波士顿的春夏秋冬 Four Seasons in Boston – a Mandarin ballad about starting over far from home, now in my own voice (live-action MV)

1 Upvotes

This time it's my own voice, and that's me on camera. The first video of this song used an AI-sung version; for this one I recorded the vocals myself.

Many summers ago a young couple flew to Boston. The song walks through their four seasons: earmuffs in the snow, carrying groceries home "with four hands" before they had a car, strangers who stopped to help push the car out of a snowbank, and now, in our forties, still side by side.

记不得他们的脸 / 却记得雪里的温暖 / 原来这座城 / 还是不错的人间 (I don't remember their faces, but I remember the warmth in the snow. This city turned out to be a pretty good place.)

If you've ever started over in a new city, I hope it brings back the people who helped you, and the one who's still beside you. 这一次是我自己唱、自己出镜。写给那段日子,也写给每一个在异乡重新开始的人。

https://youtu.be/joJLVD3WCrE

About the making: the vocals are my own new recording, and that's me on camera. The instrumental was made with Suno, and the lyrics were written with AI assistance.

[MV] 寻声步 - 起点不冻港 (The Unfrozen Harbor)

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm an independent musician based in Dallas. This is 起点不冻港 ("The Unfrozen Harbor") — an original song about growth, loneliness, voyaging, and the faint but lasting warmth between people.

Some people are like the North Atlantic warm current: they won't accompany you to the end, but they give you the courage to keep going. Two lines I love most: "你不是答案,只是方向" ("You are not the answer, just the direction") and "如果世界依旧冷,我也成为温暖" ("If the world is still cold, I will become the warmth").

5:23, quite atmospheric — headphones recommended. Good for late nights, rainy days, solo drives.

Has someone ever appeared in your life just briefly, yet gave you the courage to move forward?

[MV] 寻声步 - 树和树没闲话 (Trees Don't Gossip)

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm an independent musician based in Dallas. Sharing an original song — 树和树没闲话 ("Trees Don't Gossip"), for everyone exhausted from comparing themselves to others.

Grades, income, houses, kids — the comparison never ends, and neither does the anxiety. The song's answer is simple: 树不会问旁边的树长了多高,花不会问远方的花开得多早。(Trees don't ask the neighboring tree how tall it is; flowers don't ask distant flowers how early they bloom.) Everyone has their own season.

It's Chinese-style folk pop — guzheng, dizi flute, acoustic guitar. 5:28, best listened to alone and quiet.

When was the last time comparison made you anxious, and how did you get past it?

[MV] 寻声步 - 日子一起过 (Getting Through Days Together)

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm an independent musician based in Dallas. Here's another original song from my project — 日子一起过 ("Getting Through Days Together"), written as a dialogue between a husband and wife.

It's about what marriage really is: not never making mistakes, not one person carrying everything. Praise the good, fix the mistakes quickly; solve money problems with money — and for what money can't fix (aging, illness, emotions, habits), just be there for each other.

The whole song comes down to one line: 能解决的,就解决;解决不了的,就陪着。("Solve what you can; for what you can't, just be there.")

3:30. Curious what you think — does "for what you can't solve, just be there" ring true to you?

[MV] 寻声步 - 你醒着吗?(Are You Awake?)

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm an independent musician based in Dallas. Just released an original Mandarin rock song — 你醒着吗? ("Are You Awake?"). The music is AI-generated, lyrics and concept are my own.

大家好,我是寻声步。昨天刚发布了一首原创中文摇滚《你醒着吗?》,音乐是 AI 生成的,词和概念是我的。

这首歌讲的是现代生活的"自动驾驶":闹钟响三遍、消息堆成山,周一眨眼就到了周五,却想不起周三晚上的天是什么颜色。每天都在赶路,可心里要去哪里?

副歌的答案很简单:想去就去,哪怕一个人;定了方向,路上自然会遇到同行的人。

4 分钟,MV 也是 AI 辅助做的。想听听大家的感受:不看歌词的话,情绪传达到了吗?

