For those of you who like Chinese music from the 80s to 90s: try listening to 最真的梦 (zui4 zhen1 de meng4 or the truest dream) by Emil Chow. It's a pretty old - some will say "ancient" - song: the album was dated 1989 and the introduction sounds like something from my parent's era. Lyrics are really good though, at least IMHO. 最真的梦 - 周åŽå¥ è¯:陈桂çªã€€æ›²:罗大佑 编曲:罗大佑/洪艾伦 ä»Šå¤œå¾®é£Žè½»é€ æŠŠæˆ‘çš„å¿ƒå¹åŠ¨ 多少尘å°çš„往日情 é‡å›žåˆ°æˆ‘心ä¸* 往事éšé£Žé£˜é€ 把我的心刺痛 ä½*是那美梦难忘记 æ·±è—在记忆ä¸* 总是蒌åƒå›ž æ‰çŸ¥æƒ…æ·±æ„浓 总是è¦èµ°éåƒå±±å’Œä¸‡æ°´ æ‰çŸ¥ä½•åŽ»ä½•ä»Ž 为何ç*‰åˆ°é”™è¿‡å¤šå¹´ä»¥åŽ æ‰æ˜Žç™½è‡ªå·±æœ€çœŸçš„梦 是å¦è¿˜è®°å¾—我 还是已忘了我 ä»Šå¤œå¾®é£Žè½»é€ å¹æ•£äº†æˆ‘的梦

My Emil Chow CD is at work but I must have this song somewhere. Went to see this guy in concert in HK. Quite enjoyable.
Emil Chau. My friend will not let me off if I don't do her idol's name justice. This song is soooo old. Reminds me of another of his old song called 这城市有爱
Emil Chau songs are not bad, but I prefer listening to Teresa Deng - Deng Li Jun. Have many of her CD's.
- I go back even further , I'm crazy over songs from the 40s and 50s. I'm always searching for the works of Yao Li, Li Hsiang Lan, Tsui Ping, Zhang Lu , Tsing Ting etcand also people like Doris Day, Patti Page, RosemaryClooney, Dinah Shore Etc.
