30th Dec 2012 (一生愛你一個 – Ekin Cheng)

The song that I chose for today is “一生愛你一個” by Ekin Cheng. One of my friend got married today, so I chose this song to wish them all the best. The direct English translation of the title is “Only love you in my life”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said that he already forgot why he love her girlfriend, but that doesn’t matter as he clearly know that he will only fall in love with her. Hope you will like the song.

29th Dec 2012 (天生不對 – Jason Chung and Karene Mak)

The song that I chose of today is “天生不對” by Jason Chung and Karene Mak. This is a follow up song from their last song, if I got the chance I will talk about their previous song. The direct English translation of the title is “Born to be a mismatch”.

The lyrics of the song are about a pair of couple, they used to argue a lot. But slowly they found this arguing entertaining and started to enjoy it and they end up to be together and got married. So it is a story of a couple that was born to be a mismatch. In the song, they said that everyone might be looking for their perfect match, but how many of them end up being together, at the end most of them only became best friend. Hope you will enjoy the song.

28th Dec 2012 (救援 –龍小菌)

The song that I chose for today is “救援” by 龍小菌. 龍小菌 (direct translation is “Dragon little mushroom”) can be consider as the second generation of internet singer in Hong Kong. 龍小菌 is her stage name, no one knows her real name nor how she looks like as wear a mask when she is on stage. I personally quite like her voice, I think she is a good singer. This generation of internet singer usually sing songs that relate to current event happening right next to us. The song that I chose today is about young girls in Hong Kong who wanted to make fast money (some just want to know more people or feel that they are being love) and became prostitute. It is an unhealthy situation and it is needed to stop as many girls regret when they grow up (or regret when they have a baby and they are not mature enough to handle the situation). The direct translation of the title is “assist”, hope you will enjoy the song.

27th Dec 2012 (街燈晚餐 – Janice Vidal)

The song that I chose for today is “街燈晚餐” by Janice Vidal. I bought Janice’s newest album today and this is the first tack in the album. I personally quite like this song. But I think Janice need to be more careful for her next album, most of her songs in this album sound so similar, perhaps this might be her style and maybe her manager thinks that these types of songs suit Janice. I am happy to listen to these types of song from her, but it get dull from time to time, to a certain degree, I loss the excitement that I used to get from listening to her songs. Her songs no longer have that naïve feeling, but that was partly what I like about her songs, keeping us in fantasy. Anyway the English translation of the title is “Street light dinner”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist tells us what true love is about. She said that no one in the world would think about whether their life would be secured by loving another person. They fall in love because they love each other, they hold hands simply because they wanted to hold hands. She is glad that she and her love one had gone this far, even in the future if they have to live poorly, she still wouldn’t regret. Hope you will like the song.

27th Dec 2012 (天使的禮物 – Eason Chan)

The song that I chose for today is “天使的禮物” by Eason Chan. It’s Boxing Day today, so I think I should choose a song that somewhat relate to presents. The direct English translation of the title is “Angel’s present”

The lyrics of the song are about the people that usually get undermined in our society. It talks about taxi drivers, waiters and street cleaners. The song said that these people don’t get much credit about what they do, but without them, the society just wouldn’t function. Their existents make our city better and brighter. Because of what they do, the song said that we should respect them more. Hope you will like the song.

24th Dec 2012 (Silent Night)

The song that I chose for today is “Silent Night”. It is Christmas time, so I chose a Christmas carol. Not much need to be said, it is Christmas Eve, so it’s Silent Night.

The lyrics of the song are about the birth of Jesus Christ. But to another degree, I think it also help us to find inner peace, as the melody is slow and steady, which helps us to calm down. Hope you will enjoy the song and Merry Christmas.

23rd Dec 2012 (因為愛情 – Eason Chan & Faye Wong)

The song that I chose for today is “因為愛情” by Eason Chan and Faye Wong. This song came out a last year, it was a theme song for a movie. This song is really worth listening as it is sung by two of the most important and popular figure in Chinese music. The direct English translation of the title is “Because of love”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. It talks about how love make us forget all the bad things. Though the protagonists of the song didn’t end up being together, they were listening to an old CD that they used to listen and remembered all the moment that they had together. Hope you will like the song.

22nd Dec 2012 (十二月二十二 – Kay Tse)

The song that I chose for today is “十二月二十二” by Kay Tse. This is the third and final song of my “End of the world” series. This song came out last year, the direct English translation of the title is “22nd of December”.

