This is by far my favorite song that I’ve done with Dominique (and we’ve
probably done like 14 songs together already). I remember the day we
wrote this, I just kept listening to it over and over again. I couldn’t
stop. You know you’ve written a good song when you can’t stop listening
to it. And unfortunately there’s a really sad story to go along with it.
One of Dom’s best friends in the States passed away suddenly. She came
over, told me what happened, was pretty much in tears the whole time..
She said she really wanted to something for her. So we just started
writing. The video is pretty much her story of her and her friend.
Beautiful yet hella sad. I cried the first time I watched it. I don’t
usually cry, but I think this video hit too close to home.
Alright, my wife is taking a nap, so I’m not if I got the Chinese
right. I also don’t know the title of the album. I’m totally faking this
one. But it’s too awesome not to post right away.. Basically I just
produced this one. And it was the easiest production of mt life. When I
was working with Allen Wes on 生存權 (編/製) ‖艾玮伦‖【首張創作單曲】‖2010.02 , he
ended up giving me about 100 mp3’s of the best rock arrangements I’ve
ever heard. Allen Wes can arrange these Limp Bizkit style songs in a
day, no problem. It’s his gift, and he’s amazing at it. So one day Alan Kuo came over. We weren’t even thinking about recording
anything. We were just chilling. We started listening to Allen Wes’s
demos, and thought, fuck it.. Let’s just record over one of his mp3s. So
I set up my mic, and let Alan Kuo do his thing. About 30 minutes later,
he was done with rapping and writing the chorus. So then it was my turn
to add all my back up vocals, and little more guitars here and there,
basically just focus on some of the details. Then I asked my wife to
sing some backups.. I think it’s so funny that the back up vocals in the
chorus are mostly my wife 庭竹. If you’ve ever heard her music, you’ll
realize it’s about 100% different from Alan Kuo’s style. So after about 4
hours, the song was totally done. I love both Alan and Allen, and am so
proud to have been part of this song. I’m pretty sure in the future
that everyone is gonna want an Allen Wes rock arrangement. If I ever put
out an album, I know I would..
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rf0SnzCj9uY I'm super proud of this one!! It looks amazing!! And this is one of the few songs I've done, that was solely done through the internet. I didn't meet Jun, Steve, or Ray once when we we're doing this one. We just kept recording tracks, uploading, downloading, and internet jamming.. So 2010...
For those who didn't get the facebook news, my wife has been pregnant for 7 months with our future daughter!!! Everything is going perfectly, and we couldn't be happier.. We wrote a song for her, and I spent forever trying to sing it in chinese.. I wrote the music, my wife TingChu wrote the lyrics.. Just wanted to share it with you all!!
