3rd Sep 2017 (我錯 – J.Arie (雷琛瑜))

The song for today is “我錯” by J.Arie. This is a reader request :) It is a theme song for a movie. The direct English translation of the title is “My fault”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist need to leave her other half, but she is worry that he couldn’t let her go. She said: “Breathing will have an end, why it is so hard to accept. Assume that after getting rid of me, everything will be as good as before. Wanted to be together for ever, and lover never be apart. Together for live, knowing that it will be boring, but it will not be enough. If I leave now, please don’t hold onto your sadness. Really, you can change to another partner at night. The bad luck bumped into me, and destroyed me. No sadness, but I worry about you. Don’t know whether time could heal you. You never tasted the feeling of lost, the feeling of losing. Without me, who you can rely on. Scare to think of me, as the smile will feel like it lacks something. If I leave now, the stupidest thing is to frown. Turned around and to see the other opponent. The bad luck bumped into me, and destroyed me. No sadness, but I worry about you. Really, the happy me, already gained too much. You never blamed anyone, you said that you are lucky to have me this lifetime, so stupid. Sadness and happiness are all surrounded me. Protected me until today is enough. Loved me too much, loved me too much, making me not wasted my life. Loved me too much, loved me too much, obsessed with me. Know me too well, known me too well, if you aren’t happy, my fault.” Hope you will like the song.,

20th Aug 2017 (有淚多好 – Phil Lam)

The song for today is “有淚多好” by Phil Lam. I heard this song on TV today and I really like it. The direct English translation of the title is “So good to have tears”

The lyrics of the song are about how we should appreciate things, having tears means that we have feelings, we didn’t just let things passes by like it was unrelated to us. The protagonist said: “That day when I graduated, I through the hat to the sunny sky. I cried, as I could never let go of that happiness on my face. I was so fresh, didn’t know the danger, so always been the target to made fun of. Sad, looking through the mirror, with tears I gain my spirit, unlimitedly. Couldn’t forget the feeling of departing with my best friend. Unnoticedly, parents aged, and I felt hurt. So, my eyes need to have tears to come out. Remind me that the feelings in my life are all ok, haven’t lost them yet. Looking up and see the light, so I know I need to treasure my tears, accompanying me through the beauty, ugly, sadness, happiness, coldness, warm, business and the downfall. Being numb is very scary. Thanks to have tears accompanying me, searching for the proof of growing up. The moment when I break up, the sky turned dark, so sad. Crying without words, hard to understand how to forget the person that I love. Once we entered, then we will have the upper hand, easily to get closer. Ended, you and I are both exhausted, a team of famous person. We will hold up the winning cup, and hug. So, my eyes need to have tears to come out. Remind me that the feelings in my life are all ok, haven’t lost them yet. Looking up and see the light, so I know I need to treasure my tears, accompanying me through the beauty, ugly, sadness, happiness, coldness, warm, business and the downfall. If I have to keep living, unavoidably I have to love and hate someone. Emotions shaken everything, the ground break, the sky opened by the thunder. The wind blow, the flower dropped from the tree, the sea splashed water. A cup dried, it contained my tears. Still got heart, still got life, then quickly catch up. So, my eyes need to have tears to come out. Remind me that life is full of ups and downs, need to able to accept it, to let it go. Looking up and see the light, so I know I need to treasure my tears, accompanying me through the beauty, ugly, sadness, happiness, coldness, warm, business and the downfall. The mist that existed, thanks for the company of tears, become the proof of memories.” Hope you will like the song.

