Pitching From The Heart

2012-01-24T12:35:00.001-05:00

This is me, enjoying my music at "The Dunk." The problem with approaching Week 2 is that the concept of building the perfect pitch is so business oriented, hence far removed from the happy place in my heart where my creative spirit resides. I can craft pitches for projects and plans that have nothing to do with me. But to carve out time to treat myself like a business...well that's a new

The Challenge Begins...Moving Forward After Temporary Derailment

This train captures how I felt towards the end of last year! Photo by: Cian Ginty Life gets in the way...and it's okay if the curve balls you are thrown derail you from your desired path. I do believe that with each unplanned tangent, there are always things we can learn and grow from, that will help us when we have time and space to return to the charted path. This is what I must believe

Pursuing the elusive "hit song,"...or not...

2011-06-07T20:26:00.002-04:00

We've all heard the phrase, "it's the journey, not the destination that counts." At the same time we live in a society that worships glorified destinations. Hollywood and the world of sports, epitomize the golden crown so many wish to achieve. For those without artistic or athletic dreams, the values instilled by media affect how we view ourselves, our bodies and deeply affect how we choose to

The journey begins...again...

2011-04-01T18:02:00.000-04:00

This picture is how I feel right now...like an open suitcase, disheveled inside, waiting to be transported. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. There is a rawness and humility that comes when you choose to walk the path unknown. I have some ideas and inklings as to how to proceed, but no concrete path...yet... The whole blogging/tweeting/status updating life has not been a priority for me

Mama's Got a New Toy

2007-08-30T09:45:00.001-04:00

For the past few months my mom has been reluctant to leave the house because of fatigue and not being able to move independently. More recently, my mom's highlight each week was going to Walmart where scooters (personal mobility devices) are provided for shoppers. She would zip around the aisles and often disappear. I once had to walk around a Super Walmart almost 3 times in order to find my

What am I doing in all these crazy outfits and why is there someething glued to my face? For the past few months I was in rehearsal to be in a musical that was performed at the end of December at Sun Yet-sen Memorial Hall. The name of the play was Song of Love and it was the story of Madame Chang-Kei Shek set to music. http://meiling.allmusic-mag.net/What an adventure! At first I was very

一個藍天的下午 An afternoon under the blue sky

2006-10-31T07:39:00.000-05:00

我上週有機會和朋友去國父紀念館寫歌。天氣很奇怪，有大太陽但同時有一陣一陣的毛毛雨而有一個角落有烏雲Last week I had the time to sit down for an afternoon with a friend and write some songs at Sun Yet Sun Memorial Hall. The weather was very strange. Mostly it was sunny with sudden spurts of rain and a cloudy corner in the sky.我通常都是一個人在家或在練團室寫歌。難得走出去。坐在外面讓我感覺好像時間便慢了特別是我們沒有很明確的目標。很輕鬆。I usually write music alone in my room or in the band

武陵農場的好心情

2006-10-05T01:21:00.000-04:00

我這幾天很開心可以到美麗的武陵農場. 我每天可以看到美麗的山, 水, 樹, 及花. 更讓我開心的是每天晚上有機會和許多遊客分享我的音樂, 夢想故事, 和我的心. 認識了很多很可愛的阿媽和阿公. 我很喜歡他們純浦的心. 他們對我音樂和分享的反應也讓我很感動!昨天一個人走到魚池有機會看到一些正在逆遊的櫻花鉤吻鮭. 他們的努力鼓勵到我很多! 在走夢想的路總覺得好像必須跟社會的價值觀逆遊. 社會教我們要注重錢和成就甚過於夢想和愛. 但看到這些魚不斷的被水退下去而繼續前進就再一次提醒我,我選的這條路本來就是難走的. 同樣也會被大浪退下去,但我可以像那些魚繼續堅持. 它們知道必須克服這個難關才可以完成它們生命的使命. 這是我想學習的精神.有些觀眾問我如何可以保持他們看到的熱情和樂觀. 我說這不是我的本性而是我必須每天努力學習的. 這裡路邊有很多花. 早上時他們都向著太陽的方向, 很可愛.

