Crying

水是所有生命生存的重要資源,也是生物重要的基本組成元素。

水是中國古代五行之一,西方古代的四元素也有水。

享有「蘇民峰首徒」之稱的堪輿學家陳子才先生是我的好朋友,他說我命中帶水,有外剛內柔的雙重性格,對事物敏感而感性,是愛哭的女孩,但適應力強,能隨機應變,更有不屈不撓的意志,而且遇強愈強。

「水能沖蝕任何障礙,包括石頭,就算被困住亦能找到出口...」

他說得很對!我的感情是內歛的,朋友都說聽我的歌和看我的文字都是含蓄的,像別人的故事,但有弦外之音。重新編唱《Crying》這首Roy Orbison的經典名曲,也是較內歛含蓄演繹的新嘗試,有著另一種不同的感受:

I was alright for a while, I could smile for a while
But I saw you last night, you held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say hello
Are you wished me well, you couldn't tell

That I'd been crying over you, crying over you
Then you said so long, left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying, crying, crying
It's hard to understand, but the touch of your hand
Can start me crying

I thought that I was over you, but it's true, so true
I love you even more than I did before, but darling what can I do
For you don't love me, and I'll always be

Crying over you, crying over you
Yes, now you're gone and from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying, crying, crying
Yeah crying, crying, over you...

Music, Movie, Musicals and Me

Music and theatre have had a close relationship. Theatre can associate with movie or musical theatre (musicals) and I love both of them. I sing theme songs in some Asian movies, such as“When I Dream” (theme from “Dragon Squad”). It easily recalls people not only from scenes of the movie, but also from memory. I love theme music from movies as well as songs from Musicals, especially Broadway. I remember I have fallen in love with Broadway since I was 12. Musical films characteristically contain elements reminiscent of theatre; performers often sing and dance as if there is a live audience watching. Some musical films were adapted for the stage after their great success, such as “The Wizard of Oz” and“Fame”, while successful musicals also definitely received movie adaptations, i.e. stage-to-film adaptations, such as“Jesus Christ Superstar” and “Evita”. We can share our moments after all these years by passing through “Over the Rainbow”, “Out Here On My Own”, “I Don’t Know How To Love Him”, “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina”, “You Must Love Me” ……

“Moon River” (theme from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”) has to be selected in my new album "Theatre" although it has been covered by hundreds of artists all over the world. I sing it each time, it seems like a live performance accompanied by the pianist just in front of the audience.

“The Way We Were” (theme from “The Way We Were”) must be selected because it was the song of one of my favorite singers that influences me most, Barbra Streisand, and I won the singing contest with it!

“For All We Know” (theme from “Lovers and OtherStrangers”) was selected, of course, in tribute to my forever idol, the Carpenters.

WORDS from Astor :
