Joanna Wang
Joanna Wang (Chinese: 王若琳; pinyin: Wáng Ruòlín) is a Taiwanese-American singer-songwriter, daughter of renowned music producer Wang Zhi-ping (王治平). Born in Taipei but raised in Los Angeles, California, Wang dropped out from Gabrielino High School when she was 16. Her debut album, Start From Here, was released in January 2008 as a double-disc set, one in English and the other in Chinese. The album reached No.1 in Taiwan and has been popular throughout Southeast Asia. In June 2008, it was released in Japan. Her second album, Joanna & 王若琳, which includes her all-original endeavor, The Adult Storybook, was released in January 2009.
Career
As she was raised in the United States, Wang was exposed to many classic pop music acts, including but not limited to: The Beatles, Queen, and Oingo Boingo. Among her major influences are Danny Elfman, Yoeko Kurahashi (倉橋ヨエコ), Paul McCartney, and video game soundtracks, most notably those from the Castlevania, Zelda, and Mario series. She has stated in her YouTube videos and in interviews that she dislikes her debut and rejects it as her own work.

As Love Begins To Mend
by: Joanna Wangit's almost morning now
should I be going
it's so cold walking to your car
the yellow highway lights
the darkened blue sky
oh how they fly by
who says you've got to be strong
just to keep on holding on
love's here.my fears are gone
makes me brave enough knowing I belong
perhaps we're just really lonely deep inside
(I know) I felt so cold before
I was looking for someone just like me
who wants to love again
believe impossibilities
in times of bittersweet
to shed this false pretense
as love begins to mend
the cold and silent walls
my stifled heartbeat
oh it's best to leave the tv on
your scent still lingers
so near yet so far
