12 Girls Band - My Heart Will Go On

This instrumental artist took the massively famous song from the movie Titanic and turned it into something else—something perhaps more palatable to the many who despise the hit track? I’m not sure if it’s people’s hatred of the original artist, Celine Dion, or just their disdain for the theatricality of the song, but somehow it has gone from being the most popular song (when I was in elementary school) to the target of scorn. Maybe playing it with traditional Chinese instruments will reduce its rage-inducing effects!

My assigned Chinese name is the same as the first part of this song’s name, so when I’ve told people my Chinese name they would start singing this very famous Chinese folk song to me. I learned it first when part of it was used in a Gary Cao song, and have heard it numerous times since, although I hear it’s banned in China now because of its association with the Jasmine Revolution. *rolls eyes* Anyway, this is a modern version performed with traditional instruments by this popular cover artist.

This artist is pretty awesome. They do some originals, but also lots of covers of songs from all over the place with traditional Chinese instruments. It always sounds so cool! I had trouble picking a song because they have so many good ones, but I eventually went with this one because it's an original instead of a cover.
