Had been watching Gems of Life (Zhu Guan Bao Qi) recently... it's a great drama... the story, actors, humor and the luxurious blah blah... haa.. and yeah, the show is also promoting diamond, the bling bling, yeah, it kinda reflect one's life and the wealthy lifestyle in the show .. Another great impact of the show is, nevertheless, the song in the midst of the drama. They had pull it off again ... :)
Initially when I heard the song, it sound rather familiar, but I just can't piece the song tittle or singer together. It is only upon hearing it several times afterward... it begin to drawn on me that ... haaa.... it is the piece that I like but didn't really listen to... coz the version that I have sound rather sad and heavy... :p .
The piece that is play on the Gems of Life is Bach - Air on The G String. The version on the drama had been given a lighter twist to it. The 1st version is the angelic voice that "oooOO" the piece so pure and innocently. The 2nd version is another soft rendition on it - guitar strumming. Both have a similiarity feel to the classical Bach's orchestral version - sadness. Both piece also seems to have alot to tell, lots of emotion entrapped inside. One or both seems to gone through many ups and downs in a/few relationships alone/together. It's kinda bittersweet with lots of happy moments before ... and I hope thereafter as well :)
Oh, the closest guitar version that I could find is this:

Look at the way he play. Woww. The world seems to twirl in slow motion.. . He play it so ... relaxing. He seems to be into the piece... into the "Air world" ... not bother by what surrounding him. He seems to play the music in a slow motion but the music flow seamlessly and wonderfully. :) . A beautiful and amazing guitar version.
Btw, do that guy look familiar to you? Someone comments that he look like Bill Gates :) .. hee ...
Oh yeah, if you know the version of the "Anglic Voice", please let me know :) . I have been searching in vain for it.
