搞音乐的人真是有创艺...

看过有人说"Happy 猪 Year", "猪你新年快乐", ect, 可是真正让我领教到 "什么是创艺?" 的, 是把猪年称为"pork year"!
你们应该知道是从哪里看到的吧... Please MOE, lias with FM, let FM show your primary kids what "Creative Writing" means!

無聊中的一段靈感

與another random fellow lyricist談話中的Version 1
三只小豬 三只小豬
跑得快 跑得快
狼快追上來了 狼快追上來了
躲起來 躲起來

為了應節而再想了Version 2
三只小豬 三只小豬
來賀年 來賀年
帶來吉祥如意 帶來吉祥如意
真開心 真開心


另外兩隻因為害臊而躲起來了...

新年快乐!

祝﹐
小寒身體健康﹐小小寒不要壞蛋﹐乖乖聽媽媽的話﹐寒先生馬到成功﹐
小寒詞場的各位來年行大運﹐該忘的就放下﹐讓小豬豬帶來好運﹐
那些該犯完太歲的就祝愿豬年是個大好年﹐
那些去年走衰運的今年旺旺旺﹐
那些已經很旺的就繼續旺。。

新年快樂! 萬事如意! 心想事成! 一帆風順! etc etc...

當然﹐祝FM音樂學校﹐FM的上上下下左左右右前前後後各位。。。

蝴蝶夢

歌名: 蝴蝶夢
作詞: 小詞鐵s

V1 花瓣上跳舞的蝴蝶 最怕花兒全凋謝
V1 小心翼翼的飛 不願把幸福踩碎

V2 儘管警覺 依舊沉浸播花粉的喜悅
V2 展開雙翼的跳躍 散播我幸福的花蕊

PC 破繭而出的風險 只為了要飛的更遠
PC 飛得很遠 只為將愛播到全世界

C1 你是蔷薇我是蝶 奈何配不成一双一对
C1 随着花蕾的凋谢 诉尽千年连的纠结
C1 重生不奢望再遇見誰 願作愛情中的精衛
C1 随着反复的长夜 逼进寒冷的永眠

V3 背影在回忆里重叠 最恨寂寞的宣泄
V3 小小幸福稀釋追悔 短短駐留將愛連接

V4 儘管只是停歇 瞬間也能是永遠
V4 讓你溫暖的雙臂 不能有絲毫浪費

The lyricist-teacher

just happened to be talking to some 'random fellow lyricist' this morning and mumbled this:

"a lyricist is acherli some kind of a teacher
except u dun teach a class
u teach anyone who listens to a song"

so it is up to the lyricist to go out and have a wealth of experience, process in the brain, then share it with the world...your song may touch and inspire souls whose existence you do not even know of.

suddenly what xiaohan laoshi said in class makes sense, "lyricists have a moral responsibility."

New Arrivals

听说最近有个环球词曲创作比赛，大家可以试一试。http://www.umusic.com.tw/2007/1.htm
可能有谁被发现也说不定。但好像是要有曲才能参加，不可以单有词。FM学生应该是可以参加吧。
虽然很想参加， 但我最近为小生意的东西再忙，疲于奔命，尤其是新年期间。可能要quit我现在的工作了， 搞好生意和做freelance writing养活自己。有谁有part time lobang? hee..新的一批货已经在Raffles City Basement, Anthropology store,售卖。他们看到了设计和质地都很满意，现在很有可能在Holland V也要卖我进口的brand.


小寒老师，我也听了你的建议，改造了一些tshirt的剪裁，在上面加了mandarin buttons,lace, sequins. 我费了挺多心思的，去找纽扣，裁缝师。有些纽扣还是在最近去香港的时候找的，在这都找不到。
做出来，不知道你觉得还可以吗？有一个长袖（看图片）的还是特地为你而作的，不知道你喜欢吗？
很多人都feedback很特别，Anthropology也在卖我改造后的设计。 可以去我的fuchsialane.blogspot 看一看。







Yes it's me la.. cant afford to pay model now mah.. :P

無聲對白

隨著10點新聞而來的靈感...

