On a karaoke disc, my friend and I have a track called 'The Rainy Season' or something like that, and a really beautiful girl with long hair swishes it around for the entire MV. It's one of our favourite tracks. I never saw the Legend of Star Apple. Would that MV be Xiao Xiao, do you think? |

Yes, that's it!!! It's one of my favourite karaoke songs. Didn't know it was the ending theme to LSA though. Thanx! |

That is a brilliant song. Or perhaps a good song, but the whole production is stunning. It is always understated, the instrumental backing never overwhelms the singer and I like the way the piano passage returns during the song. It is as important as the refrain; it brings the song back to that inner contemplative feeling and then moves again into the beautiful orchestral backing with strong drums bass work using brushes. It builds complexity and then returns to simplicity. Each 2 bar sequence is like an in breath then an out breath. Listen again and you will see what I mean. Then listen to the 16 bar cycle and you will find that is like an emotional breathing cycle. The simplicity of the melody line has the abilllity to get into your head and have you humming it for hours. Thanks for posting it DTLCT!! |

Callistamon, you described it all! That's what I'm talking about. It gets so addicting because of that. There is complexity among that simplicity and then back again. Talking about that, I listen to it so many times already yet still not sick of it at all. I really hand it over to the composer and also Achel for the ability to bring such emotion to the song. |

At first I thought the MV was slightly sleazy or risque, but having just looked at it again I agree with Callistamon that it is simple but hypnotic--maybe in part because there are no costume changes or big landscapes or anything to distract from the lyrics. Has Achel been in any dramas lately, does anyone know? |
