Fairytale Of New York - The Pogues It was christmas eve babe In the drunk tank An old man said to me, wont see another one And then he sang a song The rare old mountain dew I turned my face away And dreamed about you Got on a lucky one Came in eighteen to one Ive got a feeling This years for me and you So happy christmas I love you baby I can see a better time When all our dreams come true Theyve got cars big as bars Theyve got rivers of gold But the wind goes right through you Its no place for the old When you first took my hand On a cold christmas eve You promised me Broadway was waiting for me You were handsome You were pretty Queen of new york city When the band finished playing They howled out for more Sinatra was swinging, All the drunks they were singing We kissed on a corner Then danced through the night The boys of the nypd choir Were singing galway bay And the bells were ringing out For christmas day Youre a bum Youre a punk Youre an old slut on junk Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed You scumbag, you maggot You cheap lousy ****** Happy christmas your **** I pray God its our last I could have been someone Well so could anyone You took my dreams from me When I first found you I kept them with me babe I put them with my own Cant make it all alone Ive built my dreams around you Video Clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltiY-BqvOIU
Why is Chinese pop music so terrible? I want to enjoy the uniqueness China can bring, but most unique things here seem to have a hard time getting traction.
I totally agree. l was raised on Canto-pop, and I lived in China as a rock musician. I have to admit Chinese pop music is generally really really terrible.From a musical standpoint Chinese pop music is extremely simple (see Elliott Chen's answer to Chinese Music: How does modern Chinese pop music differ from American music in style, instruments, and chords/theory). The chords are the most basic I IV V VI combinations put together in uninspired ways. It focuses on clear vocal melodies, light instrumentation to not get in the way of the vocals, and insipid themes.Chinese pop music isn't built to challenge or break new ground. Chinese pop music largely borrowed from Japan prior to the 90s, rerecording many Japanese hits. More recently Chinese music has taken some R&B elements from the Korean wave of hip hop style. Yet stylistically Chinese listeners are simply not sophisticated or as knowledgeable about music as their foreign counterparts. More so than anywhere else I've been, Chinese countries have a low tolerance for "weirdness" in music. They like the music soft, the tempos moderate, the vocals simple. This lack of innovation is pretty staggering. The Taiwanese singer Jay Chou incorporated some bad rap and traditional Chinese instrumentation and created a bit of a ruckus for being a "musical genius" Similarly Faye Wong, the goddess of Chinese pop, basically ripped off the Cocteau Twins and Cranberries, and inspired an army of sensitive Chinese females for being so cutting edge. Faye Wong *inspiring* version of the Cranberries' DreamsGenerally the Chinese seek classical forms and are slow to accept newer challenging elements. There's a reason why Chinese paintings basically looked like this for thousands of years:The Cultural Revolution didn't help things. But if we look to Taiwan and Hong Kong, their pop music isn't much better. I don't have any logical explanation why Chinese music tends to be so bad as a whole. But my honest opinion is that Chinese people just tend to have tacky taste in the arts and design. So the music reflects that. Japanese people have refined tastes, so their music reflects that. I'm Chinese and I really wish we wrote better songs.And if you disagree with my opinion then please go listen to some bad Chinese pop. La la la
How can I incorporate music into a story that I'm writing?
I'm sort of trying to make their speech song like. Like in a story, there are certain rules to follow when you're writing the dialogue. An example being how you always start a sentence with quotation marks and you separate the description of the story from things the characters say. For example, The color of the walls inside the house was a yellow so bright, it would compete with the sun. It wasn't the prettiest of colors but I couldn't lie to the designer. "I love this shade of yellow on the walls." I want to write the story the same as any other story but in some parts, instead of the characters talking to each other, I want it to be them singing to each other. I'm just not sure how to convey that they are singing instead of talking and if I need to write the singing parts of the book the same way as the other dialogue. I hope this is better but I suck at getting my point across ha-ha.
DO you have to fight to listen to music?
Just keep fighting the good fight. Eventually, you will wear them down and they'll probably want to start marching to the Black Parade. I usually am the one that gets stuck driving so I run a dictatorship when it comes to the music. It works out extremely well.
