Just A Dream-Nelly

I performed "Just A Dream" (KHS version) in memory of Christina Grimmie, Mar 12th, 2022 at eslite bookstore.

As many of you may know, most of my biggest inspirations of starting doing all these are cover creators like @KurtHugoSchneider @samtsui and of course @christinagrimmie . "Just A Dream" was one of my favorite covers among all, and I personally think it's probably the most important cover video in the history. Can't believe that it was created back in 2010, the quality of the production still the highest level even now.

When I was at high school, I watched their awesome covers almost every day repeatedly, I did research of them, I introduced them to my friends and teachers on class, I even selfishly used the classroom podcasting system to play their songs. They're like my heroes, inspiring me in many many ways. I can't stop dreaming that someday I could finally meet them in person and tell them how grateful I am.

But that's not gonna happened forever. I still remember the day when I was at the "Berklee Info Session" in Taipei, I accidentally read the news on my phone and knew the tragedy of Christina's death, I was totally freaking out and can't believe it was true. 2 days later, as you may know, I've done a tribute video for her (https://youtu.be/7FCKcczenRs). It was a real shock to me. I still remember me watching every single videos on "zeldaxlove64", the "Titanium", "I Won't Give Up", "Fireflies", original song "Advice", "Liar Liar", original album "With Love"...not only these, and all the ft. videos she worked with other creators, all the amazing performance on "The Voice".

It's really a coincidence that eslite bookstore invited me to perform at March 12th, and I knew that was Christina's birthday, so I selfishly asked to perform this piece, and I'm glad they approved. This performance is for you, Christina. You will be missed forever and always, RIP.
