23rd Jul 2016 (失戀的意義 – Janice Vidal)

The song for today is “失戀的意義” by Janice Vidal. This is Janice’s latest song. The melody and lyrics of the song were written by Charmaine Fong, another artist that I also like a lot. The official English title of the song is “Reason for crying”.

The lyrics of the song are about letting go of the past relationship and move on. The protagonist said: “Play an old song. The song is strong, describing you and I. Couldn’t sing, the song that you don’t like. The past relationships, so much that I have learned. Hearts that have been wounded, mine is not the only one. So what reason do I have to get you to think of me. Killing me softly, when the string music start to play, my eyes will start to turn red, only I cared. So tell me baby, how much you need me. Remembered each day, learn the reason for crying. Singing a song that cry. The popular songs are too classic, no need to replay. Singing for you, the ups and downs are too clear. So the reality is much lonelier. Body and heart are crossing, like tug-of-war. Really, you are just like a random person that passes by. Crying because of reason, making this life reach. In the forever changing world, until I learned to kiss and hug my lessons. Still the same feeling, shouldn’t have keep asking. Eventually will find the best. Killing you softly, forget about his shadow. Search for the beginning of the happy life, waiting for someone to say yes. Let go of your wilfulness, silliness and childish, perhaps that could also count as a difficult history. Being able to be in love with him perhaps was fate. Learned, the reason for crying”. Hope you will like the song.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said: “Once, because of some tiny thing, we treating arguing as a game. After you hugged me, then the problem solved.

Yearn about the time when we were a raincoat apart, the you that sounds like a grow up said that you love the way I loved you. Yearn of the free and straight forward you that disappeared now. Sadly, that the me who couldn’t take this any longer didn’t dare to dreamed. My tears and smile, felt like that it is hard to act free, never will I lost controlled for love. Really the you that I loved was ignorant like a child. All relied on instant responds, you said everything that you want without caring whether I believed it or not.

Couldn’t tell you off as I just watched the movies that you loved. Yearned, jumped when I got excited. When you become down you released your anger at me, the wilfulness you.  Really the you that I loved was ignorant like a child. All relied on instant responds, you said everything that you want without caring whether I believed it or not. Today, we both couldn’t be considered as stupid. The truthful you are in her arm, the promise in your mouth, please don’t be too brave. I was in deep love back then, not dare to guess this ending.” Hope you will like the song.

25th Mar 2016 (穿花蝴蝶 – Janice Vidal)

The song for today is “穿花蝴蝶” by Janice Vidal. This is Janice latest song, her first song since she changed company. I am glad to see that she is becoming more active again. The direct English translation of the title is “Butterfly that wear flowers”.

The lyrics, I believe, are about letting go of your old self and becoming something even better and brighter. The protagonist said: “Who is she, who is she, looking at the mirror, there is only a wasteland. Who is she? This tear, is from me, but the feeling already gone. Nothing much, but the tears destroyed the makeup on my face. Clean it up then go to bed. Too tired to act, just stay inside the wall. Eyebrow and the forehead quietly shaken. Putting on makeup for so many years, that they have covered up my tiredness. Who would have noticed that perhaps I am about to be push too much too become crazy. Like butterfly break out from it cocoon, and the blow of the spring wind. I will open my wing, would others admire me? Face shows no fear, fly toward the sunset sky. Don’t care, don’t care, who is touching my skin. Only care that I can feel better. If I can be elegant, then there wouldn’t be any worry in the future. Who am I, who am I, why I dreamed that there would be rainbow after the rain? So sweet that I freed myself. Eyebrow and the forehead quietly shaken. For so long, the role has controlled my face. It is my pain, should I should be able to be agitated. Then I can relax, just like the butterfly break out from its cocoon. The spring wind blow, I opened my wings, could you see me fly? Face shows no fear, fly toward the yellow sky.” Hope you will like the song.

2nd Nov 2015 (自首 – Janice Vidal)

