I don’t like this song as much as the other two in the
series, but since I have posted the other two, I should complete my series with
this song as well. Although all three songs are about father and son, but they
are all slightly different from each other. Eason’s “單車” is
about growing up and understanding the love from his father, George’s “追憶”
is about the memory that the father and son share and the pain of losing a
father. Danny’s “空凳” (by the way, the English translation of the title is “Empty
chair”) is about regret. The lyrics goes like this “There is an empty chair,
but it still attract me to get closer. A long long time ago, in this chair, my
dad was like a giant. There is only regret left in this wear chair. Long time
ago, this chair used to be beautiful, and there were little wrinkle on dad’s
face. Staring at this chair along make me wish that I could sit with him again.
Looking at this chairing make me sad, why I didn’t tell him what I wanted to
say. I was lazy to say “I love you”, lazy to say “I love you”. I used to think
that I was the most important. But today I realised that I love him, I love him
forever, but I can only say it to an empty chair.”
I guess all these 3 songs bring out a point that the love
between father and son are not in words. Unlike the love from mother, father’s loves
are usually not shown to you directly, but they would try their best to protect
you behind your back. I guess this is the way of love between men, and it would
be hard for female to understand it. Hope you will like the song for today.
Just for your information, the lyrics of “追憶” and “空凳”
were written by the same person.
