! :D I shall attempt to sing *drumrolls* Whitney Houston's Run To You tomorrow, so am keeping my fingers crossed. For those who have never heard the song, enjoy the video attached
