Song, you woke me up

Recent bombardment of work left me tired and double visioned. Try as I might to concentrate, my attention started to drift, my eyelids felt increasingly heavy, and my fingers froze on keyboard. So to wake myself up, short of slapping myself in the face every few minutes, I resorted to listening to some of my favorite oldies while I read through thousands of pages of technical materials. If my head bobs, it’s definitely not because I’m sleeping in front of the computer. Here are my Top 5 Work Songs:

No. 1 on this list is Mayday’s “don’ts don’ts” (五月天-傷心的人別聽慢歌). Their catchy lyrics and fast beats improves motor reflexes, which in turn makes repetitive work less tedious.

Song, why are you so sad?

I don’t know what it is about these songs that makes me feel so heartbroken every time I listen to them. Even now, after hearing them gazillion times, I still get all chocked up. You know, the tingling tightness in your chest that is not caused by a heart burn.

Number one on my list is Terry Lin’s interpretation of “Fade Away” (林志炫 – 煙花易冷). Jay Chou may have wrote the song, but it takes a talent like Terry to give it life! Music starts at 0:18.
