There is something in some of Wu Bai's older songs that always get me thinking. I cannot really describe his songs, but they are written like a soliloquy, from a third person's perspective. The effect is that of a guy trying to rationalize his emotions, and he seemed almost often in denial and in futility. The thoughts are intimate, but their owner is miles away, entire songs narrated in a cold, resigned tone.

I am not sure if I what I am writing about makes sense. I know little about songs. Maybe I should stop analyzing them.

Afterall, all I am sure of is that I love rough husky voices from Wu Bai, Billie Myers, Zhao Chuan, Byran Adams to Tracy Chapman. Rough voices can bring out angst so much better.
