Yesterday, this song entered my head out of the blue and wouldn't leave. And no one knew how to actually sing it. So i hummed and hummed.
Including two versions, and since they are both the first track, we differentiate by live version and studio version. If you ever have the chance to come across these two albums, they are nice!
It's a very tai-ke song, earthy, rough and tough. The live version is performed by composer himself Wu-bai, fast and furious while the original studio version is a duet between Lim Giong (active as a recording artist and tai-pop star during the 90s, he now plays live and house) and director/film producer Hou Hsiao Hsien, a quieter and more intense piece. The song can be found in the Dust of Angels OST. Like some of the OST i own, i haven't had the opportunity to watch the movie. Taiwanese produced movies hardly make it to this part of Asia ;-P
So i'm glad Cape No.7 did.
I'm going offline for the day since i've done more blogging than i have done in three months.
Gonna take a nap now. And to everyone out there, look for your place of silence, too. For moi, it is in the cacophony of rock and traffic.