It's been over 2 months since I last posted. During this time I spent 6 weeks in Canada with my dear family, went to Mexico for lots of gluttony and baking in the sun, participated in a songwriting workshop at Humber College, then came back to Taiwan, did a photoshoot for Palmolive (see my website www.lilyc.com), then took part in two military style workshops back to back, one on jazz singing

堅持夢想的路有的時候覺得很漫長，但收到大家的回應和鼓勵提醒了我堅持的價值不是建立在成不成功，而是在我們如此可以在過程中彼此分享和鼓勵。透過收到的留言和e-mail給我加了很寶貴的油!我透過這個經歷也找到一個新的信念讓我更有勇氣。在媒體中有許多"完美"的藝人。他們的存在很容易讓我們給自己錯誤的"完美"標準。所以我可以很不完美的分享堅持和學習進步的過程是一個很寶貴的機會! 希望你有被激勵到!Lily C

我快沒有臉了!

2006-05-25T06:24:00.000-04:00

我快沒有臉了! 上週再沒有任何心理或實際的準備下上了最近很紅的 “快樂星期天”…真的不快樂! 其實從來沒看過這個節目，只知道有人因為被批評的很慘而得到憂鬱症。我第一步就作了錯的決定就是選了一首台語歌 “望春風” 因為想可以用自己的方式唱…沒唱幾斷就因為咬子被喊停! 哇!站在那裡被挑剔是一件很不容易的事。好想找一個洞讓我可以脫離殘酷的陷阱。不過裁判還算對我還不錯，給了我兩次加分的機會…只是因為緊張及不充足的準備而對自己是非常的不滿! 在場的樂團很努力搭配我自己的歌但感覺和合弦讓我卡住，不過還是勇敢的完成了那個悲劇! 我想最讓我難過的是我知道我可以做的更好!這次的經歷讓我回想到第一次主持廣播也出了大搝! 我忘了關mic而尖叫了 “救命” 因為電腦出了我不熟悉的問題。那時候的主管就跑進studio不斷的揮手。我不懂為什麼他不立刻解決我的問題而跳那麼誇張的舞。

可以笑...好開心

2006-05-23T11:01:00.000-04:00

終於有可以笑的時間! 上個週末和老朋友聚會讓我脫離的了最近的黑雲。我笑到嘴巴都痠咯! 因該是因為很久沒有用笑的肌肉。 It felt really good!我們樂團還有三個表演我就要回加拿大看家人! 非常期待因為很珍惜可以在一起的時間! 希望大家不要等到家人生病才懂得珍惜! 要把握!最近很想寫一手開心可以跳舞的歌但寫不太出來。也許這次回家有開心的時間才會有靈感。以下是我為阿姨的追師禮拜寫的歌:Goodbye 不是永遠瀝瀝的雨滴喚醒所有的回憶沿著淚水到谷底，呼喊你的名劃破山裡的寂靜，等待你的回應神密的精靈飛翔夢中的森林聽到傷心的哭泣，帶來安慰的魔力在溪邊聽水的方言叫回所有的記憶Oh goodbye is not foreverGoodbye不是永遠想念經歷過的一切Goodbye 不是永遠Goodbye不是永遠，Goodbye只是今天捨不得要`失去妳，

A pleasant surprise 開心的驚喜

2006-04-20T03:24:00.000-04:00

終於找到一些力量面臨這一切而開時可以睡好一點. 我看一本書建議我們要選正面的比喻看待生命。生命是一場遊戲或戰爭? 杳選適合你的比喻。我最近再重一些花及香料就體會到生命像一個花園。我們必須努力但是天氣和太陽不在我們的掌握。農夫不會每天為他傻的種子失眠。他們會一天好好的努力而睡的好。我學習這種平安針對我的家人和我的夢想。我一步一步做我可以的。其他只能交給神。I've finally started sleeping better and am learning to ride the waves. I read that it is important to use positive metaphors to see our life. Is life a game or a war? Depends which metaphor works for

在長大中 Growing Up!

