21st Jun 2012 (十字架 – Kay Tse)

The song that I chose for today is “十字架” by Kay Tse. Kay got a brilliant voice, it is very enjoyable even to just listen to her song without the background music. The direct translation of the title is “Cross” (as in the cross uses in religion, not the cross uses as in wrong. They got different name in Chinese). This song is one of my favourite by Kay.

This song is about a girl being deeply hurt by her ex-boyfriend. The story of the lyrics goes like this: When the protagonist was young, her mum told her that being truthful and treating other nicely, others will treat you nicely in return. But as she growth, she realised she got more wound by keeping these words. To took out her heart to her boyfriend, but in return she got hurt. She felt that it is like Jesus taking the cross on his back, she need to suffer to bring goods to the world, the more she give the worse she will get in return. So she decided to protect herself by “building a wall” to protect herself from harm, yet she know that this wall will also isolate her from the rest of the world, meaning that she will have to live the rest of her life alone. She wishes that one day she would know what to do.

This story is quite true in our world today. I found that you can’t be too nice to others. When you be nice to others, a lot of them will take advantages of you. This is rather sad, because if it keeps going like this, there wouldn’t be many nice people left, as more and more realised that being to others means that being mean to yourself.

Hope you will enjoy the song.
