Joanna & 王若琳

Joanna & 王若琳 is the second studio album by Joanna Wang, released in January 2009. It comprises two discs, given two separate titles: the first, also titled Joanna & 王若琳, is described in this article; disc 2 is titled The Adult Storybook, under the name "New Tokyo Terror".

The album's title includes Wang's English and Chinese names, thereby reflecting the duality of the singer and the songwriter. The first disc displays the performer and includes covers of works by other artists. Conversely, the second disc emphasizes the creative Wang, as every song on it was written by her. Although her father, co-producer Ji-ping "Bing" Wang (王治平), was involved in the album's production, Wang was given more freedom, enabling her to fully express herself through her music.

  • "Maybe Some Other Time (English)" – 3:50

  • Joanna

    Joanna is a feminine given name deriving from Koine Greek Ἰωάννα Iōanna from Hebrew יוֹחָנָה Yôḥānnāh meaning 'God is gracious'. Variants in English include Joan, Joann, Joanne, and Johanna. Other forms of the name in English are Jan, Jane, Janet, Janice, Jean, and Jeanne.

    The earliest recorded occurrence of the name Joanna, in Luke 8:3, refers to the disciple "Joanna the wife of Chuza," who was an associate of Mary Magdalene. Her name as given is Greek in form, although it ultimately originated from the Hebrew masculine name יְהוֹחָנָן Yehôḥānān or יוֹחָנָן Yôḥānān meaning 'God is gracious'. In Greek this name became Ιωαννης Iōannēs, from which Iōanna was derived by giving it a feminine ending. The original Latin form Joanna was used in English to translate the equivalents in other languages; for example, Juana la Loca is known in English as Joanna the Mad. The variant form Johanna originated in Latin in the Middle Ages, by analogy with the Latin masculine name Johannes. The Greek form lacks a medial -h- because in Greek /h/ could only occur initially.

    Johanna (East Indiaman)

    Johanna (or Joanna) was an East Indiaman for the British East India Company (EIC), possibly named for the island of Anjouan, then known as Johanna. She made five voyages for the EIC between c. 1671 and 1681, On her sixth voyage she became the first Indiaman lost on the South African coast when she wrecked in February 1682.

    Career

    Captain Hopefar Bendall was her captain for the first five, successful voyages.

    Loss

    For her sixth voyage, Johanna was under the command of Captain Robert Brown. She left the Downs on 24 February 1682, and wrecked near the Cape Agulhas on 8 June 1682, while in a convoy to India with four other ships. Ten persons lost their lives, while the remaining 104 were able to make their way to Cape Town.

    Post-script

    A considerable amount of gold was on board. Dutch East India Company governor of the Cape Simon van der Stel immediately recovered some of it. Three hundred years later, in 1982, treasure hunters salvaged a further 23,000 coins and several hundred kilograms of silver.

    Broken

    by: Joanna

    Day after day I danced in your shade
    My smile hid the pain
    And I stored it away
    As your credits rolled by
    I stood as your prize
    But I was craving so much more
    Oh I was wasting away
    Tell me why oh tell me why
    Is it easier to hurt myself
    Than simply say
    Chorus:
    I don't love you,
    I don't need you,
    I don't want to understand
    Saying you love me
    Makes it too easy
    You can't fix me this time
    Cause I'm broken
    Oooh broken, we're broken
    Night after night
    I thought I could lie
    But it was burning a hole
    Chorus:
    I don't love you,
    I don't need you,
    I don't want to understand
    Saying you love me
    Makes it too easy
    You can't fix me this time
    Cause I'm broken
    Oooh broken, we're broken
    I should feel guilty but I don't
    We should stop, but we won't
    Love it complicated always
    In your eyes I see the pain
    Boy you know I feel the same
