The meaning of travel- A meaningful song
The meaning behind traveling- Cheer Chan (a song by chen qi zhen)
You have seen many beautiful sights
You have seen many beautiful girls
You are lost in a place on the map for a short ray of time
You have tasted the night in Paris
You have walked the snow in Beijing
You have memorized every truth you loved in your notebook
However, you are unable to tell the reason for your love of me
Unable to say which side of me you appreciate best
Unable to say which occasion I have made you feel touched
Unable to say the reason for you leaving
You have accumulated many air travel miles
You have chosen your souvenirs with much care
You have search the weather patterns and daily charts of every corner of the map
You have embraced the warmth of islands
You have cherished the memory of Turkey
You noticed all the scenes in a movie that are not realistic
However, you are unable to tell the reason for your love of me
Unable to say which side of me you appreciate best
Unable to say which occasion I have made you feel concerned
Unable to say the meaning behind all the travels
Your force yourself to say the reason why you love me
Unable to say which side of me you appreciate best
Unable to say which occasion I have made you feel concerned
Unable to say the reason for you leaving
You force yourself to say that all the letters you have sent me
Are all your reasons for leaving
You leaving me
Is your reason for travel…
(a somewhat direct and sketchy translation of one of what I think is her best song with the mtv from Youtube)
I attended a wonderful concert by Cheer Chan. This is an example of one of the meaningful songs that she sung at the concert. Her voice is endearing and will hook you and make you want to listen more. Her concert at Singapore is a big success and had multiple encores which she kept coming back to sing and play her songs to the appreciative fans.

Yes, she is a great musician who writes her own songs, plays the guitar. The wiki has more information on her. Two other songs that are very nice are 'Tell me' and 'Lying in my closet' are two other very good songs. The second one is a more of a rock song I guess. She really has talent. Attended a concert by her that lasted from about 7 till 11 plus and she sang all the way except for a short 5 minutes intermission. Pure talent. Glad that you like her :)
