24th Jul 2012 (大大時代 – Alan Tam)

The song that I chose for today is “大大時代” by Alan Tam. The direct translation of the title is “Big Big Era”. This song was a theme song for a radio drama. The radio drama was called “黃金少年” (translated as “Golden Teenage”), it was a long radio drama, quite rare to have a radio drama that got 4 seasons. This song was the main song throughout all 4 seasons, but mostly played in the first season.

The 4 seasons radio drama got different themes for different seasons, but all 4 of them connect together. The first season is about how a guy achieving his dream, changing himself beyond his boundary. The main theme running through all 4 seasons is that how people chase their dreams, and in the process of that how things could get wrong and how those thing could affect another person.  Since this song is the theme song, the lyrics matches these ideas. The lyrics talks about chances. It mentions how one things rises another fall. How our values changes as we grown up. The lyrics are quite complicated, and I think everyone get something different out of the lyrics, so I guess it is best to leave you to understand the lyrics yourself. Hope you will enjoy this song.

大大時代 – Alan Tam

Lyrics:

大大時代

作曲：王雙駿

填詞：林夕

編曲：王雙駿

排隊身影未散 借了的青春未還

頭頂的光環 想要力挽 便靠膽

迷惘與幻覺之間　想創造過波瀾　想得到絕讚

眼望繁華搖板　興衰裡循環

迎面有煙花散開　落到海上現實未存在

夢想到超買即使　未能盛載　泡沫做大大時代

誰都知身價可升可跌是場競賽

倒一個總有個起來

時代再大也都斗膽去改

強人千支招惹　別人劇鬥是人造天災

黃金的身價可升可跌令人恨愛

歌曲裡怎去躲開　不去競賽

隨潮流浮動見頂多好彩

哪裡都會是舞台

黃金的機會裡　最終主宰的是誰

什麼都追隨　不理會幾歲

迎面有煙花散開　落到海上現實未存在

夢想到超買即使　未能盛載　泡沫做大大時代

黃金的身價可升可跌令人恨愛

歌曲裡怎去躲開　不去競賽

隨潮流浮動見頂多好彩

哪裡都會是舞台

平凡人從未了解多精彩

其實最重要的不要亦會來
