Paolo | Do you ever take time to look at the stars? |
Chris | I do stare, quite often, at the starry skies. Because I have tendency to let my imagination go free and wild. Under the starry sky, the world seems infinite; it leads me to set loose or wipe off the boundaries of my imagination. That’s why in my music, the starry sky has been more or less a consistent element in the lyrics. That’s a world I would love to live in. Once I was in the Sahara Desert. It was all quiet, total silence, with nobody else but the sky just above me, so close as if I could touch it. It was really impressive—when I looked up at the sky with all those stars, I had a heart-quake. All that reminds me of beauty, right? I think music is beauty, a starry sky is beauty, so is the sea... |
Paolo | What is love for you? |
Chris | Love is... To me... A very firm belief. |
Paolo | Could you sing your favourite love song? |
Chris | This song of mine goes way back... And it’s just a small piece—a bagatelle. I’m still in love with its melody, and the lyrics. I have always found it beautiful, because it relates to the memory of a first love, and the wishful thinking of always loving that way. So, I’ll just sing a small passage. |
She sings | |
Chris | “Only wishing that I could love you like the very first time, the way you loved me.” |
Paolo | What do you feel when you’re singing? |
Chris | In private, I’m all quiet, an introvert—even shy. Some may even say kind of autistic. However, as soon as I step on a stage I become someone else. I get possessed. When I sing, when I perform, I split into various selves. These selves sometimes surprise my true self, as they exceed me. How I enjoy that! |