13th Aug 2017 (愛近在眼前 – Stephanie Ho)

The song for this week is a reader request. The song is “愛近在眼前” by Stephanie Ho, it is the ending theme song for a TVB drama. The direct English translation of the title is “Love is close to the eyes”.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist looking for love. She said: “In the dark, accompanying to my side, no matter how scary the reality is. Nothing to worry, even it is all dark. Very brave, even though still crazy. Sour, bitter and hot are all sweet. Take that as a memento, and uses it as a shield. Need to be a bit more self-confident, a bit more tough, get ready for the fight. Praise and applause, I will still be willing to be behind your back. So when day time passes and the stars covered the sky, then I could see the light. There are some unforgettable wounds, I wish that I could have your encouragement. With the time disappearing and it is the moment to leave, then you realised that you couldn’t let go. Love can use to fix everything, the simplest thing still remains its beauty. In the light, the only spot, even though it is right in front of you. Twinkling, sadly never noticed. Very brave, even though still crazy, I am in front of you now. Sympathy or nostalgia, differ only by a thin line. Ring, mist and smoke; clouds, covering the eyesight. I wish that every day we could be together discover many different colours. So when day time passes and the stars covered the sky, then I could see the light. There are some unforgettable wounds, I wish that I could have your encouragement. With the time disappearing, it is the moment to leave, then you realised that you couldn’t let go. Love can use to fix everything, the simplest thing still remains its beauty. No need to bring up the sadness, the voice of the heart is slowly being covered. Never thought to leave behind a legend, only wish to see the bottom of your heart. So when the day time passes and the stars covered the sky, then I could see the light. There are some unforgettable wounds, I wish that I could have your encouragement. With the time disappearing, it was once closed, but now reopened. Small but valuable, I can be average but at the same time beautiful.” Hope you will like the song.

2nd Aug 2017 (失魂記 – Hacken Lee)

Hello everyone, blog alive again lol Thanks for all of your emails, I didn’t have the chance to reply you all one by one. I am fine and in one-piece :) I actually move houses around 1-2 months ago as the places that I was living in was always a temporary place and it was quite expensive. Not like my current place is cheap (as properties pricing in Hong Kong, but buying and renting, are crazy high….), but at least a fair amount cheaper than the place before. So ever since I moved, I got the bad habit of going onto Taobao everyday to buy my furniture, which consumed pretty much all my free time lol. Things are so cheap there that even when I have to pay for shipping to Hong Kong from China, it is still significantly cheaper than if I get it from a store in Hong Kong. While my house is still like a prehistoric cave with things everything (as I am still trying to buy stuff to store them probably) at lease now I can call this place home. I probably wouldn’t be able to update this blog as often as I used to, but I will try to make at least one post per week :)

Anyway, back to the tradition, the song post :) The song for today is “失魂記” by Hacken Lee. I would translate the title as “Tales of losing the spirit”. It is a very touching song. The lyrics are about dementia. But it is talking about dementia from the perspective of the caretaker. It talks about the different life events that they been through together and how now the patient seems to have forgotten all about it, even her partner, the caretaker, yet he is still on her side fulfilling his promise. The caretaker said: “You remembered? The witness of the happy marriage. The moment when we ate white bread when we got sick. The time when you accompanied me even when I was poor and down. Today, you remembered? The most stressful moment, the micro movement of our kids under ultrasound. The feeling of being a mother? Remembered the wrong face; remembered the wrong address. Forgot how to call me. Which of those feeling would you still clearly remembered? Forgot to take medicine, forgot about your age, you are like a kid going to classes. Even if you forgot about me for the rest of your life, I will still be with you. So please don’t worry about bothering me. You remembered? The moment when you were self-willed. It was a pointless incident that we argued. It was nonsense, but it was touching. Didn’t know, didn’t know that you already don’t know. Happy, argued, loved, picky, confused, I will accompany you to remember, remember, remember. Blurrily remember, even though there is only me.  Remembered the wrong face; remembered the wrong address. Forgot how to call me. Which of those feeling would you still clearly remembered? Forgot to take medicine, forgot about your age, you are like a kid skipping classes. That moment remembered me, then the next forgot about me, still ok. You remembered? The happiness of our golden wedding anniversary. Time flies. Even if you couldn’t remember, they were real. Wish that I will remember you, and accompany you to the haven.” Hope you will like this song.

