Well Kids, it is in the can. My NEW SONG. It has yet to find a name actually. It does have a name but Duncan is complaining it is not very good "EE TOW" and may have people misunderstanding the meaning. I just finished the mixing the other day and they said they will put it out on MONDAY to the DJ's, which is shocking to me too,cos you know, I would like to take my time, but well, if you are all interested, you go ahead and tell me what you think of it. Once you have sang a song so many times and it is just swimming around my head, its hard to know if its nice or not nice, so you will all have to JUDGE it for me. AGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! The time of TRUTH.
This is one of the hardest songs I have ever sung because it has 14 octaves. It goes from the lowest I can go, to the highest I can go. When I first got into the studio, I thought I was going to CHOKE literally. I really regretted choosing this song and I really regretted Eric Kwok giving it to me finally.

Alvin Leung gave me many songs to choose from and I chose 2 from Eric Kwok after 2 weeks of deliberation (takes me awhile to decide). The songs sounded very easy to sing with Eric singing La la on the Demo. BUT, when we went to tell Eric, he had accidently thought we didn't want it and gave it to someone else!!!! We were in a rush for Po leung so I said they HAVE to get it for me, and MUST get me the one he himself titled 1968. We were lucky, cos that producer already recorded the other one so we crossed our finger on the one we really wanted. So they pleaded and pushed and begged and Eric Finally got it back from the other producer (giving him another song in replacement). He talked to me on the phone and asked me the Key and promptly told me that it will be the hardest song I ever sing because 1. It is written for male singer, (which i cannot believe) 2. It has 14 Octaves making it impossible for a Female to grasp it at all. The highest key is an E flat which he says no singer can sing that high in HKG. I was quite confident because I know I can sing that high, but just barely. When I heard this I got a lump in my throat but there was no choice anymore cos I wouldn't have been able to make it in time for Po Leung and try to remember the lyrics too. SOOOO, we recorded it and when I first sang it I thought I must be RUSTY having not sang so long and there was an hour of DREAD trying to open up my voice. Sigh..... now its finished in its entirety and Eric did a great job with Arrangement which in the mixing I took the priority to push up the instruments that I liked best. Hee hee.. I got all the people on this song that are very talented and that I like most so I am finally happy with the results. It was the best we could do. I hope you will be too!

PS Eric asked me what was the hardest song to sing, and it wasn't this one it was Nuey Yun Dik Yuek Deem which took 3 days and nights to get right, and all the songs I sang that I hated!
