Tong Hua (童话) Cover - English/Chinese + Violin/Trumpet by Jason Chen & J Rice

Joanne Lee made the unthinkable and asked Hans and I to do a cover version of the famous rendition of Tong Hua (童话) but in a special version that incorporates English and Mandarin. The English lyrics is fully translated to maintain the Chinese meaning and untouched or unedited so that it holds the integrity of the emotional and sentimental value.

I agreed to doing it immediately because it's not the first time I had done such projects and I love it. It's my passion to re-create music and compositions of music has always been my motivation.

To give everyone a better idea of the cover song, here's the lyrics and the original performance by Jason Chen & J Rice.

It's been a while since

You told me...your favorite story

I see the tears in your eyes

They tell me you don't believe

My life was (changed

And I wish you could see)
