Soundtrack to Mamma Mia!

I have a dream
A song to sing
To help me cope
With anything
If you see the wonder
Of a fairy tale
You can take the future
Even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream
I have a dream
...
Mamma Mia! Found the soundtrack today ;-) Am listening to it over and over again! Enjoyed the movie a lot a couple of weeks back ;-)

You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Diggin' the dancing queen
...

JAY CHOU's latest CAPRICORN

Jay Chou's latest album Capricorn (yes he is a Capricorn) was launched recently on Oct 9. Radio stations are playing his songs and CD shops too. There seems to be no escape hehe. I am now listening to it. Love his songs as always. U cannot deny how big Jay Chou is and how influential his music is. His name is like one big brand itself. Jay Chou chips. I still remember finding these chips in a little convenient store when backpacking in Sapa (north Vietnam near the border of China!).

Back to the album, the first single released if I am not wrong is called "Dao Xiang" (Fragrant Rice). It's written and composed by him and it's really meaningful if u listen close. In the car listening to it, Augustine wonders if his inspiration for this song came from the recent earthquakes in China. I think so too. It's got a very uplifting and encouraging message and feel to it.

Hmm...I guess I will never stop listening to his songs, I've been listening to them for years, through my ups and downs. I am not exactly a very crazy fan, I've only been to 2 events to see him, one was when he was at 1 Utama for an outdoor meet the fans session. That was a few years back and I think I queued for at least 2 hours just to shake his hands and get my album signed! Second one was attending his concert earlier this year. I thoroughly enjoyed it, the crystal piano he flew in with and his playing combined - simply amazing.
