Review #1 - Paul Au

Paul was one of the founding members of Crescendo Music. A group of people who loves music and performing music. CM is specially focused in unplugged music for cafe entertainments, wedding receptions, company functions and any other venues that needs live unplugged music. More on this performing group a few posts later.

When he came over to my house to let me have a listen, i was hooked to it. It was No.1 on my playlist for 4weeks in a row!! Not bad for a locally written song!

Now, let's get back to the song review. The song is filled with a kind of sad emotions. When you close your eyes, you could almost feel the heartache (...almost). The intro part, where the descending keys is coming in, sometimes still scares me. But i like how the acoustic sound of the upright was captured on track. A little bit to bright and sharp for my ears but i still like it. The verse still sounds a little bit like Eason Chen to me. However, the chromatic scale into the opening verse caught my attention. I guess that is what good music is made of. The chorus is really the impact of the song. i heard pain, anguish and regret. I'm not sure whether that is the meaning of the chorus since i can't read Chinese that well yet. I felt that the repeating chorus at the end just right after the every instrument was taking rest should sound nicer if they raise the key by 1/2 step. But that's just me.

This track can be found on BYE-CD on sale right now. This is the only song that caught my ears. But who knows, i might do a review on the rest too! Till then, I'm signing off~

Love,
JL
