13th Mar 2013 (不再問究竟 – Danny Chan)

The song that I chose for today is “不再問究竟” by Danny Chan. This is a classic from Danny. This song is very old, however, a few years ago, Edmond Leung make a new song that uses the same or a similar melody and continued the story of the song. I will reserve that song for another day. The direct English translation of the title is “Will not ask why again”.

The lyrics of the song are about breaking up. At the start of the song, the protagonist was gazing at the sky, counting the stars. Standing in the street by himself and thinking of her. Suddenly, a kid came out from nowhere stepping on his shadow, and asked him why his eyes are red and swollen like he just cried. He forced a smile on his face and gently rubs his eyes and explains to the kid that he got tears in his eyes because there was some dust got into his eyes. He looked at the sky again, realising that it will be very difficult for him to calm down tonight. The kid next to him was so bored that he starts jumping rope. The kid asked why he gazed at the stars, is it because he wanted to catch the stars. Again he rubs his eyes and smile at the kid. Now it leaves him no choice but to play with this kid in hope that he will not ask again. Hope you will like the song.
