6th Jun 2012 (向前走 – Pong Nan)

Today’s song is “向前走” by Pong Nan. The English translation is “Move on”. This song came out in 2009, but I only heard about this song last year. I love this song so much since I first heard of it, the lyrics is so touching.

This song tells us to move on. The lyrics talks about life. We face lot of failures in our life and there are many things that we regret. How about we treat those bad experiences as a training session in life, at least that way we will gain something from it. Thinking of our past, is that just simply recalling our memory or are we touching our wounds again. These memories slowly eat away ourselves and we will be trap in the past. We can’t just hide in our own memories and resisting to move on. We might regret, but time couldn’t go backward to help us fix those problems. No matter how hard it is, we have to move on and stop dreaming that someone will rescues us. If we have the courage to think about our past, why don’t we take out a bit more courage to fight for ourselves to break the barrier and make a better future? No matter how hard it is we need to move on, even if we don’t have courage we have to move on and even if the road is bumpy, we still need to move on. Leave the past in the past, we let it go and don’t look back. Time is passing by day by day, and we need to move on.

The last paragraph is what the song is about. These really touch me, I cry sometime when I read the lyrics. I am in a bad situation now and I am trying to do what the song said, to move on, but I found it very difficult, my daily life remind me of my past and I feel I am trapped and don’t know how to escape. Listening to this song does ease my pain a bit. If you are in a simulation situation, I hope this song can ease your pain as well and give you some energy to fight for your future.
