3rd Jan 2016 (再見理想 – Beyond)

The song for today is “再見理想” by Beyond. This song is a reader request. I thought I have done this song before (like many other reader request), so it was probably a song that I thought I would write about, but for some reasons I decided not to for that day and then forgot about it lol. So it is good that it is being suggested as a reader request :D The title of the song in English is “Goodbye dream”. This song was from the album with the same name made in 1986. It was the last album by Beyond when they were still an indie band.

This song marked the transition of Beyond, it basically describes their feeling of moving away as an indie band. The lyrics said: “Sitting alone on the corner of the street, the cold wind wake me up. Quietly accompanying my lonely shadow. Only want to hold onto the guitar, to express my pain. At this moment I thought of the past. The strength from the heart, able to dump the reality and not to worry about it. Suddenly felt that as if I got everything. But looks as if there is something between myself and others. When will I fill that empty glass with strong wine.? Using that wine to wash away the sadness. The good friends from the past, when will we meet again. Wish that we could meet again to talk about the past. . The strength from the heart, able to dump the reality and not to worry about it. Suddenly felt that as if I got everything. But looks as if there is something between myself and others. Together yell Rock n’ Roll. Together yell Rock n’ Roll. Together yell Rock n’ Roll. Together yell Rock n’ Roll.” Hope you will like the song.

1st Jan 2016 (勇闖新世界 – Beyond)

Happy New Year!!! Wish you all to have a brilliant 2016. The song for today is “勇闖新世界” by Beyond. The direct English translation of the title is “Exploring the new world”. If you don’t have a great 2015, I wish you will be able to find your new world in 2016, a world that you can find joy and love.

The lyrics of the song are about creating something new. It said: “Creating a new world, not to worry about winning or losing, explore the new world. Really, following trend, even if you won you still lose as you will not find sensation. You got the creativity to create new life, got the courage to try to speak up. The world in front is tough, very stormy, but you will not yell even if things are bad. You got the courage to cut the thorns that block your road. Try and try again, never worry that it is too hard to reach. One day the bright light will be in front. No need to wait, just give it all you got to fly. One day the bright light will be in front. With your dream, give it all you got to fly.” Hope you will like the song.

5th Oct 2015 (誰伴我闖蕩 – Beyond)

The song for today is “誰伴我闖蕩” by Beyond. The direct English translation of the title is “Who will accompany me to travel around”. This song was a theme song for a mobie.

The lyrics of the song are about chasing for our dream and growing up. The protagonist said: “Which way is ahead? Who will accompany me to travel around? There are no sign on the way, I may run into another alley. Chasing after dreams is like jumping into fire, who will be crazy with me? The long night start to feel cold, so I tried my best to avoid it. How many of the dreams are naïve? How many disappointment we found? Silently approach disappointment, how many times it hurt my heart? Can only forget what I said I will do before. Really, you and the me from yesterday had changed a lot. Can only be tough. Even when the road get tougher tomorrow, we will be so tired that we wouldn’t care, so stop being sad for calculating what you had lost. Who is willing to visit at night and stay on my side? Accompanying me to go through the darkness, and kick away the sadness and pain. There is no ending for the search, who is accompany me to travel around? Wish that the strong rain will disappeared and I can escape my fate. How many of the dreams are naïve? How many disappointment we found? Silently approach disappointment, how many times it hurt my heart? Can only forget what I said I will do before. Really, you and the me from yesterday had changed a lot. Can only be tough. Even when the road get tougher tomorrow, we will be so tired that we wouldn’t care, so stop being sad for calculating what you had lost. At least you had travelled.” Hope you will like the song.

12th Sep 2015 (灰色軌跡 - Beyond)

The song for today is “灰色軌跡” by Beyond. This song was a theme song for a classic Hong Kong movie “天若有情”. I recently have been watching a TVB drama, as the drama often refer to the movie, it keep plying the MMO of this song as background music. So every time I heard the MMO, I sing along in my heart and it makes me wanted to listen to it. The direct English translation of the title is “Grey trail”.

The lyrics of the song, I think, is about how we being drift away from the path that we wanted to take in our life. The protagonist said: “Wine, once again indulge, when will it numb my depression, everything in the past will subside. Couldn’t break through the wall, couldn’t see the road ahead clearly. There will be more struggles and forcing. Steeping on the grey trail, it is full of water abyss. I have already taken up all the pain, regret and sigh, but in your eyes there are full of tears. This would have become so empty without us realising it. Woo, don’t want you to go. Thinking about it once again, who could have covered it up for me. No matter where I go, I wanted to know you. Couldn’t wash away the marks. Why it feel bad to face the true. Everyone got their direction and aim. Steeping on the grey trail, it is full of water abyss. I have already taken up all the pain, regret and sigh, but in your eyes there are full of tears. This would have become so empty without us realising it. Woo, don’t want you to go.” Hope you will like the song.

