Re: ♦ HONG KONG / XIANGGANG / 香港 ♦ WV 79 ♦ GDJYB - THE LOVING MOTHERS (SF2)
WV HONG KONG presents
GDJYB
"The Loving Mothers"
About the Band GDJYB's name comes from the Chinese dish " Steamed meatloaf with egg", they are a 4-piece indie band based in Hong Kong.
The band's members include Soft (Vocalist), Soni (Guitarist), Wing (Bassist) & Heihei (Drummer). Through composing their songs with Honglish (English in Hong Kong style & accent), they have published a series of songs with topic ranging from daily happenings to social topics. For example, their first published song "Burn it down" brings forth the struggle between religious and LGBT parties. On the other hand, "Durian what what what" describes the political situation in Hong Kong after the Umbrella Revolution in 2014.
The band focuses on the music genre which they named "Math-Folk". It is a combination of math-rock & folk songs with a constantly varying tempo and progression, alongside with gentle tones and harmonies.
GDJYB published their first full album "23:59 Before Tomorrow" in early 2017 in both Hong Kong And Taiwan Region, which consists of 11 new songs including hit singles such as "Durian What What What" and "Burn it down". This album also marks the end of bassist YY's journey with the band. The position is replaced by new bassist Wing Chan.
Lyrics
In the name of justice
I’ll crack you down on knee
You’re the bad cell in the brain
The dross sticking in vein
In the faith of power
The stick on hand we trust
You’re the stasis in the city
The virus break the chain
I am doing this for my love ones
I am doing this for my children
I am doing this for our city
I am doing good for you
Feel it
Feeling with fears
Just feel it
The blood’s mixed with tears
I have the gun
I am the big one
I am the justice
I am the hero
I am the justice
I am the hero
Your loving mother
Your caring mother

Re: ♦ HONG KONG / XIANGGANG / 香港 ♦ WV 79 ♦ GDJYB - THE LOVING MOTHERS (SF2)
The long wait for my fourth qualification has been extended...
Here I am again, a bit disillusioned for having myself being unlucky time and time again, but I'm never giving up on WV, ever.
So if anyone has got some suggestions for 's upcoming NF, shoot me a PM
Re: ♦ HONG KONG / XIANGGANG / 香港 ♦ WV 79 ♦ GDJYB - THE LOVING MOTHERS (SF2) + WV80 NF LL ON WEDNESDAY!
My dear damsel, your non-qualification record saddens me given the fabulous array of music you have sent us. I hope your luck changes with this national final. Alas, I can't make your LL as I'll be driving home from holiday then, but I certainly shall be listening once it's up Best of luck

WV 80: A SONG FOR HONG KONG
Hullo and welcome to Hong Kong's NF featuring ten songs in a melting pot of genres!
About the LL itself, it was attended by invisible ghosts (including those of Sandra Reemer and Riki Sorsa), mythological creatures and various cartoon characters from Disneyland cheering for their faves... Just joking! (I was just reading Animal Farm the whole time though...)
For those who missed the LL, we introduced another song from GDJYB that was the original choice for Cambridge before "Loving Mothers" was introduced...
So without further ado, here are the ten songs fighting for the prestigious ticket to WV 80, and of course, the fourth one to qualify (if luck and circumstances allow)!
1. Choi Sai-Ho feat. Jing Wong - The Light of Babylon
2. Janice Vidal - Butterfly
3. Teenage Riot - Trash From The Heart
4. Pakho Chau - Arrogant
5. Elephant Gym - Head & Body
6. Tang Yi - Your Child Will Grow Up Listening To My Song
7. Prune Deer - HeatDeath
8. Lantern Festival - Shining Door Star
9. Leah Dou - River Run
10. Chochukmo - King Of My World
Copy-paste List:
Choi Sai-Ho feat. Jing Wong - The Light of Babylon
Janice Vidal - Butterfly
Teenage Riot - Trash From The Heart
Pakho Chau - Arrogant
Elephant Gym - Head & Body
Tang Yi - Your Child Will Grow Up Listening To My Song

Lantern Festival - Shining Door Star

Voting:
Use Traditional ESC-style (12-1) in ranking the songs, then send your votes to Eulaliya (yup, that's me).
Deadline will be on 23th of June at 20 CET.
Have fun!
Re: ♦ HONG KONG / XIANGGANG / 香港 ♦ WV 80 ♦ MELTING POT OF GENRES NF NOW UP (DDL: TBA)
Announcement:
The scandal has been spotted!
We have announced through an informant that Della has to withdraw from this NF (as she is from not ) and instead, Janice Vidal will take her place with the song "Butterfly." It's a scandal really reminiscent of Luxembourg in its ESC days, eh? (Fun fact: Most of their artists were French, except the Greek Vicky Leandros, the Belgian Plastic Bertrand and the Irish Geraldine back in '75.)
So any points to Della will be transferred to Janice Vidal, unless those votes need to be resent in order to fix the scores.
