The
song that I decided to talk about today is “幼稚完” by Raymond Lam. This song
was requested by one of the fellow reader of this blog (see “29th Mar 2012 (單車-Eason Chan)”). It has taken me some time to decide whether I should talk about
this song as I am not a big fan of Raymond. This song was a song from last year
and it was a theme song of a TV drama. The direct English translation of the
title is “Finish being childish”, note that the title is playing with words.
The title pronounces as “kindergarten”, so potentially having double meaning in
the title.
The
lyrics of the song are about love. It begins with the protagonist telling us
that he knows him and her can’t go back to the time when they still deeply love
each other. Time has passed and everyone will have to growth up, but all the
paths goes in different directions. Since then they separated, while she make
her way forward, he childishly remain in the same place. Times make him think
more of his past. He wonders whether she is happy or perhaps she is very busy.
He wonders whether she is still serious all the time. Perhaps she got a new
boyfriend, a mature partner, so mature that he doesn’t argue with you. It is
that the protagonist is resisting to growth up? He is still thinking about their
past, still naïve enough to think of her. Now he is has moved into a new home,
but she still kept their old sofa. Perhaps she knows that when he falls, he
likes to think of her, and also think of her when he is tired. He is still
questing whether he is resisting to growth up. Hasn’t he learnt how to pretend
to be happy? Time flies and he is already grownup, but he see people being
stupid, so stupid that he wanted to cry. It is such a crazy world. So please
let me finish being so naïve, so that he could get what he wished for, to meet
her again. If there is a time machine in front of him, he wonders whether he
could be naïve once more. Hope you will like the song.
幼稚完 – Raymond Lam
I was in love with this song for quite some time too after watching the TVB drama series "Highs and Lows" which also features this song.:)
