Red Room Tunes
 

Merging Home Recording and Music Sharing

My good friend ("ge men") in Taipei, Major, teaches English to college-age young adults. When we were discussing the RedRoom, we agreed that it would be a fine experience for these bright young people to collaborate with us on a song. The class was divided into several groups and each one submitted one line of a song. Some submitted a few sentences, some a few words. All of them were very thoughtful. It has absolutely been a rewarding experience for me; I have heard about some of the people's lives. Most intriguing have been the young lady who performs "fireball dancing" and the emails titled: Here Comes Magic Girl!

Major selected the Theme "Love Letter". The ideas and (most of) the words are from the students.

For the ladies and gentlemen in the Magic Girl group, thank you for your excellent ideas, words and kind thoughts...

Love Letter to Magic Girl

I just love you, but I couldn’t find the words to say

So I asked my Magic Girl in Taipei

What is it like to receive a love letter?

What will touch your heart most easily?

These are the words I heard:

 

It was unforgettable the first time I met you

You looked at me: that's all you had to do

Every breath you draw is fragrant...yours: attractive eyes

And with you beside me, where I go will be a paradise

 

From the moment I met you, I knew, you'd be mine

You touched my hand and this was to be our time

The first time I held you, I knew, you are the love of my life

You are the reason I'm alive and I will walk a thousand miles

 

I don't ever want lose this feeling and never spend a night apart

Liking someone is a joy, but love can break your heart

I will promise you my all and give you what you need

But if time goes on and if you don’t love me anymore, take one dance with me

 

As the wind passes me by, on my face a gentle breeze

Still by my side—you’ll never leave

Nothing's going to change my love for you

For I've finally found someone, someone to love

Original Words from Magic Girl

It's unforgetable moment for the first time I met you.  What a pair of attrative eyes.
You looked at me that's all you had to do
I love you, even dung which you drew feels fragrant
“With you beside me , anywhere I go will be a paradise

From the moment I met you I just knew you'd be mine.  You touched my hand. 

And I knew that this was gonna be our time.  

The first time  I held you  I knew, you are the love of my life  You are the reason I'm alive
I walk thousand miles just to be with you.

I don't ever wanna lose this feeling.  I don't wanna spend a moment apart.
Liking someone will not be painful,but loving someone will suffer a continuing pain.
I will promise you my heart and give you what you need 

If it take some time and if you tell me you don’t live me anymore that our love won’t last forever
I love you so much, please leave the last dance for me 

As the wind pass me by, I can feel you. Gentally, the bleeze touching my face, just like you. On my side, never leave.
Just love you
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
I finally found someone