2006-04-17T05:01:00.000-04:00

長大就必須面對生老病死。面對死亡才會發現生命的美及重要性。我最近試著發現我阿姨的病所產生的禮物。我這幾個禮拜有許多與外婆和表妹有親密的時間及對話，甚過我來到台灣那麼多年。Growing up means to be at peace with living and dying…and when we face death we really learn the importance and beauty of life. These days I'm learning not to look negatively at my aunt's tragedy, but at the gift she has given us. I have had more heart to heart talks with my grandmother and cousin these past

What Happened Lately?...太多事!

2006-04-11T11:52:00.000-04:00

很久沒分享自己的心情…人再面對挑戰時不是很想坐下來體會心請避免兆成更多的難過。不過有一位很可愛的女生叫Mavis星期天有來河岸留言鼓勵我。她也提醒我blog快冷掉了。 What happened lately? 很難過的是我很寶貝的阿姨腦幹中風而現在在加護病房重度昏迷的狀態。我的心情是成重的。媽媽的病也還沒有一個明確的治療方向，每天只能不斷的為我愛的人禱告。我的時間分配在鼓勵和陪伴婆婆和表弟妹，照顧媽媽的心情，也錄了一些鼓勵的CD不斷的放給阿姨聽。有些人說沒希望了，但每次唱歌給她聽他的血壓就往上爬。幾個禮拜下來也不知道能盼望什麼。這個感覺很難形容。中風的前一天很開心的看到阿姨，兩天後只能和她睡覺的樣子互動。看到表弟妹的難過也再一次提醒我要把握機會珍惜和表達愛給身旁的人。你永遠不知到什麼時候就沒雞會。我的表弟很遺憾他從小時候就沒吻媽媽的臉…

2006-02-20T05:10:00.000-05:00

最近有個朋友問我發片之後有什麼樣的想法，我就發現這幾個月忙著誠品的巡迴加上回家那麼長的時間害我沒機會靜下來思拷這個問題。我很久沒留言的原因是我正在做今年的計畫及花一些時間聽內心的話。因為還有很多的未知心情友一些挑戰。不過目前大部分的時間都花在練唱，寫新歌及運動。發現從感恩節到聖誕節到新年加上回加拿大的享受，農曆年許多的搭餐和去高雄和台南的小吃...well當然胖了! 走路時就真加了蒟蒻擺動的感覺。坦白說看到體重就有一點小負面。不過當我想到每一口開心的時刻我就決定這一切都值得! 生命不是就是要享受這些嗎?A friend asked me the other day, how do I feel after releasing my first album?

想念廣播Missing Radio

2005-12-07T03:31:00.000-05:00

昨晚有榮幸上黃國倫的廣播節目。我很久以來就喜歡他寫的歌: "我願意" 但我以為是一個白頭髮的老爺爺寫的歌。沒想到他滿年輕而有搖滾的風格。但他也分享他閉關的一段日子才寫了這首歌。我總覺得好的創作都是痛苦釀出來的。很像女生要生孩子之前的痛。Last night I had the honor to be on 黃國倫's radio show. I have always enjoyed the song he wrote, "我願意" I was surprised to find out he was not an older man as I had expected. I assumed that someone who could write lyrics with such depth must have grey hair. However, Mr. Huang

忙碌的旋傳

2005-12-01T22:37:00.000-05:00

Life has been busy lately with radio interviews, magazine interview, school performance and I got to go to 真裡大學做歌唱比賽做裁判。生命很精采，but this busy schedule challenges me up 因為我是痕喜歡控制的任；所以忙的時候就會有疑種不安全感。我很開心有機會認識哪麼多人也很感動有這些人的鼓勵，不過一傘一傘的臉傘過去也讓我體會友一些比較深的關係的重要信，要不然每天忙碌很容易變成麻木。不過還是堅持去看我的可愛的外婆。她最近心跳的不舒服所以就和他禱告因為吃藥都沒有幫助。我就跟她說"妳好可憐" 我可以感覺他有被安慰到。參家學生的歌唱比賽讓我在一次去思考唱歌的本質。有的時候我們很注重音準及技巧，

感覺好胖!!!

