I’m not a very good blogger.
I don’t seem to talk very much on my blog, don’t update blog often enough and don’t seem to reveal very much of myself thru my blog entries.
The truth is I can be a very private person and there is always just too much going on in my mind to be put on the blog. The activity in my head is like a Virginia Woolf novel where a day’s event can be elaborated into a full-length novel.

但是我今天想和你們分享一些我的心情轉折 Today I want to share with you what’s going on in the mind of a struggling artist. :p

Although it may have seemed like I have chosen to pursue singing, dropping everything else i had going for me.
或許看起來åƒæ˜¯æˆ‘拋棄了其他更有å¯èƒ½æ€§çš„é¸æ“‡ï¼Œå›ºåŸ·çš„é¸æ“‡äº†è¡¨æ¼”。
But the truth is I have known all along that I am here for no other reason but to sing my heart out.
但是在我內心深處,我始終明白我生來就是為了è¦å”±æ­Œã€‚
the longing to sing has always been there. I was just too afraid to admit it.
唱歌的慾望始終在那裡,我åªæ˜¯å®³æ€•åŽ»æ‰¿èªã€‚
afraid of failure, afraid of not making it. Afraid of mediocrity. afraid that the audience is not going to like me and what I have to offer.
害怕失敗ã€å®³æ€•ç„¡æ³•æˆåŠŸã€å®³æ€•è‡ªå·±åªèƒ½æœ‰å¹³åº¸çš„表ç¾ã€å®³æ€•è§€çœ¾ä¸æœƒå–œæ­¡æˆ‘
But God has made the path clear to me.
但是很奇妙的,神似乎讓唱歌的é“路清楚的在我眼å‰æµ®ç¾ã€‚
when I decided to pursue singing, doors were opened for me. Joy and confidence came into my life.
我決定é¸æ“‡å”±æ­Œä¹‹å¾Œï¼Œæ©Ÿæœƒä¹‹é–€ç‚ºæˆ‘打開。喜悅和信心也隨之出ç¾ã€‚
It it not to say there haven’t been difficulties and moments of self-doubts.
這並ä¸æ˜¯èªªæˆ‘這一路上沒有經歷困難或是自我懷疑的時刻(相信我,幾乎æ¯éš”一個月,我就會陷入自我懷疑的無底深淵–我真的能唱歌嗎?我真的é©åˆå—Žï¼Ÿæˆ‘想è¦ä¸€ç›´å”±åˆ°æˆ‘是è€å©†å©†ï¼Œä½†æ˜¯æˆ‘真的åšå¾—到嗎?)
but I am proud to say that I have found my 『calling〠and I would like to encourage you to find yours as well.
但是至少ç¾åœ¨æˆ‘å¯ä»¥é©•å‚²çš„說,我已經找到我這一生的使命,而且我也鼓勵電腦å‰çš„你們去發ç¾å±¬æ–¼ä½ çš„使命。

我或許已經說éŽè¨±å¤šæ¬¡ï¼Œä½†æœ‹å‹çš„支æŒï¼ŒçœŸçš„是我繼續努力的動力。
的確當一個ç¨ç«‹æ­Œæ‰‹æœƒæœ‰å¾ˆå¤šå°è¾›é…¸ï¼Œæ²’有é å±±ï¼Œæ‰€æœ‰çš„事情都得自己來,但是我有很多朋å‹çš„愛,很多天使在我身邊(you’re my everyday angles!)

