A new song from Eric Chou about chasing one’s dream. The first time I heard this song earlier this year, I thought it was OK, but the more I listen to it, the more I like it, now it has become one of my favourite songs of 2020.

SEA You Soon (Crossing the Ocean to See You) 飄洋過海來看你 – Fish Leong & Eve Ai 梁靜茹 & 艾怡良
This song popped up as a recommendation for me on YouTube a couple of days ago, a duet sang by Malaysia’s queen of love songs, Fish Leong (梁靜茹), and Taiwanese singer/songwriter Eve Ai (艾怡良). I thought the title sounded familiar, so I played it, and yes, I have heard the song years before and really like it, so it is a remake. Then the heartfelt music video made my eyes tear up…

Washing Machine 洗衣機 – Mayday 五月天
也許 我從來不是一個好孩子，
Maybe… I have never been a good son/daughter
也許 我管不住自己的叛逆，
Maybe… I cannot control my rebellious nature
也許 我從來沒有讓你滿意，
Maybe… I have never made you be proud of me
但，我還是想讓你知道……
But… I still want to let you know (I love you)…

Walking Slowly Forwards 慢慢走（網路劇《上癮》片尾曲） – Timmy Xu 許魏洲
This song is the ending credits song from the 2016 Chinese LGBT-themed web series, Addicted (上癮). I can’t remember how I came across this song in the first place last year, but after I first heard the song, I love it due to its very hummable melody, even though I have not heard or watched the web series. So with lockdown and so much time being trapped at home, I searched the series to watch recently. Then… I realized the wildly popular web series was banned by the Chinese authorities in China after 12 of the 15-episode series were broadcast. Worst still, the two lead actors were also banned by the authorities to appear together in front of the cameras! What, this is the 21st century, and things like this still happened, unbelievable!
