至少还有你

Thursday, November 9th, 2006

Was reminded of this song when I was watching a HK show… Really love the lyrics… Makes you think of happy things… God’s gifts of grace and love and mercy… And dreams of stars and aeroplanes growing old together…

I’m sure you’ll like it, Lou… The good airline hunter… ;)

至少还有你 - 林忆莲

我怕来不及我要抱着你
直到感觉你的皱纹
有了岁月的痕迹
直到肯定你是真的
直到失去力气
为了你我愿意

动也不能动也要看着你
直到感觉你的发线
有了白雪的痕迹
直到视线变得模糊
直到不能呼吸
让我们形影不离

如果全世界我也可以放弃
至少还有你值得我去珍惜
而你在这里
就是生命的奇迹
也许全世界我也可以忘记
就是不愿意失去你的消息
你掌心的痣
我总记得在那里

我怕来不及我要抱着你
直到感觉你的发线
有了白雪的痕迹
直到视线变得模糊
直到不能呼吸
让我们形影不离

如果全世界我也可以放弃
至少还有你值得我去珍惜
而你在这里
就是生命的奇迹
也许全世界我也可以忘记
就是不愿意失去你的消息
你掌心的痣
我总记得在那里

我们好不容易
我们身不由己
我怕时间太快
不够将你看仔细
我怕时间太慢
日夜担心失去你
恨不得一夜之间白头
永不分离

如果全世界我也可以放弃
至少还有你值得我去珍惜
而你在这里
就是生命的奇迹
也许全世界我也可以忘记
就是不愿意失去你的消息
你掌心的痣
我总记得在那里
在那里……

I have a little something special for those who can’t really understand chinese. There’s a great resource Ting Dong that has lyrics of Chinese and Japanese songs, plus their English translations!

火柴天堂

Wednesday, November 8th, 2006

突然感到很寂寞, 很害怕… 想见一个人… 却不敢见,也不敢说… 那种无奈让我想起这首歌…

火柴天堂 - 熊天平

走在寒冷下雪的夜空
卖着火柴温饱我的梦
一步步冰冻一步步寂寞
人情寒冷冰冻我的手

一包火柴燃烧我的心
寒冷夜里挡不住前行
风刺我的脸雪割我的口
拖着脚步还能走多久

有谁来买我的火柴
有谁将一根根希望全部点燃
有谁来买我的孤单
有谁来实现我想家的呼唤

每次点燃火柴微微光芒
看到希望看到梦想
看见天上的妈妈说话
她说你要勇敢你要坚强
不要害怕不要慌张
让你从此不必再流浪

每次点燃火柴微微光芒
看到希望看到梦想
看见天上的妈妈说话
她说你要勇敢你要坚强
不要害怕不要慌张
让你从此不必再流浪
妈妈牵着你的手回家
睡在温暖花开的天堂

天堂
天堂……

又有谁会了解我的孤单?

Kiss You Goodbye

Friday, November 3rd, 2006

Another song that sticks in your head… It’s a bit like Tong Hua… But the difference is, I actually like this song… And I like Lee Hom…

Kiss Goodbye - Lee Hom

baby不要再哭泣
这一幕多么熟悉
紧握着你的手彼此都舍不得分离
每一次想开口但不如保持安静
给我一分钟专心
好好欣赏你的美

幸福搭配悲伤
痛是在我心交叉
挫折的眼泪不能测试爱的重量
付出的爱收不回
还欠你的我不能给
别把我心也带走
去跟随

Chorus:
每一次和你分开
深深的被你打败
每一次放弃你的温柔
痛苦难以释怀
每一次和你分开
每一次 kiss you goodbye
爱情的滋味此刻我终于最明白

幸福搭配悲伤
痛是在我心交叉
挫折的眼泪不能测试爱的重量
付出的爱收不回
但欠你的我不能给
我才明白爱最真实的滋味

Chorus

我终于明白

Chorus

God of All

Sunday, October 29th, 2006

Here’s a little something which the Chi-Alpha Worship Team recorded last year before it was closed down due to restructuring of the ministry.

Few of us knew of its existence but some have heard the story behind it. Anyway, here it is for your personal listening pleasure.

[audio:God_of_All.mp3]

“God of All”

Note: It’s still rather raw. I haven’t had the time and resources to really edit it. Just ran it through a compressor.

Listen to the Lyrics

If I said anything more, I would hurt you even more… So I won’t…

Numb - Linkin Park

I’m tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don’t know what you’re expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
Caught in the undertow
just caught in the undertow
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Caught in the undertow
just caught in the undertow

Chorus
I’ve become so numb
I can’t feel you there
Become so tired
so much more aware
I’m becoming this
all I want to do
Is be more like me
and be less like you

Can’t you see that you’re smothering me
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
Caught in the undertow
just caught in the undertow

Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Caught in the undertow
just caught in the undertow

And every second I waste is more than I can take

Chorus

Bridge
And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me
with someone disappointed in you

Chorus

I’ve become so numb
I can’t feel you there
I’m tired of being what you want me to be
I’ve become so numb
I can’t feel you there
I’m tired of being what you want me to be

Retro Recall

Friday, October 27th, 2006

I never heard/knew much Queen… I listened to Carpenters mostly… ABBA, I heard more of after I watched Mama Mia… But I do have some 缘分 with this Queen song…

[youtube]kdVdNnXiQTc[/youtube]

Don’t stop me now - Queen

Melvin, from our cell before, made me learn the lyrics of this song one day when he drove me home… Like, really learn the song… He would play the first verse, repeat the lyrics for me line by line… Then stop the song, go back to the start and make me sing it… He did that until i learnt the ENTIRE song… Felt like I was being hijacked… But it is a nice song…

Lately, Power98’s been playing it quite often… I must have heard it 4 times already… I even woke up one morning with the song ringing in my head… And I complained about it to Kay… Then, last night, as I was sending my sister & her hubby home, we heard the song again… And my sister went,

“Hey! it’s our song!”

“Whose song?” I asked

“Our march-in song!” she said.

“Yea! This was the first one right?” said the brother-in-law

“I think it was the second” said the sister

This song was my sister’s march-in song at the wedding… The one where they came in on Segways…

It’s a happy song… Makes you wanna jump around, do a little jig, pull a John Travolta (in Grease) impersonation right in the middle of a deserted Shop N Save… ;)

Like a shattered window pane, with the glass pieces shrewn all over the floor…

That’s how it feels.
