Would you like to share some songs you love with other posters?
Let me start with mine:
1. "Smiling Face" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2c3fqClRYc ) (Composer: Li Tai Xiang): Excerpt Lyrics: "Drizzling faint sorrow, wisps of memory, like dreams, like fantasies, like realities"
2. "Olive Tree" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrjQmZ8t8nQ&feature=fvwrel )(Composer: Li Tai Xiang): Excerpt Lyrics: "Don't ask me where I'm from. My hometown is far away. Why do I wander in a distant land? For the olive tree of my dream." Note the Dorian mode (also known as Russian minor, a diatonic scale corresponding to the white keys of the piano from "D" to "D") used by the composer to create a "far-away" feel. Dorian = Olive???--an interesting connotation anyway.
3. "Walking in the rain" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUjPktylfio&feature=related )(Composer: Li Tai Xiang).
4. "Mistake" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuEQu9QUe4o, Sorry for the poor sound quality that skips notes in many places, but that's the only link I can find)(Composer: Li Tai Xiang): Excerpt Lyrics: "The clip-clop of my horse's hooves is a beautiful mistake. I'm not a homecomer, but a transient."
