Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole - 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow'


Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole - 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow'




If you want to learn to play this on guitar, Marty gives a great lesson.

Love Will Tear Us Apart Again

Here are three versions of the same song. The first one is the original by Joy Division, the second is a cover by Nouvelle Vague and the third is The Cure (with Lyrics).






I like the Nouvelle Vague version best but someone on YouTube had this to say:


"I really don't like it. The meaning of the song is not respected at all ; trying to turn a deep and heart-taking song into a futile and light pop song is obviously doing another - and much less talented- song. Moreover, her voice is quite commonplace, she got a coy way to play with her hand... This sounds ludicrous"

What do you think?

MIA - Paper Planes

This is another pick from Martin. It took a while to grow on me.

A Deserts Chang Playlist


Here is a set of songs by Deserts. I made it shorter than yesterday. It has Bao Bei, I Shall Believe (Sheryl Crow cover) Scream, and Candy Kisses.



Yellow - Coldplay

Hello Christina,


Just to start you off, here is Martin's recommendation. "Yellow" by Coldplay. The sound quality is kind of low. The official video will not let me embed.





Here is a cover by my favorite Taiwanese singer Deserts Chang



張懸 - Yellow Cover




Let me know what you think.
