currently listening to

I’m currently learning the lyrics to this song–我怀念的 (translation: “I fondly remember/miss”)–right now (a fun way to expand my Chinese vocabulary) by 孫燕姿 (Sun Yanzi). I really like her music (and the fact that she plays the piano well) and am convinced that she’s the most talented Chinese singer-musician today (sorry, Jacky). I’ve been listening to her new album, 逆光 (Against the Light), on my commute to work since April and it never gets old. Highly recommended.

At work, I mostly listen to Mendelssohn’s Songs Without Words (Daniel Barenboim, pianist) I & II, and some Smooth Jazz. Makes for good study/background music.