為了我身æ—的天使們,我寫了一首歌,附上最原始的demo(是我隨便用簡易的麥克風錄好,å†äº¤çµ¦ç·¨æ›²å¦è¡Œåˆæˆï¼ŒéŸ³å’Œè©žæœ‰é»žå”±éŒ¯ï¼Œç·¨æ›²ä¹Ÿéƒ½ä¸æ˜¯çœŸçš„樂器,è½èµ·ä¾†æˆ–許ä¸ç›¡å®Œç¾Žï¼Œä½†å¸Œæœ›å¤§å®¶å¯ä»¥å¾žé€™æ¨£çš„è²éŸ³æ•ˆæžœè£¡æƒ³åƒæˆ‘å在我的å°macbookå‰ï¼Œä¸€æ‰‹æ‹¿éº¥å…‹é¢¨ï¼Œå˜´è£¡å”±è‘—ä»æœªå®Œå…¨æˆåž‹çš„歌曲,一手用ä¸ç´”熟的手法æ“作garageband的模樣。)

This is one of the very first songs I wrote. I hope you will like it even though it is just a very rough demo. Through this demo, perhaps you can somehow imagine me sitting in front of my macbook, trying to operate Garageband while still figuring out how to organize the notes and lyrics in the song…


Ying-yings Demos

You Are My…
Lyrics/Music by Ying-ying Shih
Arrangement by Jay Cheng

You’ve given me life, and unconditional love
You rid me from want and worries; You are my parents

You taught me respect, you taught me virtues
You taught me about faith. You are my mentor

You make me proud, just like I am your pride
You’ll never forsake me, you are my friend

You gave me a future, strong shoulders to lean on
You never let me down, you are my lover

You’ve given me light. You’ve given me strength
You are my saving grace. You are my lord.

Every day Every day Every day you are with me
You give me the reason to trust in myself
Every one everyone every one of you
I give you thanks
For you are my love
You are my hope
You are my everything
You are my angel

The album 『Someone Is Praying for You〠came from my mom’s prayers. She had hoped that one day I would use my God-given voice to sing some of her favorite hymns/praise songs of all time.

She wrote the following message to share with all of you:

workshop with NTU students

昨天晚上到å°å¤§æˆ²åŠ‡ç³»åŽ»è·Ÿå­¸å¼Ÿå¦¹åšäº†ä¸€å€‹workshop,這是我第一次正å¼æŠŠæˆ‘唱歌的心得跟別人分享。戲劇系的學弟妹們今天è¦åšå‰µç³»å年的音樂劇木蘭少女,還是音樂界新手的我也因此有了這個機會跟他們分享我「宅ã€åœ¨å”±æ­Œå¤šå¹´ä¾†çš„領悟。
Last night I had the privilege to go to the Department of Theater and Drama at NTU to share with the students there my singing experiences.

我最開心的時刻就是看到學弟妹們因為我給他們的建議,而能唱出ä¸åŒçš„音色。
I feel happiest when hearing the students being able to sing differently and better following my suggestions. It really worked!

åªæ˜¯ä¸‰å€‹å°æ™‚çš„workshopéŽå¾Œï¼Œä¸çŸ¥é“學弟妹們能記ä½å¤šå°‘,因為改變習慣這檔事真的需è¦å¾ˆå¤šå¾ˆå¤šçš„æ醒,而很多的唱歌上的觀念需è¦æ™‚間沈澱æ‰èƒ½çœŸæ­£äº†è§£ï¼Œåªå¸Œæœ›æˆ‘的苦å£å©†å¿ƒç¢Žç¢Žå¿µè‡³å°‘能å°å­¸å¼Ÿå¦¹æœ‰äº›è¨±å¹«åŠ©ã€‚如果你們希望繼續討論唱歌,歡迎在這裡留言ï¼
I am not sure how much they can remember after the three-hour workshop ’cause I did feel like I was trying to fit too much into three hours. and a lot of those concepts take time to truly sink in. anyway, if any of you from last night saw this post, feel free to leave me a message to discuss more about singing!

唱歌這件事,當然需è¦é å¤©ä»½ï¼Œä½†å¦‚果想çªç ´ï¼Œå°±éœ€è¦é è¨±å¤šçš„練習。我自己ä»èˆŠä¸æ–·åŠªåŠ›ä¸­ï¼Œæˆ–許這一輩å­ä¹Ÿéƒ½ä¸æœƒæœ‰å®Œç¾Žçš„時刻,但在感覺到自己的進步時,it’s the most rewarding feeling in the worldï¼
