3rd Jun 2016 (時代 – Leo Ku)

The song for today is “時代” by Leo Ku. The direct English translation of the title is “Era”

The lyrics of the song are about growing up. The protagonist said: “Going through troubles together make my shoulder hurts. But without someone becoming my burden make my heart even more painful. Someone worry so much about saying goodbye to spring’s win that they give up going through winter. Every night there are tons of news. Who is the one that turn the bright future to a bad dream. Felt that regardless of whether there is any sickness the face of sickness is still there. Why being forced to be happy? This forcing make me even more sad. Why before breathing, you already out of breath. Wind and rain are fast, times rushed. Every bit of the time brings a head full of sweat. Who is so lazy to wipe them dry? The dirt that needed to be clean still haven’t been cleaned. Getting into the dream, all the sheep turn into wolfs. No need to say, people need to go through something to become stronger. A moment of unhappiness make you down. Getting disappointed for disappointment. The heart that care so much, how to let go? The pair of couple on the ha[[y road, no matter how tired they still stuck in work. Someone worry so much about losing job that they couldn’t sleep. Who dare not to work hard? Who is worry because they couldn’t decide whether they could settle down or not. Walked too slow and worry that I will get washed away. Wind and rain are fast, times rushed. Every bit of the time brings a head full of sweat. Who is so lazy to wipe them dry? The dirt that needed to be clean still haven’t been cleaned. Getting into the dream, all the sheep turn into wolfs. Not going to say any more, people need to go through something to become stronger. Let the shadows pressed down, as I will still be happy. Era let the sky fall, so you will treasure the sun even more.” Hope you will like the song.

8th Apr 2016 (飄流教室 – Leo Ku)

The song for today is “飄流教室” by Leo Ku. This is a song that I quite like. The title is the same as a Japanese anime (I never watched it so I have no idea whether any of the lyrics are related to the anime). The direct English translation of the title is “Floating classroom”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. It said: “If there were no touching feeling in the first love, then how will the next one kill me with love. I am here because of all these reasons. Too many relationships. If breaking up is not heartbroken enough, where would this brave me appeared? All my past partners had taught me this. I once put in too much effort to love. So much pressure that even when we are going so well we have to breakup. Tried to use friendship to filled the spot, one-way love is sad. Really, I should truly say thanks to love, as I have learned so much. Who will be with me forever, tears are not everything. I gave you my heart, but I should also give it some protection. Yes, I like to win, I like to cry, but they are not a problem. If I don’t love the next person this way, it wouldn’t have hurt me all the way. Who is willing to hate for the whole life; love is not everything. Together, the departed, never learned to swear. Can pick it up, and can also let it go, but the school fees are very high. Once, this hand had wiped her tears. Used it to hug you to avoid you heartbroken. One by one become the past, and now I have see through you. Scared to be alone, and you bumped into me, so we have to be together. In the past there was someone that did the same to cost me a friend. Don’t worry, as I understand that you will eventually leave. Thanks, as now I can afford to lose. The thing that I got to learn the most is how to become numb and then start over again. Let every time feels as if it is the first time. Then restart for the next time. Who will be with me forever, tears are not everything. I gave you my heart, but I should also give it some protection. Yes, I like to win, I like to cry, but they are not a problem. If I don’t love the next person this way, it wouldn’t have hurt me all the way. Who is willing to hate for the whole life; love is not everything. Together, the departed, never learned to swear. Time flies, who is it this time, but the school fees are so high.” Hope you will like the song.

30th Jul 2015 (必殺技 – Leo Ku)

