Not to say that I found everything I'm looking for but I'll take what little triumphs come my way...
So was having a late instant noodle dinner out front with dad and TV and this ad came on. That ad had been haunting me for years coz the English song that it used was rather nice and breezy, if a song could be considered breezy. Just a hint of melancholy and is well... haunting! And for the life of me, I could not find it.
When I first heard it years ago (at least 2 years ago coz I remember being at home studying for exams while still in NTU), I tried my best to catch the lyrics and find it online to no avail. I even used my SE Walkman phone's awesome TrackID app to record and send a sample over the very expensive phone data thing but they couldn't find it in their database. I think I even posted a thread on the channel's forum asking about the song but no replies.
Today however, I strained my hearing to catch barely 2 lines of lyrics. Not putting too much hope into things, I googled (on which I played Pac Man on this afternoon--fun stuff!) and lo! I found it!! And imagine my surprise when I found out it is not by an angmoh but by a Chinese. A Taiwanese called Europa Huang. Don't let the name fool you. He's got a great voice. :D Click here for his website.
The song is Over the Way
Lyrics:黃建為
Music:黃建為
Arranger: 吳金黛&黃建為(吉他)
The sunshine's come, the flowers dance along the river, the mountain.
It's cold in the stream, I jump in and swim, being a dreamer, saying nothing in words.
Approaching to a child, ignoring the crowd.
I hear my heart beat, it's so real.
Nameless song, I've sung it over the way.
And maybe I'll be alone to be on the tramp with the moon.
So you empty the roads leading the craft for truth.
Yai yai yai ya
'Cause I don't have wings to fly so freely like birds in the sky.
I'll have to let go of mind to soar in the wind and smile.
Approaching to a child, ignoring the crowd.
I hear my heart beat, it's so real.
Nameless song, I've sung it over the way.
