23rd Sep 2014 (情非得已 – Harlem Yu)

The song for today is “情非得已” by Harlem Yu. This song was the theme song for the Taiwanese drama “流星花園” (“Meteor Garden”) back in 2001. The drama was based on a Japanese comic and it was a big success. The title is a bit hard to translate into English as it is a Chinese phrase, it means “As a last resort, I have to do it”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said that it is hard for him to forget about her attractive eyes. In his mind, her outline just couldn’t disappear. Holding her hands, he could feel her tenderness, and he starting to feel that he can’t breathe. He wanted to value her naïve, seeing her being hurt he felt sad. He is worry that he will love her so he is not daring to let himself to get close to her. He worries that he couldn’t give her anything, as loving her need a lot of courage. He is worry that he will fall in love with her, perhaps one day he will not be able to control himself. Thinking gives himself pain. So loving her is his last resort. He wonders what lead him to meet her again. HE really doesn’t wanted to fall into a love trap like this. So loving her is really his last resort. Hope you will like the song.