14th Apr 2017 (錯的情・錯的人 – ShowOff)

I am back :D My life have been taken over by work, with the holiday, hopefully I could write a few more blog posts. As mentioned from the last post around a month ago, I will talk about “鍾乜乜” and ShowOff. I have actually heard of ShowOff last year, there were formed as a concept music group. They consist of a lot of members, there are no fixed main vocal. From memory, they have to battel to become the key vocalist for each song. 鍾乜乜 was the main vocalist of their first song. His stage name “鍾乜乜” literally means “Chung something something”. From memory, he chose this stage name because he believes that most people wouldn’t remember his name, so may as well just called himself “Chung something something”. The song for today is “錯的情・錯的人” translated as “Wrong relationshipWrong person”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. It said: “After this time, I don’t want it to end suddenly. Please don’t say that the heart hasn’t changed a single bit. Thanks for being so cruel, so that I would not uphold. My heart is dead, perhaps you had predicted? At least this time it gave me a chance to release my emotion, to clear out those incidents of the mortal world. The dream of us to spent the rest of our life together, after living for over half my life, the dream never get anywhere. How to say this, it will never have any chance. Said a reason, say it with sincere. If I know that no matter how many times I try, how many times I failed, all I would get is sadness. Said a reason, so even if I missed out I would still be excited. So I am still human. After this time, I don’t want it to end suddenly. Clear out those incidents of the mortal world. Not wasting the chance that we had before, change the position so that I can let you win. Heart was long dead, why still be in love. No need to give a reason, no need to pretend to be truthful. If you know that no matter how many times we tried, I would still not be able to make you to believe in fate. No need to say a reason, facing your back I shake. No need to wait for the wrong person. Deeply angered, in exchange for love. Ended without hope; only wished that ever of my relationship could be like that relay. All fallen into the red sea. Love, so many feeling (more reasons, more cruel. Using my life to experience, all the sadness and anger, to understand that this is call fate. No need for a reason, getting rid of this addiction. The wrong relationship, couldn’t catch; the wrong person, wait for a life.” Hope you will like the song as much as I do.

12th Mar 2017 (哪裡只得我共你 – Dear Jane)

Last night when I was walking along Tsim Sha Tsui, I stumble across a band playing on the street, they call themselves “Red house” (you can find more info of them here: https://www.facebook.com/redhousehk/?ref=page_internal). I really liked their performant. I also found out that their vocalist also performed under the name “鍾乜乜” for another music group call “showoff”. (I may talk about his song another day). One of the cover song that I really liked las night was “哪裡只得我共你” by Dear Jane. The direct English translation of the title is “There is only you and me” (officially, the English title is “You & me”).

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said: “Kissed, then I can confirmed that me and you could live together and die together. While on holiday, visiting tourist attraction, me and you can be together from now on. Around us, so many people wear mask. Too many wounds in our heart, couldn’t wait for elopement. I need to save you, escaping the craziness of the human world. Using my own hand to get you away. No fighting, only attached together. Never put my head down, even we face a million wounds. Standing behind me, I need to make sure that you will have nothing to worry about. Not listening to gossips, if you are good, then that’s enough. Keep loving, then I am glade that me and you can be happy together and cry together. With the outside world, not isolated, me and you could stop breathing. Around us are so many judgements, interfering our sensitive life, don’t want to be too awake. I need to save you, escaping the craziness of the human world. Using my own hand to get you away. No fighting, only attached together. Never put my head down, even we face a million wounds. Standing behind me, I need to make sure that you will have nothing to worry about. Not listening to gossips, if you are good, then that’s enough. At that place, no one will be disliked, there no one will be bullied. Romantic for life, there will only be me and you, better than the best sunrise. I need to save you, escaping the craziness of the human world. Using my own hand to get you away. No fighting, only attached together. Never put my head down, even we face a million wounds. Standing behind me, I need to make sure that you will have nothing to worry about. Not listening to gossips, if you are good, then that’s enough. Living, just like this love to death, it would be enough.” Hope you will like this song.

24th Feb 2017 (等你回來 – Jacky Cheung)

Hello reader, sorry for not posting anything for the last 3 weeks, I have finally returned :D I have finally moved to Hong Kong. It took me a while to pack, moved and settled down. Work in Hong Kong are surely much more demanding, I often go home after 6:30pm, but the beauty is that even when I go home so late, many shops were still opened so I could still shop around. I am still very busy, so probably wouldn’t be able to write post as frequently as before, but I will try to write a post when I got some free time.