Went to see a live concert a couple of years ago and loved this Guzheng and Dizi duet, and can't remember the name of it, but I've got a few videos that I took of the performance. If anyone could tell me the name, that'd be great!

Western rap fused with Chinese instrumentation

2 Upvotes

Just wanted to start by saying, I have asked the mods if I may post this and they have no issue with it, so here I go.

In early 2024, AI music was just starting to enter online consciousness. At the same time, I started considering that in a few years I would have to assist my daughter with her GCSEs. Then, as occasionally happens to everyone, I woke up one morning with an idea - an entire philosophy even - fully formed in my head:

  1. The memorisation of facts had been unfairly maligned ("donkeys carrying books"). We need a base level of facts present in our minds, if we are to progress beyond
  2. AI will hamper memorisation more than any other technology in human history, and so we are headed for an educational emergency the world over
  3. But, a person never forgets a good song so if scientific data could be encoded in such a way, the words would be retained an entire lifetime
  4. Were a teacher to then come and explain those words, there would be a permanent melding of memory and understanding
  5. With sufficient complexity and widespread adoption, such songs could supercharge learning and negate the effect of AI on our ability and willingness to memorise scientific truths
  6. They might be especially useful to the neurodiverse, who don't respond well to classroom textbook learning

Our education systems are set up to teach to the test. We memorise for them because we must, and a few weeks afterwards everything is forgotten. Few learn for the love of learning, which is regrettable because the universe is a very interesting place indeed. This project is intended to break that pattern. Unfortunately, the AI of the time and even that of today is unfit for writing science songs, as not enough of them exist in its training data, and those that do are rather basic. I therefore quickly shifted from asking AI to generate lyrics and then fixing them, to creating them myself and merely using AI as a 24/7 science consultant.

Suno has been my tool of choice. Despite its flaws, it is the best model available and, finally, here are the results - an entire GCSE course, in the form of song:

Earth Science - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeBZw_3llS8Q

Hope you enjoy! And if you find some educational value in those and wish to explore further, I also have entire courses for the other science subjects, but in different musical genres:

Biology - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLN7rNg-e2fzc
Chemistry - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLjt_fy7YsOU

A piano cover of a nostalgic Chinese song — 《把悲伤留给自己》

I've been exploring some older Chinese songs and recently made a piano cover of 《把悲伤留给自己》 by 陈升.

There's something about older Chinese songs that feels very different when played on piano — especially late at night.

I tried to keep the arrangement emotional and relatively simple, rather than making it overly dramatic.

For anyone interested in nostalgic Chinese music:

Stumbled onto this on Sugarmusic (they’ve got a surprising amount of Chinese music) and now it’s stuck in my head lol.

刘思鉴 ft. 后弦, off his 2026 album. Retro-ish production, super catchy, Houxian’s voice carries it hard. Feels way too underrated.

Can anyone identify this Chinese rock song? Live in Beijing!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey everyone!
I heard this song last night (Sept. 12) at a live music club in Beijing, played by a cover band, and I’m trying to figure out what it is.
I don’t know the name of the band or the song, and I don’t speak Chinese, so I couldn’t make out the lyrics. I was told by a friendly local it’s a fairly well-known Chinese rock/pop-rock classic.

Does anyone recognize it? Would love to know the song title, the original artist and the cover band!
Also, I’m really curious about the lyrics — what is the song actually about? Does anyone know why people on stage are waving flags during the song? You can see it in the video. Is there some particular meaning or tradition behind it?

Thanks!

Ps. Beijing, thank you so much for having us. Love your energy and the welcoming local people! Amazing city

Need help salvaging a set of Chinese songs from my memory fragments please

1 Upvotes

Disclaimer: these brief and partial melodys were salvaged - parts and pieces that weren't destroyed in the fire. Therefore, my memory is fuzzy trying to reconstruct these.

