I've seen them performed in China, Taiwan and here in New York but I did not have the opportunity to record until a friend of mine showed me a link.. If you see them live, you will be fascinated as well..

The Chinese bodhisattva (Buddhistic prophet) to whom childless women turn for help. He manifests himself in any conceivable form wherever a being needs his help, especially when someone is menaced by water, demons, fire, or sword. Kuan-yin, whose name means "Who Contemplates the [Supplicating] Sound of the World", along with Samantabhadra, Kshitigarbha (Di-cang) and Manjushri (Wen-shu), is one of the four great bodishattvas of Buddhism. Guan-yin is identified as the male bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, also known as Chenresi in Tibetan, "One Who Hears the Cries of the World".

Guan-yin

In more recent representation, Guan-yin is often depicted with distinct feminine features, an effect of Taoistic and Tantric influences from the 8th to 10th century. She is often depicted as the Thousand Armed, Thousand Eyed bodhisattva, and later in a form inspired by the Virgin Mary figures from the West. In many representations, Guan-yin has a child on one arm or appears in the company of a maiden who holds a fish basket or is shown together with Wei-tuo. In other depictions Guan-yin is shown standing on clouds or riding a dragon in front of a waterfall. As Guan-yin of the Southern Sea, she stands on a cliff in the midst of flaming waves and rescues shipwrecked persons from the sea (which symbolizes samsara, the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth). She usually holds a lotus blossom or a willow twig and a vase containing heavenly dew or the nectar of immortality.

Guan-yin is also worshipped in Japan as the goddess Kannon by both Buddhist and Shinto groups.

According to folk belief of eastern China, Guan-yin dwells on the island Pu-tuo-shan, which is the boddhisattva's sacred place.  less

"Where'd You Go"

Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.

She said "Some days I feel like shit,
Some days I wanna quit, and just be normal for a bit,"
  more...I don't understand why you have to always be gone,
I get along but the trips always feel so long,
And, I find myself trying to stay by the phone,
'Cause your voice always helps me to not feel so alone,
But I feel like an idiot, workin' my day around the call,
But when I pick up I don't have much to say,
So, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"

I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...

You know the place where you used to live,
Used to barbecue up burgers and ribs,
Used to have a little party every Halloween with candy by the pile,
But now, you only stop by every once and a while,
Shit, I find myself just fillin' my time,
With anything to keep the thought of you from my mind,
I'm doin' fine, I planned to keep it that way,
You can call me if you find that you have something to say,
And I'll tell you, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"

I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...

I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', no longer debatin',
Tired of sittin' and hatin' and makin' these excuses,
For why you're not around, and feeling so useless,
It seems one thing has been true all along,
You don't really know what you've got 'til it's gone,
I guess I've had it with you and your career,
When you come back I won't be here and you can sing it...

Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...  less

just a video i like most regarding emptiness...

I feel
I feel anguish
No control
the dark growing inside of me
I feel
no goal, no direction, no use
I don't feel
I feel nothing
EMPTY

a simple greeting for my mom and to all the mothers out there...

a long awaited thank you video to a wonderful friend Ferdz..... sorry if it took me a month...

sang by joshua radin   more... what if you could wish me away
and what if you spoke those words today
i wonder if you'd miss me
when i'm gone
it's come to this release me
i'll leave before the dawn

but for tonight i'll stay here with you
yes for tonight i'll lay here with you
but when the sun hits your eyes
through your window
there'll be nothing you can do

and what if you could hear this song
and what if i felt like i belonged
i might not be leaving oh so soon
began the night believing i loved you in the moonlight

so for tonight i'll stay here with you
yes for tonight i'll lay here with you
but when the sun hits your eyes
? through your window
there'll be nothing you can do

i could have treated you better
better than this
well i'm gone this song's your letter
can't stay in one place

so for tonight i'll stay here with you
yes for tonight i'll lay here with you
but when the sun hits your eyes
through your window
there'll be nothing you can do  less