2005-11-26T05:42:00.000-05:00

<----Not Model Thin誰說瘦才是美? 我昨天思考了這問題。為什麼? 因為認識了一對母女，媽媽說女兒怪他生她臉不夠瘦長。這個女生其實很美有很甜的笑容。更重要是她很有才華而一經出國練博士了。有的時候我也會卡在我的外在的條件開始不斷地批評自己的”缺點”。什麼事完美呢? 這個標準是誰定的? 真是讓我覺得好煩! 我同一天(也就是昨天)和一個非常瘦的女生照相，她就說 “Oh! 我的臉好大! 是方形的!” 聽到我的直覺的反應是 “那我呢?” 後來也覺得好莫名其妙，一個漂亮的女生看不到自己的美。我想這種對話在我們的生活圈不斷地再發生。我必須承認雖然我知道一個人的價值不應該來之她的外表，但我也會有負面的聲音困擾我。為什麼是這樣? 因為每天我們都被媒體的標準轟炸。我的專輯的封面上是一個沒有化妝的我…也沒有電腦修飾。我真希望我們可以被解放

昨天再新竹過了一個滿開心的時間。下午在誠品表演，晚上在Sogo的路邊表演，有街頭藝人的感覺。我們遇到的人都很親切及鼓勵包括誠品和Sogo的員工。我被一些願意分享自己的真心的觀眾特別鼓勵到。也因此發現可以用音樂讓大家團聚及互動和分享。因為中國人很含蓄而也有許多的傳統，有這樣的機會和時間很不容易，也很寶貴。Yesterday was a pleasant day in Hsinchu. I played at Eslite in the afternoon and on the sidewalk of Sogo in the evening. The people were receptive, friendly and encouraging. I was especially touched by some of the listeners who shared

Sadness

2005-11-18T11:40:00.000-05:00

There is this feeling of unease inside that I am having difficulty embracing...usually when I feel this way I just want to run, bike, eat, or do something...but actually I need to do nothing and learn to sit with the feeling...let it rise and recognize it as a part of me.It is not so easy to embrace sadness...What am I afraid of?

My uncle, his wife, cousin and her husband all came out to support me (you can see them in the second picture below). I tried to imagine my dad as a kid running around in the streets. Unfortunately didn't have the chance to eat at the night market.可以在基隆開始我的誠品的巡迴讓我很感動因為我爸爸是基隆人。我的親戚也來鼓勵我 (第二張照片)。

The art of being gratefulLast week I had to chance to partake in an art exhibition for ALS patients. It was both inspiring, but also frightening. Seeing people at different stages of this cruel illness really scared me…to know that my mother might one day walk down this path. It was more than I could bear hence I spent the entire afternoon trying to recover from a hopeless pain. On the other hand

台北大學校慶

2005-11-01T23:43:00.000-05:00

It was a fun albeit short gig at Taipei University yesterday. Everytime I practice or perform with my band I always feel so happy and grateful. 去年這個時候我還滿低潮因為那時候第一次很不順利的嚐試組樂團。心裡充滿恐懼和無力感。還好我沒放棄!三峽是一個很美很開闊的地方。那裡的學生很信服可以在那樣的環境讀書。不過有的時候我還是不是很習慣台灣人的保守。我在唱歌時很難感覺到大家的新是否被音樂touch到。但表演之後有及個熱情的學生來鼓勵我。我也被啦啦隊的活力鼓勵到。他們真會跳!

