Wei Posted June 20, 2014 at 07:49 PM Report Posted June 20, 2014 at 07:49 PM 大家好! This is my first post here. I'm hoping someone can give me recommendations for a few really good Chinese pop songs that have to do with love. Happy songs, not about breakups or loneliness, but songs you might sing to someone if you're in love with them. Here are two examples, in Thai, that would be perfect, except that I need recommendations in Mandarin. Anyway, songs with this kind of feel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qF80eogDpM8& https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ron8lTzWirw Those songs are from the 2007 movie "Love of Siam," which is all about love. So how close can we come to songs like that in Chinese? Any recommendations would be very much appreciated. Thanks! Quote
Wei Posted June 21, 2014 at 09:40 PM Author Report Posted June 21, 2014 at 09:40 PM Hello again. In my original post above, I linked to sample melodies for pop songs, but I realized I should have probably linked to lyrics too, to give you a sense of what I'm looking for. So please excuse this addition. Here are the same two songs, this time with links to English (and Thai) lyrics. These are examples to show exactly what I'm looking for, except that I'm hoping I can find similar songs in Mandarin. Positive, uplifting, beautiful, and totally in love: Pieng ter, song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qF80eogDpM8& Pieng ter, lyrics: http://www.lyricsty.com/august-band-piang-ter-lyrics.html Gun lae gun, song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ron8lTzWirw Gun lae gun, lyrics: http://www.lyricsty.com/august-band-gan-lae-gan-lyrics.html I read on another thread in this forum that most Mandarin songs are about how difficult love is (loss, loneliness, etc.). I'm hoping that the community can suggest some Chinese (普通话) songs that are about how terrific and great it can be to be in love. Thanks again for your help. [Edited to fix one of the links.] Quote

Wei Posted June 27, 2014 at 06:14 PM Author Report Posted June 27, 2014 at 06:14 PM Thanks for the recommendation. Is that song in Cantonese? Quote

JaredF Posted June 29, 2014 at 06:30 AM Report Posted June 29, 2014 at 06:30 AM I'm not 100 percent sure what your looking for. But here are a couple love songs off the top of my head that would be appropriate to sing to someone that aren't depressing break up songs. If you need more let me know! -Jared 陶喆-就是爱你 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlPjpVPrC_o 王力宏- 爱的就是你 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNnQqokjv_0 Quote

oceancalligraphy Posted July 16, 2014 at 08:24 AM Report Posted July 16, 2014 at 08:24 AM I second 就是愛你 by 陶喆. It's one of my favorites. This might have too much of an upbeat tempo compared to your examples, but it's a happy song and the first song I thought of: 林俊傑 - 因你而在 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqV7skPEcWo Every song I think of is more of that tempo... I might have to think of a few slower tempo songs. Quote