無聲對白

改編自蔡依林 [倒帶]

作詞：方文山　作曲：周杰倫　編曲：鍾佐泓
改編詞：白風

黃昏來得太快 我們接受不來 天的安排排不到的未來
劃不出的將來 要由誰來連載 你的對白沒有人能替代

明天帶來的期待 你卻只帶來傷害
把夢想一夜摔壞 撒滿一地夢的殘骸
我還在等你回來 你一聲都沒交代
劇情結束得太快 還沒認識就要分開

Chorus:
悄悄放開 願你明白 似乎是你無聲對白
劇本上沒有記載 哭過後就該明白
悄悄放開 不要感慨 你這無聲詞我明白
淚水快要颩出來 還要我微笑 看著你離開

彩虹由誰上彩 誰能預測將來 會是七彩還是會被遮蓋
期待還在等待 接下來的對白 你卻無聲靜靜把我排外

從你身上我明白 應該把握的現在
我會刻印在腦袋 把那未來當作現在
可是累積的期待 變成一片片殘骸
和夢想摔在一塊 這種結局太過悲哀

The Importance of Being ..a Lyricist

我一直都強調歌詞的重要性。
終於有一整部電影贊成了我的說法：
Drew Barrymore 和Hugh Grant的新戲：Ｍusic and Lyrics當中就有一對白：

"A melody is like.. Sex
But then as you get to know the person, that's the lyrics."

Happy Birthday My Friend

我這個人常常忘了跟好朋友說生日快樂。
不是因為我忘了日期，而是因為我忘了今天幾號。
今天是一位圈內好友的生日。我沒有忘記，只是我現在連她在世界的哪個角落表演都不知道。生日祝福不知道她收得到嗎？

人是很奇怪的東西。３６５天為什麼和她一起經歷過的日子的回憶與感觸，往往在她生日時才會湧現？

最近有一部片子叫生日快樂，主題曲由林夕填詞。當中就有這麼幾句
“請你　原諒我　不多寫一個字　像　普通人模糊”

我在我虛擬生日卡上寫的也只是“生日快樂”四個字。
但那是因為我和這位朋友經歷了那麼多，其他的字都早已寫進默契裡了。

新发现

刚才,百般无聊,就在自己房里到处摸摸看看,结果有了一个新发现.
原来,小寒老师你的名字是根据中国农历的二十四节气来去的......

Contrast

"忘了誰說過 最大的不幸
就是以前曾經 幸福得要命"
--- 姚若龍 <<白天的星星>>

很有意思的歌詞,出自小寒的偶像之筆... 哈哈... 嗯這算是秘密嗎?如果是,對不起咯~

2007對我來說真的是有點不順利.話不想說得太絕,所以我用'有點',因為我無法預料接下來還會出甚麼狀況.
前些日子是心病,昨天則是身體支撐不住而病倒了.. 還以為只是因為壓力才會有嘔吐現象 [一直以來,我都會因為想太多不能入眠而有嘔吐現象... 當然是偶爾不是常有啦]... 到醫生問診,還告訴醫生自己沒有發燒,後來經由醫生量體溫才發現自己真的發燒.我還問他,"issit got fever meh".他二話不說又提起體溫計,在我另一只耳朵再量一次,然後給我看.只差沒有說出口"see yourself lah"

回到家天旋地轉...今天則請了病假...想了很多... 也許真的是與去年12月反差太大,所以無法接受突然的'不幸'.還來不及迎接這樣的不幸,還留戀曾經的'幸福'.

健雅小姐

今晚風很大，覺得很冷。可能也是因為在發燒的關係吧。

突然有一股衝動，想聽自己寫的《夜盲症》，就拿起Tanya的T-time來聽。

感覺簡直是．．．感動．．．

然後突然覺得，我填詞這麼多年，最好的歌詞好像都給了蔡小姐。

來臭美一下，回顧我為她，還有和她寫過的歌：
１）ＷHY（黎沸揮的曲）
２）無底洞（Eric的曲）
３）夜盲症（Tanya的曲）
４）失樂園（Tanya的曲）
５）雙棲動物（Eric的曲）
６）假想敵（Eric的曲）
７）一分鐘追悔（Tanya的曲）
８）二手煙（Tanya的曲）
９）障眼法（Tanya的曲）
１０）過動兒（Tanya的曲）
１１）第六感（燕姿唱）
１２）保管（阿桑唱）
１３）歸屬感（Gigi唱）
１４）回不來（Gigi唱）
１５）一對一（Fish唱）
１６）剪刀石頭布（郭美美唱）

