Recently, the tv has been playing the song from the local movie 《割愛》starring Zoe Tay and Hong Kong actor. The theme song 《手中線》was sung by 龔芝怡 and the opening part was from the late 张雨生's song 天天想你. The link to the movie's song is attached below:
Born in 1966, 张雨生's name literally translates to "born in the rain". He established a rock band and made a successful musical career in taiwan from 1987 and released several mandarin hits, including the above song, which means thinking of you everyday. His rather high-pitched but unique quality voice delivered songs with sincerity and quickly established a following of fans. Unfortunately, at the height of his career, he had a head-on-collision in a traffic accident and died in November 1997. His ardent fans in the musical world wept for the passing of such a young musical talent at the age of just 31, whose life was cut short by the tragic accident.
I wonder how many people remembers him today and I am attaching the song below in memory of him. I certainly remember the song and its lyrics vividly because I do sing it from time to time. However, I must say his voice does sound a bit grating at times.
