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.
