蘇永康-失眠

 

This is my second post about this singer, William So. As you may know, I don't have a favorite singer or favorite song because I know new ones will keep appearing. There are so much good songs and I just can't narrow it down to a handful that I loved. As I love discovering "new" song, I have found one I like a lot lately. 

It is called 失眠 by William So, a Hong Kong Canto-pop singer. 失眠 means Insomnia in Chinese. The song itself is over 20 years of age, recorded in the album the same name as 失眠 in 1989, the same year I was born.

William So was the few Canto-pop singer to bring jazz in their song and it goes well with the lyric & the melody. 

"At night as this song play through my ear, memories of past came rushing through just like how you can see slideshow of your life before your last breath on Earth. I cried. I regret all the things I did and said to you. No matter how many years has gone by, you still lingers in my heart and life. That is how much you've influenced me." 

Well, that is just how I interpret 失眠. 

失眠

失眠　靜聽夜空小雨滴落寞訴出冷清　啊…

失眠　令我內心不禁回憶

黃葉兒舖遍路旁邊　夜雨像跟你淚流遍

激動難抑　啊…

* 討厭這夜失眠無端憶記苦痛又一次
痛恨那日竟然冰淡說出癡心現終結
你沒再度癡纏情心粉碎落寞遠飄去
悔恨已是太遲朝夕痛心追悼愛失去 *

失眠　靜聽夜空風雨在混亂痛哭嘆息　啊…

失眠　倦透內心一再回憶

黃葉兒車碎路旁邊　伴我覓失去舊情意

激動難抑　啊…

討厭這夜失眠無端憶記苦痛又一次

痛恨我在以前傷盡你心　當初極不智

可是這夜失眠回憶起你就像再相見
縱是訣別數年只屬你心　真情未改變

討厭這夜失眠無端憶記苦痛又一次

痛恨我在以前傷盡你心　當初極不智

可是這夜失眠回憶起你就像再相見

縱是訣別數年只屬你心　依然未改變

Did any memories came rushing through?

鄭秀文 - 親密關係

 

 親密關係 is a song I haven't listen for quite a while. The first time I listen to this song was back middle school. I did not have any feeling at all after listening because I don't understand the meaning of the lyric. 

That time, I was too little to understand what love really is. It's not like I totally understand what the word "Love" is now but the understanding now is much better than almost 10 years ago. 

I slowly understand what kind of relationship I want after experiencing multiple unsuccessful one. I always thought that I need the kind which have to be together 24/7. I thought that by being that way, I could get more love and more attention from the one I'm dating but it doesn't turn out that way. It became an annoyance which led to separation. 

When I listen to 親密關係 again a couple days ago, I finally get a clear view of what I really want. I don't want to find a soul mate at all. It's all about some kind of communication in a relationship. That communication doesn't have to be through talking but could be just a smile or an action. Maybe if you are feeling sad and suddenly receive a funny text message from him/her. It's like they have a radar somewhere that can detects your feelings. That kind of action would definitely warm your heart.

For those who doesn't know what 親密關係 mean. It literally mean "Close Relationship." 

親密關係

我嘆氣了　你都說中了　如數家珍　不多不少
每次(我)想說笑　你早已笑了　默契相通
不可干擾
為我解寂寥　一切紛擾　一經你勸勉　算了
未說的問題　咀角一牽已知曉

我跌痛了　你心也碎了　其中辛酸　彷彿抵消
我要衝線了　你心跳快了　步履彷彿都輕飄飄
愉快的心照　怎算輕佻　想起你我會暗笑
受你的照料　別人怎講亦不緊要

* HA . . .像關係親密的戀愛　HA . . .但比戀愛更精彩
WO . . .是超越表面的恩愛　HA . . .沒有別人如此相愛

我氣餒了　你的信到了原先抑鬱　輕鬆不少
 我要的戲票　你早已買了
像約好般　不准騷擾
愉快的心照　怎算輕佻
想起你我會暗笑　受你的照料　別人怎想亦不緊要

什麼都不愛　如果你不寵愛

What are you looking for in a 親密關係?

蘇永康-那誰

As you can see, I haven't really updated this blog for quite a while because I haven't yet found a song that I really like the previous two months. Recently, I have been listening to this song a lot and I really love the lyric. It reminds me a lot of my past memories. 

