#Waa Wei 魏如萱

[fyeahcindie]

A bunch of live clips have been released from Waa Wei 魏如萱’s HAVE A NICE :DAY 巡迴演唱會 concert at Taipei Arena.  The Have A Nice Day album came out in June, 021, and this concert video is from last summer. (?) 

I think the last 3 MVs from this show all feature Waa and most of the band on an auxiliary stage in the center of the venue.  Drums and Keys are back on the main stage.

Producer: 陳建騏 George Chen Arrangement: 張瀚中 Achino Chang, 柯遵毓 Jack Ko, 賴聖文 Peter Lai, 徐平 Hsu Ping, 韓立康 HLK Waa-Vocal/Songwriter Ukulele: 韓立康 Likang Han Bass: Jack Ko 柯遵毓 Keyboard & Accordion: Achino Chang 張瀚中 (阿雞) Drums: 賴聖文 Peter Lai Guitar: 徐平 Ping Hsu Horn Section: 哈管幫 LaBa LaVa: Saxophone/Horn Arrangement: 吳智暉 WaCiaoCool Trumpet: 許晨晞 Nicole Hsu Trombone: 胡世漢 Thomas Hu Backing Vocal: 布蘭地 Brandy Tien, Hang Liu 劉涵 (fr. 隱分子 Infancy Band)

Waa loves to rearrange her humorous tunes from older albums. If you listen on YT or Spotify, you can hear how the songs have evolved over the years.

This is how 吼呦 sounded on the 2011 不允許哭泣的場合 (No Crying) album:

刻在我心底的名字伴奏--魏如萱

https://www.99banzou.com/product/1291741.html 刻在我心底的名字 – 魏如萱 (Waa Wei) 词：许媛婷/佳旺/陈文华 曲：许媛婷/佳旺/陈文华 编曲 : 黄雨勋 原唱：卢广仲 Oublie le 好几次我告诉我自己 越想努力赶上光的影 越无法抽离 而已 Je t’aimais 刻骨铭心只有我自己 好不容易交出真心的勇气 你沉默的回应 是善意 刻在我心底的名字 忘记了时间这回事 于是谎言说了一次就一辈子 曾顽固跟世界对峙 觉得连呼吸都是奢侈 如果有下次 我会再爱一次 刻在我心底的名字 你藏在尘封的位置 要不是这样我怎么过一辈子 我住在霓虹的城市 握着飞向天堂的地址 你可以翱翔 可是我只能停滞 寻找你 茫茫人海却又想起你 好不容易离开思念的轨迹 回忆将我连系…

魏如萱 waa wei [ Ophelia ]

日出是免費的  夕陽也是 Sunrise is free, so is the sunset 深夜是免費的  星光也是 The night is free, so are the stars 可是對於河流我真的一無所知 But I have no idea about rivers 他是瘋的在星期一 On Monday, he is crazy 可是星期五  他完全清醒 But on Friday, he’s totally awake

他從長廊深處  朝我走來 He walks toward me, down the long hallway 在我的手上  放一個冰塊 Puts an ice cube on my hand 說那是我從來沒有看過的海浪 Tells me that’s the waves I’ve never seen 冰塊都還沒有溶化 The ice cub hasn’t even melted yet 他又開始說那些瘋了的話 And he’s already started saying crazy things again

to be or not to be to be or not to be

to be Ophelia or not to be

他是他自己的詩與瘋狂 He is his own poetry and madness 而我，我將會  被花瓣蓋滿 And I, I will be buried by petals 我將會像冰塊  溶化在一條河上 Like the ice cube, I’ll melt into the river 那不會是一個答案 That isn’t an answer 那是一條河  日夜的呼喚 That’s a river, calling out night and day

嗚 Oh...

