For J.L. and all of us who are heartbroken.
Kinnie Starr — Alright
Madeleine Peyroux — I’m Alright
The Killers — Everything Will Be Alright
Komeda — It’s Alright Baby
Wu Yue Tian (Mayday) — Hao bu hao
The last one should really be entitled “ho ya um ho” because it’s a nice Hokkien/Taiwanese ballad by the Taiwanese band, Mayday. Really. I swear. I love it, especially the Hokkien lyrics! Makes you change your mind about Hokkien being unable to be poetic and romantic. _um zai si tio ya si um tio, um zai si ho ya si um ho… wa yi sim wei yi eh yi mong wei ko li kuai lo, ho ya um ho._ How poetic is that?
Um. The rest are really good too, especially Kinnie Starr and Madeleine Peyroux (who is totally fab and I’m in love with her).
We’ll be alright.
