Random thoughts Stray memories

Attending Faye Wong's concert tonight has made my day. She sang my second favourite song, and later my favourite one. Hearing her live is much better than running round the tracks listening to her on auto-repeat. Much better to see her quirky hop-and-dance, and hear her laugh as she forgot the lyrics to someone else's song. Her voice is the shiniest thing. It stands out divided from the accompanying music, much like the way Moses parted the Red Sea. The other instruments serve to pad the gaps where her voice isn't.

Faye is a reluctant singer because she doesn't like to entertain. She said that if she stopped singing, she would also stop all promotional activities and fade away so people would forget her. She didn't say much, she simply thanked the audience at the end of her songs.

No. Thank YOU.
