About Me – Daphne Lam
Music is a big part of my life and always will be. I love listening to music to keep myself from boredom and stress. When I have a lot of homework to do for school, I normally turn up the volume and do my homework and listen to music at the same time. I love listening to pop songs, especially covers of songs. I love it because I get to become the audience of a YouTube singer, which makes the experience more personal. I think that the YouTube singers are experimenting with their own songs and different songs to see their own personal tastes. I find it very interesting to discover what sort of songs YouTube artists would sing, whether originals or covers.
The first song, by Megan Lee and another Korean artist, is called Oppa. I don’t really have a reason behind it, but I just like listening to Megan Lee and her Korean singing, although I’m not Korean and I can’t understand anything. The second song, Are You Happy Now? by Megan and Liz is very meaningful to me because it shows that we must not bully others. The music video is also something I would like to share, but you’d probably have to search it on YouTube… Best Friend, by Jason Chen, is about loving your best friend. Although that’s not the case for me, I just like listening to songs from China, too. There is an English version, but I decided to put up the Chinese version, because, well, I’m Chinese 😀 Made in America by Cimorelli is also another one of my favorite songs. I was stuck on this song for about a month during summer because I am an American, born in Florida. Although I don’t actually go big and celebrate Fourth of July, it just feels nice to listen to this song representing America. Apink is a Korean girl group and I really like their song NoNoNo. Although I can’t understand it, I love listening and watching the music video. Old School Love reminds me of the past ways people used to date. Now, dating is like going through text messages or just kissing in the hallways, but I really respect the “old school” ways of dating and how girls would have crushes and guys would be all cute and ask girls on dates 😀 Summer Forever, by Megan Nicole, is one of my favorite songs for the summer because, who doesn’t want summer to end? I love her music video and her voice. Jason Chen sings Thank You, which is important to me because I would like to thank everyone that’s been there for me… It really depicts what I would say to my family and best friends. I love Boyce Avenue’s cover with Fifth Harmony in When I Was Your Man. I really loved their collaboration and finally, we have Fifth Harmony singing Miss Movin’ On. I love the strong attitude of the five girls.
