Within You’ll Remain

xinlin — Fri, 15 Jun 2012 03:37:13 +0000

I guess most Singaporeans and Malaysians know this song but they might not know its name until they hear the classic riff.

To my surprise, this song is from a Singapore band called Tokyo Square. According to Internet resource, Tokyo Square was formed in 1985 by Max Surin. Honestly, it’s a bold endeavour during that time to combine Western (Electric guitars, bands) and Eastern (Gu Zheng at the start and Chinese lyrics) elements in a song, but the creativity did pay off.

A Simple Life (桃姐)

xinlin — Mon, 07 May 2012 16:50:58 +0000

A Simple Life (桃姐) proves that a good movie does not necessarily need overloaded computer graphics and hightech gimmicks like 3D filming. The storyline itself is the whole selling point and it touches my heart.

Andy Lau (刘德华) and Deanie Ip (叶德娴) don’t seem like “acting” in the movie at all, and that should be the reason why this movie swept many trophies in several film awards.

Of course, the credit should also be awarded to the director of this move, Ann Hui (许鞍华).

The theme song starts playing at the beginning of the movie. It’s gentle, soothing and touching.

Silver Paradise from from Scarlet Heart (步步惊心片尾曲 – 三寸天堂)

xinlin — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 17:09:50 +0000

It has been “quite a while” since I last posted my last music score. I was not completely idle during this “a while”, at least I am still paying attention to www.ahdoe.com and being responsive to all the emails and requests.

My urge to transcribe this song came right after finishing this drama called “Scarlet Heart” or “Startled by each step”, which is the English translation of 步步惊心.

I did not know anything about the plot when this drama is being aired in Singapore. It was its theme song that captured my attention, then followed by watching this drama. The consequence: addiction! (Traumatized for 2 weeks!)

Written, composed and performed by a Chinese artist called Yan Yi Dan (严艺丹), the song named Silver Paradise (三寸天堂) just couldn’t get out of my head and I decided to put this song into notes:

Twilight Saga: The New Moon

I am not sure why Alexandre Desplat did the soundtrack for Twilight Saga. Carter Burwell was quite good as well isn’t it? And so, this will be the third Alexandre Desplat’s composition that I had worked on.

Out of so many songs from the soundtrack, I chose “The Meadow” because it is relatively easier than the rest. There are no complicated harmonics or flying notes. Just simple appregios and simple melody.

Who says nice music has to be complicated anyway right?

2) Chords included, although not necessary

Yanni – With an Orchid

xinlin — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 14:39:49 +0000

This piano sheet is for Elysia.

I have been in love with this song since many years ago. There is just something special about this song but I don’t know how to describe it.

This version is slightly different from what I’ve played in front of you and it’s closer to the original. Remember I couldn’t even recall the sequence of the whole song? You should be referring to this piano sheet instead of my playing.

Rainy days and mondays always get me down

xinlin — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 16:23:12 +0000

Talking to myself and feeling old

Sometimes I’d like to quit

Nothing ever seems to fit

Hangin around, nothing to do but frown

Rainy days and mondays always get me down

As Time Goes By – Korean Drama Style OST (By Request)

xinlin — Sun, 16 May 2010 16:04:56 +0000

Received this request around 2 months ago through the request form.

Reminded me that I have not watched any drama for a long long time. The last one was a TVB drama in last year’s November. The worst of all, I’ve never heard anything about this Korean drama called “Style” before. Is it new?

Well, let’s put that aside and focus at this song first.
