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.
