9th Sep 2013 (六月 – Pong Nan)

The song that I chose for today is “六月” by Pong Nan. This is one of my favourite songs. The direct English translation of the title is “June”. Note that the title “六月” somewhat link to the Chinese phase “六月飛霜”. This phase literally means snowing in June. But this phase really means that something abnormal is happening, usually taken as the ‘sky’ is trying to tell us something. The reason for this meaning is that in China, June is summer, so it is impossible to snow. So this phase is used for impossible situation or something sad had happened.

The lyrics of the song are about life and sadness. It begins telling us that please not be angry that we are born in a sad era, there are no forever goods as time will past, just like snow might suddenly start falling in June. In that case, just enjoy the scenery. Sadness, just happened to be the most beautiful thing, often excited many people as many people will pity you. Your tears are shining, and caught many attention and enjoyment. We shout at the sky, but the sky never responds. Perhaps it thinks human being is just a joke. We wanted to be happy every day, but we are living in a sad world, it is not up to us to choose whether to be happy or not. There are many things that we need to give up and forget. We wanted to stop crying and not worry about anything, but to do that perhaps we need to treat cruelty as a joke first. Then we will never be scare about anything. Hope you will like the song.