I’ve got these melody fragments stuck in my head from when I was a kid (early 2000s or earlier?), but my memory is fuzzy and I could only salvage part of these songs in terms of partial lyrics or tune sequences or both. I recreated what I could recall using Online Sequencer. If you can help, I would much appreciate it. I can also assist with what I can recall in terms of language and partial lyrics. If you need reference to the era, refer to the songs Too Softhearted by Ritchie Jen and Our Intimate Relationship by Sammi Cheng. My song list doesn’t go any further than the end of 2005. And an extra note of precaution: sometimes these songs use words in at least two different languages. E.G, PreCure the anime sometimes uses Spanish words like “Seniorita” and DECO*27’s Telepathy uses “まじでSTOP 脈ナシハラスメント” = “Seriously, STOP. No chance HARSSMENT.”

Here's what I netted so far in terms of tips from assistance elsewhere (I have to be proactive and use time effectively):

Song 1: (most likely) Mandarin

onlinesequencer.net/5211713

BPMs: 70BPM

Vocalist(s) gender: Female

Words/lyrics recalled: wo sha fay

Additional notes: N/A

Song 2 (SOLVED): (Mandarin or Cantonese)

onlinesequencer.net/4679585

BPMs: 87BPM

Vocalist(s) gender: Male

Words/lyrics recalled: N/A

Additional notes: N/A

Title: 戰場上的快樂聖誕 (Wartime Merry Christmas) Artist: Aaron Kwok 郭富城

Song 3: (Mandarin)

onlinesequencer.net/5211717

BPMs: 87BPM

Vocalist(s) gender: Male or a really dark-sounding Female

Words/lyrics recalled: wo jin nay/fay

Additional notes: You know Roz from Monsters Inc? Although it sounds female, she's actually voiced by a MALE! And in many animes and some west cartoons, the males are voiced by a female. That's what I'm referring to.

Song 4 (SOLVED): (Mandarin)

onlinesequencer.net/5212111

BPMs: N/A

Vocalist(s) gender: Male

Words/lyrics recalled: N/A

Additional notes: most likely a hip-hop themed song. I'm no music expert, but this is my best guess on the song's genre.

Title: 舊約 Artist: Leon Lai 黎明

Song 5: (Cantonese)

onlinesequencer.net/5212189

BPMs: 87BPM

Vocalist(s) gender: Female

Words/lyrics recalled: a dark female "yeah" at the end of the song

Additional notes: a squeaky toy us used throughout half the song.

Song 6 (SOLVED): (Cantonese)

onlinesequencer.net/5213593

BPMs: 87BPM

Vocalist(s) gender: Female

Words/lyrics recalled: N/A

Additional notes: near the end of the song, the chorus raises a semi tone. Use Crystal Snow by Aqu3ra as a reference on semi tone raise (it raises pitch at 2:57)

Title: 捨不得你 (Can't Let You Go / Shed Not You) Artist: Sammi Cheng 鄭秀文

Song 7: (Mandarin)

onlinesequencer.net/5213736

BPMs: 70BPM

Vocalist(s) gender: Female

Words/lyrics recalled: N/A

Additional notes: N/A

Song 8: (Mandarin)

onlinesequencer.net/5213927

BPMs: 55BPM

Vocalist(s) gender: Female

Words/lyrics recalled: N/A

Additional notes: N/A

Song 9 (SOLVED): (Cantonese)

onlinesequencer.net/5214009

BPMs: 90BPM

Vocalist(s) gender: Male

Words/lyrics recalled: COME ON!!!!! GENERATION INC.!

Artist: Aaron Kwok 郭富城 Song: 唱這歌 (Sing This Song)

Song 10: (Cantonese)

onlinesequencer.net/5214021

BPMs: 80BPM

Vocalist(s) gender: Male

Words/lyrics recalled: N/A

Additional notes: N/A

Ring me back ASAP when you get something; time is money.

Kind regards.

P.S, 80s and 90s ONLY (This is the GOLDEN ERA) - it doesn't go any further than the end of 2005.
