Today’s
song is “吃鯨魚的人” by Juno Mak. Juno is not a popular singer, in fact,
quite a lot of people dislike him because when he first started his singing
career, the media had found out that his dad pay people to pretend to be his
fans. Because of that incident, he loses his credibility. To certain degree, I
feel sorry for him, because people no longer truly listen to his song, a lot of
people change channel or station when his song came up.
I
don’t feel negative about Juno, but personally, his songs are not the type that
I like except a few, and today’s song is one of those. The direct translation
of the title is “The person who eat whale”. I like this song because it talks
about how us human being eat whale through whales’ point of view. It is a very
interesting song because it talks about all the wrong things that we do to
whales and how we treated the whale badly, yet throughout the song, the whale
seems to feel that it is a normal thing. For example, it said that “why we are
so close to extinction but you still come and hunt us down. Why are you so
crude, you are always just looking for the next sacrificial offering just to
give you the nutrition that you need.” But it also answers its own question “I
guess you are doing this because you are just mortal, and hunting is
just your survival instinct.” These lines really bring out the sadness, and to
a certain extent, it shows us how we are being so selfish that we wanted to
control everything around us with considering others that share this planet
with us.
Hope
you will enjoy the song.
