985. Tian Mi Mi (甜蜜蜜) (Traditional Taiwanese)

[dominant08]

Your videos have almost brought me into tears...

I mean raymondcrookes, I'm a lover of classical music,

who always, sensitive to the details of playing or singing (as what most classical music lovers do), but your singing is so incredibly touching,

I'm a Malaysian chinese, I've known many of those Indonesian or Chinese song snag by you since I was small, and this is the very first time, I feel like to sing along...congrats!!

[raymondcrooke]

@iwagi Thank you for listening.

[chuaminlee]

Good attempt, raymond. the accent's a bit off but i followed what you were singing :)

[raymondcrooke]

Thanks for watching. I can't expect to get the accent right, though I did listen carefully to Teresa Teng's rendition.

[hultonclint]

MORE CHINESE SONGS!! Please? ;~)

[raymondcrooke]

I think that's about my limit, Ranzo. I just learned this one when I was in Malaysia recently. I don't find the language that easy!

[hultonclint]

I can still dream :) ...it's a beautiful language

[lewdite]

Beautiful!

[raymondcrooke]

Thanks, Lew.

Greetings

Gentleman Raymond...

I thought that tune sounded familiar!!!  Then,I viewed your impeccably comprehensive sidenotes and my assertion had been verified and validated. With a tune so haunting and touching,how can one not resist putting it through the folk process by modifying the words for a particular region of singers and listeners? As always,your no-nonsense approach was most welcomed and surely appreciated.

Pax,

Max

[raymondcrooke]

Thanks for your comments, Max.

As a matter of interest, there is also an English version of this song: /watch?v=w70tcwgCnpM

Quite nice, but I think it would be better without all the drums. I suppose they are meant to represent the beating heart.

[scifiwritir]

Beautifully done. I don't know the meaning but I feel the soul of the song. Very wistful, full of longing.

[raymondcrooke]

Thanks for watching.

[blinddrunkal]

Such a beautiful song, Raymond, and a lovely gentle rendition ***** All the best :o) Alan

[raymondcrooke]

Thanks, Alan. I learnt this one on my recent trip to Malaysia.