每一首成品感覺都是如此地搭，如此地舒服。

她現在住在台北，我們見面的機會少了。但我和她之間就算不見面，都始終有一份不言而喻的默契。

和她一起做音樂讓我可以拋開一切政治性也好、名氣性也好的元素，好好地、單純地、寫好歌詞。

還真是有點想這位音樂伙伴、好姐妹。

不知名的老伯伯

昨天在下課的時後，我其中一個學生告訴我，Bright Chambers樓下的保安老伯伯在前天去世了。据說他是因心臟病而入院治療，但入院後就一直沒有醒過來．．

我知道他從前是從事Bouncer的工作的。我也知道常常又人以為他是馬來人，也知道他的左手因受傷而少了兩根手指。但我從來都不知道老伯伯叫什麼名字。

和他有一種很奇怪的默契，因為幾個月前，他總搞不清楚我是老師還是學生。經過無數次調皮的鬥嘴，他終於知道我是“教書的”。後來每當我到Bright Chambers的時候，我只要叫一聲"UNCLE" 他不用抬頭就說“喔教書的”，知道是我。

突然覺得很難過，因為每個星期六兩點鐘一定會先跟他聊幾句，才會開始我的課。而下個星期，就再也不會見到他了．．

UNCLE，我這個“教書的”會想你的。

Mai Ca Song

Heh Heh... here's the mai ca song written in 2003 so I 'reserved' the title. Actually contents really quite crappy, not much ya yun and yes... I used to type my works in simplified chinese. It was meant to be rap song which is kinda silly as well cos I don't think I write that genre well. But reading the lyrics is quite funny.. especially 我爽... a characteristic which carries on till now?! =P

Anyway... for those who know I have been a bit down and maybe I should just encourage myself with my own song. No matter how these first 20 days of 2007 have been for us, may it be a good year. And only we can make it so. Cheers all.

《麦吵》
词/曲: 何洁莹 ©

好无聊 快疯掉
这样的游戏太没趣
快认不清自己
原来 早该甩掉
一个人不单调
想你的心情才无味
任性做回自己
高傲 我爽

Rap:
麦吵 听我讲
是时候展现女人本色
个人风格
你凭什么干涉
这样下去才叫'恶'
麦吵 听我讲
不论你什么脸色废舌
不再猜测
我有权力选择
选择自己的快乐

该忘了 全抛掉
这样的生活太悲凄
根本是种压力
原来 不用客气
是炫耀是开窍
这样的压抑太无理
自由宣泄情绪
高傲 你管

Hope 2007 will be a big bang!

Hey everyone, this is the first time I am writing in this blog after it has started for 2 mths i think. Feeling terribly guilty and apologetic. It is not because I have forgotten your or my interest for writing lyrics but I was consumed or drowned by the things I have to settle every day ever since I came back from Shanghai. so seems like I m not alone after reading Xiaohan's recent entry.

As ur may know, I m selling imported stuff mainly the limited edition designer tees. I have not rested trying to liase with Shanghai, arranging for delivery(cos they dont do delivery), then getting and running the pushcart in Dec. And now I am importing new stock for cny and Vday. Recently, I just managed to convince a shop to sell my tees on consignment as selling thru frens is really too slow. The shop Joey & Jan is located in Marina Square(#03-221) and the (#03-1092, 1094)shops above the New market beside Chinatown OG. Currently selling only at Chinatown, but will sell also in Marina when new stock arrive end of this month. So do drop by if your free la. Just to look see lor and give me feedback..hee.. But there is definitely more ex as their commission is exorbitant..

I ordered 200 pieces for the new arrival and it is really a risk for me even though I believe in their appeal. Sometimes I wish I can ask someone advice on how to run a business. Really not easy dealing with these shrewd businessmen esp the Shanghai people. sigh..many times have to eat humble pie and "beg" them since I m a nobody now with no backing. Most of the time, they will give me 1001 limitations + conditions. really stressed when negotiating with these big guys sometimes. But I tell myself I have to take every chance to learn and gain experience and live life to the fullest. So on top of that, m also working full time and recently writingfor mags and some freelance assignments. So I can get more capital! Sleeping like 4-5hrs a day. Even my bf is complaining.

