10th July 2014 (柯德莉夏萍穿過的鞋 – Priscilla Chan)

The song for today is “柯德莉夏萍穿過的鞋” by Priscilla Chan. This is another song from Priscilla’s “情意結” album. The direct English translation of the title is “Shoes that Audrey Hepburn had worn”. I personally think that this song should catch more attention. This song was a side track from the album, but it got a very unusual but easily approachable melody which I think it got the quality to be a hit song.

The lyrics of the song are about love. It said: this pair perhaps is too working style. That pair perhaps could create noise. This pair is suitable to wear for big performance. But which pair will make her walk as elegantly as Audrey Hepburn? This pair is too bright, just like it tried to give out everything, making her looks like she wanted to catch all his attention in one night. That pair perhaps could be put at the display window, but if she wears it, it will make her uncomfortable and feels like her soul leave her body. Yes, she wanted him to fall in love with her. Stepping onto the sky garden, this date perhaps could exchange for a limited amount of warm, but will come will limitless pain. Perhaps he will fly to New York to greet her and make her doesn’t know how to respond. This journey is like traveling from North Point (a place in Hong Kong) to heaven; no matter which shoes that she wears, it will still be far away. Maybe that pair is for her wedding. Choosing again and again, but there are no contestant that could make it into the final. This pair may not make her life beautiful. She wishes that she could be like Audrey Hepburn, calm but attracted everyone in the world. Who every wanted to go into the contest, they need to calculated every possibilities. If they aren’t glamorous enough then they deserve to be dumped. There would be no need to wear shoes, just skip your date. Hope you will like the song.
