Just The Way You Are

Today's Song Of The Day is Just They Way You Are by Aarif Li. Aarif is a Hong Kong singer/writer/actor. Aarif make some different arrangement to the original version, which was sang by Billy Joel.

This is a very romantic song since the lyric said it all. The guy does not want his lover to change anything because he loves her just the way she is. The song is not the one from Bruno Mars but rather from Billy Joel. The melody and the lyrics are totally different! I love both Aarif and Billy's version because the song is just so sweet. Billy Joel is definitely a true legend!

玉置成実 - Kanashimi No Valentine

Because you left me, I am left with no Valentines. This Japanese song is describing a girl's feelings when the one she loved left her and now she is left with no Valentines on a Valentine's Day. 


玉置成実 - 悲しみのバレンタイン 
(Kanashimi No Valentine)



Gomen to tsubuyaite
Nijindeku hitomi wo sorasa nai de

Sayonara shinjitaku nai kara
Uso da to waratte nee itsumo no you ni

You broke my heart tooku naru
Senaka ga namida de kasunde iru no
You broke my heart omoide ni (So many ways)
Kawatte yuku Valentine’s Day

Mirai he tsuduku michi
Itsuma demo issho ni itakatta naa...

Kanashimi wo norikoeraretara
Itami mo itsuka wa hoshi ni naru no?

You broke my heart ai wa mada
Fuyu no sora no shita samayou keredo
You broke my heart itoshisa ni (So many ways)
Kogoete iru Valentine’s Day

(You never know my heartbreak)
Ano hi no yakusoku sae
(why am I still in love with you?)
Yuki ni kieta hikari

You broke my heart tooku naru
Senaka ga namida de kasunde iru no
You broke my heart omoide ni
Kawatte yuku Valentine’s Day
Hitorikiri no Valentine’s Day
就算現在還堅持著當初的執著和對你的抱歉
眼淚還是不斷地從眼裡流下來,不由自主的我

說再見,一直也是我從來不會相信的事
就像平常一樣,笑著說一定是謊言來的

You broke my heart 就在當天你離我遠去 
我卻以背人垂淚來結束這一切
You broke my heart 我對你的思念
也從這天起改變了的Valentine's Day

雖然我們向著未來的道路繼續前進
但當我們一起時,何時也會變成痛苦

如果跨越了悲傷的傷痛的話
傷痛會否不知不覺變成星星一樣那麼輕
升上了夜空中呢?

You broke my heart  就算在冬天的夜空中
還存在的愛已經變成了我一個人的傍徨了
You broke my heart  在愛中的我
已經被這個冬天和你的一切凍僵了

You never know my heartbreak
就連你當初許下的成諾也一併.....
Why am I still in love with you?
已經一早化成了漫天風雪裡的一點光了

You broke my heart 就在當天你離我遠去 
我卻以背人垂淚來結束這一切
You broke my heart 我對你的思念
也從這天起改變了的 Valentine's Day

是在這冬天中,留下我一個人的Valentine's Day

Two Versions of "Time After Time" Cyndi Lauper and Eva Cassidy

Time After Time is a very classic song from the 80s. I think everyone from the 80s would remember and know this song. I came across this song a few years ago while watching a Taiwanese singing competition. That contestant sang Cyndi Lauper's version of "Time After Time". Immediately I fell in love with this song and search for it. Today while searching for this song's mv, I found another version by Eva Cassidy. This version deeply touches my heart to the point of almost crying. It is like a shock to my heart as if I can understand her feelings. The lyric brings back lots of my past memories and resemble me a bit.
Whether you like Cyndi Lauper or Eva Cassidy's version, it is how they perform the song that makes it touching.

Cyndi Lauper "Time After Time"

Eva Cassidy "Time After Time"


Lyrics
Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
and think of you
caught up in circles confusion
is nothing new
Flashback 
warm nights
almost left behind
suitcases of memories,
time after

sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
you're calling to me, I can't hear
what you've said
Then you say
go slow
I fall behind
the second hand unwinds
Chorus:
if you're lost you can look and you will find me
time after time
if you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
time after time

after my picture fades and darkness has
turned to gray
watching through windows you're wondering
if I'm OK
secrets stolen from deep inside
the drum beats out of time

chorus:
if you're lost...

you said go slow
I fall behind
the second hand unwinds

chorus:
if you're lost...
...time after time
time after time
time after time
time after time
My favorite scene from Cyndi Lauper's MV!
