22nd Apr 2013 (獨立宣言 – William So)

The song that I chose for today is “獨立宣言” by William So. William had been singing for many years. Not sure whether he is unlucky or just that his songs never catch the heart of the majority, he was never really shining bright. He is well recognised for his singing skill, but it seems hard for him to hold his fame for a long time. Two years ago, he had a very popular song “那誰”. Everything was going well for him, but since then I haven’t really heard about him apart from the Big4 concert (William is part of Big4). If he produced songs more frequently, I guess he would have been very popular by now. Back to the song, the direct English translation of the title is “Independent speech”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. At the beginning of the song, the protagonist said that he is used to hugging with his girlfriend and seems to get used to being loved by her. Although he said that he should felt happy about this as he could be lucky to find someone that he love, he started to worry that her love will block him from the road of success in his job. He felt that her love had made him to forget about chasing after his dreams. So he tried to take one step from their relationship, so that they don’t rely on each other so much. Perhaps meeting once a while would be the way to keep their love going. HE said that there is no need for them to love each other until they die and there are other things apart from love. Perhaps they should individually enjoyed their life and meet up once a while to catch-up. So perhaps we should let go. Hope you will enjoy the song.
