I'm back again with my post for the #threetunetuesday playlist which is a contest hosted by ablaze. Today, I will feature my part 6 for Chinese songs! The songs are chosen from my Chinese playlist. I try to pick the ones that I think more people will like since some of the songs have a unique taste that not everyone will like and if it happened to be a song I covered before than I would skip it. Anyways I hope you enjoy the songs.
The first song randomly chosen was White Moonlight and Red Mole by Dazi. I actually don't know much about this singer except that she's from China if I'm not wrong. This song is also her most famous song. I remember when this song was released; it was sang a lot in this karaoke app I played. Almost every room had someone queue this song.
As for the meaning of this song. It's actually not that easy to explain. I think this song is about love. There is a guy that likes this girl and usually when a guy likes a girl they will notice her like there's a limelight on her. In the case of the song, it's a moonlight and maybe this guy is shy. I think the guy is shy because of the lyrics that mention the cinnaber mole is hard to disappear. I'm thinking this is meaning the feeling for some shy people when they like someone their face will turn red. Anyways I could totally be off on the meaning but I hope you liked this song.
The second song chosen was Spare Tire by R-Chord. R-Chord is a singer from Taiwan. He's a popular singer but there are some people that dislike him due to some of things he has done. Personally, I'm also not supportive of some of the things he's done but I don't let the history of the singer affect whether I like a song or not. If a song is nice, it's nice. I wasn't able to find a video with English subs with the original singer but I thought this video where this guy sings a cover. He even teaches how to pronounce the words from the songs which I thought was pretty cool.
The song is about a guy that loves this girl. The girl just thinks of him as a good friend. This guy always sees her get hurt from relationships. All he wants is for her to love him back but it seems he's always left behind like a "spare tire". This is basically what the song is about.
Finally, the last song chosen was Crush On by Howard Lee. Howard Lee is also another Taiwanese singer. I actually don't know much about him but he's younger than me. This is also a song I found recently and added to my playlist; I found it from a Chinese R&B playlist and thought this song was quite catchy and I liked it.
This song is pretty straightforward. It's even in the title of the song. The song is about a guy that has a crush on this girl. It goes through those feelings when you have a crush on someone like not being able to sleep because you keep thinking about that person. There's also that worry that maybe they don't like you back. It seems like in this case the girl also has crush on him. The guy hopes that it's more than just a short term crush. I think this matches with how the world is like now with people falling fast in love and then falling out of love just as fast. I hope this was a good interpretation.
I made sure to find videos with English subs so it's better for your experience.

Also I do not own any of these songs and these are not my YouTube channels; it's just for fair use and sharing new music to everybody. All credit for these songs go to their singer🙏.