The song for today is “必殺技” by Leo Ku. This song was included in Leo’s “遊戲 基” album. The album names plays with words, “遊戲” meaning games and “基” corresponds to Leo’s Chinese name. Though if you read it together, it pronounced the same as “遊戲機” meaning “Game console”. The song, “必殺技” was the one of the songs that got sent out for promotion, it was also very popular. This album was the album that Leo decided to make a comeback to Hong Kong music industry and he was very successful. The direct English translation of the title of the song is “Fatal blow”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said: “You again got spare time, and I am in protective mode so don’t make your move. I just started to resist the pain, but my through still hurt. You are thinking about the past, I understand. You even say that I am making progress, but sadly back then you didn’t believe it. Even with my experience, I still underestimated you. I thought I can withstand it, but when you asked why I didn’t contact you, no matter how tough I am, I couldn’t compete with it. So I beg you to stop touching me like you did in the past. And I asked myself why you still managed to hurt me. Please don’t let me lose so much. Please stop telling me that you still love me even you passes by before. Why you still want to test your ability, just let me go, as you already felt like that you got a helping hand from God. The moment when you care about me again, it already felt like that you killed me once again. You didn’t speak about it, but I still know. But it is ok, as I am your ex. If this saint Bernard (a type of dog breed) looks cute, I will give it to you. Many years later, I know that if I wanted to see you again, it will feel like repeating the game again.  Even with my experience, I still underestimated you. I thought I can withstand it, but when you asked why I didn’t contact you, no matter how tough I am, I couldn’t compete with it. So I beg you to stop saying that you can treat me like a good friend. And I asked myself why you can still face me. Please don’t let me lose so much. Please stop telling me that you still love me even you passes by before. Why you still want to test your ability, just let me go, as you already felt like that you got a helping hand from God. The moment I speak of you again, it already felt like that you killed me once again.” Hope you will like the song.

22nd Jun 2015 (愛得太遲 – Leo Ku)

The song for today is “愛得太遲” by Leo Ku. This song was very popular in 2006. There is also a duet version sing by Leo and Vivian Chow, but I will only focus on the solo version here today. The direct English translation of the title is “Love too late”.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist realised that sometime it is too late for him to show his love to the people that he loves. He said: “In the past, me and my best friend meet every day. But once we both got promoted we didn’t have the chance to meet again. Finally we meet up and now we got nothing to talk about, so distanced. Worked day and night, when I saw my dad I wanted to complain. But suddenly I saw that he got much more wrinkle. I never felt that he was getting old, so I feel guilty for not noticing it before. The most painful thing in to love too late. Some love simple could wait to express. Pointlessly working so hard, busy, busy, busy is actually very selfish. Even in dream, I got used the pressure of me needing to be successful. The most scariest thing is that love need to be on time. Differ by one second and what you wanted to do could already become history. So even when you are busy, remember to see the people that you love to see. Hug, kisses or whatever, why always wanted to do it next time? I realised that my health aren’t as great as before. After seeing the doctor, all I got is “don’t work too hard”. I bought so many movies, but never watched any of them, all because I was always busy. Worked day and night, the money that I saved up should be enough. When it was Christmas, I wanted to say “Marry me”. But who would have thought that she said she couldn’t stand this any longer as she hated me for so long. Too easy to misses, love too late. I never thought that she couldn’t stand those days. Blindly working so hard, busy, busy, busy and never realised that happiness could just passes by and couldn’t say love anymore. The word ‘love’ also needs to be on time. Delayed by one second and it could turn into history. Why haven’t I let go and see the people that I love to see? Hug, kisses or whatever, please don’t believe that there would be next time. How many second will it takes for me to hug my love? In this few seconds, how much could I do? Not little, but enough to regret and forget. How many regrets, how many people pass by? Too good at calculating, but don’t know how to love myself. Everyone is working so hard, even thing of tomorrow make me excited. But tonight haven’t past yet, so if you want, it could be attractive as well. Never believe luck, after all you are just human. Dreams are so far away, love is so close yet you are still waiting. Don’t worry about the future. While you still got the energy to be happy, there are so many things happening on earth, don’t wait until you view this world from the sky.” Hope you will like the song.

