Mando Melody — Day 2

Today's Song：巴黎德州 by The Chairs Pinyin： Bālí Dézhōu / Yǐzi Yuètuán Translation：Paris, Texas

Thoughts: this song is sooo.. sooo soft to me. it's one of my faves by The Chairs. i quite like their whole album actually! i know the lyrics and meaning are vastly different that what i had solidified in my head, but the line Still there’s no place for a man like me" i hold so dear to my heart. it's lovely, it feels like walking down the shore of a beach with a loved one while you take pictures of them smiling. do you get it..

My Favorite Part:

我和你 在清晨的夢裡 （美好的你 和你的傻瓜相機） 南方空氣 海邊的一趟旅行 八釐米裡 你我依舊年輕 （年輕的心 和說不完的話題） 但記憶裡 全都不再清晰 我深愛追逐你的那個自己 But there’s no place for a man like me.

Mando Melody — Day 1

I want to post Chinese songs I like once a day (when I remember). Might be english songs from Chinese artists. Might be Cantonese. Might be Taiwanese artists too. I dunno, I'm just gonna be posting, will be using #mandomelody, feel free to filter.

Today's Song：讓一讓 by GONG and Jony J Pinyin： Ràng Yī Ràng

Thoughts:

This is actually the song that got me super into Chinese music! I was listening to my friend's Lin Lie playlist (a Chinese character I love sm!). And when i was on the train with my friend just listening to music, suddenly this song was playing.. and I actually processed it. Stopped being something in the background, and I deadass paused talking to my friend just to listen to the whole thing. Let it be known, I was HOOKED.

My Favorite Part:

全都在這混沌地方 困在大千世界盲人摸象 有人自甘喝著淤泥湯 有人注定位歸九重天上 你想我陪你待在鯉魚塘 但我還有我真正該去的地方 你說我早晚變得就像你一樣 抱歉這是我永遠不會上的當

Basically, the first verse. I rlly like the meaning of the song too.
