The sun plays hide and seek between the Wanchai skyscrapers as I walk my way to meet ‘The most obnoxious music Duo’ for lunch.
I am talking about them, Windowsill and Ashtray.
A couple determined to do, play and, say whatever they want to.

We finally sat down at a random ‘cha chaan teng’ that served plates that taste whatever flavor you can imagine. In fact, the dishes are all different, but the flavor is the same. You just need to imagine how you want it to taste.

A talked that seemed to be more like a professional meeting (as If I would be the Sony Music guy or something and them the hot band in the city) ended up in a scheduling of a concert in Shenzhen and the proposal to make a video.

Love them or hate them, that is my conclusion about Windowsill and Ashtray. I love them. I don’t care about the music they make really, but their presence on stage, which is a theatrical representation. They laugh about whatever they want, all the time surrounded by either a conservative audience (Hong Kong) or an applause-happy audience that has no idea what’s going on (Chinese).

It took me more than 2 months to finish this video, just because I laid back a lot and could not find the time to finish this and laugh about the shoots like I wanted to.

I hope they will understand, but if they don’t, we are still in Peace. Good luck in Boston W&A. We love your stuff.

THE LYRICS

I WISH I WAS A SCIENTIST

I wish I was a scientist
I’d have beakers and instruments But I am not a scientist
I’m just a shitty lyricist
If I were a biologist
I’d take your heart and replace it
If I were a biochemist
I’d give you homemade medicines
I don’t know shit bout mathematics
I can barely add 2 with 2
Can’t comprehend the laws of physics Nothing to offer you
I’d come up with all sorts of theories (scientist)
I’d mix all sorts of chemicals (chemicals)
Just to ensure that you were with me (complex math) I’d be your scientist
La la la la la la la etc
But I am not a scientist
I don’t have any instruments Just my guitar and shitty voice Nothing that will make you moist