The song for today is “自首” by Janice Vidal. This song was from last year. The direct English translation of the title is “Surrender”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said: “You, are too frighten, not willing to use your courage to cut it off. I admit that I am also weak, don’t even have the strength to smile. Taking this result all thanks to you. Sweetness become bad and destroyed my expectation. Too much distance, I no longer has the confident to hold onto you. How to talk you into surrendering ? No matter what you said, you still need to talk about breakup. Speak your thought, don’t say no. It is pointless to say it when I say it out loud. If sweetness is the murderer, I perhaps may need to take back on the good that I did to you. I have hurt enough, and it cannot repair. So I will let you go without questions. I, loved you more. If you talk about pain, there is only me. Stop smiling to pretend to care about me. Use time to forgive, regardless whether you actually treasured me. Still thanks you to ignore me. Too tired, too boring, you probably just talked about feeling. How to talk you into surrendering ? No matter what you said, you still need to talk about breakup. Speak your thought, don’t say no. It is pointless to say it when I say it out loud. If sweetness is the murderer, I perhaps may need to take back on the good that I did to you. I have hurt enough, no regret, let you go. Leaving, what else could I resist. I will feel painful if I don’t cry. Feels like blackmailed, trapping me.  Perhaps you got more excited, knowing that I am stupid. Begging you to please surrender. If you feel unhappy, you can right away say breakup. Speak your thought, don’t say no. Really, just don’t want to say breakup before you do. If sweetness is the murderer, it could easily take my whole life. I have hurt enough, and it cannot repair. So I will let you go without questions. Still wanted to be saved.” Hope you will like the song.

31st Jul 2015 (愛沒有假如 – Janice Vidal)

The song for today is “愛沒有假如” by Janice Vidal. The direct English translation of the title is “There is no ‘if’ in love”.

The lyrics of the song try to tell us that we loves to think of ‘what if’ for a relationship when something goes wrong, but doing so is pointless. The protagonist said: “Without you, every night I will be alone. Would I be free or would I be rushing to wait for someone. I never really had anyone or anything to make me happy, or should I make myself more attractive by dreaming of someone. Single doesn’t suit me, but love hurt my heart badly. If I missed you at the beginning, who would I fall in love with. Would it be just calm and normal or would I be emptier than today. Living a sweet life, or would I lose my luck even earlier? Perhaps we would departed in the same manner or just cry for a few nights until it all be forgotten. Love, there is no if. Regretting, bring no goods. Want, are all pointless. Love is something that is hard to place a bet on again once you lose once. If I promise you that I will never raise my eyebrows. Maybe we will be together again or that we could just barely be together. If I was asked to choose between being outright or being painful but still got you. Returning to the past, perhaps I will learn to love you. If that time I decided to quietly accept it just like before; If I understood that I couldn’t afford to lose you, then maybe you would still be in front of my eyes. If the past could be rewritten, even if I have to be hurt all over again, even if I will regret again or get more pain, it could perhaps be more joyful. If, couldn’t if. Regret, would be no good at all. If, everything is pointless. Meeting again, how to be together again. Love, there is never an if. Understanding brings no good. Love, there is no right to ask if. If you couldn’t afford to love, then don’t put down such a heavy bet. Past, if never happened, never been love, would I be happier? You and I, if we could reborn, without changing our personality, we never will be a match.” Hope you will like the song.

4th Jun 2015 (十個他不如你一個 – Janice Vidal)

The song for today is “十個他不如你一個” by Janice Vidal. This is a reader request. This song was from Janice’s second album, it was one of the plug songs from the album. The direct English translation of the title is “Ten of him is not as good as you”.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist broke up with her first love, and that she feel in the future she will never can find another person that call give her the same feeling. She said: “Really, it was against my will to said goodbye to you. I tried to tell myself off for hating you. Never got dumped, but I guess I couldn’t reached the state of never being dump. All because this is my first love, so I was very green, like acting. Couldn’t get to the end, others always bought it up. Everyone only got to be in first love once, so you would always think back to that time. Everyone is naturally selfish, so will only stop when it all used up. In the future, even if I find another ten people, but none will be like this, or I yearn so much that I wanted to experience it all over again. Everyone had broken up once, so I am not late. Back then, I didn’t realise that love could end at silence. I might have lost my senses, as that happiness has all stopped. But never know about next time. I still care about you a lot. But I think turning back will also make me angry. First love is first love, but in reality who care about the logic. It felt like acting, even leaving the nest the love didn’t end. Finally, finally, who knows what is the right or wrong decisions. At the end, breakup, at least I tried it once. Finally, finally, make a mistake, but I know. Combined, separated, at most there is only once.” Hope you will like the song.

