Turn off all lights in the room and sit in the dark without doing anything except listening to the elegant melody. When you see outside, the city is in sound sleep, it’s dark and there is no moon, not even a single star blinking eyes. The only thing you can see is the dim light of street lamp.

   I never like play music loud because the big noisy voice will destroy the taste of melody. Pure music will purify your soul and make you forget everything all around you. But sometimes you’ll find pure music without singing can make you lonely, unbearably lonely, then you have to listen to some songs.

   I never listen to songs created by people who doesn’t put his life in it. Only treat music as a thing of life, then one can make soul-stirring music. When you feel lonely in the metropolis, you can listen to the songs of Xu Wei. His songs are like a string of stream flowing with a speed neither too quick or too slow to comfort you. His blues can make you no longer blue.

   Wu Bai only had a few songs with emotion. Though he wrote a lot of them, only a few of them are classical. With you forever, a song about a man singing with true heart to the woman he loves.

   Knife Boy, I don’t know how to refer him in English. There seems no word in English for it. When I first heard his The First Snow of 2002, I was on the bus to Wuhan. After so many years of being a song listener, I feel his song was like a fresh air to blow all my fidget away. No matter what he sings, he always sings them with full passion. Even old songs sang by other singers, he can sing it again in a charming tone, which is sometimes better than the original one.
