16th Nov 2013 (痴情夢醒 – Priscilla Chan)

The song that I chose for today is "痴情夢醒” by Priscilla Chan. This is one of the 4 songs that were in Priscilla’s first album. Not many people know about this album, firstly it is because that it wasn’t her solo album, it was an album with three different singer. Secondly, out of the 4 songs, only two of those were in Cantonese, the other two were in Japanese. The direct English translation of the title is “Awaken from a love dream”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. It begins by telling us that there were many relationships in the past. When they breakup, they couldn’t remember the happiness that they had. Tears dropped and so painful that can’t keep quiet, imprinted this sadness in our memories. At the beginning of the story, it was created by the protagonist and her boyfriend. There were tender and laughter. She only wishes that he could stay with her. But now, everything had past, and her heart is dead. She wishes that all her memories could be wiped. Who was the person that got us in love and then called upon sadness? Who would understand the sadness in love? The love is already cooled off and become ice cold. So please let go even if you don’t want to as you must wake up from your dream. Hope you will like the song.

I guess that this song is very unpopular, so I can’t find the music video for this song from YouTube, but I managed to found the audio only version from another website.