So so I know I still owe Xiaohan's laoshi lyrics to the song which she sent on xmas. Ah.. Xiaohan, pls dont be disappointed. I will write after this month when I get a breather. I have not "disconnect" from mandopop cos I still buy chinese cds to listen and look out for xh's lyrics and got many lyrics ideas in my head just no time to put it down. Sorry if this sounds like some ranting, but reading and writing this blog makes me feel at home. And i hope 2007 will be a big bang for everyone! Btw, thanks to all those who bought from me and help me in 1 way or other. Thanks Xiaohan for graciously allowing me "free advertising" by linking my blogshop to here and appreciate everyone's support :) ktv soon again ok?

燦爛

原創歌曲: Super star
曲 : Jade & Geoman ( Sweetbox )
唱: S.H.E
改編詞 : 燕

我 一直走 找尋着你的軌道
就希望有道光 能指引我的方向

瘋狂的信仰 只在我心中成長
溫度不斷飆上 超越額頭的燙

chorus:
你就是 我世界 唯不可缺的靈魂
照耀着我 像星光般燦爛

我就在 這宇宙 卻只逗留了一趟
願這一刻 比煙火更燦爛

夢 在旋轉 無時刻在心上
像下了咒魔法 誰也無法去抵擋

走 帶我走 就背着心的翅膀
暫時忘了憂傷 輕盈的在飛翔

Bridge:
天的衣裳 會晴會暗會遮住前方
心中的光 會牽引我

2007 So far..

Hi All,
It's been a while since I wrote..
So what have I been doing? I have been trying to experience 2007.
What do I mean?
For people who knows me, knows that I lead a bloody hectic lifestyle, struggling to be a research scientist, a lyricist, a teacher, a mother, a wife, a housewife.. and to be sane.. everyday..
End of December last year, I went into a depressed mood, as I was terribly overworked, and underpaid (not in the monetary sense). 2006 was a very scary year for me, as it was the year that I finally gave up being a fulltime mum to my daughter Ashley, and went back to work. It was the year that Ashley cried the most as she was suddenly remover from my care to be looked after by strangers in te childcare centre.. 2006 was the year that I do not get to see my own husband everyday, as he starts working nights and I work in the day, that I miss him terribly.. 2006 was the year that we started FM Pop Music School, 2006 was the year that we did many school seminars to talk about mandarin pop culture.. 2006 was when I started teaching lyrics writing...2006 was when I was given 6 lyrics to write within a short span of 2 weeks and only one of sold...
2006... was bloody tiring for me..
So, I thought.. 2007 would be better, I hope.. as I stood and stared through my kitchen window, at the sky full of fireworks.

Today is the 10th Jan 2007. After having experienced 10 days of 2007, what does it taste like?
The same! I am still that crazy research scientist who is struggling to be a mum, a wife, a teacher etc etc..And on top of that, I am trying to be an author too! Yes, I am currently at Chapter 2 of my own book! (Details coming up soon.. )And since I only have 24 hours.. I am going to cut down the amount of time spent on lyrics writing and concentrate on my book, after office and baby-hours..Lyrics writing has taken up a huge part of my life. It not only makes me, it also breaks me. Everytime I write a piece of sad lyrics, I get consumed by the sadness and can't snap out of it for the longest time.. Everytime my lyrics get rejected because of ridiculous poltical reasons, I feel so unwanted and small.. Everytime I run out of clever ideas, I constipate.. Everytime I would be demanding myself to come up with a clever or touching line, for if I don't, I look down upon myself..
Life as a lyricist, who is also a bloody greedy perfectionist, is unhealthy. I have been unhealthy, both physically and mentally. I don't appreciate good food, and I don't appreciate good life. It's 2007, so what I am going to do is, cut down on my lyrics writing, and try to regain my physical and mental health. Know how I try to regain my physical health? I am starting to cook dinner! Lots of greens and fish and proteins. Edible, though far from tasty..But it is a Start!
As for mental health, I am actively trying to train students into lyricist, who can hopefully propagate good writing techniques.. With less emotional load, hopefully I will be a happier person..

So my resolution for the rest of the 355 days of 2007 will be.. Be healthy, be happy. What is yours?

你甜甜的微笑讓我 死無遺憾 握......

Indie Jap

K-Ryu
My friend intro me to this indie Jap composer... I find the melody has very strong hua mian gan... Kinda heavy and sorrowful for some... =) But heh man let your emotions and imagination flow~

Anyway how's everyone doing recently? Any new works to share? Been having some weird ideas on and off, but no motivation to pen down cos no good melody.. and no good way of weaving them together... too haphazard and all over... so I guess I will just continue to write down on my very messy piece of foolscap. =) Till then....
