My iPod Top Ten.

Here they are. The top ten most played songs on my iPod... I just noticed when I'm compiling this list that most of my top played songs has some sort of dark or sad mood surrounding it...


1. 達爾文 - 蔡健雅 (Mandarin - Singapore / Taiwan)
From 2007 Album - Goodbye & Hello

A Comparison between Darwin's Evolution Theory and Love, the strong survives, the weak are eliminated.




2. 木紋 - 何韻詩 (Cantonese - HK)
From 2007 Album - What Really Matters

Memories are like wood grain, they cannot be erased and will be a part of us forever.



3. 青春 - at17 (Cantonese - HK)
From 2005 Album - 變變變

Discussion of youth and the fear, joy, excitement, pain of love and sex.



4. Delicate - Damien Rice (English - Ireland)
From 2003 Album - O

A song of ultimate pain and suffering... where I find comfort during dark times.



5. Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley (English - U.S.)
From 1994 Album - Grace

A serene and dark version of an all-time Canadian classics.



6. Sit In The Sun - Keren Ann (English - France)
From 2003 Album - Not Going Anywhere

One of the best laidback indie pop songs ever.



7. Life In A Glass House - Radiohead (English - U.K.)

Nice blend of NOLA jazz and U.K. alt-rock... dark and creepy.



8. 紙飛機 - 林憶蓮 (Mandarin - HK / Taiwan)

Sweet memories of childhood, acoustic guitar, and the most beautiful voice on earth.


9. 散 - 莫文蔚 (Mandarin - HK / Taiwan)
From 2007 Album - L!VE IS... KAREN MOK

This song belongs to a jazz bar at night, when everyone is drunk on red wine, about to exit.



10. Girls - Death In Vegas (Ambiant - U.K / U.S.)

Signature track of my favorite movie, electronic arrangement and warm vocal harmonies portrays the vibrant nightlife of Tokyo.