28th Jul 2015 (快樂王國 – Beyond)

The song for today is “快樂王國” by Beyond. The direct English translation of the title is “Happy Kingdom”.

The lyrics of the song are about the happy moments from the past and how our world change as we grow up. The protagonist said: “Opened the old photo book and make me remember the old friend. The movement is full of naivety, happy childhood. The road is full of grass, walking through the mountain to take the shortcut. Never worry that the mountain was too high or falling, just want to get over the mountain. In the youth time, it was full of love and naivety. Oh Yeah. Tomorrow feels far, so get into the happy kingdom. Need to travel the universe. The childhood dream is over, but the happy kingdom remain. Remain in the heart, can laugh at the naïve dream. Oh yeah. Best friends with me, need to top each day out. We lie to each other to make it seems that we are better than others now. There is a big bird in the sky and there is a giant snake. Seeing UFO passes by, reaching the future. In the past, we never said anything true. There was more truth in the youth. Oh yeah. Fully day with weird ideas, happy and yelling made me so happy. Sadly it is no more today, so just let the old photos from the past add more colours. Ooh.” Hope you will like the song.

18th Feb 2015 (過去與今天 – Beyond)

The song for today is “過去與今天” by Beyond. This song was released in 1987. The direct English translation of the title is “Past and today”.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist felt that the world had change so much ever since he gave up his dream. He said, in the middle of the rainy night on a quiet street, some foggy light shined on him. In his heart, he always asked, the ever changing city surrounding him, whether anyone knows that he had gave up his dream from the past. Do they know that he once had a dream, want him drunk. Just like, just like, just like the twinkling star in that direction, his eyes also shined. Gazing at the cloud that always changed, he quietly sigh. Breaking through the difficult path, not worrying to get tripped over.  No one will care about the past and today. Stepping through the quiet darkness, who would care about the hopeless cold wind. In this ever changing city, who would care. Let the warm wind get close to him. You know that he gave up his dream already. Do they know that he once had a dream, want him drunk. Hope you will like the song.

27th Jan 2015 (你還愛我嗎 – Tat Ming Pair (with Beyond as backing vocalist))

The song for today is “你還愛我嗎” by Tat Ming Pair. This song was one of their classic. Only today I realised that Beyond was also involved in this song as backing vocalist. The title translated to “You still love me?” in English.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist wanting to know whether his girlfriend still loves him. He asked: “ Do you still loves me? Why I am a bit worry! Situation changes every day, so relationship doesn’t change? You still love me? If nothing changes, I worry that it will be frozen! I got used to seeing you every day, so how do I know whether our love has been simplified? Perhaps I shouldn’t found out whether it is real or not, but I don’t want to lie to myself. You love me? I wish I will know. It will stop me from worrying! I still love you? Perhaps the love has already transformed. But you always remain in my heart, and it will be forever! I already don’t know how to find out about the truth, but I don’t want us to lie to ourselves. I love you? I wish I will finally find out. Let me stop worrying. Hope you will like the song.

25th Jan 2015 (爆裂都市 – Beyond)

The song for today is “爆裂都市” by Beyond. This song was from 1989. In a way, I think this song describe the current state of Hong Kong. The direct English translation of the title is “Bust City”.

The lyrics of the song describe the protagonist is being lost, not too sure where he call home and what he called love. It said, he is enjoying the gold and shine for another day, who would care about the things that have gone crazy around them. But every second make me hated this state of the city, he never believe there would be a day he need to give up this island. Woo Ho Woo, facing the crooked system. Woo Ho Woo, ask which place is his homeland. Please tell him. In that place faraway, it is full of sadness. Who, around him, would care how sad he is. Passionate, love, true love, all are about to end, please let him to be separated for tonight. Please tell him. Hope you will like the song.

1st Nov 2014 (早班火車 – Beyond)

The song for today is “早班火車” by Beyond, this is another of their classic songs. The direct English translation of the title is “Morning train”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said that every morning, the thing that he looked forward the most is to meet her on the train. Approaching is her flowery smell, and this makes it hard for him to decide when to wake up. The windows reflect her image, allowing him to stick close to her, but sadly, it would let her noticed that he is staring at a thousand different legend. He wishes that they will never be separated and pray that there are no stops on the track. He hopes that they will never be separated and he still dreams that one day she will be his last stop and she will lean on his arm. The sound of the train is playing softly around his ears, perhaps she got the ability to make the world more beautiful and extend his dream. He so wanted to tell her about his thought, and wishes that she will notice him, but after so many stops, she still hasn’t noticed about him. Hope you will like the song.

