she's the catcher in the rye

i rarely enjoy female singers (prolonged exposure to female voices somehow grates my nerves hahaha!), so when i randomly chanced upon her while youtubing Mayday's songs (they belong to the same record company, B'in Music) and found myself drawn to her songs, i was like ^__^. i like her slightly off, Dido-esque pronunciation (which also means that i can't understand her without lyrics). i can't find much info about her in English as she's a fairly new artist in the Taiwanese music scene. she's 21 according to her wiki page (imo, she looks slightly more mature than that). that's all. and oh i love her hair! :)

btw the title of this post alludes to her other song by the same name as JD Salinger's book, which I've not read but would like to. I guess she likes it a lot because she calls herself that (麥田捕手) on her weibo page too.

anyway in my current state of keeping you-know-who away from my ears (Day 1: doing okay. phew! i even had to make sure his songs are not in my current playlist before i play), may i present to you: Ann 白安 and 是什麼讓我遇見這樣的你 How Is It That I Met Someone Like You What Brings Me To You.

and oh, HAPPY VALENTINE'S!! ^_^


我是宇宙間的塵埃 漂泊在這茫茫人海
偶然掉入誰的胸懷 多想從此不再離開
我是宇宙間的塵埃 微不足道的一種狀態
偶然成了誰的最愛 多想相信永恆存在
I'm a speck of dust in the universe, floating amidst a sea of people
every once in a while, I'd fall into someone's embrace, where I'd no longer want to leave
I'm a speck of dust in the universe: negligible, insignificant
by chance I'd become someone's beloved, and I want to believe in the existence of the eternal

是什麼 讓我遇見這樣的你
是什麼 讓我不再懷疑自己
是什麼 讓我不再害怕失去
在這茫茫人海裡 我不要變得透明
how was it that I met someone like you?
what was it that I no longer doubt myself?
what was it that I no longer fear loss?
in this vast sea of people, I do not want to become invisible

我是宇宙間的塵埃 漂泊在這茫茫人海
若你是我必然的存在 多想從此不再離開
若時間注定要讓你離開 我又該怎麼學會不依賴
I'm but a speck of dust in the universe, floating amidst a sea of people
if you were to be my inevitable existence, then I'd never leave
if time decides to let you go, I should learn not to be dependent of you