Enough, let’s get into the song. To fit my return theme lol I have chosen “等你回來” by Jacky Cheng. The direct English translation of the title is “Waiting for you to come back”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. It said: “Helpless is the endless wait; helpless is when we are in love yet we have to be apart. Even when the road is far, I am waiting for you to return in my heart. Looking forward is like gazing at the sea. So leaving made us realised the patience of love. So leaving doesn’t bring any sadness. Maybe I am not used to all the trouble, but I know there are fate in life. With you I understand that love will never change. With you, we will search for the courage of being alone. With you we will share the pain of separation. The world within our heart is a place that is full of love. Looking forward to be closely together again in the future. So leaving make us have more love in our heart. So after goodbye make us realised how colourful love is. Wish that we could always be in love, with true heart we could find our future. With you I understand that love will never change. With you, we will search for the courage of being alone. With you we will share the pain of separation. The world within our heart is a place that is full of love. Looking forward to be closely together again in the future. Looking forward to be closely together again in the future.” Hope you will like the song.

3rd Feb 2017 (秋止符 – Hacken Lee)

The song for today is “秋止符” by Hacken Lee. This song I believe is a Cantonese cover of a Japanese song, however I was unable to track down the original version. The title is a bit hard to translate. The title resembles the phase “休止符” meaning a rest note in a music script. As “” means autumn, the title mean “A break in autumn”.

This song is a hidden gem. It is a very unpopular song, one that was never plugged on radio or TV station, not a song that got sung during concert. I came across this song the other day when I was ripping it from my CD and I fall in love with it. It got such potential to be a hit song. The lyrics of the song uses autumn to describe love. The protagonist said: “No need for the foliage to fall to remind me. Know it is autumn, know it is autumn. No need for the foliage to dry up to tell me, that she left, that she left. Perhaps I needed to cry so that people would believe that I love her as before? Perhaps when there is a crack in love, crying to heal it? If autumn have heart, I wish you know that spring plus heart is worry (in this they are referring to the words. Autumn (), heart () and worry ()). Please don’t stay, asked when will you rest. Run, quickly run. Summer passes by, just wanted winter to return quickly. My mind is full of worry, it is enough to regret for life. This is the time, the break of autumn started to play again, heart will not rest, heart will not rest. This is the time, hold onto the relationship from the past, the love from the past; couldn’t get rid of it, couldn’t get rid of it. Wishing that if I can see her again, she would accept me once more. For the cracks from the past, let’s fix it together. Remembered on that day when I said to breakup, I said it because I lost control of myself. This moment, I wish you could understand how regret I felt.” Hope you will like this song.

28th Jan 2017 (有一種快樂 – Sammi Cheng)

Happy Chinese New Year!!! Wish you and your family to have a great year ahead!!! The song for today is “有一種快樂” by Sammi Cheng. The direct English translation of the title is “A type of happiness”.

The lyrics of the song talk about happiness could be very simple. It should be note that this song was from Sammi’s region focus album “Faith”, so the song has values that aligned with Christianity believe. The protagonist said: “From the time I fallen into your unfamiliar world, I sign nonstop. I had also gotten my eyes wet. Couldn’t understand why living is so difficult, like rock climbing. Then I looked back to the clothes that I don’t really need, what praise did I get from those. Then I understand you, even though it is bitter, but smiling is more simple than one plus one. From then on, happiness is discovery; raw doesn’t mean unhappy. For rich, the joy is from sharing. You and I got to learn. Being with you is the best type of happiness. So the perfect ambition, doesn’t need to be fight for. The best achievement is to found the mission. Spread warmness and create laughter. Spreading life, all because I am thinking of you, a pure reaction. Able to give is a warm promise. My mood, is very calm. Thank you for making my heart so light that it could fly. Understand what I own, and at the same time, know what to discard. The mountain that I climbed before, they are not very great.” Hope you will like the song.

