Not only that, but an utterly captivating speaker, performer, and an interesting human being, with so much soul, depth and complexity, and eternal wisdom beyond her years. I could go on 8^)
What a voice of music . . . and now a voice for sustainable enterprise! So happy to have her playing at Mission Zero Fest in Ann Arbor on June 9th! @missionzerofest
Green Island Serenade is one of those songs that I simply cannot skip if it comes up on my ipod. And it represents a whole lot to me beyond the understanding of the words. I'm trying out with Eric's Song for college choir this fall, which is one of my most cherished songs that she's written and I sang Soon Love Soon, which is about a long term hope for peace, with my closest friends in my choir show last spring. Vienna has a wonderful way of thinking, writing, and expressing herself.
yeah! how awesome she is, i love both two songs she song, the rhythm of it take me to a entirely new place that remove all of my thought in a while, it bring to me more feeling that i do not ever have, i really feel peacefull and pleasant. Also, her voice is amazing! that make me really love her :). my favourite type of songs is chinese songs, its rhythm make me have some feeling like these songs, it make me remember what awesome songs i have already listened with my elder brother, oh! i miss him and my familly too, every time i hear chinese songs, difference feeling come up in my hearth... wish i could come home now .........
I completely agree. There was an American culture, with values, and morals, from a time gone by (at least since the 60s or 70s I would argue) and it seems as if it is lost and we will never be the same. I feel some certain sadness that we will no longer be the great nation we once were. People will still want to immigrate here, but they will likely never know or understand what made this country what it is (or what it once was), and why they are really coming here. Greed was definitely the cause
How interesting, that is how I fill about the USA. We can't seem to go back to the good old days when americans could have a good job that had security and your high school diploma is all you needed along with your values of hard work and love for family. Today a child has a future of 16 years of school or more, followed by work that may last until you are 70. Why did we let greep ruin the dream. Money is the God we must not kneel to.
Love the first song! However, Taiwan is not a country though .. for your information, the official name of country that now resides on the island of Taiwan is still the Republic of China. It's on the passport, its biils, the residents' id cards, etc.
Actually the "Republic of China" is different from the "People's Republic of China". While the first is the name the Taiwanese government chose for a Taiwanese state, the latter is the term used by the mainland Chinese government to describe all areas they believe belong to "One China". However, stating that Taiwan is not a country sounds a bit like announcing the US is not a country because it's should be "United States of America".
Why is she not more known ?? She’s amazing!
she is not focusing on music anymore.
Not only that, but an utterly captivating speaker, performer, and an interesting human being, with so much soul, depth and complexity, and eternal wisdom beyond her years. I could go on 8^)
i agreee whole heartedly. even when u watch her concerts, you can see how much of an amazing person she is
Simply the BEST singer songwriter of today.
So much beauty and talent in one person, thank you, You Tube...without which I would never have been able to enjoy Vienna Teng.

Green Island Serenade and later on an excellent solo version of Blue Caravan with the audience providing the sound effects. Thanks for posting this.

I’ve always loved this singer, I wonder where she is now? Mission Street is still my favorite song

I fell in love with Vienna the moment I first laid eyes on her I have continued following her for years she's an amazing singer artist!
Aw, that is such a beautiful song....
@TEDxTalks -- You might want to correct that tag from "ViennaTang" to "ViennaTeng".
really love this video! so nice!
This is really a nice talk.
綠島小夜曲.讚
I don't align with her political views but she is one of the most talented songwriters and musicians I have encountered.
Oooh my gosh, it's freaky because when she speaks it's like hearing my twin (except my voice is a lil bit lower and deeper)
Damn shes amazing, awesome talent, beautiful girl. I'd do anything to find a girl like Vienna.

Sean Michael Good what is greep?
Same corporate masters
Can someone please point me to the (Chinese) lyrics of the first song that she sings?
这绿岛像一只船
在月夜里摇呀摇
姑娘啊
你也在我的心海里飘呀飘
让我的歌声随那微风
吹开你的窗棂
让我的衷情随那流水
不断地向你倾诉
椰子树的长影
椰子树的长影
掩不住我的情意
掩不住我的情意
明媚的月光
明媚的月光
更照亮了我的心
更照亮了我的心
这绿岛的夜
这绿岛的夜
已经这样沉静
已经这样沉静
姑娘啊
姑娘啊
你为什么还是默默无语
你为什么还是默默无语
@@yangmingwanli 谢谢你！
我会取名她叫 溦安

Just cause china took them over doesn't mean they wanted, or ascribe, to it.
Actually the "Republic of China" is different from the "People's Republic of China". While the first is the name the Taiwanese government chose for a Taiwanese state, the latter is the term used by the mainland Chinese government to describe all areas they believe belong to "One China".

Samantha Weps Texas also wants to be independent? Why the US is holding them?
Taiwan is a country. What brainwashing have been listening to?
Taiwan is a bunch of rightist reactionaries. Vienna rules though.
love your song a lot. but have to correct one thing, there is no country of Taiwan.
troll.
