22nd Nov 2012 (夕陽、家鄉 – Monica Chan)

The song that I chose for today is “夕陽、家鄉” by Monica Chan. This song is very old. I guess many people don’t know who Monica is. Monica started her career in the early 80’s. She was in the same company as Priscilla Chan and they were under the same manager. At the beginning, their manager put them together with Luisa Lai and produced an EP (only have around 4 songs). But later on the company gone bankruptcy. Priscilla was the luckier one, she happened to make her name before the company gone bankrupt, so she got an contract from Polygram (now become part of Universal Music). Luisa Lai went into the television side of things and she is now a TV host in TVB (the biggest television broadcasting company in Hong Kong). I think for Monica, she decided to quit.

The title of the song in English is “Sunset, Home”. The lyrics are about love. The lyrics are a bit complex, so I hope I am getting it correct. What I think it is about is that the protagonist is thinking back her first love. She know that it is over, so she is not so much regretting, but just think of it as she wanted to go back to those time and enjoy it again. Hope you will like the song.
