978. The Moon Represents My Heart - 月亮代表我的心 (Traditional Chinese)

[pwnkiller16]

nice classical!! mind i ask of what make? looks like either a chord or a takamine

[juicetank51]

Much respect to you sir! I believe this song would be very difficult to grasp for a foreigner, but you've grasped it almost perfectly! I'm touched.

[raymondcrooke]

@juicetank51 Thanks. I had to learn this to sing in China with the Hong Kong Welsh Male Voice Choir. I'm glad the pronunciation isn't too outrageous.

[joeyrenaissance]

Mr. Crooke, thank you for this lovely rendition of this sweet romantic song. I send it to my boyfriend who lives in a different part of the US, does not know anything about chinese songs and who likes to play the guitar.

[raymondcrooke]

@sm22281 I hope he likes it.

Good work! I thought you are in HK. But now you are only one state away.  Are you singing in a choir?

[raymondcrooke]

Yes. Now that I'm back in Australia, I've joined the Melbourne Welsh Choir.

[BluePianist14]

Mr. Raymond, thank you for upload this beautiful song with your sweet and wonderful voice. With all my respect to you, I love the chinese music and I love how you sing this beautiful song. I shed many tears tonight because you touched my heart with this beautiful song and the sweetness of your voice. Be blessed you and your family. Please Mr. Raymond, give me the honor to be your friend here on YouTube. Happy New Year 2010. Love and kisses, ♥ Alice ♥ :)

Thank you for favouriting this song and subscribing.

[musicfamily]

This is better than me! Too bad we did not get to meet before you left. Hope you'll be back for next year's Folk Festival at Stanley.

[p4lad1n2000]

although your pronounciation is not perfect, it is already considered good in mandarin. And no, I dont think other would criticize about you are not teresa. They would likely criticize more on the poor lightning.

PS: there are more legendary song like 月亮代表我的心 such as ming tian hui geng hao (明天会更好）, or mei tian ai ni duo yi xie (每天爱你多一些）

[raymondcrooke]

Yes, the lighting is a problem on a dull day in Melbourne. Thanks for your comments.

[dubla345]

[raymondcrooke]

I am back in Australia after living in Hong Kong for five years.

[sheunghyun]

[billngai]

Bravo. Sung with such tenderness and feeling.

Your soul is Chinese.

[raymondcrooke]

Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it.

[rockyriver]

thanks for introducing me to this very pretty song. and no need to apologize for not being teresa teng, although i do think all lucias should apologize for not being joan sutherland

[raymondcrooke]

When I sing Irish songs I sometimes get criticised for not being Luke Kelly, so best to be safe and apologise in advance!

[UncleVRoy]

[raymondcrooke]

Maybe a Chinese one!

[DaisyMoth]

Aw it's very pretty. And I think that's the first picture with non upside down Chinese on it. I'm glad I could finally watch your stuff and have this be the one.

[raymondcrooke]

I hope you'll have a chance to watch more of my stuff. : -)
