Hi everyone, I am posting a few songs a week onto this blog. Hope you will like my pick for the day. Feel free to post links for songs that you think are related to my pick :D
The
song for today is “冷熱之間” by Chet Lam. Officially the
English title is “All this time”, but the direct English translation of the Chinese
title is “In between cold and hot”.
The
lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said, it could never be
predicted that he is so lucky to meet her. Oh my god, he suddently found the
direction. He always be careful, even if the story is so old school; he couldn’t
be a disgraced, as he care about his image. If too close he will go crazy, but
too far he would be hard to discovered. Laughing happily and he would worry
that it is too dramatic. Accidentally, their eyesight meet, he felt that as if
the world stay still. He wishes that
this moment could be longer. He is about to lose his senses, and he is getting
lost. Worrying, and thinking too much. Between calm and passionate, would he do
something wrong? But loving her, it will never be wrong. The happiness and
sadness from the past all flashes away, while he is worry, he think even more.
In between calm and passionate, decision time will flashes away. Love her, love
her, love her, if it is wrong, so what. Hope you will like the song.
The
song that I chose for today is “靜止 (給時間)” by Chet Lam. The direct English
translation of the title is “Still (give time)”.
The
lyrics of the song are about relaxing. It said wind will blow, cloud will float
and time is till. How much higher did the flower and grass next to the river
growth? Bird flew away due to the season, and all it left is a clear land. Let
forget about the stressful things for a while. Fallen leave will follow the
river to float to the mountain far away. How many of those flower and glass
next the river have die. So still that it is like a picture, like nothing have
changed. Time has calmed everything down. Sometime the tree will fall down, and
the sky will brighten up. Sometime tears will drop, so don’t be too stress. Sometime
without music but your heart could lightly sing. In dead silence, people passes
by. Oh, sometime tree will fall, and quiet as usual. Hope you will like the
song.
The
song that I chose for today is “數三聲(給神經緊張的你)”
by Chet Lam. The direct English translation of the title is “Count to three (to
the nervous you)”. I am so nervous and feel so much pressure today, my deadline
for my thesis is approaching in around two months’ time, but yet I still got so
much to do, so much to complete is such a short time. It feels likes as if the
whole world is sitting on me, making me can’t breathe. So I search for a song
that I hope can help me to relax a bit as I know feeling pressurised is not
going to make it any better and I found this song.
The
lyrics of the song tell us to relax from our pressure. To be honest, it feels a
bit touching as it makes me feel that I am not alone. The lyrics start off saying
that losing our memory, losing our voice, losing our love on and worry that we
will lose our happiness. Every of these problems have their own characteristic
and they make us feel tired. Sometime, we dreamed too much, wishes we have this
and that and worried that we still haven’t found out love one. Now count to
three, take a deep breath and they will be all gone. We might be worry about
aging, worry about pain, worry about being bored to dead. Sometime we force
ourselves to tolerate, force ourselves to move forward, force ourselves to get
more results and at the end we force ourselves to death. Count to three and we
are still alive, so there is no need to get angry. Perhaps there is no sunshine
on our path, can’t hide from the bad weather and no one will understand how tired
you are. But being worry and getting angry would age you quicker. Impatient,
getting down and heart broken and the bad luck arrived, but remember if we are
too hungry our brain would not function well. Nervous, depress and worry too
much making you about to fall. Just count to three and laugh, you wouldn’t lose
a single cell. The world might continue to get worse and you might continue to
suffer. But you will have the strength to count to three and laugh when you
have learnt how to laugh.
Although
I am still nervous and worry after listing to the song, but it makes me feel a
bit better. At least I now feel I got the courage to keep going. I guess we
felt worry because we think that what we are about to face it something that we
can’t handle or something that will rarely happen in our life. But really,
things like this always happened in our life, and as a human, we really have no
choice but to face the problem. We might think that we can try to avoid a
problem by running away, but by taking a different route, we will eventually
face a similar problem. We can’t keep running away for the rest of our lives,
so perhaps we should take out some courage and face the problem once and for
all. Then at least we know will have one less problem to worry about. Hope you
will enjoy the song.
The
song that I chose for today is “離開,是為了回來” by Chet Lam. Today is
the last day of my 1 month long holiday, I really wish that I could stay longer, I
missed all my friends here, but I guess I really just wanted to escape from my
study life. Anyway, this song is dedicated to my friends, I really like to
thanks you all making my holiday fun and enjoyable, seeing all of you really
make me feel that I have travelled back in time and reminded me of the good old
days when we can still afford to have fun. Back to the song, the direct translation
of the title is “leaving, is for the sake of returning”.
The
lyrics of the song actually describe the protagonist leaving a place for
holiday to heal his wounds for breaking up with his girlfriend. In the lyrics
it said that he is leaving for holiday tomorrow, his friends wish him to have a
happy holiday. He can choose to stay, but leaving perhaps is a way to release
his pressure and sadness. He wishes he could travel with some, but it is too
late now as he had already left. He told himself that many people in his life
can’t stay with him forever, and there are always regrets that we can’t fix,
perhaps we should learn how to leave it behind. But he realised that he is too
weak to take this to action, and he just tried to act tough in front of others.
So he told himself, if ending is for restarting, finishing a drink is for
refilling, then raining is for us to treasure the sunny day and the short period
of happiness is for us to recall it many many times, so perhaps leaving is for
returning. Hopefully you will like the
song.
The
song that I chose for today is “重回布拉格” by Chet Lam. Chet is one of the
more popular indie singers in Hong Kong. Most of his songs are not too popular,
but they are quite unique. To me his songs are usually very relaxing. The English
translation of the title is “Back to Prague”.
The
lyrics of the song are about memory. The protagonist travelled to Prague, and
found that the city hasn’t changed a bit. While he walked pass a coffee shop,
he thought he saw his ex-girlfriend, and he started to remember the things that
they did together when they were in Prague. He told us that he will only
remember the good time that they had. At the end of the song, he finally let go
of this relationship and tried to move on. Hope you will like the song.
