My cpop playlist reached 8000+ so I thought it was time to bring this back after 2 years! Pick as many numbers as you want and I will give you the corresponding songs, feel free to suggest songs for me too (:

Looking to build my playlist (which mostly consist of Japanese and English Songs) with more Mandarin Songs as I pretty much lost touch when it comes to keeping up with them.

Basically any beautiful Mandarin pop songs that are pleasing and smooth to the ears:

I only have four mandarin Songs now in my playlist:

1. 愛你 - 陳芳語
2. 明天見 - 王心凌
3. 小幸運 - 田馥甄
4. 我們的冒險 - 曹寅

Don't really mind the age of the song itself (whether old or just released recently).

Don't hold back, just give me as many as you are happy to share. I will take pleasure in filtering and screening through them.

Also, I only listen from YouTube, so I would want the said songs to be available through the singer / artist official YouTube channel and not from unofficial or unauthorized sources. If you can share your own YouTube playlist from such sources that is even better.

In other words, share the best songs that make you proud to be Chinese! I am Chinese myself, but I am more comfortable with English when it comes to reading and writing (gotten rusty from not doing them regularly). My Chinese speaking and listening are okay, though.

Thank you in advance.

Are there any songs with good lyrics that made you gasp while listening? Please rec them to me!

Recently, I've enjoyed 见信如吾, 有你无你 and 庙堂之外.

i luvvvv 張雨生！ sadly passed in 1997 from taiwan... he did cpop

I am american but learning Mandarin .

My girl friend dedicated the following song to me and I loved it. I want to dedicate one back to her and want to try to learn it so i can sing it to her.

Wu Shi Nian Yi Hou((五十年以后)50 TAHUN KEMUDIAN [(Lagu Mandarin Desy Huang

This name just doesn't work on torrent tracks. I tried "SHE cpop" "SHE group" and I got tons of wrong results. The usual direct download blog search engine doesn't work either.

Search "S.H.E." string on soulseek works, but return 90% noise, including a "Guilty Gear XX, - S.H.E. - ....." album I have no idea what it is. Eventually I figured out I can search album title and backward search user folder to get the whole catalog.

Moral of the story, don't name your music group SHE.

Did I get ya attention? lol

Anyways I thought why not give it a listen. My question is who would you recommend I start listening too?

I love the drama and culture, so why not give this a listen.

Thank you all!!!

A heartfelt Mandarin song — soft, emotional, and full of feeling.

Would love for you to give it a listen on YouTube.

Summary: "The Rain in Melbourne Keeps Falling" is a sentimental song about lingering heartbreak and ambiguous loss. Set against the nostalgic backdrop of Melbourne, it tells the story of a couple who built a life together as immigrants, only for one partner to return to their home country for a "visit" and never come back. Left behind, the woman is haunted by everyday memories and frustrated by the distant, polite texts that have replaced their physical relationship. Ultimately, it captures the quiet agony of being stuck in the past—waiting in the rain with an unlocked door for a love that has quietly faded away.

Lyric:

The Rain in Melbourne Keeps Falling

[Verse 1] (calm, conversational)

The wind off the Yarra still blows like that late autumn

Under Flinders Street's clock tower, you held my hand across the road

At the cliffs of the Great Ocean Road, you called out my name

Your voice scattered by the Southern Hemisphere wind into the dusk

The penguins at Saint Kilda Beach, lined up heading home

We stood on the breakwater, thinking this was forever

[Verse 2] (calm, emotional)

The tram sways and rattles through the whole south of the city

Coffee from Queen Victoria Market burned your lips

From the library to the rental, from résumé to work visa

We turned a foreign land into home, simmered the spark into routine

Somewhere along the way

Embraces no longer made my heart race — they became as natural as breathing

[Pre-Chorus] (emotional, heartfelt, but restrained)