19th Apr 2015 (等 – Janice Vidal)

The song for today is “等” by Jaince Vidal. This is one of my favourite songs. The English translation of the title is “Wait”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said that she is waiting for a bunch of flower that never arrived. Waiting for a pile of beautiful lies. Waiting for him to visit her home, waiting for friends to say that he is not bad. Waiting until he is willing to travel with her and still hopping that he will not lie and loves her truthfully. Those that she couldn’t wait for disappeared like running sand. If looking forward to obtain the end result, she is willing to be crazy about him, then the pains that she experienced are worth it. She hate herself for being too passively looking for false hopes. Feeling the bitterness in her heart to change for him. Hoping for too much, what is she in hope to get after waiting. Would he ever be able to change his mistakes? He makes mistake again, and she have to take the pain of waiting again. Now asked what have she been waiting for? Waited, and he arrived to complained. Her truthfulness toward him was all from her will. Couldn’t wait any more, so meeting every day to look like that they are in love. She doesn’t want to wait until they broke up, so she agreed to his wild promise. If the hopes are too far away, then she could only wait, wait for the different emotions. Always hopes that he could touch her, so that she could understand how to be in love crazily. If he really loves her, he would be willing to do anything.  If looking forward to obtain the end result, she is willing to be crazy about him, then the pains that she experienced are worth it. She hate herself for being too passively looking for false hopes. Feeling the bitterness in her heart to change for him. Hoping for too much, what is she in hope to get after waiting. Would he ever be able to change his mistakes? He makes mistake again, and she have to take the pain of waiting again. Now asked what have she been waiting for? Hope you will like the song.

9th Feb 2015 (愛才 – Janice Vidal)

The song for today is “愛才” by Janice Vidal. This is a reader request. This song was a big hit when it was released in 2006. The direct English translation of the title is “Love talent”.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist is heartbroken, wanting to breakup with her boyfriend but still attracted by his talents. She said that she once wanted to leave, but she didn’t see it through, she didn’t know that he wanted to repair their relationship. Does she really need to emphasize that he got a few sex partners? She once imagined being broke up, but when she turns her head back, there were already tears in her eyes. She understands that she couldn’t fight it. It hasn’t been long since she stops picking up his call. She understands that she doesn’t have the right to leave. There are a lot of lover in this world, but sadly he got talent but no heart. She wishes that he could be worse, so that it would be easier for her to make up her mind, and understand that she doesn’t need to put up with this sadness. How many nice people in this world? But he got talent and she is attracted to him. The whole world is telling her not to allow it, but she is so deaf, making herself heartbroken and shaking. Now, what to do? She is calculating, as she knows that she get nothing in return for being nice. But sadly, she takes love as an expensive hobby. Through songs, she is touched. He is the star on the stage, and it is like reminding her not to run away. In the past, he uses love songs to talk to her. So what could she do if she heard those songs after they broke up? There are a lot of lover in this world, but sadly he got talent but no heart. She wishes that he could be worse, so that it would be easier for her to make up her mind, and understand that she doesn’t need to put up with this sadness. How many nice people in this world? But he got talent and she is attracted to him. The whole world is telling her not to allow it, but she is so deaf, making herself heartbroken and shaking. She is willing to die if listening to his song will cause her dead. There are a lot of mean people in this world, but he is the only one with talent that attracted her. Because of that, she didn’t bother to ask about his past. Perhaps she shouldn’t ignore it, all because they are not mean to be together. Once he started to sing, she couldn’t resist. Hope you will like the song.

19th Dec 2014 (心有不甘 – Janice Vidal)

The song for today is “心有不甘” by Janice Vidal. This is the last entry of the mini-series that we started 2 days ago. This is the second Cantonese version of the song “夢醒時分” by Sarah Chen, it was released in 2009. The title is a bit hard to translate to English as I really can’t think of a phase that describes this feeling. The title is a Chinese phase that is used to describe the feeling of someone when they have completed something, but not too satisfied with the result as the person believe that there are factors involved that make him underperformed and lead to this result, under normal circumstances it would not be like this. So the closest translation that I could translated to is “Unsatisfied”.

The lyrics of the song are about a love relationship that started to developed hate, but the protagonist’s boyfriend feels bad to breakup. It said, who is the person that are crossing the line recently, making him to think that he was stupid at the beginning to start this relationship. Sadly he had fallen in love with the most pointless person, so he is a bit unsatisfied to breakup. He said that he regret about all the stupid things that he did in the past, making his personality to be a bit defective. He got so scared to a point that he is not willing to believe anyone anymore, but at the same time he believe that you got to accept the flaws of the other in a love relationship.  No one could just silently accept sadness and not thinking of breaking up; in that case who should feel more compunction. Who could always remain so logical and never make a mistake; there is no point for you to search for the reason of the mistake. You might have dreamed too much during love without being embarrasses, but all is matter is that you managed to wake up at the end of the beautiful dream. You don’t need to curse the person that was mean to you, so there is no need to force yourself to do something. Hope you will enjoy the song.