The lyrics of the song are about why we only see the beauty of our world when everything is over. The lyrics started saying that the disaster is over, everyone came out from their house. The sky is brighter than usual, the air is fresher. Everyone is hugging, we bumped into friends that we haven’t meet for years and we meet many new friends. Now as we are in haven, we don’t need to worry about our living cost or stress from work, we can dance in the park that we missed everyday due to our busy life. Though the real message of the song come at the very end, it said why we have to wait until the world ended to realise that all the things that we love are actually surrounding us every day. I love the message of this song, its message is very deep. Why do we always complain and live our life so busy that we missed out on all the good things that surround us. We worked so hard every day just so we could enjoy our life in the future, but the reality is that we can already enjoy our life, all the things that we like and love are here already. Hope you will enjoy this song as much as I do.

21st Dec 2012 (末日 – Ivana Wong)

The song that I chose for today is “末日” by Ivana Wong. The version that I chose is the story version, which got a narrator to tell the story of the song. This is one of my favourite songs. The direct English translation of the title is “End of the world”. This is the second song of my “end of the world” special

The lyrics of the song are about end of the world. It say that there are many theory about the end of the world, their existent are like reminding her how well she is living her life. If there isn’t much time left, what would you do. Since we can’t control our fate, we should treat every day as the end of the world, as we don’t know what will happen to us the next day. That way we at least have lived our life the way we wanted. It could be short but bright, much better than a dull life that last. What I really like about this song is the narration. The narrator start off telling us that 4 minutes and 40 seconds before the end of the world we got an email telling us that the world will end, we will leave the world that we know, what would you do in this last 4 minutes and 40 seconds. Then the narrator go on and tell us that only 2 minutes and 50 seconds left, everything that we know of will vanish, and asked what would we most yearn. Then when there is only 1 minute and 30 seconds he told us that they made an wrong calculation, the disaster is approaching right now, there is only time to make our last phone call, who would that be. In the last 18 seconds, it’s the end, but we realised it was all wrong, nothing happened, but if you have already know who you were about to call and what to say, why don’t you make the call now.

I really love the narration, it really tell us the message why we only yearn about what we got when we lost them, why don’t we value them when we still got it. Perhaps this end of the world myth is here to remind us to love one another. Hope you will enjoy the song as much as I do.

20th Dec 2012 (十二月二十 – Kay Tse)

The song that I chose for today is “十二月二十” by Kay Tse. As the so call end of the world is approaching (21st of Dec 2012), I will do an ‘End of the world’ special, starting from today. The title of the song in English is “20th of December”.

This song uses the end of the world to describe how the wealthy and the poor see the end of the world differently. At the beginning it tell us that the wealthier people got onto an ark to travel to the Pacific Ocean to avoid tsunami. While the wealthy people have a party on the ark, drinking wine and having all the best food, the poor got nowhere to go. The poor was forced to stay at home with no water and power, they can only wish that they will somehow survive. But at the end of the world, it turns out that it was worse at the Pacific. All the wealthy people have to fight each other to get life jacket, while the poor just stay at home safely and eating the cheap food that they saved earlier. This song is not really about the end of the world, but rather using that to describe how our society have been split into two major bodies. Hope you will like the song.

18th Dec 2012 (自欺欺人 – Alex Fong and Theresa Fu)

The song that I chose for today is “自欺欺人” by Alex Fong and Theresa Fu. The direct English translation of the title is “Self-deception”. Although I don’t like either of the singer, but this song that I found that sounds quite interesting.

The lyrics of the song are about a couple. The male felt that they are no longer connected, but he feel that it is his duty to protect the girl, so he don’t wanted to say they are done. The girl still love this guy, she feel that he longer love her, but she don’t wanted to say they are finished either. So the two let this drag on, yet both of them are being hurt because of this. Hope you will like the song.

The song that I chose for today is “身體發膚” by Kay Tse. This is one of the songs that I really like from Kay. This song is a few years old and it was a theme song for a distil water.

The lyrics of the song tell us that we should take care of our body. It said that every day we use our body, it help us out at the time when we needed it. We use our legs to walk, use our hand to hug and it never gave us up. So we should repay our body, to let it rest. Hope you will like the song.

The song that I chose for today is “漣漪” by Danny Chan. The English translation of the title is “Ripple”. I was walking along the sea side today and I saw the sea got lot of wave. Seeing how the waves interact with each other reminded me of this song.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist told us that his live was like a lake, very still. His girlfriend is like the ripple in the lake, making lot of disturbance, creating happiness and many happy memories. Listening to this song make me think of how our life interact with each other. We are like waves in the sea, many wave would travel in the same direction, following a patent. But sometime, another set of wave would come and interact with us. We might join together to form a bigger wave or we might just passed through each other like we have never meet. Hope you will enjoy this song.
