I already covered this new Kenji Wu Chinese album earlier on.
But recently as I listen to radio and heard this new song (爱太痛) in the album and that I loved it so much that I had to tell you to listen to it somehow !!
VERY TOUCHING !
I totally feel the pain sang by Kenji ! The very very very sad pain in the song. Like he said, "cannot eat, cannot sleep". Boy do I understand the pain. I have been through it all. Sleeping pills were my best friend then. Even if it lasted only a few hours. Then when you are awake from the heavy knock out effects, right in the middle of the night, your fears and imagination and desperation come a-rushing back and you are almost consumed with so much pain that you cannot imagine otherwise. Breaking up is so damn painful. It is a very sad part of life.

爱太痛 Lyrics
词/曲：吴克群
吃不能吃 睡不能睡
没有了你 全都不对
我都学不会 把爱敷衍
用笑容来把眼泪催眠
笑不能笑 哭不敢哭
人不像人 鬼不像鬼
朋友都说这 不过失恋
但我却连呼吸都胆怯
能不能不爱了 因为爱太痛了
我痛得快死了 却无法把你忘了
能不能不爱了 爱情它太痛了
我痛得快死了 却无法把爱割舍
我不能睡~
吃不能吃 睡不能睡
没有了你 全都不对
我都学不会 把爱敷衍
用笑容来把眼泪催眠
能不能不爱了 因为爱太痛了
我痛得快死了 却无法把你忘了
能不能不爱了 爱情它太痛了
我不能够
不能够 不爱了
能不能不爱了 因为爱太痛了
我痛得快死了 却无法把你忘了
能不能不爱了 爱情它太痛了
我不能够
不能够 不爱了
吃不能吃 睡不能睡
吴克群 Other Album Covers
Years ago, Album Art or Album Cover or Album Artwork does not matter. It comes with your LP. It comes with your CD. But it is not something that you worry too much about. You look at it, put it back to the jewel case and then you keep it in your shelf or rack or shoebox and just enjoy your music.
Then came Apple and the first generation iPod. When Apple came out with that revolutionary product, it kicks off the MP3 craze (sorry, Creative, I know you came first but...). Album art was still, however, not something you cared. Properly tagged MP3 files are (you know, the MP3 file must be tagged with the right artist name, right album name, right release year, right gene, right composer.. you get the idea..).
Then came iPod with the colour display. Album Art was re-introduced as a real art form. People realised that they do want to make good use of those bright color pixels on the iPod screen. Then when CoverFlow was purchased by Apple in 2006, and its technology was integrated into its iTunes 7. People start to realize that there is probably a need to fill out this blank square in the iTunes library.
Album Art suddenly matters. Really matters to me personally.
If done correctly, it is embedded in your MP3 file and when you use iTunes or use your beautiful ipod nano or ipod classic, a properly formatted album art is in fully glory and is just a great companion to the songs. If you have a iPod Touch or a iPhone, Cover Flow is incorporated to it and album art then takes a different amazing experience.
I bought my first iPod when Apple introduced the iPod nano. I never looked back and thus begin my journey of self obsession with my iPod. Every MP3 track in my iPod must be properly tagged. Every MP3 track in my iPod must have the lyrics. Every MP3 track must be traced back to the original album where the first time the song appeared. Every track must be tagged up in proper Unicode format (since I listen to mostly Asian songs). And of course, my track must have a proper decent album artwork.
To me, a properly sized album is at 500x500 dimension. Some called it an overkill (but hey, I think Apple iTunes stores' songs are at 600x600 !). But that's me. me. me.
Over time, I find it frustrating that it is difficult to automatically find properly sized album art for Chinese albums. For English albums, there are tons of tools and tons of great album art. Not so for Chinese. For my own CDs, that's fine. I can scan them and then size them properly. For the rest of the MP3 tracks I found on the web, it is not so easy. I do find a lot of album art for Chinese albums that are either too small or even come with watermark embedded in them. I absolutely hate that. I find it crazy. What's the freaking point !
I personally want a web site of album art that are easy to use in my beloved MP3 player. That's why I started this blog. To upload and share album art of Chinese CDs from wherever I scan them, found them, downloaded them, copied them etc. I don't claim to be the owner of all but I do cleaned all up nicely.
I also decided I will regularly blog about my obsession on how I tagged my MP3 songs, added lyrics to them, about how I find and size up my album art. Or maybe whatever new stuff I am doing or learning from others about my iPod, my iTunes or my MP3 files.
You are welcome to use these album art and share them. I am open to that.

