"Irresponsible Rankings, Part 3 - Huang Yan"

#Huang Yan , a female singer under Sony Music, has entered the public eye with her fresh, sad and slightly rock style of music. Most of her songs are related to her own experiences and different emotional expressions. Therefore, the subject matter is very special and he is a singer-songwriter with a very personal style in the music scene.

Moreover, many of the copywriting for radio songs is written by Huang Yan, which explains a lot about the creation process and message of the song. But perhaps many people will ignore the copywriting when listening to the songs. In fact, many copywritings are a very important part of the songs.

Which songs are your favorites? What is your impression of Huang Yan?

Third place: #The part of me that has not yet collapsed

Excerpts from the transcript:
The world is falling apart. But because of people, and the various relationships between them,
There is still a little light in the world.
While we are looking for the parts that have not yet collapsed, we are actually revealing that everything around us is bound to decay. Despite this, we still have each other, we still have ourselves.

Second place: #scrapebone

Excerpts from the transcript:
As you grow up, the world scrapes away your characteristics bit by bit, making you blind, lost, and forgetting what you once imagined yourself to be like; but no matter how cruel reality is, our most core characteristics cannot be scraped away. Sometimes, it is only after we are hurt all over that we can see our most original and true selves and hear our deepest desires. Growing up is painful and getting hurt is painful, but because of the hurt, we will transform into a stronger and more beautiful self.

First place: #beforedaylight

Excerpts from the transcript:
No matter how bad the world falls apart, we still hope to see the daybreak. "Before the Daybreak" is the part of our hearts that has not yet collapsed. We once selflessly gave everything for the people and even things we loved. There is passion and romance, or there may only be frustration and disappointment. Loving someone, or loving anything, may be worthwhile or futile. However, let us use this foolish courage to love what we love with all our strength.

Viewer comments: #How to survive the summer

When Cath debuted, she did busking in many areas for promotion. Before she entered the industry, she had given up music for a while due to work. However, when she was strolling around one day, she heard someone busking on the waterfront in Tsim Sha Tsui. On a whim, she borrowed a busker's guitar and sang half of "Rice Fragrance", a song by her idol Jay Chou. Later, she realized that she could not leave music, so she embarked on the path of busking.

Viewer comments: #SmileLost

"Lost Smile" was inspired by Cath's unhappiness and fear caused by fatigue and pressure while working. She felt like she didn't even know how to laugh at the time, so she wrote this song to express her fear. This song has bilingual versions, and the MV was filmed in Taiwan, so some viewers at the time thought Huang Yan was a Taiwanese singer, but this Taiwanese literary and artistic style is also a major feature of Huang Yan.

Viewer comments: #Light

Love songs are prevalent in the music industry, but Cath's songs rarely contain love elements. Instead, they have a different kind of "emotion". Her songs place great emphasis on expressing emotions, whether they are happy or unhappy. I agree that some of her songs are very positive, like the song "Lightness", which can make us forget all our worries when listening to it. But if you say that some songs have very negative energy, I think they are healing and encouraging for everyone from another perspective. They may not help us express our emotions after listening to them, but they can accompany us through sad moments.

Moderator's personal choice #The late bird catches the worm

Excerpts from the transcript:
It's actually quite tiring to require myself to follow the rules in everything and try to exceed the targets. So whenever I get the chance, I will show my rebelliousness and mischief.
Occasionally breaking the rules can balance the boring and stereotyped life, and even create unexpected new things. "The Late Bird Catches the Worm" is an unconventional product.

YouTube Channel : Cath Wong
She’s not a YouTuber, she’s not filming some vlog or game show. But for a singer, her YouTube Channel has many elements. In addition to posting her song MVs, she also performs her songs on some programs or live shows, and of course, she will sing the covers.
In addition, she will invite people from different walks of life to do some interviews, some in the form of filming, some in the form of podcasts, and many of the contents are very special!
