20th Aug 2014 (石頭記 – Tat Ming Pair)

The song for today is “石頭記” by Tat Ming Pair (達明一派). This song is one of their iconic songs. It was a big hit back in the late 80’s. The direct English translation of the title is “The Story of the stone”.

The lyrics of the song are about life, and they are a bit abstract so sometime it doesn’t seems to make too much sense after translation. The protagonist said that he is sick of watching the wind blow on the snow; it got thicker, shoes broken and the road got wet. Then gazing at the mountain far away, the wind blow on the weak willow; he once enjoyed the scenery alone, when he was sick and weak. Suddenly, he heard that music lightly float into his ears; he dance randomly, and his cloths got untidy. He wanted to dump his thought, but they are so fake that it feels so real. In the old study room, this old dreams of his keeps recurring. He wanted to drink down the alcohol with the hard decision, but who would have thought that it would leave a scar. Counting bit by bit, but at the end it differ by so much. Change and turn, and become a new relationship. Wanted to get married, but after the warm spring, it changes. Real and fake, we realised that sadness, happiness, grace and hatred are all fake. Hopefully you will enjoy the song.