1st Jun 2015 (無涯洞 – Leo Ku)

The song for today is “無涯洞” by Leo Ku. The direct English translation of the title is “No cliff hole”.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist felt that he is trap inside an endless hole mentally, where he will endlessly think of his girlfriend and things that could be happening to her. He said: “I have fallen into this hole, my vision is burry. Sometime I will wonder who is kissing your cheek, and my nerve will give me pain. Said that the whole life will be perfect, but at the end it wasn’t fulfilled. ‘Forever’ become a luxury topic. Fallen into an endless dwell, thought have completely been controlled by others. Trapped in the no cliff hole gazing at the sky, but couldn’t escape from here territory. Continually floating in your world, floating in your apartment. At the bottom of the dwell, dreamed everything of you. I have fallen into this hole, others couldn’t help me out even if they wanted to. Half drunk, half awake, still the same face. All I wanted is to have you as my audience. Which party did you go for socialising, which hero did you bumped into. The answer become a superficial question. Fallen into an endless dwell, thought have completely been controlled by others. Trapped in the no cliff hole gazing at the sky, but couldn’t escape from here territory. Continually floating in your world, floating in your apartment. Who is the person that giving you the goodnight kisses each night. Best not to mentioned, how is fate being controlled. Sometime blame you for being bad luck, don’t bring up the fact that you left. Sometime I blamed myself, never gave you any good things. Ruthless and guilt constantly alternating. Stay in this hole, forever sealed.” Hope you will like the song.

17th Apr 2015 (劇情需要 – Leo Ku and Kary Ng)

The song for today is “劇情需要” by Leo Ku and Kary Ng. This was a song from the stage performance of 森美小儀歌劇團. The direct English translation of the title is “Needed by the plot”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. I will represent Kary’s line by “K:” and when they sing together “T:” (Leo doesn’t had any solo part in this song). K: Prince of the fairy-tale had been selected, if you found that you like me give me some reaction. Never denied, so the people that love us will be scared. So stop arguing and follow the plot. The grand setting on the stage, lost everything to your movement, facial reaction and your eyes. How many times did we have to fight to understand the value of love. No need to fight with you to dead to get excitement. In the past, we were like the two poles, but now you comfort me. We now both carry the role of lover. T: Not lying and not dodging, if I realised that I love you I will hug you. Between us, there are no acting, but there are feelings and we are not scare of death. We could get people to talk about our legend. The scene support our nerve, it is hard to suppress the feeling from the act. How many times did we have to fight to understand the value of love. No need to fight with you to dead to get excitement. In the past, we were like the two poles, but now you comfort me. We now both carry the role of lover. Be the main cast to carry this closely related roles, crying for the happy moment. Hope you will like the song.

15th Feb 2015 (羅馬假期 – Leo Ku)

The song for today is “羅馬假期” by Leo Ku. This song was released in 1999. The direct English translation of the title is “Roman Holiday”.

The lyrics use the movie “Roman Holiday” (a black and white movie from the 50’s) to describe the protagonist feelings toward his girlfriend. He said: “Last night, I was watching “Roman Holiday”. While I was watching that good movie, I think of you. Attracted to the beautiful actress, grown to such a beauty; just like your eyes, staring at them and I will know how to fly. Flying for eight hours and I found you. So beautiful, I felt that I live in the movie. While you are eating that ice cream cone, me and you talk and laugh. Take photos? This lens, this moment, is like it is taking a movie, a holiday in Rome. My favourite, the protagonist is me and you, I want us to walk into the church together and marry you. I still want to look at every drawing, so crowed, but do you want to take a picture with David? Then we will travel to this little pub, and I will share with you this tea and the sun set. We still need to travel to the wishing pond, and wish that me and you will be together for this life and next life. While you are eating that ice cream cone, me and you talk and laugh. Take photos? This lens, this moment, is like it is taking a movie, a holiday in Rome. My favourite, the protagonist is me and you, I will put the diamond ring onto your finger, marry you. Hope you will like the song.

17th Jan 2015 (傷追人 – Leo Ku/Justin Lo/Jacky Cheung)

The song for today is “傷追人” by Leo Ku, this is a reader request. About this song, there are a number of versions. Firstly, there is Justin Lo English demo version. Justin was the one who wrote the melody, so in his demo, he also filled it in with English lyrics. Jacky Cheung had also covered this song in his concert “活出生命Live演唱會”. Maybe a bit off topic, but in that concert, Jacky sung many songs that were by other singer. Back at the time of the concert, “小城大事” (by Miriam Yeung) was very popular. Many considered Jacky’s version of “小城大事” as the best version of this song, and so some hate was created when Leon Lai sung his version of “小城大事”. Anyway, back to “傷追人”, the title translated as “Injury chases people”. (Note that this song was sung also by many other singers, but I will not talk about all of them here)

