AhDoe – Music as an International Language

We had painted heart from painted skin, painted veil and now we have this sand painting…

Seems that they have this common hobby.

No piano sheet yet. But this is basically how it sounds like.

What do you think?

I am going to offend Jerry’s fans if I say so: Jerry isn’t good in singing, he is better in acting.

That’s true, at least for me, until I heard this song.

Wow wow, Jerry Yan in Venice, with Rialto Bridge in background.

I first heard this song at Yes 93.3 and thought it was beautifully written and presented. After several times, I decided to find out what this song is and who is the singer. I waited and waited, and finally one day, the DJ announced its song name and to my shock, Jerry Yan sang it! That cool and arrogant guy in Taiwanese Meteor Garden 8 years ago.

Before we talk about Jerry, I really ought to give a credit to the composer and arranger for doing a good job. Alex Fung (冯翰铭) is that composer who wrote many songs for a number of pop singers such as Andy Lau, Twins, Andy Hui etc. This time, Jerry improves a lot in his singing. His presentation surprised me and convinced me that he put a lot effort in his singing career.

About this piano sheet:

1) It’s in original key, Eb Major

2) Chords and lyrics included

This song is a good choice for drama theme. At some point, the chords and melody resemble typical Korean Drama soundtrack. Ah Doe recommends you to play it gently. If you manage to play it well, perhaps you’d impress the girl you like. 🙂

If I were to name some talented singers in today’s music industry, Jam (萧敬腾) is definitely in! He is really one of those singers who really catches people’s attention by just singing. I am really curious how much power he has in his skinny body. Wow, you should watch him singing Bon Jovi’s It’s My Life.

There is BOOMZ in it, you know? 🙂

Apart from the leading track called The Princess (王妃）from this album, I like this song called The Devotees/ 善男信女 very much.

About this piano sheet:

1) It’s in original key, G Major

2) Lyrics and chords included

I did not listen to the lyrics until I did this piano sheet. It’s rather sad in fact. The devotees in the lyrics actually meant the men and women who are devoted to love, but failed to achieve a successful relationship in their pursue.

And here comes the piano sheet.

I had no where to run!

I checked my comments, my readers say they want Singalongsong!

I checked my email, my readers say they want Singalongsong!

I checked my database, my readers say they want Singalongsong!

There were youtube links, MP3 links, personal IM. There must be a spell in this song!

Singalongsong is a song from Khalil Fong’s Orange Moon Album

I personally like my transcription for this song because the rhythmic Jazz beat and the melody is well taken care of. You should know that there is always self-satisfaction after completing a challenging task.

This is how the link works:

Self-satisfaction <------- Challenge <------- Jazz <------- Khalil Fong's Song!!!!!! This is why when I decided to do Khalil Fong's song, I need to relax and dedicate myself solely to this project.

Let me know how you find this song. Whether you like it or not, or whether you have any better suggestions! Look forward to hear from you guys.

I did not know who Alexander Rybak is. On top of that, I didn’t know what Eurovision Contest is. Yeah, shame on me!

I must be honest with you, when I first saw this request in my database, the first thought I had was: It must have something to do with football! The word “Eurovision” led me to “Euro Champion League” or something relevant to that.

I was so wrong! I began to appreciate the idea of collecting requests from readers because I am always being introduced to new songs that I can share with others. Let’s take a look at this youtube video and I’m sure you will get addicted to it. (Ah Doe played this video at least 5 times in a row after watching it, can you believe that?)

Fairytale sounds like a typical old folksong with simple lyrics but I think I am also cursed after listening to it. As a result of this spell, I can’t resist myself from generating its piano sheet.

I hope you also noticed the dancers who are doing a lot of stunts and acrobats when Alexander is singing. I find them very entertaining…Hahaha
