I love 梁静茹. Not in the same way as my Hebe of course, but definitely somewhere near.
I'm sure you'll agree with me if you're the mando-pop person.
Despite her ridiculous English name and ordinary appearance(as compared to others in the business), 梁静茹 has sang herself into stardom and touched millions with her sincere deliveries of ballads, establishing her reputation as the 疗伤天后(loosely translated to Queen of Wound-healing). I've been listening to her albums since her break-out hit that asks people to pluck up their bloody courage, until today where she's asking you to continue plucking up your bloody courage and stop bloody crying.
Honestly I do not regard 勇气 and 分手快乐 as her best songs; not because I don't like the songs, but simply because she's done far better ones than the two.
My top 3 favourite songs from her are as follows; Fly Away, 可惜不是你, 会呼吸的痛. If I were to pick one, I would go with 可惜不是你. What I like about it is not just because the lyrics hits home, but also how 静茹 starts the song in a almost indifferent voice, yet hiding a wave of emotions that releases itself slowly in the second part.
Maybe I might be thinking too much into the song, but every time I hear the song, no matter how many times or how frequent, I feel the same. If I'm not wrong, 杨宗纬 sang the song before, but he did not touch me(emotionally lah, dirty-minded people) the way 静茹 did.
For her new album, I like 用力抱着, and for 爱情之所以爱情 she does a style that is slightly different than her usual and is refreshingly nice. Do listen for them.
Anyway I suddenly decided to blog about her not because anything happened to her(we should make it a point to talk about people/artises who touched us one way or another when they're still alive), but because I heard 可惜不是你 on shuffle and decided that it will be a sin for me to not share it and ask you to listen carefully.
Eeee boring post. Next time, I will blog a bitching post on Cyndi Wang if I ever hear her song (accidentally) on radio again to entertain y'all ok.