(夏宇詩《我不知道我已經給了我的早上》)

我並不知道我已經給了我的早上 I didn’t realize I already gave up my morning 還有我的中午還有我的下午 And my noon and my afternoon 我也並不知道也還有我的晚上 And I didn’t know I still have the night 我的晚上你的晚上他的晚上 My night your night his night 我們可以一起為���人度過別人的晚上 We can spend the night together, for someone else 否則風吹過了你就變成風了 Or else the wind will make you crazy 無人在場無人出席無人哀悼 No one around no one shows up no one mourns

to be or not to be to be or not to be

to be Ophelia or not to be

日出是免費的  夕陽也是 Sunrise is free, so is the sunset 深夜是免費的  星光也是 The night is free, so are the stars

This is a fabulous duet and arrangement!  =D

Waa Wei 魏如萱 and Leah Dou 竇靖童 covering 范曉萱 Mavis Fan's classic tune from her 2001 Lounge Diva (絕世名伶) album.

This is the song that made me love Mavis Fan, her arrangement was more traditionally jazzy:

Let’s hear another cover of this tune, I think the male guitarist is 东篱 and the singer is 张蛋蛋 from the band 女巫乐队 Witches:

I found this clip on the GuitarCIA 吉他情报局 channel.  Lots of covers there, and I think part of the channel’s mission is to promote some of the gear they use? (I’m not sure about that, just my guess -- I’ve noticed they are better about listing the gear than they are about naming the musicians, LOL.)  Anyway, I’ve watched 3 other clips of 张蛋蛋 at that channel, all lovely.

There is one excellent song to hear at 女巫乐队 Witches douban. Sung in English.  They are a 4-piece all-girl rock band from 重庆 Chongqing, China, formed in 2017. I’ll try to find a clip to embed, but no luck so far. 

张蛋蛋 is not listed as their singer. tiger-Gtr/Voc, 张蛋蛋-Gtr, 冬梅-Bass,  coco-Drums.  This is all the info I have so far, but please go check out that song!

《星期三或禮拜三》 魏如萱 waa wei、岑寧兒 Yoyo Sham

waa wei also sang a version of this song with 马頔

歌詞：

以為自己就是週末的禮拜三 你說別太死板 不如預支一半 如果必須決定 不能由別人決定 雖然你啊 很容易分心帶些許星期一憂鬱的星期三 你當然也狂放 但也有些牽絆 感性是鐵釘碰上 柔軟的心 生命必須 保持清醒 也混沌不明為什麼 我會被你吸引 當時光 被你喊停 沒理由 我已經 相信 從前這世界 我不知道 同時有著你 還不太了解你 但喜歡你你習慣說星期三或是禮拜三 無論什麼名字本質都是一樣許多問題像泡泡 不斷升起 愛情必須 保持清醒 也混沌不明為什麼 我會被你吸引 當時光 被你喊停 沒理由 我已經 相信 從前這世界 我不知道 同時有著你 還不太了解你 但喜歡你來自哪裡的風 翻起我衣領 吹過我的衣襟 像張著的帆 我們 前進為什麼 我會被你吸引 當時光 被你喊停 沒理由 我已經相信 以後這世界 多了期許 因為有著你 還不太了解你 但我愛你

彼個所在 Heaven by 魏如萱 waa wei

三更半暝  又擱睏袂去 it’s late in the night / i can’t sleep 最近的日子毋是很歡喜 these days i haven’t been very happy 想打電話俾你 i want to call you 撒嬌幾句 to complain just a little

目眶紅紅  嘸想要講話 eyes red-rimmed / i don’t really want to talk 惦惦坐佇遐  敢若無魂有體 sitting here quietly / like my soul is missing I think you know everything i think you know everything 對不對 right

我的哀愁還下著雨 my sorrow is still raining 潮濕的大霧何時散去 when will this humid fog fade away 答答滴答答 da da di da da 答答滴答滴 da da di da di

你今嘛住的彼個所在  咁有習慣 are you comfortable / where you are living now?   係唔係想去邊  就去邊 do you go / wherever you want to 要照顧好自己 I miss you so much please take care of yourself / i miss you so much  很想很想你 i miss you i miss you

[ verse 2 + chorus ]

賣擱操煩賣擱毋甘  就做你去 don’t be reluctant when you go / go without worries 我會記住嗰個  開心的你 i will remember / the happiest you 會照顧好自己 I love you so much i’ll take care of myself / i love you so much   很想很想你  i’ll miss you so much

有一天   let’s meet again 再見 one day
