A Song a day: 1st Feb 2015 (心病

Today the song that I chose is “心病” by Joey Yung. This song was used in the ad of “幸福傷風素” (it is a medicine for cold, made by “Fortune Pharmacal” in Hong Kong). If I remember correctly, the first song that was used for advertising for this medicine was “感冒” by Karen Tong. The direct English translation of the title is “Heart disease”.

The lyrics of the song are about sickness and love. The protagonist said it is worth it to catch a cold, as it is like a holiday in bed. Slowly stop for a while to get the taste of recovering from a breakup. Thinking about herself, she wonders how she could endlessly think of him through the pain, and was never been able to pull herself away. From now on, it should end, she should stop dragging it on, using breakup as an excuse. Who haven’t been through this before? Those people didn’t die from it. How many days of sick leave does she still have? Why does it take so long to recover? She need to set a deadline to stop thinking of him, and after the deadline forget about this sadness. Tomorrow, she will go back to work, focusing on the future and wouldn’t have time to worry about it. If she keeps getting sick, she will never learn to lay it off. The best of breakup is that everyone is willing to accompanying her. They take turns to take care of her, and worry that she will not be able to get up again. She wishes that she could be stronger, as playing the role of sad person is hopeless. If she keeps going this way, she will not be able to find any light. How many days of sick leave does she still have? Why does it take so long to recover? She need to set a deadline to stop thinking of him, and after the deadline forget about this sadness. Tomorrow, she will go back to work, focusing on the future and wouldn’t have time to worry about it. If she keeps getting sick, she will never learn to lay it off. Just a little bit more, stay strong, the sickness will soon disappeared. If it still hasn’t disappeared, not used to it, still complaining and still worry, getting sick again will definitely be worse. If she can choose her fate, she would have tried her best. How could she let herself slack off because of sickness. Live or die, all depends on her to get over the difficulties. Finally she will go back to work, focusing on the future and doesn’t have time to worry. If she keeps getting sick, she will never learn to lay it off. If there is a medicine could help her out, why waited and allowed it to spread? Hope you will like the song.