28th Oct 2014 (You’re always everything to me – Janice Vidal)

The song for today is “You’re always everything to me” by Janice Vidal. This is the newest song from Janice. As she describes it “This is a song about being true to your feelings. Acknowledging how you feel at the moment and don't hold it back because feelings that aren't dealt with will always come back to hurt you.” This song is the cover version of a Korea song call "Like a Star" by Taeyeon.

The lyrics of the song are about the feeling of love. The protagonist said, Because of loneliness, we accepted others, but after a while we wanted to reminisce. Seeing him again, she is surprise that that she still loves him and this make her feel very bad. All her exs are no body now, except him, the only one that she feels she still love. It doesn’t matter that they now both got a partner, and it doesn’t matter how long they have been with their partner. Loneliness is being hug by someone when sleeping but not willing to fall into sleep. How many lovers had she forced to go through the pain with her. No point of dragging in more soul, as the more she loves the more pointless it gets. After being with him, she finally understands what she needs. “You’re always everything to me” she said, seeing so many people come and leave, which one will be able to won her heart? When she is accompanying them and holding their hand, they call her partner. But when the hands are changed, who is she now? Still being so sweet, but if the partner is not him, she feel so bad that she can’t face herself. Depravation, is that when you rejected someone and feels alright. Giving up those tenderness and rather give you pain. So after going through so many wrong loves, she finally understands what is true love. So this wrong partnering isn’t really that sad. If she never meets him, then she wouldn’t be able to compare. She hopes that he knows who still loves him. Perhaps that after breaking up so many time, then they will be together again. “You’re always everything to me”, she said. When she has been taken away by someone, would he wish them well or get angry? When hugging him, she becomes his partner. But after changing hands, she become a burden. Still trying to be sweet and tender, but if it is not him, she feels so bad that she can’t face herself. Hope you will like the song.

19th Feb 2014 (只要我們還有心 – Janice Vidal)

The song that I chose for today is “只要我們還有心” by Janice Vidal. The direct English translation of the title is “If we still want it”.

The lyrics of the song area bout love. The protagonist said that her boyfriend is losing feeling toward her just like the way she is trying to withstand him. They rather be alone. Who said that forgiving is easier than love, who didn’t heard that it is harder to love as loves go on. The reality is that everyone has tried to avoid love. We can make mistake anytime and everywhere remind us of these mistake. It is good that we still haven’t get to a point of no return. If we wanted to blame something, then just blame that we got what we want too easily. We can’t just give up to compensate on what we lost, we should try to avoid saying mean things too early on. As long as we still want it, there would be a light to guide us even when we had been disappointed. If the light was blow off, then why not just fall to sleep as we will have a clearer mind and love will feel more real when we got a clear mind. After we breakup, we still got hands, so we can start again. So forget the reason why we argue, just remember that when we hug we still got feeling toward each other. If it is so easy to let go, then it would be very difficult to stay behind. But we wouldn’t believe that forgetting is easier. Is it because they see each other too much that he just wanted to think of her but not see her? Why we are worry to make mistakes, but afterward we treasure each other more. If we still haven’t get to a point to believe in destiny, then there will still be miracle, then can we pretend that we never meet. If we still want to, our feeling will rebirth. There are many couples that argue, so why just focus on the one in front. We might have let go of your hand, but afterward, we can start again. So forget about why we argue, just remember that we felt the warm from each other when we hug. If you believe that there is a reason to love, then you will fell that she is still attractive. Hope you will like the song.

25th Nov 2013 (心亂如麻 – Janice Vidal)

The song that I chose for today is “心亂如麻” by Janice Vidal. This is one of my all-time favourite and it is one of the first few Cantonese song sung by Janice. The direct English translation of the title is “heart is messy like flax”, this is a Chinese saying, meaning that that we are confuse or lost.

The lyrics of the song are about love. At the start the protagonist said that at the beginning of their relationship, they kissed and she wanted to celebrate, he already wanted to distance from her. If he felt weak and scare about her, then would he reject her? He wanted to contact her, and he called and wanted to meet. If he is serious about their relationship or that he is just perfunctory, a 3 years old would be able to tell. He seems to not willing to get in touch with her, and she felt that this change is like slapping her on the face a few thousand times. Perhaps he feels that after kissing with her there is a difference to what he had imagined. If he doesn’t want to develop a relationship with her, then she wishes that he could just be honest with her. She hopes that he just loved in a lazy way, which could explain why he ignore her for a few days. But each second, she get more down and wonder what she did wrong. In the past, he took care of her a lot, but he insults her after he got his happiness. She asked herself that, yes she had selfishly been happy before and had also been worried, now she wanted to know the truth. She doesn’t have the gut to keep bugging him, and her heart is so confuse, go home, go home, and let the wound heal. Hope you will like the song.
