What are you listening to on your cd player/ mp san??

That seems obnoxious. I mean, I have a great many audio files on my own harddrive, but...

I suppose that counts as #firstworldproblems - pirating and yet wanting large companies and institutions not to pirate

I'm now listening to Chinese music only, however I don't understand a word they are saying. I love a song called "Na Xie Nian." It is a beautiful song. I have no idea who the singer is, or what it says, but I l love it.

I am discovering not all Northern Soul is equal. One 3CD collection called, you guessed it, "Northern Soul - the Collection" was superduper. Most of the tunes I picked out above come from there. But another collection, "Move On Up: The Best of Northern Soul" seems to have been an exercise in some special kind of irony, for the tunes are very, very not-best. They have on display very solidly their b-side nature, but not in a good way. I am looking forward to another collection, any other collection.

Meanwhile...

《那些年》 - 胡夏 aka Na Xie Nian, or In Those Years, by Hu Xia. A nostalgia song apparently.

Lyrics: Giddens composer: Kimura full benefits

Back to the original starting point
Your innocent face memory
We finally
To this day
Mat old photos
Memories links
Boys today for the last of about
Back to the original starting point
Stood in front of the mirror
Clumsy red tie knot
Hair in adults
Dressed in a smart suit
See you later than you imagine America
Want to go back to those years of
Before and after returning to the classroom seating
You intentionally gentle scolding
On the Blackboard of permutation and combination
Do you want to unlock
Who's who with his love for her
Missed those years of heavy rain
Those years Miss love
Want to hold you
Hugs Miss courage
Ever wanted to conquer the world
Last look back to find
It drops points in the world is all you
Missed those years of heavy rain
Those years Miss love
I want to tell you
Tell you that I have not forgotten
That night the stars
Parallel universe under the Convention
Meet me once again
Hold you tight
Hold you tight
Back to the original starting point
Stood in front of the mirror
Clumsy red tie knot
Hair in adults
Dressed in a smart suit
See you later than you imagine America
Want to go back to those years of
Before and after returning to the classroom seating
You intentionally gentle scolding
On the Blackboard of permutation and combination
Do you want to unlock
Who's who with his love for her
Missed those years of heavy rain
Those years Miss love
Want to hold you
Hugs Miss courage
Ever wanted to conquer the world
Last look back to find
It drops points in the world is all you
Missed those years of heavy rain
Those years Miss love
I want to tell you
Tell you that I have not forgotten
That night the stars
Parallel universe under the Convention
Meet me once again
Hold you tight
Hold you tight
Missed those years of heavy rain
Those years Miss love
Want to hold you
Hugs Miss courage
Ever wanted to conquer the world
Last look back to find
It drops points in the world is all you
Missed those years of heavy rain
Those years Miss love
I want to tell you
Tell you that I have not forgotten
That night the stars
Parallel universe under the Convention
Meet me once again
Hold you tight
Hold you tight
