25th Sep 2014 (車站 – Danny Summer and Julie Sue)

The song for today is “車站” by Danny Summer (夏韶聲) and Julie Sue (蘇芮). This song was the theme song for a movie. The direct English translation of the title is “Train station”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. As this is a duet song, the lyrics sing by Julie will be represent by “J:”, by Danny with “D:” and when they sing together “T:”. J: “Looking at the endless railway, how could I not feel lonely? You wanted to go onto adventure again, how many turns will you need to make. Standing quietly, looking at the disappearing train, all there is left are night, people, and sadness in my heart.” D: “Perhaps I was trying to avoid the burden that got built up from before, or just that I wanted to do something great in my life. Even though I am tired, but I still gaze at the unknown space. The road perhaps is just going around, but I am still willing to use my life to explore it.” T: “Long journey, over many mountains, cold railway. Sad departure and memories added together felt like a thousand tones. When will I be able to meet with you again? Hold hands, talk, and kisses but don’t cry.” J: “There is a stop after the stop, sounds simple, but no one knew how much sadness and happiness the train carries.” D: “When human built railway, were we aiming to shorten our distance or to extend the sadness in our life?” J: “How many stops will it takes for you to come back. And when we meet again, would we still have feeling toward each other?” D: “How many stops will it takes me to forget? Someone had once stayed in my arms.” T: “Long journey, over many mountains, cold railway. Sad departure and memories added together felt like a thousand tones. When will I be able to meet with you again? How many more train I have to wait until you arrive. How many more turns will it takes until I can stop thinking about you.” Hope you will like the song.

15th Apr 2012 (空凳 – Danny Summer)

The song for today is “空凳” by Danny Summer. Another song about the love between father and son. This is the last one of the series  (checkout “單車”and “追憶”) (edit on 25th May 2013: A new song is added to this series, check out 負親”)

I don’t like this song as much as the other two in the series, but since I have posted the other two, I should complete my series with this song as well. Although all three songs are about father and son, but they are all slightly different from each other. Eason’s “單車” is about growing up and understanding the love from his father, George’s “追憶” is about the memory that the father and son share and the pain of losing a father. Danny’s “空凳” (by the way, the English translation of the title is “Empty chair”) is about regret. The lyrics goes like this “There is an empty chair, but it still attract me to get closer. A long long time ago, in this chair, my dad was like a giant. There is only regret left in this wear chair. Long time ago, this chair used to be beautiful, and there were little wrinkle on dad’s face. Staring at this chair along make me wish that I could sit with him again. Looking at this chairing make me sad, why I didn’t tell him what I wanted to say. I was lazy to say “I love you”, lazy to say “I love you”. I used to think that I was the most important. But today I realised that I love him, I love him forever, but I can only say it to an empty chair.”

I guess all these 3 songs bring out a point that the love between father and son are not in words. Unlike the love from mother, father’s loves are usually not shown to you directly, but they would try their best to protect you behind your back. I guess this is the way of love between men, and it would be hard for female to understand it. Hope you will like the song for today.

Just for your information, the lyrics of “追憶” and “空凳” were written by the same person.
