One of the first things Xie Miao and I discovered that we had in common was our love of this band: 旅行团 (Luxing Tuan, Life Journey). I only have about four different Chinese artists on my itunes but I was listening to them one day and she goes: "Oh! You like Life Journey! They're one of my favorite bands!"
Apparently, she saw them live last year at a festival. I wish I could see them too!
I also really like this artist, 田原 (Tian Yuan), and song 放聲再見 (Fang Sheng Zai Jian):
I was also going to post an awesome video of Marshmallow and his roommate, Zhang, playing "Creep" by Radiohead on the guitar, with Sean singing and Joe on drums. They were playing a few songs Thursday night, among which was "Wish You Were Here" (unfortunately, not yet captured in video). However, the damn video wouldn't load. I had it loading up to Youtube for nearly seven hours on Saturday, and it failed. Argh. Maybe I can post it later, when I get a good internet connection.
Beautiful music, Margaux, thanks for sharing it. Would love to hear what your fellow students are playing too; hope that upload succeeds quickly next time!

I tried to find some translations, but didn't get far. Zai Jian seems to be good-bye, and Fang Sheng seems to be a fairly common male name, and a name for a kung fu move. Seems strange though that the singer's name (Tian Yuan) doesn't give any hits, even with a video on YouTube. Beautiful song!
ReplyDeleteHi Margaux,
ReplyDeleteI very much enjoyed listening to this music this morning. Thanks for sharing it! With all of the drama happening in the world today, it's so nice to connect to good music, and with loved ones. I think of you often and can't wait until we can see each other again! Much love, Kathleen
