Vast & Hazy with the opening number off of their new album, 五常法則 (5S). =D

整理整頓清潔中 (Apple) begins with a slightly subdued arrangement, but the song has all of their customary urgency. I really love this!

I didn't see this cover when it came out last year, 美秀集團 Amazing Show with a remake of a 陳綺貞 Cheer Chen song from 2000. Starts off mellow, but ends with a wild gtr solo (by guest guitarist 黃正安). =D

Unexpected RnB groove in this new single from Vast & Hazy! (Released in late May)

Sounds great, and I really thought that guitar solo at the end was gonna extend, cos the arrangement got a bit heavier... but nope, the song was over too soon! I hope when they play this live, they stretch out that last section and go wild, LOL. =D

New single released yesterday by Vast & Hazy!   =D

Big Thank You to @eggstremely-eggshausted for the heads-up about this.  

This is the lyrics video, but I’m sure there’ll be a full MV for this song.  

Lyricist: 顏靜萱 Ka Ka Yen

Composer/Producer/Guitar: 林易祺 LNiCH

This is an acoustic arrangement, pretty much only Yi-Chi Lin 林易祺’s guitars and 顏靜萱 Ka Ka Yen’s vocal.  It is still fairly intense, tho, in keeping with the urgent VH style.  

I wonder if there will be an full electric rock arrangement at some point?  That would be killer, stretch it out with wild gtr solos, etc.   =D

Full lyrics and credits back at YT.

[fyeahcindie]

Following on from the previous post, this is the same combination of the Italian band AcomeandromedA and Waa Wei 魏如萱  -- co-written by Waa and 2 Italians (Andrea Manghisi & Vito Antonio Indolfo).

Sleeping Lotus is on the 2014 album, 還是要相信愛情啊混蛋們 (You Lovely Bastard) 

Mello Mello is the song we posted earlier; Waa’s verse is sung later in that version, but I think the music is exactly the same?

Thanks again to Jake for the help!  =D

By the way, Mojim lyrics site has the Mandarin/Italian lyrics, so you can read along over THERE.  (Mojim doesn’t allow copying)

Message from 顏靜萱 Ka Ka Yen

k_k_yen . (Instagram) “路上行人都有保持安全距離 捷運人少少的 幾乎所有人都戴著口罩 公廁洗手大家都洗很久很認真 還得排隊洗 很多人忍痛取消規劃好的旅遊、聚會  這可能是我們最團結的時刻了  除了怕死以及政府和相關人員的宣導非常到位以外，我想和民族性與我們從小受的教育也有關係吧？這種時刻我們大部分人都能共體時艱、以社會群體為重，而不是像歐美似乎比較以個人和個人的自由為優先，突然覺得這樣的教育還是有點好處的，大家都很乖也很正義。（雖然我同時也覺得社會道德標準突然變得很嚴苛是另一種失控，不能說錯，但也有點可怕）（個人觀感）  看著音樂節、書展什麼的一個個取消、延期真的滿難過的，我們都知道這些代表多少人的心血和期待付之一炬，還有不敢去想的虧損和這一切的連鎖效應... 誠心希望大家都能好好度過難關，未來能夠好好在和平的時候再見。  能夠健康呼吸就是一種幸運了， 我們都很幸運！ 繼續保持謹慎而不是緊張， 保持樂觀而不是天真， 互相幫助而不是互相猜忌。”

By the way, it seems like ‘Johnny Fan’ has a very long name up there, but I’m just trying to combine how the band lists it, how he spells it, and how the MV has it.  And this is why my life is so CONFUSING.