一個精采的禮拜

2005-10-30T11:18:00.000-05:00

過完了一個很豐富及累的禮拜我很開心的去回顧所發生的事。有的時候忙碌或優率會讓我們活的很沒深度或媒體會。當我有不安的感覺我會避面近下來去感受或回想。但今天晚上的我不得不想一想。當然發片是最難忘的一件事。好多的感激和感動。有太多人參與了我這條夢想的旅程。有夢想的人都會有信心軟弱的時候，而那些幫你打氣度過挑戰的人就算只是一次的互動或一句話都很重要。 No dream can be accomplished alone. 但是同時很多的時刻你也只能靠自己的勇氣和堅持度過難關。很像騎單車爬坡一樣: 有人在旁邊打氣會幫你真加力氣，但是沒有人可以幫你辛苦得流汗及接受生體的痠痛。 At the hardest moments, only you can decide whether or not to continue.特別感動是我的好朋友所準備的surprise，

Friday Night CD Release Party

2005-10-27T07:05:00.000-04:00

從單車環島到辦記者會就把自己累倒了，所以這幾天在迷糊的發燒\狀態休息。不過心理是很開心極感動因為記者會半的如此的溫馨。我的好朋友幫我準備了很棒的 surprise，就是我家人鼓勵的話。我一聽到我爸爸的聲音眼淚就立刻開始流。 I am lucky to have such a great family!再很忙和病的狀況下差一點忘記邀請大家來小客廳 Friday Night, 也就是明天 (10月28日, 10pm): www.livingroomtaipei.com我也會在那裡簽名呢。 Hope you can come and share this happy moment in my life!Love,Lily

快要發片的心得

2005-10-21T03:25:00.000-04:00

環島回來了幾天身體還是累和酸痛。不過心理很感激有那麼特別的機會及回憶。每次我想到那些受刑人的眼神，看到他們如何渴望愛，也感到我的歌聲和分享有給他們一些他們渴望的盼望，我就很開心我第一次的巡迴是如此的 special。不過回來還是要面對很多的現實，就是要正式發唱片。心裡有許多的感觸。一方面很開心因為這一天終於到了。我所堅持的，我所流的許多的眼淚都不是白費的。但是還是會害怕因為這些音樂的來源是我的心而，我要把他赤裸裸的獻給大家。雖然心裡知道一定會有很多不同的聲音和反應，我不知道我能不能承擔這一切。最現實的是經濟的考量。走獨立的路線我可以行銷的管道很有限，但是還是決定專心完成這個夢想而沒有接其他的工作。不過最近明白了一件事就是我是慢慢地建立我的夢想而不是被打出來或被捧出來。雖然這條路比較辛苦，但是總覺得比較踏實。假如有兩棟大樓在你面前，一個是很漂亮而是很快速的造出來的。

Bill Clinton's Wisdom

2005-10-19T03:07:00.000-04:00

I never thought very highly of Bill Clinton until I read the following quote from him...which left me inspired!"You can't be impatient when things don't go your way overnight, when it may take 10 years, or 20 or 30 or a lifetime to make a difference. The bigger your hopes and dreams, the larger your pain."You have to be able to live with pain, you have to be able to live with humiliation."And I

Thoughts on prison...Yesterday was my first time in prison. I was quite anxious before going in. I had no idea what the security would be like, I didn't know what the prisoners would be like, and was apprehensive about my performance.The jail warden and officers were friendly and going into the prison was less of an ordeal than I expected it to be. We had to leave our cell phones outside, then we

很難想像這個時候到了卻感覺很緊張。 Will I have a good message to share with the prisoners? Will people like my music? Will I be able to keep up with the riding team around the island? 很多的未知。 What I do know is that this is my dream and I want to share my heart, music and love with others! 很高興有這個機會。 Hope you can come out to Kaoshiung or Taichung...(希望有機會在高雄或台中見)!!!I want to share these pictures with you for
