My Top 40 Songs of 2006


2006 was definitely not a good year for me. In fact, it was on the verge to have become the worst year in my life. Fortunately, due to all those unforgettable destinations I visited in 2006 that made 2006 very special, 2000 eventually got to retain the “worst” title. But, will 2007 be worse? Will I finally make up my mind to move back to Taiwan for good?

Just as the past 6 years, I put my favorite songs in different languages in one single year-end list. And also as usual, majority of my top songs are sad love songs. A song daydreaming about a beautiful woman seen on a subway but is never able to meet become the number 1 song of my 2006. Taking subways in New York and saw beautiful people all the time, this song always comes to my mind.

可以算是我這一生,在 2000年之外最不幸的 2006年,也終於結束了。若不是06年有機會去了很多,很多令人難忘的地方旅遊,回想這剛結束的 一年,會覺得非常地不堪回首。06年也因為一半以上的時間都在旅行,很少聽到中文和日文歌曲,因此今年榜上大部分進前40大的歌,都是英語歌。很多還是我暑假再東歐旅遊時,舞廳放個沒完的那幾首歌。一如往昔,我年度最喜歡的歌仍是以傷心情歌為主。尤其是本年度我第一名的歌,詹姆士•布郎特竟唱道對他地鐵上看到的美女,最後可能的發展是“Now it’s the time to face the truth, I will never be with you.”真是令人沮喪的結局。

就像我的 2006 年一樣。
