MayDay - 賭神

I count myself lucky to have been given free access to this VERY popular Taiwanese artist’s New Year’s concert… in Taiwan! (This was thanks to my friend and her connections.) This band has been called The Beatles of Taiwan, as a testament to their overwhelming popularity and longevity. I could only find the official music video, which luckily has English subtitles!

MayDay - 2012

Another weird coincidence! I was listening to music by this Taiwanese artist today to try to pick a song from their extensive discography, and discovered they’re playing in my area this very night. I already attended a concert of theirs on New Year’s, and the stadium very much resembled that of the concert they show in the music video. The song's lyrics paint a not-so-optimistic picture of the future, alluding to humanity's insistence on marching toward their own destruction--a sentiment I've found to be resonating with me more and more lately.
Note: This official music video not only has HD quality available, but you can also turn on the English subtitles!

MayDay - 為愛而生

This artist is a relatively famous rock band from Taiwan.  Not only is the lead singer better than a lot of singers for rock bands that I hear, but I really love the instrumental aspect of this song.  Especially those strings!  I heard that this song was written for the members of the band who recently had children, which imbues the title (and lyrics) with a nice meaning.  This one guy from Taiwan told me I was "so cool" because I knew who this band was, haha!
