12th Dec 2013 (二把 – Louis Yuen (阮兆祥))

The song that I chose for today is “二把” Louis Yuen (阮兆祥). This song is very new. I wanted to talk about it many days ago, but didn’t manage to find it on YouTube until today. Many people know Louis through his TV shows and drama, they would think that he is a good comedy actor. But most people seem to forget that he actually started his career as a singer. Like many other singers back in the 80’s/90’s, as there were far too many singers there was a huge competition and only those that could make money were able to stay. Louis wasn’t so lucky but he decided to step into the TV industry and make his career. While many people think that this song is probably one of those funny songs, he actually sings this song very seriously. You can hear that his tone is different than his usual comedy tone. I personally really like this song. The title is “Second”, which I think in some way talked about his career life.

The lyrics, I think, are about Louis career. It said who would understand what it would be like before they start their journey to become a star. This journey feels unpredictable as you never know what will happen. Time flies, perhaps many of his friends have already reaches their high point, but himself, he is still normal and relaxes. He can still memorise the script for his audience and make them laugh. This he understand that friendship is priceless. Even he is always only second in charge, but he still feels that his life is like a fairy-tale. No matter he faces difficulties or that suddenly he become famous, he will keep going and never slack off. There is always a different between imagination and the reality, and we have to learn how to accept that. At least he still got his audience to love him, so there is nothing to worry about. There are still miles ahead, there will be happiness and sadness, but he believes that the successful day will be ahead. He never stops and never pay much attention to the comments that others gave him as he knows in his heart. He knows that he need to feel good about himself, and that very important. Even if he falls, he needs to be honest, just take that as a page of his script. He is willing to use his life and his true heart to entertain the millions of people that are walking on their own path. Hope you will like the song. I found it very motivating and very positive. I hope Louis could sing more songs like this.
