Funnily enough, one of the songs that left a deeper impression is this local piece by 林宇中 & Sheila Majid called "Melody". I've never sampled anything from 林宇中's repertoire and while I know Sheila by reputation (I was once malaysian, after all), I cannot say I am all that familiar with her songs.
Of duets & other pairings
I've been stranded on a musical desert of late, so I shamelessly asked friends to recommend some nice tunes. These came in abundance, including stellar acts like Jason Mraz and those OneRepublic boys (yes, I have been stuck in the desert for THAT long).

Still, this is a simply-titled song with a soulful tune. I managed to track down a fairly decent live version. Thanks to icenik for the recommendation!

Still here even though it's been...
Six months since my last update! Inexcusable.
It's all been good though. I am happier, if slightly more world-weary and circumspect.
It has also been a great time of recovery, especially of things I loved which were left by the wayside during the storm - favourite books, tunes and beloved people that splashed my life with much needed colour.
In any case, let's hope I won't forget the lessons I learnt, because it's almost a certainty that I will need them again.
In the meantime, I am losing myself to Alison Krauss' rendition of "Carolina on My Mind" before turning in. I love how this song softens the night.
