Taipei

妳跳著舞緩緩的向我走來妳靠著我看著晚霞風吹來

晚上騎著車妳說要去看海想都不想的浪漫就放在夢裡

下了一整天午後雷陣雨的台北看周圍的人我決定放下傘

淋濕的我想起了妳的笑容而我漸漸哭了然後閉起我的雙眼

我好想和妳在月光下我好想跟妳坐在沙灘上

我好想妳躺在我身旁我好想手牽(著)妳的晚上

I'm the luckiest man in the world

Thanks to everyone who listens to my music this year! It's my pleasure to share my music with the world. Without you guys, I would not be able to feel complimented. Tbh, I really appreciate that you guys can relate to my music. They all are my true stories, like my diary, my life experience. I'm the luckiest man. I hope I can still make some music for myself and the worlds. Although I might be slow releasing them, I have another career now for my future. I will keep doing music because this is what i love and this is how I express my feelings. Hope you guys enjoy them when they come out. I wish you all the best and have a joyful next year.

I want to review some things i did this year. I had an amazing show in Taiwan earlier this year. I feel so much energy from the audience and so grateful that you guys are buying my cassette tape and T-shirt. I can't imagine, they will be sold out in a month. I made this website from scratch feel so good. Now I can write some posts and talk to you who are reading now! Moreover, It's so awesome that 42 people sign up for this website.I got a nice acoustic guitar this year and it helped me write a few songs. Can't wait to share with you guys soon once I finish the arrangement.

In August, I sang on a boat with my Acoustic Guitar on the Chicago River at my friend's wedding. It was super romantic, surrounded by amazing architecture and lovely people. I want to do it again! At another gig in Chicago, Nicole, Natasha and I played a show in a tea shop. It was a fun night, I finally could play a show with them and perform our songs to friends. After these two shows, I really enjoy playing shows, especially acoustic sets. When I hold my guitar, I feel so confident.

This year, I produced two songs with 9m88 and a remix with DSPS. It's my pleasure to work with talented people. I hope next year will be the same to and know more artists. In Oct, I went to LA to work with several musicians for a song. I said hi to many friends that I met in Chicago and finally met my guy kyle. He is the best! He added soluck me synth to the honey ginger tea. We also made several tracks in his place. Lovely trip :)

Lastly, besides music, I hope I become a better person or make some progress that being more mature. I can't wait to be on the next stage soon, super excited. I will probably stay in Chicago for one or two years or more for my first full time job. I am glad everything happened! I know I am not smart, not talented and not hard working enough, and I'm pretty sure I'm a lucky person. I hope I can keep working hard, be passionate and commit to everything that I decide to do. I wanna be a better person someday.

Thanks to the people who helped me and shared your time with me this year, I feel grateful to be friends or work partner with you. Sunset Music, Kuo, Mary, Joy, 凱元, C3LL, Kevin, Hung Li, Evan Wang, dropp, Nicole, Natasha, Leo, Danny, Kyle, Lucas, Matthew Yonemura, Matthew An, Summerlyn, Minh, Vincent, Evan, Noah, Reider, Kylie, 稔文, Marko, 9m88, Soina, Han Lee, conehead, bnf, QQ, Eddie, Ian, Alex, my friends and my family.

Please forgive me if I forgot you :) I'm the luckiest man in the world and I love this world so much!!

Best,

Layton Wu

夏夜晚風

我一直以來對夏夜晚風這首歌都抱持著這不是我的歌的想法，因為作詞作曲人是伍佰老師，並不是我自己創作，我只是翻唱或可以說是重新編曲，有時候會有點不想要唱這首歌或者希望其他歌也能受到一樣的關注。

但我今天發現了一件事，許多我很喜歡的音樂人，其實都有翻唱別人的歌，而且也是受到矚目的翻唱，像是 D’ Angelo - Feel Like Makin’ Love 是翻唱 Roberta Flack, Whitney Houston - Saving All My Love 是翻唱 Marilyn McCoo 和 Billy Davis Jr., Aaliyah - At Your Best (You Are Love) 是翻唱 The Isley Brother, Beyoncé, Luther Vandross - The Closer I Get To You 是翻唱 Robert Flack, Donny Hathaway 還有很多….

雖然我不知道他們自己是怎麼想的，為什麼想翻唱，放入專輯，歌受到大家喜愛，有什麼想法。但我想了一想，其實許多歌手拿別人的詞曲來唱，就是翻唱，如何詮釋一首歌好像也是蠻重要，它就變成了歌手自己的歌。下次我在唱或聽自己的夏夜晚風之後，不會再想這個問題了！翻唱別人的歌，現在主要是我練習我喜歡音樂人的編曲，希望近期可以帶給大家，剩下一首還沒完成，之後我就要去好了做自己專輯了