DNR Ice Cream: Another 家好月圆 Song
As discussed, I am watching 溏心风暴之家好月圆 and there are many good songs in the show including one by George Lam featured recently.
One is an English song that is sang quite often especially when the sweetest couple in the show are together (甘永好 and 于素心). Although I seldom listen (or even talk about) English songs in this web site, I really wanted to share it as it is a very sweet and romantic song. It is sang by DNR and the title is Ice Cream. The album is a 2007 album called Popstyles and is available in iTunes. I got my song from iTunes ! :)
2007 : DNR Popstyles
Artist：DNR
Song：Ice Cream
Talk to me
Speak with me
Don't sink before you rise, baby
Don't fade away
You hesitate
You seem to wait
For all the time we had
Feels a world away
Who's to say, we'll be okay
We will make it through the night
Don't want to wake up in this state
I just want us both to smile
Cause we're the same
And I know that will never change
Look, I bought your favorite ice cream
I don't want to see it melt away
If you walk out now
I don't know if we could be the same
Baby, just talk with me
Cause I want you to stay here with me
The memories
The things we did
I locked inside my heart
Where I know I won't forget
And now, who's to say, we'll be okay
We will make it through the night
Don't want to wake up in this state
I just want us both to smile
Cause we're the sameAnd
I know that will never change
Look, I bought your favorite ice cream
I don't want to see it melt away
If you walk out now
I don't know if we could be the same
Baby, just talk with me
Cause I want you to stay here with me
I want you to stay here with me

林子祥 分分钟需要你 in 好气连祥 Album
林子祥
I have been watching 溏心风暴之家好月圆 recently. Exciting and roller coaster show (as in the tradition of 溏心风暴). Another tradition of the series has been the songs. In every show, you are introduced to some of the 80s songs that have been very popular then. I found many songs in the first series which I loved a lot.
In this latest series, there is one song sang pretty often. It is by 林子祥 (George Lam) and the title of the song is 分分钟需要你. I like it very much. Can be found in this album (林子祥 好气连祥).
You can also see the many songs featured in the latest series by visiting this web site. I thought it was a GREAT effort !
1997 : 林子祥 好气连祥
分分钟需要你 lyrics
歌手：林子祥
愿我会揸火箭带你到天空去
在太空中两人住
活到一千岁都一般心醉
有你在身边多乐趣
共你双双对好得尺好得意
地暗天昏当闲事
就算翻风雨只需睇到你
似见阳光千万里
有了你开心d 乜部都称心满意
咸鱼白菜也好好味
我与你永共聚分分钟需要你
你似是阳光空气
扮靓d皆因你癫癫地皆因你
为你甘心做傻事
扮下猩猩叫睇到乜都笑
有你在身边多乐趣
若有朝失左你花开都不美
愿到荒岛去长住
做个假的你天天都相对
对木头公仔做戏
有了你开心d 乜部都称心满意
咸鱼白菜也好好味
我与你永共聚分分钟需要你
你似是阳光空气

Another Payment from ScribeFire
I am very happy again. Received a payment (my second payment) from ScribeFire into my Paypal account.
My last payment was on 8th Sep 2008 (2 months ago). Adding to today's payment, that means I made $15.29 USD so far :)
I noticed again over the past few months that my ScribeFire pays slightly better than my Google Adsense account and in fact, many a times, even though I have ZERO clicks on my ScribeFire ads, there are still earnings from just the Page Per View ads. For Adsense, I only made money (usually) when there is a click.
I guess it is a matter of what type of ads ScribeFire serves on my page. As for my Adsense account.... it is still miserable :)
Oh well.. I am enjoying my web site for its album art and music sharing !