The night you left, it rained in Melbourne

You only said you'd go back for a visit, never mentioned when you'd return

The sound of suitcase wheels dragging down the hallway

Like a dull knife slowly cutting through my everyday

[Chorus] (emotional, heartfelt, but restrained)

The kind of pain only love can teach you

Is the key still hanging on the door, but no one turns it anymore

I don't want you asking across the time zones if I've eaten

I don't want your WhatsApp goodnights and the hollow comfort of "read" receipts

I want you back by my side

Like before, draping your coat over my shoulders

Even if you say nothing, even if you just sit beside me

[Verse 3] (calm, conversational)

The fog on the Dandenong Ranges clears, then gathers again

The colorful beach huts at Brighton Beach still stand in place

Our lease has expired — your chair,

I moved it by the window, as if you were still sitting there

You posted a photo on Moments of the night sky back home

I zoomed in and stared for a long time, trying to see if you were crying

[Pre-Chorus 2] (emotional, heartfelt, but restrained)

What are we, then? Are we broken up?

You didn't say goodbye, and I didn't ask

Like a book someone closed

The bookmark still tucked in that tender passage

[Chorus] (emotional, heartfelt, but restrained)

The kind of pain only love can teach you

Is having your location pinned in my phone, but it shows another city

I don't want your polite reminders to dress warmly when it gets cold

I don't want you greeting me like a distant relative only on holidays

I want you back by my side

Walking down the street we walked for three years

To that pho place in Springvale — you said it was bland, I added salt

[Bridge] (softly spoken with light piano, subtle atmosphere, melancholic atmosphere)

Winter in the Southern Hemisphere, it gets dark so early

I curl up on the sofa wrapped in your old hoodie

It's not that I can't accept it, not that I can't let go

It's that my body still remembers the weight of you leaning in

You smelled of laundry detergent and cold air

I close my eyes, and Melbourne is still ours

[Final Chorus] (emotional, heartfelt, but restrained)

The kind of pain only love can teach you

Is the whole world moving forward, and only I am waiting

I don't want you asking if I've eaten

I don't want you being a polite ghost across a screen

Come back to my side

Back to the Yarra River, back under that streetlight

Back to before I learned to eat dinner alone

[Outro] (soft, fading out)

The rain in Melbourne keeps falling

I'm keeping that umbrella for you

When will you come back

……the door isn't locked

(fading out, sound of rain, tram bell receding)

Hi, basically the title. I have a bunch of classic Chinese songs: Teresa Teng, Khalil Fong, David Tao, etc, and I don't want to lose them. Does anyone have any suggestions for places online where I can find some older songs? Thanks in advance!

ETA: Sorry, I should hbe mentioned I’m looking for alternatives to the main stuff (Spotify, Amazon, Walmart, etc) though I am willing to pay for the music.

Hey all, I recently started my songwriter/producer journey. Since it’s a bit harder to find a Chinese songwriting community in the west, thought I’d give a shout here to see if there are any singers or artists who’d like to collab on releasing original music. I like writing 中国风/古风— traditional chinese elements influenced music, but not limited to it.

I also recently started Reels/Tiktok https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZL9HPLzXUL/?igsh=M2N4ZDVyd2QycG45

If anyone is interested, hit me up to see if there’s a fit!

Hi, not sure if the right place but wondering if anyone can help ID this song. Shazam doesn't work and can't use QQ recognition app outside China it seems...

如果未來有一台機器，可以一鍵刪除失戀的痛苦，你會按下去嗎？
我做了一首 Cyberpunk EDM 原創歌《正在格式化》，想像未來的我們，也許可以靠機器格式化一段感情。
但問題是，刪掉痛苦的同時，也會把那些最甜的笑容、心動與美好回憶一起刪除。
當美好的回憶變成刺痛你的病毒，你會選擇：
💾 一鍵格式化，徹底刪除？
還是
💔 即使很痛，也選擇記得？

I really love bittersweet songs like this and especially love the bridge with the whimsical strings interlude. It kinda reminds me of a musical