29th Sep 2014 (抗戰二十年 – Beyond)

The song for today is “抗戰二十年” by Beyond. I chose Beyond’s song for today because of what’s happening in Hong Kong. Currently, many people in Hong Kong are protesting for true democracy, expressing their view in hope for the government to hear their voice. Many of the protesters are students. I often hear people say that these student have been manipulated, using them as a tool to create chaos. I really disagree with this, why do these people ignore the voice of the student because of their age? Just because they are younger, doesn’t mean that they don’t know what they want. They are the next generation of the society, they should have their say. Besides, without being as old as us adult, they are less tide down by the stress that put on them from the society, they are less fear on speaking up and showing us the true faces of our society. So as an adult, I truly respect their action. I sometime feel ashamed that as an adult, I fail to protect the next generation, leaving them to stand up for the whole society. While I am overseas and really can’t do much to support, I would like to show my support through the song for today. The direct English translation of the title is “Fighting for twenty years”.

More on the song, this is quite special, as it was released after the leader Ka Kui passed away. The melody was written by Ka Kui before he passed away. After many years, the other three members decided to use this melody and produce a new song. The lyrics of the song are about not giving up and keep fighting for your believe. It said, we have been fighting for twenty years and the world have changed a lot. But I will promise you that I will not change a bit. Back then we were empty handed when we made our point, we didn’t make much noise either. But we grew up with disturbances and insufficiency, how would be scare of expressing ourselves. We been through the change of time, top ten changes and formed again. The road was dangerous, we have been threaten many times and we are now used to warning. The things that we treasured might have been sacrificed already, but the spark that was created is still shining. We have been fighting for twenty years and the world have changed a lot. But I will promise you that I will not change a bit. A few shoot of gun fire broke the silence of the land and it left behind the burning smell. Now we are less anger and more kind, but sometime we are still angry. Let’s not care whether this type of fighting is modern or old fashion; as long as we haven’t completed our goal, we will keep going. We will fight for revolution as long as we are still living. As long as we keep going, there are no places that we couldn’t go. He left early, but he remains young forever. The grey road is now become a blood road. We have been fighting for twenty years and the world have changed a lot. But I will always be on your side. We are not scare to fight for another twenty years. No matter how far we have travelled, I will still remember our starting point, never changed. Hope you will like the song.

6th Sep 2014 (舊日的足跡 – Beyond)

The song that I chose for today is “舊日的足跡” by Beyond. This is one of their classic. The more I listen to Beyond’s songs, the more I admire them. Despite their songs are almost 20 years old, they still feel very modern and that they are still reflecting our society. The direct English translation of the title is “The foot print of the past”.

The lyrics of the song are about thinking of the past. The protagonist said: “I need to find the foot print of the past once again. I need to find the past, the magical time. Her face is the only thing in my mind, and I just barely remember her. I just wanted to that again, a face with tears. Every face is cute and smiling at a distance. Every bit of warm feeling, all from this warm homeland.  Light rains, soft road, I only think of her. Every time I run onto the street, I talked to myself. In this long dark night, so lonely that it didn’t had sunset. You were on my side, accompanying me on my trip. Every face is cute and smiling at a distance. Every bit of warm feeling, all from this warm homeland. Every time I went back to homeland, I felt that I was in a dream. There were many distanced faces, but all smiling. That place is green everywhere, and the morning wind lightly blowed. Listening to mon talked about the old story in her deep voice. Every face is cute and smiling at a distance. Every bit of warm feeling, all from this warm homeland. The past had past, we can only remember it today. A pair of eyes that only knows how to cry, it keeps crying and crying.” Hope you will like the song.

12th Aug 2014 (歲月無聲 - Beyond)

The song that I chose for today is “歲月無聲” by Beyond. This is another popular song by Beyond. The direct English translation of the title is “Silent years”.

The lyrics of the song are about life, but like many other songs from Beyond, I feel that there is a deeper meaning to the lyrics. The protagonist said, he had drunk a thousand glasses of wine, but he still isn’t drunk, and he doesn’t care about the rain and wind that blow onto him. No matter how many wrongs she said he committed, he doesn’t feel anything. His tears had dried up and he is out of strength to look forward to anything again. The mountain is no longer hard to climb, but his shadow is accompanying her tiredly. Sand is not worry about being blow away by the wind, as they will be reunion one day, if he could stay behind. He got no choice but to keep singing this song; how many more heart break does he need to face? Could you stop stepping back and stop letting him down? His hair had turned all white and there are any more dreams that he could look back to. Hope you will like the song.

3rd July 2014 (遙望 – Beyond)

The song that I chose for today is “遙望” by Beyond. The direct English translation of the title is “Look into the distance”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. It is still a rainy day and the protagonist is still looking out the window. Silence night, he wanted to ask the sky whether it knows the feeling in his heart. As he gets old, his unlimited love will hold in his heart like a freeze eye that lost direction. Let the rain come down lightly to cover up the depression; just like how the twinkling star in the sky is calling you. Looking in a distance, he wishes that he could be like wind, to accompany her to float away, to let his lonely arm to hold her once again. Thinking about the past, it is like a foggy dream; helplessly sigh, her laughter is like wind that just slowly went by. Every day he wanted it, forever hugging with her, forget the pain and sadness in the world. No matter how far they are separated, he will hear her call, he looks forward to see her again in this life. Hope you will like the song.
