王菲 Faye Wong – 天空

Faye Wong (born 8 August 1969) is a Chinese singer-songwriter and actress, often referred to as a “diva” (Chinese: 天后; literally: “Heavenly Queen”) in Chinese-language media. Born in Beijing, she moved to British Hong Kong in 1987 and came to public attention in the early 1990s by singing ballads in Cantonese.

Tian Kong (天空), known as Sky in the English-speaking world, is the ninth studio album (her second album in Mandarin) recorded by her when she was based in Hong Kong.

It was released 22 years ago, on 10 November 1994. I was still a schoolboy at that time.

我的天空　为何挂满湿的泪
我的天空　为何总灰的脸
飘流在世界的另一边　任寂寞侵犯一遍一遍
天空划著长长的思念

你的天空　可有悬着想的云
你的天空　可会有冷的月
放逐在世界的另一边　任寂寞占据一夜一夜
天空藏着深深的思念

我们天空　何时才能成一片
我们天空　何时能相连
等待在世界的另一边　任寂寞嬉笑一年一年
天空叠著层层的思念

但愿天空　不再挂满湿的泪
但愿天空　不再涂上灰的脸

The Alan Parsons Project – Eye in the Sky

Don’t think sorry’s easily said
Don’t try turning tables instead
You’ve taken lots of chances before
But I ain’t gonna give any more
Don’t ask me
That’s how it goes
‘Cause part of me knows what you’re thinking…
Don’t say words you’re gonna regret
Don’t let the fire rush to your head
I’ve heard the accusation before
And I ain’t gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing

I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don’t need to see any more
To know that I can read your mind, I can read your mind

Don’t leave false illusions behind
Don’t cry ’cause I ain’t changing my mind
So find another fool like before
‘Cause I ain’t gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while all of the signs are deceiving

Alan Walker – Faded

You were the shadow to my light – did you feel us?

Another star, you fade away

Afraid our aim is out of sight wanna see us alive?

Where are you now? Where are you now? Where are you now?

Was it all in my fantasy? Where are you now?

Were you only imaginary? Where are you now?

Atlantis – under the sea! Under the sea! Where are you now?

Another dream? The monsters running wild inside of me

I’m faded, I’m faded

So lost… I’m faded, I’m faded

So lost… I’m faded

These shallow waters never met what i needed

I’m letting go – a deeper dive

Eternal silence of the sea I’m breathing… alive

Where are you now? Where are you now?

Under the bright but faded lights you set my heart on fire

Where are you now? Where are you now? Where are you now?

Atlantis – under the sea! Under the sea! Where are you now?

Another dream? The monsters running wild inside of me

I’m faded, I’m faded

So lost… I’m faded, I’m faded

So lost… I’m faded

Kiiara – Gold

Roof is falling let me love falling I just know
Roof is falling let me love me

Gold up in my, gold up in my teeth (Gold up, gold up in my teeth)
Don’t care what you say to me, I’m a bite your feelings out (Gold up in my teeth)
I missed you in the basement (Gold up in my teeth)
But your brother was a good substitute for you

And if you love me, love me but you never let me go
When the roof was on fire, you never let me know
Say you’re sorry honey, but you never really show
And I could leave the party without ever letting you know
Without ever letting you know

Roof is falling let me love me falling I just know
Roof is falling let me love me without ever letting you know

Roof is falling let me love me falling I just know
Without ever letting you know

Gold up in my, gold up in my teeth (Gold up, gold up in my teeth)
Taste like money when I speak (Gold up, gold up in my teeth)
And I missed you in the basement (Yeah, gold up in my teeth)
Bodies on the pavement (Oh, gold up in my teeth)

The Chainsmokers – Don’t Let Me Down

Crashing, hit a wall
Right now I need a miracle
Hurry up now, I need a miracle
Stranded, reaching out
I call your name but you’re not around
I say your name but you’re not around

I need you, I need you, I need you right now
Yeah, I need you right now
So don’t let me, don’t let me, don’t let me down
I think I’m losing my mind now
It’s in my head, darling I hope
That you’ll be here, when I need you the most
So don’t let me, don’t let me, don’t let me down
D-Don’t let me down

Damian Lazarus & The Ancient Moons – Vermillion (&ME Remix)

Continuing its epic journey into the stratosphere and beyond, Vermillion gets a glistening new re-rub from &ME. Vermillion has already become a record box ‘must have’ as one of the biggest tunes of the Winter Music Conference in Miami, an ‘Essential New Tune’ nod from Pete Tong, a dance floor favourite of Dixon and an interstellar remix package featuring Jamie Jones, Agoria and Deniz Kurtel.

The new remix by the sought after German DJ / producer is set to lift ‘Vermillion’ to even dizzier heights. Featuring the revelatory soul of LA singer-songwriter and guitarist Moses Sumney, the track captures the globe-trotting influences of Damian Lazarus’s new album.

“There is nothing that compares to DJing under the stars,” Lazarus explains. “In the night air or being responsible for soundtracking the rising of the sun and I wanted to create an album that reflects these beautiful moments.”

Rob Dougan – Clubbed to Death (The Matrix Soundtrack)

“Clubbed to Death” is a 1995 song by Rob Dougan. It appeared in the 1996 film Clubbed to Death and was given renewed attention in 1999 due to its inclusion in the film The Matrix. It was re-released as a single in 2002 with new remixes.
The short strings introduction is an excerpt from the first movement of Edward Elgar’s Enigma Variations, and the piano solo is improvised around Enigma Variations as well. Haven’t listened in a long time and it still gives me chills and reminds me of my younger years.