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist is breaking up with his girlfriend/wife, but in that process, she bought along her new boyfriend to help her pack things up. The protagonist said: “I could have called 999 (999 is the emergency number in Hong Kong) for help, but sadly you weren’t holding a knife to hurt me. So what am I scared of? For their separation, I got no choice but to get you to stay and discuss, but who would have thought that you forced him to accompany you. It felt like you slapped me. I know, computer, magazines, old letters, photos, passports and a microwave, I own you that much. But asking him for help is so cruel. You tried to make me appreciate how he makes fun of me? The most I can do is to temporally pretend that my body is not mine, numbly accepting your last heavy hit. What to worry about? I denial yelling at my opponent. So injury knows how to chase people, no need for me to hide. Perhaps he is so perfect that you don’t need to show off, but his actions costs my life even after my survival from our breakup, I rather not to see you again. You, made fun of me, yelled at me, dragged me in, blamed me, told me off and questioned me for everything, and it is all over now. All I wanted is to pray for my fate, but you still managed to figure out a new way to injure me. The most I can do is to temporally pretend that my body is not mine, numbly accepting your last heavy hit. What to worry about? I denial yelling at my opponent. The wound had already forget about me and it is now clear enough that we are separated. Hope you will like the song. I have also linked to Justin’s demo version and Jacky’s version below.

14th Sep 2014 (重複犯錯 – Leo Ku)

The song for today is “重複犯錯” by Leo Ku. This was used to be one of the songs that I looped over and over again as I love the melody of it. The English translation of the title is “Keep getting it wrong”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said: “I didn’t know you were sad and lonely. Heard that you said you were not happy at all. That got me thinking that for the rest of my life it would be difficult for me to be happy. If I still respect love, then don’t ask about that time when you fly over to Guam to swim. Really, you just can’t find anything that makes you happy. Perhaps eating and sleeping with me would create an irremovable scare in your life and you wanted to escape. It felt like that all the kissed that we had before were like kissing a stranger so there is nothing to speak of. Suddenly I love you to hate me, I had never love so much that it feel like it cost my life. Ending the relationship worse ending is like putting off the fire with my own hand. I haven’t consider that I got you, but I end up getting you, who fault is that? Are we going to fight each other with our love love-hate relationship? Hurting your other half is already love, so I promised myself that I will not make the same mistake again. The saddest thing is that there is a process in love, and it is difficult to pay off my debt by going to the beach to stargaze with you once. Back then when we had love, and felt something when we kissed the same way, but now that had turned into ice. If I still respect love, I would give up being calm. But I just hope that when we kisses good bye, you would give me some reaction, even if there are no emotions. Thinking about all of our kisses in the past, they were so close that it felt I just miss them and I realised that your true emotions are trying to hide from me.” Hope you will enjoy the song.

27th Aug 2014 (跳飛機 – Leo Ku)

The song for today is “跳飛機” by Leo Ku. The English translation of the title is “Hopscotch”, though if translated directly into English it is “Jump aeroplane” (the lyrics play with words, so it is more related to plane then hopscotch).

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said that it is the end of the season, and bugs start to fly. Air pressure is lower and the clouds float away. Only he is still deep in love with her, but he lacks the courage to fly so he has to move away. He felt that he is trapped in an empty plane, unable to go forward or backward but stuck at 3000 km altitude. She is not willing to love him, but also not willing to let him go. If he could get rid of her first, then it would be like jumping out of a plane. Even if he forgot how to fly he still needs to leave her. Just pretend that he forgot he worried about dying and just take a deep breath. She will never believe that he can fly and not believe he will fly. But he knows that he could let her go. Even if he forgot how to fly he still needs to leave her. Just pretend that he forgot he worried about dying and just take a deep breath. She will never believe that he can fly and not worry that he will fall to dead. Let him fly and not think of her. Love to the end, and there is no turning back. So painful that he started to cry; how many more kilometre could he last? The burden is too heavy, and there is too little oxygen; if he could get rid of her first, then it would be like jumping off from a plane. Hope you will like the song.
