David was guest @ Ynet for
online chat. He answered a lot of questions & they were great questions. Too long for me to translate but just a few things that he said that is relevant to english speaking fans. At the moment he is not considering releasing english album altho english is familiar to him. Since chinese is his mother tongue, he hope to make the best chinese music for the people who like his music in Asia. So at the moment he is not considering english album or even promoting his music in more countries.
This is why he is my idol, I just love him for remaining so strong & sincere in his objective in life. He did said while he is chasing this objective, it can be difficult and although sometimes he wants to give up, he has never given up. I respect his choice and although I really want to hear him sing in english but if he feels that doing an english album serve no purpose for him then I will accept it too.
He also said that they would probably release concert dvd but it will take at least another 4 to 5 months. As for album of singing songs he wrote for others, he said that its under consideration although some fans have told him they rather listen to more of his original works than old stuff *pout* but I wanna hear him sing Wind and sand, Thinking of my love, Kingston Man, and so many others. Its not fair, I can accept no english album but at least give us this. I mean its not that difficult to go into the studio and record 10 songs you have already wrote rite? *sigh* Why must my idol be one of the slowest producing musician on earth? heehee
He also said that he will sing Butterfly in Beijing & that the reason he called the song Butterfly is cos when people are down & depressed they become like caterpillars but when they are happy and in high spirits they become like butterflies but caterpillar & butterfly are the same thing. He said that not a lot of people understand the meaning he intended in The Art of War. Most people said the song is against war which is partly true lyrics wise. But apart from destruction of war & damage to the environment, he was also concerned that people especially chinese people are not very united. That why he used so many chinese instruments in the song.
Now I understand & the song is even more meaningful to me *thank you David* Yeah one of the longest, nicest online chat he had so far in China & no comparision at last. Think people are starting to get the idea that its no point asking him for he will not get angry or upset, he will just repeat the same thing, there is no comparision. Although I do wish they stop calling him 'r&b teacher', make him sound so ancient & grouchy. He is not r&b anything, he is just David Tao who makes music from the heart.
Also plse dun judge Love Can concert solely on the pixs of David in his 4 glittering outfits. I read moving accounts from fans who waited so long for his concert & they were not disappointed. Most of them cried esp during the singalong for I love you. Most of them felt the love that David is giving them & heard the msg of love that David wanted to convey to them. David said that he wanted his audience to leave their worries behind & for 2 & 3 hours be filled with joy, happiness & love, then go home & resume their lives. This may sound simple but actually its not that easy esp in today's stressful world to even have 1 hr of pure happiness. So this is David's gift to us when we attend his concert. Together with the thousands who enjoy his music, we will all be joyous & filled with love for a couple of hrs, we forget all our worries & immersed ourselves in his music which has the strength to nourish our souls. I think this is such a splendid idea for a concert to give to your audience the most precious gift of all - happiness.
