24th Dec 2014 (底線 – Corinna Chamberlain)

The song for today is “底線” by Corinna Chamberlain (陳明恩). This is a song was released earlier last year. The direct English translation of the title is “Bottom line”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said that she wishes one day she could found a love that is strong against any challenge. After saying goodbye to winter, but her dream still haven’t come true. She can’t wait until spring. It is still a long way, and she still hasn’t reach the end, but she will keep going. On that day, the one that she had been waiting for appeared in front of her. But she sees it through, she understand that all he wanted from the beginning is to be able to be her friend. So in the real world, there isn’t much love left. Why the weather always changed, all she wanted is to be with him on sunny days. But she still can’t forget to move toward him. If he moves away, she wonders whether he could leave a trail behind. She wants to hug him when she sleeps. Why is it so hard for her to remove the identity of being his shadow and let him moved away? She is still dreaming about it now, but she knows that there must be a bottom line. Being lonely got her thinking that perhaps she tried too hard to find love. Perhaps there are some flaws that she has that make him dislike her. She tried to change her thought, and pretend that it was just a journey. But sadly, she is already tired, and she doesn’t know how much longer she could last. She still wishes that perhaps in the future he will return and start with her once again. The story ended, but not ended. Let it go, she cancelled this thought. There will always be changes, and one day it will come. Hope you will like the song.

19th Feb 2013 (異種 – Corinna Chamberlain (陳明恩))

The song that I chose for today is “異種” by Corinna Chamberlain (陳明恩). This is the first time I hear her sing. She got a rather unique background as a singer in Hong Kong. She was born and grown up in Hong Kong, but her parents are from Australia and New Zealand. I guess with her gold hair, you would never be able to guess that she can speak Cantonese. Although her pronunciation on Cantonese is a little off on occasion, but most of the time it is not even noticeable. The direct English translation of the title is “Alien” (note, Alien as in difference type of people, not alien from outer space).

The lyrics of the song are about herself I think. It start off saying that if a girl with gold hair meet a guy with black eyes, will she be loved. An alien travelled from Mars and landed on Earth actually feel very cold. Living in a world with different colour skin, she asked what type of person is she. Yellow or White? No matter what colour skin we have, we still live under the same sky, we will still be hurt if we got rejected. Perhaps no one will understand her, and rumours are out of her control, she still wanted to communicate with this Asian guy, but why he just doesn’t understand. She tried to change for him, but he still rejects her. She reckons that he should be proud to be with her, as he would be brave to show others that he can live differently. But she realised that she is not the type that he wanted. She is the only alien, different to others and can’t be accepted by others. So at the end, she moved on and accepted the fact that she will be alone. The ending of the song is rather sad, I hope this is not how she really feels. Anyway, I hope you will like this song. She really surprised me with this song, I will definitely keep my eyes on her and try to talk more about her songs if more came out.
