a Mayday post

… so I have also found out that I haven’t properly introduce Mayday (五月天) here either.. huh. But I have mentioned them in top ten fave bands. ^_-;

 
Anyway, here is them: 五月天 or Mayday. (I lol-ed at their name… hehe their 五月天 literally means May day. 五月 means the 5th month, which is May; and 天 is day. Lol =)) fun~~)

 
I’m not sure when and why I have started looking them up… I think it may be when I saw their New Year 2010 perf on a Taiwan channel. Yeh. I think that was it. ^^; They performed before Wang Lee Hom. They have performed 人生海海 and 天使. I think they also performed other songs but I forgot ^^; I liked their perf and songs in that perf, and I was surprised the band is around since 1997! I thought they were fairly new. Haha o_o; anyway….

 
Here are some of their songs that I like~~~
About this song+MV, I thought I vaguely remember it↓ (title: 牙關)

I’m not sure whether I have seen this MV or the trailer of this movie, because I specifically remember the CD shop scene at 2:19… I’m not sure

 
[私奔到月球] Elope to the Moon is a sweet fun song.

 
你不是真正的快乐 (you are not really happy)

 
This is one of my all-time favorites, [温柔(还你自由版)] Tenderness (Return Your Freedom Version). I love the lyrics. This is a breakup song actually. The whole message is like ‘I never knew, so to show my “tenderness,” I’m ending this relationship. So that you can be ‘free.’

for the whole translation to the song is here~

 
recent song that I like: Mayday collab with 丁噹 (Ding Dang). I like Mayday’s collabs with other artists. They’re cute afaik, Ashin (a member of Mayday) has made a collab with Leehom, too. I think it was during heroes of the Earth. ^_^

 
I also love [未来 (Sailing, With Me)] , an instrumental song in their Just My Pride compilation album. It soothes me when I feel restless or when I feel like I want to escape from reality (stress lol). The bad thing is that I’d miss the beach. LOL sad i can’t find any links to share this song…

 
I honestly haven’t really explored much of their songs yet, but they are already in my top 10 fave bands… So, for me, they are really good. ^^; The first two songs that I had mentioned (人生海海 and 天使) are also good songs, btw
