Interview summary:
It talked about Sandy’s third and fouth stage of her music career.
3. Maturity: 91-94 (Sandy said, “I wanted more breakthrough at that point, I gave myself so much pressure. I gave myself and other people a lot of hard times.”)
Sandy’s choice: A New Day (first track in Drifting) Sandy said, “The lyric is very deep, and I wasn’t mature enough to handle the song. In fact, the vocal range was rather wide, I had a really difficult time singing. I had to sing and mean every word in the song, it could be a disaster very easily. I recorded this song many times, and communicated with Chow Lai Mao many times too. I told him, it was so hard to sing, and he encouraged me before I could really finish the song.”
4. Blooming: 95-Present (Mainly sing in Mandarin, and learnt how the music production works in Taiwan, and had a few classics.)
Sandy’s choice: At Least I’ve You Sandy said, “I didn’t choose this song, when I first heard it from the demo. But Jim Lee ask me to re-consider. When the arrangement came out, I loved it so much, and during the recording section, I was shaking… and my tears nearly came out.”
5. Now – “It’s a new stage with lots of possibilities… very casual and easy with lots of comfort. I don’t have much pressure, because I have sung in so many styles already. I just want to sing with my heart now, and songs that can touch my audiences’ heart.”
6. Ten Years Later? “Ten-year is too far away, life is too unpredictable. I wouldn’t know what’s going to happen even just a month later. I would love the idea if I were still singing be then, or I else I would have changed my career already, doing something else.”
雷霆音樂派 10/29 Part 1 Interview
今天3:00pm，商業一台的《雷霆音樂派》播出第二部份的「音樂‧人‧對談」憶蓮訪問，談到音樂事業的第三、四階段。
3. 邁向成熟期: 91-94年 (憶蓮:「那時我希望在音樂上有更多突破，給自己壓力很大，有時對自己要求過高，令自己和身邊人都很辛苦。」) 憶蓮自選代表作:《破曉》–「歌詞意境很深，當時不夠成熟去handle這首歌，range很闊，唱得很辛苦，要配合歌詞意思，又不可以唱到「甩頭甩髻」，很容易唱得很狼狽，錄了很多很多次，跟周禮茂反覆通電話，我跟他說真的很難唱，經他鼓勵才錄好。」
4. 魅力盛放期: 95年至現在 (「以唱國語歌為主，學習到台灣的唱片製作方式，也唱過不少經典歌曲。」) 憶蓮自選代表作:《至少還有你》–「最初聽demo，對這首歌沒有感覺，亦沒有選上它，Jim Lee叫我再考慮，做完編曲出來，錄音時我才非常喜歡，手也抖震，有想哭的衝動。」
5. 現在 –「是一個重新有更多可能性的發展期，很淡然、安心、舒服地去唱歌的時期，我不有太多壓力，因為已做過很多不同風格的音樂，再去唱歌，只想真心去唱一些自己覺得好、感動別人的作品。
6. 十年後的憶蓮會是怎樣？「十年很遠，我不知自己會怎樣，生命無常，一個月後的事情，也未必知道。十年後，如果能夠繼續做音樂，我很開心很樂意，也有可能已經轉行，去做別的事情了。」
