"往上冲" - Original Cantonese Punk Rock Song

My original composition written for my graduation project at Singapore's School of Music and the Arts (SOMA), done on top of a photo montage of my Tokyo backpacking trip in February 2008.

I'm not a cantonese speaker nor do i understand cantonese, but when i wrote the melody for the song i just had a hunch that the song would be best when sung in cantonese. The original lyrics i wrote were in mandarin, after which i sent the demo off to Leopard Lim who did a fantastic job with the cantonese lyrics.

Recordings were done at the SOMA music studio. The 3/4 of the musicians in the song have never done a full studio recording, so please be lenient on the musicianship.

Melody written by: Ricky Chua
Lyrics written by: Leopard Lim with Cyrus Yau & Lek Jun Yan

Vocals: Leopard Lim
Guitar: YJ Tan
Bass: Rafiq
Drums: Ricky Chua

Montage starring: Darren Tan, Sean Lennon & Ricky Chua

Thanks for watching. Feel free to give productive comments for my improvement, particularly in melody writing, band arrangement and song arrangement.
