Track 2 - 狂戀 :: Complex

This is not a new song, in fact it was written at least 10 years ago or more. This song appears in the ultra-acoustic, homemade and now rare release of Demo series (Demo 1, i think).  In that particulary release, the recording quality was very sparse. Imagine hearing Cheer singing in a echo-ed room with only a clean tone sounding electric guitar from a 2.5" Panasonic radio speaker in the dead of the night. That scary, that saddnening.

Finally, Cheer has done a glorious full band version in 2009 :) The songs has a slow built up with just piano intro trickling in, followed later by strings section before peaking with drum & bass. Here, she sound less depressed but nontheless sung with a strong conviction of the "Complex" emotions that exude resignation of a star-crossed love story. Well, not star-crossed, just plain infatuation !

What could be better: the drumming....there should be more intense drumming. Not sure why there is this "too" held-back feeling which lack the "kick". The drumming should match Cheer's desperation in those lonley nights with lonely thoughts. Maybe Tiger/Cheer really wanted to convey the incompleteness of this song....  

This will definitely be a concert show-stopper!
