22nd Jul 2012 (好好過 – Shiga Lin)

Today’s song is “好好過” by Shiga Lin. This song is quite new, it just came out a few weeks ago. If you read the comments below the you tube video people listen to this song in conjunction with “讓我享受談戀愛”, “I’m still loving you” and “到此為止”. The title in English is “Living happily”.

Many people see the 4 songs as a package, in fact they do connect up to become a story. I haven’t talk about “讓我享受談戀愛” in my posts yet, but from the title you can guess that it is about a girl wanting to fall in love. “I’m still loving you” is about the girl just got dump and saying that she still love her ex and she don’t deserve this ending. There is bitterness and somewhat anger in the song. “到此為止” is about she got dump but she is still thinking about her ex, but it is less bitter and more about the happy things that they did together, so the song got more sorrow. So you can feel that the girl have forgiven her ex-boyfriend for dumping her, but just started to try to move on. Now in the latest song “好好過”, it is about that she still feels the sorrow and she is trying hard to move on. She is deeply hurt and she is experiencing lack of sleep. She is trying hard to move on and her friends are helping her to move on. She still think of him from time to time, but she hope that her sadness could fade away just like he had fade away from her life. At the end of the song, she is telling herself that everyone would experience this once in a life. She can now carry out her day to day life as normal, and she know that she had moved on. She knows that she is now ready to fall in love with a new guy.

Personally I quite like this song, as it brings a good ending (at least for now) to the story. Hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.
