A Song a day: 17th Aug 2013 (露西 (3,180,000 B.C. - )

The song that I chose for today is “露西 (3,180,000 B.C. - )” by Candy Lo. This song was from 2005, so it is rather old. The direct English translation of the title is “Lucy (3,180,000 B.C. - )”.

Personally, I don’t fully understand the lyrics. From what I know, the name “Lucy” in the title is making reference to the corpse of the hominid found in Ethiopia, it was named as Lucy and found to be 4 to 2.7 million years old. From my understanding, the lyrics are about the protagonist thinks that the world that we are living in today is very complex. She sees that technology have improved our life, move us from cave to house, but the society is getting more and more complex. So she wishes that they can go back in time, living in the pre-historic time. Hope you will the song.