21st Jan 2017 (每日一禁果 – Tat Ming Pair)

Following my Tat Ming theme from my last post, the song for today is “每日一禁果”. This song was quite popular when it was released a long time ago. The direct English translation of the title is “A forbidden fruit a day”.

The lyrics of the song are about life. The protagonist said: “There was a man in the garden, always asked me what do I want. There was much choice, everyday there was only apple. Everyone said that I was stupid, never thought of the consequences. Chosen mango, I asked whether mango is poisoned. The one that others have, never got anything that attracted me.  It was just Newton who thought too much. Other people couldn’t withstand my choice, tried hard to convince me. Eat apple, to make mango go away from me, to make doctor away from me. There was a man under the grapes, talked something about philosophy. He said that youth is like a fruit, what you grew is what you get. Others saw the seedling, asked me what I grew. If I am not with them, then I become a monster. Lemon and watermelon are both forbidden fruit. Oranges and pomegranate both got tortured. Grapes and banana both got charged, not good together.” Hope you will like the song.

14th Jan 2017 (今夜星光燦爛 – Tat Ming Pair)

The song for today is “今夜星光燦爛” by Tat Ming Pair. I recently have been keep listening to Tat Ming Pair’s songs, and this song is one of those that I looped a lot yet haven’t wrote a post on. The direct English translation of the title is “Tonight the stars are brilliant”.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist meet a girl when he was driving. He didn’t think too much, just feel that perhaps the two of them will go somewhere. But by the end of the ride he realised that he will be disappointed. He said: “The neon made the sky bright, and they also shined the city bright. Lost on the road, just wishes that during this mid night to found a new direction. In the Statue Square (a square in Hong Kong), the lights are dense. Gazing to the shore on the other side, there are lots of light by the sea side. A poignant scene. Just wished to see everything during this dark night. Wish to explore. Following the lead of the light, she approached me. Didn’t asked her name, just wished that she could be wild with me. In the star light, we drove fast. Wishes that the two of us could own the night. Riding this fast car. Speeding in the light; the disappointed kid. Please see this bright city. Keep racing, but questioned in the heart. Worry that the brightness of the city will end now. The end of the red, yellow and green light; the end of the mental world limit. Never scare of the cold night wind, the car never slowed down. An absurd tonight. Going around this city to gaze at this dark night. No last stop. A boring night, the star light cut through the darkness. The elegant city is brilliant, crystal clear and hot. A pair of eye, couldn’t dismissed. Wish that the two of us could rush to this bright light. Fallen in the arms of this night. Speeding in the light; the disappointed kid. Please see this bright city. Keep racing, but questioned in the heart. Worry that the brightness of the city will end now.” Hope you will enjoy this song as much as I do.

A belated Happy New Year!!! The song for today is “終於好天氣” by Charmaine Fong and RubberBand. The direct English translation of the title is “finally good weather”.

The lyrics of the song talk about how bad things, even though they may seem to last forever, but they will eventually end and the good things will arrive. So, I like to use this song to wish everyone of you who might be experiencing something bad to have a blast 2017. The lyrics: “Even today when the cruel snow storm keep pushing; even when this winter felt like it will never end. This minute, the limitless shaking, I realised that my hands are frozen. Even today, if none of the lights are shining; even the darkness make the bird scared and yelled. This minute everyone is frightened, everyone freeze. Wish that you could withstand for another second, as the darkness will soon back off. Wish that you could withstand for another second, as a second later it will become tomorrow morning. Don’t be afraid, at the lowest point, you could rebound and fly up high. There are never a tragic that last forever, get up from the mud and bravely stand up. Don’t be afraid, change the beat and extracted out the sadness. At this low point, let’s push together and become someone great. Finally got good weather. Don’t be afraid, even when hopeless want to conquer you. Even if there are more tragic, nothing can stop you creating your life story. Hey hey. Don’t be afraid, change the beat and extracted out the sadness. At this low point, let’s push together and become someone great. Finally got good weather. Di dum good weather. Di dum good weather. Di dum good weather. Di dum good weather.” Hope you will like the song.
