Just got a demo from Xiao Han Lao Shi to pen lyrics for the song. The demo was a duet sung in English. It was a demo well done, in terms of clarity of singing and the arrangement of the song. It was a song to unite every mankind,bringing them together wtih a purpose and hence, the lyrics need to be written in the direction of 大愛 (big love). The singing, with the decent arrangement, was enough to touch me at that moment while listening to the song. This song was tailored to try for Beijing Olympics 2008 theme song.
I can't help but compare it with my demo and there is really a great difference - mine sucks (in terms of quality). In any field of work today, almost everything is talking about packaging. It is a reality, a fact. Many friends were saying that to get a song publish involves a lot of luck. No doubt, you have to meet the right person, at the right time, with the right song. However, luck with no intention and effort equals nothing, vice versa. After being through 10 years of songwriting and got nothing publish, luck (of course) plays a part (in anything you do); and packaging as well. Sometimes, what are we really talking about when we talk about packaging? Maybe, packaging is yet another phase of hard work, but at a macro level. The result is quite proportion to the efforts and other resources pumped in.
Well, maybe I'm just another songwriter who is contented with a piece of unpolished simple melody that generates from deep inside me. This lazy songwriter finally decided to do something for himself today --- to launch my own album few months down the road. Luck or no Luck, the album is with an intention and done with great effort !!!
The album is for YOU !!!
