Jackie Chan - The Myth [神话] - Endless Love (Piano by Kai Ming)

I grew up watching tons of Jackie Chan's action movies. This movie - The Myth (released in 2005) was no exception. Its theme song (the version featuring Jackie Chan and the Kim Hee-Seon), titled Endless Love, blends Mandarin (sung by Jackie) and Korean (sung by Kim) vocals very nicely.



The chorus is a little tricky as it is the part where Mandarin meets Korean, and these parts are sung in different octaves (Jackie with the lower voice; and the opposite for Kim), and also with secondary layers that create a nice and rich harmony. For simplicity, I have arranged this section to be played in 6th / 3rds apart, and gradually increasing the tone by playing them in octaves as well.

Lyrics (in Mandarin)

Jackie:
解开我最神秘的等待
星星坠落风在吹动
终于再将你拥入怀中
两颗心颤抖
相信我不变的真心
千年等待有我承诺
无论经过多少的寒冬我决不放手
 

Kim (in Korean):
现在紧抓住我的手闭上眼睛
请你回想起过去我们恋爱的日子
我们是因为太爱
所以更使得我们痛苦
我们连"爱你"这句话都无法讲
 

Jackie:
每一夜被心痛穿越
思念永没有终点
早习惯了孤独相随
我微笑面对
相信我我选择等待
再多苦痛也不闪躲
只有你的温柔能解救
无边的冷漠
 

Kim (in Korean):
现在紧抓住我的手闭上眼睛
请你回想起过去我们恋爱的日子
我们是因为太爱
所以更使得我们痛苦
我们连"爱你"这句话都无法讲
 

Both:
让爱成为你我心中
那永远盛开的花
穿越时空绝不低头
永不放弃的梦
Kim (in Korean):

我们是因为太爱
所以更使得我们痛苦
我们连"爱你"这句话都无法讲
Both:

让爱成为你我心中
那永远盛开的花
Kim (in Korean):
我们千万不要忘记我们的约定
Both

唯有真爱追随你我
穿越无尽时空
Kim (in Korean):
我们连"爱你"这句话都无法讲
 

Jackie:
爱是心中唯一不变美丽的神话

  3. Hi Larry & Beatrice,
    Thanks for the kind compliments. Btw, I didn't play using any score. It was mainly through hearing (e.g listening to the MTV from YouTube several times, and figuring out the chords and melodies that suited my own playing style). And I starting recording it when I felt that it sounded OK. I'm quite bad at creating scores, but I'll definitely upload the score if I decide to transcribe this music into musical score one day.

    1. Hi tinkyawoo, it's good to know that you are learning the piano. I learnt music since I was at a very young age. My playing style kept changing and evolving over the years. I used to play single melody lines when I first started playing. Then I learnt the chords and played simple chords. From simple chords, it evolved into more complicated patterns. For melody, I started adding more notes like sixth note and octaves, just to make it sound richer. However, not everyone will like it. I just like to play whatever I like to hear :) It takes lots of practice, but you will need to start from simple melodies and simple chords at this level, and slowly add in variations (improvisation) as you get more and more comfortable. Hope it helps :)

  29. Hi Kai Ming, it has been so pleasant to listen to your cover. No other words can be used except "Wonderful, Beautiful". I saw a lot of comments mentioning the music sheet. I am not sure if you have a music sheet for this amazing arrangement. If yes, would you think about sharing or selling it. I believe people are willing to have it. Appreciate your nice piano cover.

  30. Dear Kai Ming, I am one of your big fan in the Myth sound track that you created. I have been listening to it several times in one and half year ago and still carry on listening. I absolutely love your sound track in your style. Is there any way you can make a tutorial for it in slow motion please? I found many versions of this song, however yours is the best one that I really want to learn.
