Evan Goh - Dhoby Ghaut MRT station - 16 Aug 2025
Heartache feels more real than happiness; love can be so cruelly ironic...
The two songs I have selected for that day were both originally performed by A-Mei Chang:
真实 [originally performed by A-Mei Chang (张惠妹)]
Released in 2001 as part of her ninth studio album (of the same name), this song is known as one of A-Mei's signature ballads. It is the Mandarin cover of Korean singer Kim Hyun Sung's 1997 ballad, titled "소원" (so won, which literally means "wish"), a heart-wrenching song about a painful breakup.
连名带姓 [originally performed by A-Mei Chang (张惠妹)]
This song is one of A-Mei's recent releases [in 2017 as part of her 19th studio album, Story Thief (偷故事的人)], with lyrics by David Ke and composition by Jay Chou. It is included in. This song symbolizes the emotional distance and the painful transition of former friends/lovers when they call the other by their full name (signifying that their relationship between them is over), and the struggle of letting go a past relationship.
Dhoby Ghaut MRT station (NS24/NE6/CC1) is a busking location open daily, 10a.m. - 2p.m.
