A-mei is an ethnic Puyuma. Like most Chinese aborigines she was exposed to tribal music during her childhood. A-mei's mother used to record herself singing and then play back the tape for her daughters to hear. A-mei had always been fascinated by music; she once said she stuck to the radio and would rush to watch the late night music program introducing English songs when she was a little girl. She also showed great eagerness to perform in public, forcing her friends to listen to her sing.
A-mei first connected to the entertainment business by joining the televised "Five Lights Singing Contest" by TTV in 1994, after encouragment by her father, who was ill at that time. A-mei made all her way through to the finals but eventually lost in the final round. She felt very disappointed and most likely to quit her interest in music competition. A-mei's father then told her "you definitely can sing and perform songs beautifully, why don't you join the competition again to show that you got a talent in music?" So A-mei was encouraged and then decided to make a second attempt in the following year. This time her stable and superb performances were much appreciated by the judges, and A-mei was awarded the champion. Unfortunately, Amei's father passed away before her victory, making A-mei sad and aimless until she began to sing in pubs with a rock band formed by her musician cousin. She was later discovered by the popular singer/producer Chang Yu-Sheng (張雨生) and started her career.
The Power of Love
張惠妹 Lyrics
Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴
of lovers sleeping tight.
Are rolling like thunder now
as I look in your eyes.
I hold on to your body
and feel each move you make.
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake.
And you are my man.
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can.
Lost is how I'm feeling
lying in your arms.
When the world outside's too much to take.
That all ends when I'm with you.
Even though there may be times
it seems I'm far away.
Never wonder where I am
cause I am always by your side.
Cause I am your lady
And you are my man.
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can.
We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been.
Sometimes I am frightened but
I'm ready to learn
of the power of love.
The sound of your heart beating.
Made it clear suddenly.
The feeling that I can't go on
is light years away.
Cause I am your lady
And you are my man.
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can.
We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been.
Sometimes I am frightened but
I'm ready to learn
of the power of love.
the power of love
the power of love
the power of love
The whispers in the morning of lovers sleeping tight.
The soft, hushed words exchanged in the early hours by two people deeply in love, peacefully resting together.
Are rolling like thunder now as I look in your eyes.
Those whispers now resonate with immense strength and intensity, resembling the powerful rumbling of thunder, as I gaze into the depths of your eyes.
I hold on to your body and feel each move you make.
I grasp onto your physical form, intimately sensing and experiencing every subtle motion you create.
Your voice is warm and tender, a love that I could not forsake.
The timbre of your voice exudes a sincere, gentle affection, a love that I could never abandon or betray.
Cause I am your lady, and you are my man.
For I am the woman who holds your heart, and you are the man who possesses mine.
Whenever you reach for me, I'll do all that I can.
Whenever you seek my support or touch, I will wholeheartedly devote myself and exert utmost effort to assist you.
Lost is how I'm feeling, lying in your arms.
In the safe embrace of your arms, I experience a profound sense of being consumed and enraptured, as if losing myself within the depths of your affection.
When the world outside's too much to take.
When the external realities become overwhelming and unbearable to withstand or endure.
That all ends when I'm with you.
Such unbearable distress dissipates entirely when I am in your presence, finding solace and tranquility.
Even though there may be times it seems I'm far away.
Although there might be instances where it appears as if I am distant, physically or emotionally.
Never wonder where I am, 'cause I am always by your side.
Do not question or doubt my presence, for I perpetually stand beside you, unwavering in my devotion and support.
We're heading for something, somewhere I've never been.
Together, we are moving towards an unknown destination, traversing a path that I have never explored or experienced before.
Sometimes I am frightened but, I'm ready to learn of the power of love.
Occasionally, apprehension might arise within me, yet I am prepared to embrace and understand the profound strength and capabilities bestowed by love.
The sound of your heart beating made it clear suddenly.
The rhythmic pulsation of your heart indicates with sudden clarity and certainty.
The feeling that I can't go on is light years away.
The sensation of being unable to continue or persevere is incredibly distant, as if it exists light years beyond my current existence.
The power of love.
The indescribable force and influence exerted by love.
The power of love.
The invincible might and impact invoked by love.
The power of love.
The boundless potential and authority unleashed by love.
