23th Oct 2013 (半邊生命 – Edmond Leung)

The song that I chose for today is “半邊生命” by Edmond Leung. This is a new song, it still haven’t come out on album yet. The direct English translation of the title is “Half of our life”.

The lyrics are about love. It start off with the protagonist telling us that him and her become couple was because they wanted to hug each other at the lowest temperature night in history. That night he knows that it was too cold and he can’t live by himself. If they lost each other, he knows that he will not be able to find her again. All these years they have been together. Every time, when he was tired, he can keep going as he knows that he could lost his world anytime. But when he is with her, they act as one, then nothing else seems to matter. When they hug, it is hard to separate them, they are fused together. When they hug, he felt that as if he emerged into her sigh, her shadow, her situation; just felt like he own half of her life. It was silence and beautiful, they don’t need to communicate but they understand each other. Every couple, when their love ends, they say good bye and hug each other like a friend. Every time he saw her carrying her suit case to cross custom, he got worried. These years, she had been with her. When he was out there alone he understand that he can keep going as he knows that he could lost everything in any second. But when they are together, they fused as one. Even when they are hurt, they wouldn’t need medicine to heal. How many times did we say we only love you for the rest of our life, perhaps it is better to just give her our hug. The warmest thing on Earth is our body, so we can share our happiness, sadness and hug each other. He swear that he will take care of her for the rest of his life, but it is not better than creating a home with her. When they hug, they fused as one. There is no need to prove their love, as they know through their hug. Hope you will like the song.
