Some Facts on Jeremy's Songs

(On stage interview with Fei Yu Ching 2003)

Song: "Do You Know I'm Waiting For you?" (Ni Zhi Dao Wo Zai Deng Ni Ma?)

Composer: Jeremy Chang / Lyrics: Jeremy Chang
Jeremy: "This song came about during a typhoon. I didn't know what was going on up there but down here I was waiting for someone."

Song: "Beautiful Flower Butterfly" (Mei Li De Hua Hu Die)
Composer: Jeremy Chang / Lyrics: Jeremy Chang / Arranger: Jeremy Chang
Jeremy: "I've always liked butterflies. The biggest difference between humans and butterflies is that humans will grow old and die, whereas butterflies will become more beautiful as they mature and will die when they are most beautiful."

Song: "What Can I Take From You" (Wo Neng Dai Zou Ni De Shen Me)
Composer: Jeremy Chang / Lyrics: Wu Bai
Jeremy: "Most people will think that this song was created by the beauty and the beast, with me being the feminine one and Wu Bai being the masculine one. In reality, Wu Bai can be very soft hearted in the lyrics he writes."

Song: "Hiroshima Love" (Guang Dao Zhi Lian)
Composer: Jeremy Chang / Lyrics: Jeremy Chang / Arranger: Tu Ying
Jeremy: "It is very difficult to arrange for both Karen Mok and I be together on stage, therefore each time I perform this song, I have to find someone to take Karen's place. It becomes a game sometimes. I've even requested fans to come on stage to sing with me. It is very interesting to learned that there are many different voices."


MY says:
Every Jeremy song must have a story to it. The majority of the songs he wrote for other singers often are put into their first or second album. He jokingly said, "Now that they are famous, they won't need me anymore." He said that he doesn't purposely keep good songs for himself, every new song he writes is from scratch.

Did you know that Jeremy wrote two songs for Aaron Kwok in his earlier career: "Could It Be That You Still Do Not Know" (Nan Dao Ni Xian Zai Hai Bu Zhi Dao) and "My Heart is Still Beating" (Xin Xian Zai Hai Zai Tiao)?
