22nd May 2016 (一千零一次人生 – Mag Lam)

The song for today is “一千零一次人生” by Mag Lam. This is a reader request. The direct English transition of the title is “One thousand and one life”.

The lyrics of the song are about life. It said: “Ten years after ten years, the diary still looks the same. Dreams or not, so numb that I have to pretend to be strong. Tried so hard to chase, used everything to chase, at the end I caught up to the sunset. Among the sheep, I am used to following the trend, willing to become another sheep. Again and again meeting each other, faces become very abstract. Too many farewell parties, no time to cry. Those that I wanted to meet, haven’t seen or seen again, I couldn’t recall. Called the wrong name, which photos did we took together? A thousand introverted one-way love, a thousand times broken friendship. A thousand time that I haven’t noticed about our fate, a thousand time that old photos become rubbish paper. Another thousand albums that haven’t been opened, a thousand set of fashion clothing that become old. A thousand tomorrow arrived, minutes and seconds. Those that regret, the wrongs, the little things all piled up together and become history at this moment. Are there anything that I would care before I die? Tough match after another tough match, blindly chasing for the power. Excited or not, so passionate to a point where my heart feels cold. Count the most important, the most important become so heavy that it lost it weight. Every night in bed, did I have the strength to think? A thousand time I wasted the vegetable soup, a thousand time I yell at my mum. A thousand time I thanks without heart, a thousand time I said I have no time, can’t help it. A thousand time more messages that never replied, a thousand time that I replied too late. A thousand tomorrow arrived, minutes and seconds. Those that regret, the wrongs, the little things all piled up together and become history at this moment. Is there anything that I would care before I die? Will it start again at the end? If I have to worry, I should only worry that tomorrow my passion will become the past. A thousand pair of tired black eyes, a thousand time of trave that I haven’t been to. A thousand time of interference that I haven’t tried, a thousand time of sickness that can’t be healed. Another thousand times more and it will become a full life. A thousand time turning back and it became naïve and childish. A thousand times of regrets that I haven’t pay attention to. Left out half an empty square. In the second half of the diary, there must be something that I dreamed of that I can wrote with my one hand and become history. At least after I awoke, the sun rises and there are next time. Woo, ha, yeah, I care.” Hope you will like the song.

22nd May 2015 (你以為 – Mag Lam)

The song for today is “你以為” by Mag Lam. The direct English translation of the title “you thought”.

The lyrics of the song are about what the protagonist thinks of her relationship with her boyfriend. It said, if breathing to a point that is so exaggerated just to clear your mind. If your believe in romance is just to keep dreaming. Loving so dramatically is just to live. Many stories and meaning, are just your thought. If think bring pain. If believe in fate is for accepting. Trying so hard is just for living. So many ups and downs, all are just your thought. Couldn’t get the best but can obtain the most beautiful. Couldn’t get it to happen but can get someone to swear. Who do you think you are, can say so many things. You thought that aging is a good thing. I thought that you were good, that also make other thought the same. If a heart turn into ash is so that it wouldn’t die. If you believe that goodbye is to meet again. The messy past, you said is all for living. Should be happy, will happy, you thought. Couldn’t get the best but can obtained the most beautiful. Couldn’t get it to happen but can get someone to swear. Who do you think you are, can say all these things. Who do you think you are, can leave your promises behind. So jealous, how could you be so free. I wanted to believe in your unpredictability, but still try to predict. So jealous that no matter how much you lose, you still be awarded, you thought. Couldn’t get the best but can obtain the most beautiful. Couldn’t obtain it for a second, but still completed it. Couldn’t get it to happen but can get someone to swear. You though that the world is a good place. I thought that you are a good thing. Hope you will like the song.

27th July 2014 (洗澡 – Mag Lam)

The song that I chose for today is “洗澡” by Mag Lam. The direct English translation of the title is “Wash”.

The lyrics of the song are about love, but in a somewhat psychotic way. The protagonist said that her hands and legs feel numb and she is using the air that she got left to isolate herself at home. It had been three days since her stomach hurt, and she watched a crow to fall in love with bread. It had been sevens since she lost contact, and it is time for her to call the ambulance but she lost her phone. She is happy because you are decadent, just stay in the bath tub and don’t climb up. It had been a thousand days since she washed herself as she was too focus to become his disciple. Her memories could be dirty, but they carry love. Dirty love sign, and the crying eyelashes, so smelly that makes people wanted to throw up, and can’t complain. Too lazy to comb the tangled up hairs, without him she lack the energy to fix it. Too lazy to clean the rubbish, now they become her best friend. Too lazy to cut her nails, they are so sharp that they will soon be able to cut her. The dead roses sitting in the vase is pointlessly sucking up the poison gas that he left behind. There is nothing that she wanted to do now, and she got no emotion as well. No pride, no feelings, trapping her to the dungeon.  It is the 1000th days she hasn’t washed herself and she is like a witch. Her memories could be dirty, but they carry love. Dirty love sign, proofing their love journey. Loving to a point that is scarier than love, would he know? Hope you will like the song.

20th Mar 2014 (Little Something – Mag Lam)

The song for today is “Little Something” by Mag Lam. This was a theme song for a TV drama last year.

The lyrics of the song area bout love. The protagonist said loving until the end of the world. There is no need to be dramatic to express your love. She said to herself that it could be touching even if it is normal. It is hard to forget his voice, and hard to forget the street light in rain. Nothing more could ever be the same, you kissed me through the rain. And then whispered something, little something, all I wanted to say. Everything could never be the same. I kissed you on that day. I still feel the same way. My sweet nothing, you’re my everything. Something there are sad things that if it didn’t happen, it would mean nothing. Why when they turn around to see each other, it felt like they hug each other for ten years. So he is already on her side, but how could she be closer to him. Every day, we meet millions of people, you, you, you, him and her are getting closer. It is like we never expected company yet we walked together. You and I were like we didn’t know who attracted us. Who are we waiting for on the road? If they didn’t meet up, and didn’t pay attention, perhaps they would end up with someone else. She said love is something that she first felt when she is with him. Hope you will like the song.

15th Mar 2013 (我們不是公主 – Mag Lam)

The song that I chose for today is “我們不是公主” by Mag Lam. Mag is one of the rising starts in Hong Kong. She was the winner of the Hong Kong version of “The Voice” season 2. I think she was sick last year so most of her work was on hold, but now she is back in business. The direct English translation of the title is “We are not princesses”.

I don’t quite get the full story of the lyrics, but from my understanding, it seems that the protagonist wanting someone to love her. At the beginning of the song, the protagonist seems to be able to get whatever she want, but she realised that she can’t control love. So she realised that she need to fight for her love as time is passes by and she is aging. She wishes that the guy that she loves will love her in return, but she is not a princess, so she can’t force him to love her back, so she just wish that he could be around her. Hope you will like the song.
