The popular multi-platinum electronic pop duo Tat Ming split up in 1991 and Anthony Wong, half of Tat Ming went solo.
After two moderately successful cantonese albums, the third album was recorded in Mandarin. The album was commercially unsuccessful and its singles did not do well. "Amorous City" was the relatively more popular single off the album.
The song is a fusion of Chinese folk and electronic music and features the chinese instrument suona (also known as dida), which sounds like a wailing trumpet. I personally love this song ALOT and it's one of my favorite from Anthony.
Anthony Wong - 多情城市 (Amorous City)
From Album: 明明不是天使 (Obviously no angel) 1994
Lyrics:
I have a little secret I need to secretly tell you
Please don't secretly laugh at me
I am already searching from the morning till night
I've lived to such age and have never been in love
The love that others sing praises about
seems like only I have never encountered
Since a certain age, I have listened to many love stories
I heard some weep forever while some love are forever beautiful
Living in this amorous city, seems like everyone has been in love
Is it that I have not been blessed
Don't tell me that only I am lonely
Love is just love What can anyone say
Love is just love ai-ya-yi-ya-yi-yo
Love is just love Whose fault is it?
Love is just love ai-ya-yi-ya-yi-yo
I figured you are just like me, have listened to many love stories
Can you honestly tell me, how did you find your love
