MorMusic Recommends: Spider-Man, But Make It Sentimental: Teresa Teng’s Existential Outro

 You ever hear a song and think, “Why does this sound like the gentle outro to a 1970s Spider-Man episode that never aired?” No? Just me?

Well, Teresa Teng’s 《漫步人生路》 (“Strolling Down the Road of Life”) gave me that exact feeling. There’s something about the way the melody goes bewhahahhahhb... baan dababdndn — you know the sound. That slow, dignified tumble of notes that feels like Spider-Man just walked off into the dusk, theme song dissolving into existential sweet jam.