The song is called "那誰" sang by a HK singer William So(蘇永康). The direct meaning of the song name is "Who's He/she?". This song is written from a third person point of view. The third-party is telling the story of a guy after his breakup with his lover. That guy tries to do everything to forget the break up but nothing seem to work at all. After all, time can't past away those memories. No matter how many days, weeks, months, or even years have passed, a small thing can trigger back those cuts, wounds and bad memories. The third party said that the guy should just take that as one of the challenge he faced in his path of life. If the right person appears, he'll be able to love again. 

The lyricist Wyman Wong always writes beautiful lyrics that can really trigger one's heart and memories. The MV is really touching too. The actor really portrays the character really well!

William So-那誰

你和那誰那天分手
你淚痕像條綠色的銹
頑固地種在眼睛一角　直到永久　抹不走

但是浮游在　生活亂流
你那新生　你也必須接受
就算多悔咎　自責別太久

不要戀戀心裡　那個傷口

渡日月　穿山水
尚在恨　那 誰
誰曾無堅不摧
摧毀的廢墟
一早 變做　你美好新居
創疤你不挖　亦不知有過 在這裡

淚叠淚　風一吹
漸莫辨　那 誰
連重提往事也　不再絕對
她怎傷害你　講起　你沒再　吐苦水

有時你還覺得溫馨

這淚流像存在的表證

沒有恨過便更加彷似　白過半生　冷清清

像突然忘掉　尊姓大名
卻記得她　教你差點喪命
是創傷太重　或覺悟太輕
使你不懂釋放　怨懟的根性

渡日月　穿山水
尚在恨　那 誰
誰曾無堅不摧
摧毀的廢墟
一早 變做　你美好新居
創疤你不挖　亦不知有過 在這裡

淚叠淚　風一吹
漸莫辨　那 誰
連重提往事也　不再絕對
她怎傷害你　感恩　替代了那苦水

誰沒兩個致命舊愛侶
不見得 就要聽到春天也恐懼
可以不唏噓 可以不心虛
放低跨過去

渡日月 穿山水
尚在恨 那 誰
誰曾無堅不摧 摧毀的廢墟
一早 變做了 滿山青翠

敏感處不碰 便不知你葬著心碎

若舊夢 不堪追
就別問 那 誰
從何時 你學會 灑脫面對
她怎傷害你 可否就當做老天

完整你那 沒挫敗波折一生之旅

功德圓滿 方可愛下去

帶笑歸去

張國榮-這些年來

I have been continuously listening to this song for the past week. The lyrics are simple but that's what makes it touching and meaningful. Simple but strong. No one can perform this song better than Leslie Cheung. He's definitely a true legend.

Thank you for everything you've done for me over these past 4 and half years. There's nothing more I can say. I Love You, Mr. L!

這些年來

投入過懷念過忘掉過
這角色要幾多有幾多
任何樣子都可　　似雪片掠過星河

陪著我同樣也明白我
你彷彿讓我找到最初
就如重新學做人　你比那過去還要多

談戀愛這些年　誰可叫我想念
而只有你可和我談昨天
經得起這世界考驗
還欣賞彼此那弱點

談戀愛許多年　留低過幾張臉
而只有你的情懷如昨天
戀愛叫我不安的感覺
全因躺於你面前　至倖免

王菀之 - 我不打算流眼淚

I love the melody and lyrics of this song. The melody is a jazzy style arrangement. Even though it's a sad but I really don't have the intention to cry. The meaning of the song name 我不打算流眼淚 means I Don't Intend To Cry.

This song is about someone knowing their ex finds another lover but the main character doesn't really care because there's no point in caring anyways. There's nothing she can do about it even though she feels sorrow inside. Whatever happens, let's hope everyone can find their own happiness



王菀之 - 我不打算流眼淚

最近好不好 看你是挺好
一樣的外套 和相同的微笑
我們多久沒見面我沒算好
可你的故事 我隱約聽到

聽說你找到愛人了
她有天使的膚色
更說我倆早認識一看到就會認得
她究竟是誰
其實並沒有所謂
難道可以有所謂
我不打算流眼淚

剛提到那天 請不要抱歉
一切不改變 不代表還留戀
只是習慣了偶爾想想從前
我已經說過 不代表留戀


聽說你找到愛人了
她有天使的膚色
更說我倆早認識一看到就會認得
她究竟是誰
其實並沒有所謂
難道可以有所謂
事與願違

既然你找到愛人了
我應該為你快樂
請你不要看穿我眼角眉梢的藍色
誰管她是誰
任你們盡情倚偎
嘗你未嘗過的嘴
但你絕不要後悔
