roddy Posted August 15, 2011 at 11:07 AM Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 at 11:07 AM I'm amazed I've managed to post a new song every day for so long. Usually I'm kind of feckless and inconstant. 美错 (or for those of you in China and without a VPN, click here). This one I'm really just posting for the bit between the intro and when the strings come back in - just the voice and guitar is perfect.

Areckx Posted August 15, 2011 at 06:24 PM Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 at 06:24 PM My favorite song of the day is 白痴 from her 2001 album. This song actually woke me up in the middle of the night last night, and I was actually glad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbradfor Posted August 16, 2011 at 03:40 AM Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 at 03:40 AM Wow, Faye Wong covering Cocteau Twins. I am seriously enthralled. If I fall asleep tomorrow at work due to staying up all night listening I blame you. [i liked 白痴 a lot too.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted August 16, 2011 at 09:09 AM Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 at 09:09 AM Oh, is 美错 a cover? I had no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbradfor Posted August 16, 2011 at 01:42 PM Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 at 01:42 PM Opps, that was confusing on my end. I don't think 美错 is a cover -- I finally got around to listening to some of the songs here, so the reference to CT covers was about an earlier post. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to put my head down on my desk and take a little nap.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtz Posted August 16, 2011 at 11:18 PM Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 at 11:18 PM A couple more CT covers by Faye: Serpentskirt - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PWck0U3wfY Bluebeard - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFm5OlYT2mM I am always surprised by how many influences Faye has and how many excellent cover versions she has made. Off the top of my head, I think she has covered Blondie, Tori Amos, the Cranberries, the Police, Barry White and (of course) 邓丽君. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbradfor Posted August 17, 2011 at 12:35 AM Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 at 12:35 AM I'm also sure that is a cover, but I can't place the original song. Cranberries? Kate Bush?EDIT. Nevermind. It's Cocteau Twins - Rilkean Heart. Google to the rescue..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhchao Posted November 20, 2011 at 12:38 AM Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 at 12:38 AM A Faye Wong song that the Japanese songwriter 中島美雪 wrote. I like Faye's Cantonese version better than her Mandarin version and the Japanese original. 容易受傷的女人 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepy eyes Posted November 20, 2011 at 05:28 AM Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 at 05:28 AM I intensely dislike Mandopop in general but I loved 闷. I hear a lot of former husband there. Maybe it's just my impression. I'm fetching all of the 1997 tracks right now, can anyone recommend similar tracks from other albums, if they exist? Sort of this post-grungy 90's thing or just anything by her that escapes the whole pop ballad style. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
☁ Ale ☁ Posted September 25, 2014 at 06:41 PM Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 at 06:41 PM Hey Peeps! My favorite song from 王菲 is 我愿意 and 你快乐(所以我快乐). Have a nice day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
