Just a dream

I found this website where I can listen to some new chinese pop songs.... http://www.musicfever.org/chinese/gb.htm I'm so elated! I feel as if I've been deprived of having chinese music for my listening pleasure for the entire year. During the short few days I was back in Singapore earlier this year, I couldn't pick out any striking tunes from the few songs I heard on the radio at all. Finally, now I can sift through whole albums and absorb good melodies. My song preferences are always wierd... possibly due to the fact that I hardly take much notice of lyrics to begin with, and my first impressions are always based on whether I like the tune or not. That sometimes land me with strange preferences for songs that do not catch anybody else's attention at all. I've always wondered, what sets a good song apart from the others? Why are there just a few selective songs that 99% of the population immmediately take a liking to, such as Jay Chou's wu1 ding3 and Chen Hanwei's guan1 huai2 fang1 shi4 , despite everyone's different tastes? I suppose that no one really has an answer to that. If only music composers could come up with the perfect formula to create the tunes that can become a sure hit with EVERYBODY, so that good songs will be produced every single day... but I guess we might set an even higher benchmark for what we deem to be a "good" song. The music industry is so constantly evolving on its own that it's incredible. One wish of mine is to be able to compose a tune that tugs at people's hearts immediately upon hearing it. Is that possible, or merely a dream, I wonder...
