8th Nov 2012 (愈想愈無謂 – Eason Chan/ Mr. Lonely - Koji Tamaki 玉置浩二)

The song that I chose for today is “愈想愈無謂” by Eason Chan. This is a very old song, it was produced when Eason was still in his first music company. I think it was one of the songs in his first 3 album. Not too many people know this song, as it wasn’t a song that the music company sent to TV and radio station for promotion. Personally I think it is very good. This song is actually a cover version of “Mr. Lonely” by a famous Japanese singer Koji Tamaki (玉置浩二). If you look back in the music in the 80’s and 90’s many popular songs in Hong Kong were actually cover version of Japanese songs. Perhaps many people didn’t care about the original singer of the Japanese songs, but many of those Chinese cover song were originally sung by Koji Tamaki, either under his name or under his band’s name Anzen Chitai (安全地帶). The English translation of Eason’s version is “More you think about it, more it became unnecessary”

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist had fallen in love with a person that don’t love him. He could have said good bye to her, but he wanted to drag this on as he don’t want to break up with his girlfriend. He figured out that he actually never made it into her girlfriend list, but it’s too late for him as his girlfriend had already berated him. He have just started to give her everything that he got, but it is at this point he realised that he had fallen in love with the wrong person. He question about this relationship, but he told himself not to think about it, as more he think more unnecessary it became. I hope you will enjoy this song. By the way, I have also link Koji Tamaki's original just in case you are interested.
