中英混血創作人 Mara Measor
一個女孩子，可以背負多少？中英混血創作人 Mara Measor ，背景得天獨厚，但她選擇了走自己的路，曾經背起行囊遠赴埃塞俄比亞生活一年，在當地寫了30多首歌，其後被艾美獎得獎監製 Jamie Lawrence 發掘，當上創作人後仍事事一腳踢，自彈自唱、宣傳、安排演出等都親力親為，非常用心。
她的首張專輯終於要推出了，從與她的對話中感覺到， Mara 是一個很喜歡思考，甚至很多愁善感的人。她的音樂，給人初秋微涼的感覺。「我是一個時時刻刻都能受啟發的人，看到或聽到什麼東西都可以觸動我的心靈，留下印象。所以我時刻都會帶備筆記本…… 同一時間可以有五本呢！」對她來說，樹木是引發思考的泉源。「說來可能很奇怪吧，每次我被樹木包圍時，都覺得深受啟發。樹木不斷生長、枯萎，除非每天拍下照片記錄，否則人的肉眼難以看見。每次我看見樹木都感到很平靜，覺得一切問題都會迎刃而解，只要慢慢用心做好事情，最終一定有好的收成。」....
Listen to her song "I want to love you", the lyrics are bilingual. Her PTH pronunciation of 捨棄 is slightly wrong.
My goodness, she sounds like an angel. What a beautiful voice.
ReplyDeleteCode-switching within lyrics seems very natural.
Music can be the best way to pass messages across nation boundaries :)
Thanks for sharing this song. It's very enjoyable!

I have never heard a song with so much bilingual elements before, and the song is very soft and comfy. @v@
ReplyDeleteBtw, I also found that her pronunciation of 捨棄(she3qi4) sounds like 寫棄（xie3qi4). Apart from this, her pronunciation sounds good~
Expecting to hear more bilingual songs from Mara. and to see more Hong Kong composers writing "real" bilingual songs as code switching makes songs interesting.
What a sweet song!!!!
ReplyDeleteI would like to listen more of her songs <3
After listening this song, I think of another song which is also consisted of bilingual features.
Together covered by Robynn and Kendy!
Share with you guys and hope you like it!!!
