Friend (ワインレッドの心)

最近看了一部电视连续剧，听到这首日语歌曲，觉得非常好听。原来是日本流行歌手之一，玉置浩二(生一九五八年九月十三日)在一九八二年的作品。可能以前曾经听过这首或类似的歌，却也给忘记了。同一首歌在不同的成长过程阶段听，会有全然不同的感受感触，我想如果以前曾听过也已经没有什么印象了。现在虽然听不懂日语，不过在听到歌词开头的第一句Sayonara（再见）和玉置浩二那独特的唱腔，终觉得是在描述一个凄美的故事，让人听了感动。

To live is to prepare for goodbye

For loneliness is a friend who will not betray

Believe not in happiness even in the passions of love

Confess not your love even if you would die for it

For love is like a season; it comes and goes to decorate life's boredom

The moment you call it love, it melts away like an ice sculpture

Happiness lasts not forever as despair lasts not forever

Some days, there's goodbye and some days, there's hello

At death, some look back on being loved

While some look back on having loved

And I shall look back on having loved

FRIEND（ワインレッドの心）

唱：玉置浩二

词：松井五郎 曲：玉置浩二

さよならだけ 言えないまま
Sayonara dake  Ie nai mama
きみの影の中に いま涙がおちてゆく
Kimi no kage no naka ni  Ima namida ga ochite yuku
（唯独一直说不出再见，在你的影子里，我的眼泪落下。）

つめたくなる 指・髪・声
Tsume taku naru
ふたり暮らしてきた 香りさえが消えてゆく
Futari kurashite kita  Kaori saega kiete yuku
（手指，头发，声音，都变冷了。就连我们在一起的气息也已消失。）

もうFriend  心からFriend
Mou Friend  Kokoro kara Friend
みつめてもFriend  悲しくなる
Mitsume temo Friend  Kanashi ku naru
（Friend，从我心里Friend，凝视你Friend，都会开始悲伤。）

想い出には できないから
Sou i de ni wa  Deki nai kara
夢がさめてもまだ 夢みるひと忘れない
Yume ka same temo mada  Yume miru hito wasure nai
（思绪的回忆已不存在，从梦中醒来却忘不了梦中人。）

もうFriend きれいだよFriend このままでFriend やさしく
Mou Friend  Kirei dayo Friend  Kono mamade Friend  Yasashiku
（真的Friend，好美丽Friend，持续吧Friend，温柔地。)

もうFriend  心からFriend  いつまでもFriend
Mou Friend  Kokoro Kara Friend  Itsu mademo Friend
今日からFriend
Koyou kara Friend
(从Friend，我心里Friend，不论到何时Friend，从今天开始Friend。）

在网上搜索后，发现很多大牌歌手都指名翻唱玉置浩二的歌曲，如张学友、黎明、郭富城、张国荣、谭咏麟等。玉置浩二也是许多香港、台湾歌手们翻唱得最多的日本歌手。在一九八七年，张学友就翻唱了这首歌，曲名沉默的眼睛。

沉默的眼睛

唱:张学友

曲:玉置浩二 词:陈少琪 

天际复回寂静  长空浮涌繁星

愿这星  每晚紧靠著你

悄悄指引著你  燃亮生命

相爱是难预定  留低回忆憧憬

在这生  你每点欢笑声

也会驱散著我  长夜的冷清

望晚星  闪烁你的眼睛

真挚热爱在呼应  拥着无限柔情

心里荡回寂静  时光溜走无声

在这生暖暖的心已经  永远归向你沉默的眼睛

星  交织妳的背影

真挚热爱在呼应 心内宁静

在二零零二年，一位台湾女歌手顺子（生一九七三年二月十二日）也把这首日语歌曲翻唱成中文歌。这首歌描写了一对分手多年的两个人，在看到对方孩子时而有所感触，觉得跟原词有点相似。在刚听到顺子这个名时，感觉有些陌生。其实不然，如果你还记得一九九七年的经典之作《回家》这首歌，就会记起这个被称为“灵魂歌后”的音乐家。

DEAR FRIEND

唱：顺子

词：姚谦 曲：玉置浩二 编曲：涂惠元

跟夏天才告别转眼满地落叶

远远的白云依旧无言

像我心里感觉还有增无减

跟去年说再见转眼又是冬天

才一年看着世界变迁

有种沧海桑田无常的感觉

Oh~ Friend

我对你的想念

此刻特别强烈

我们如此遥远

朋友孩子的脸 说着生命喜悦

如果说 我们依然相恋

说不定在眼前 是另外情节

Oh~ Friend

我对你的想念

此刻特别强烈 这么多年

Oh~ Friend

我对你的想念

此刻特别强烈 如此遥远

Friend~

不能说的·秘密

这是部周杰伦自制的电影处女作，由他本人自编、自导、自演和主演在台湾二零零七年公映。

剧情描述一位高中生叶湘伦（周杰伦饰）出身在单亲家庭，在一九九九年转到父亲（黄秋生饰）任教的淡江中学就读。在父亲的耳濡目染下，他热爱音乐并且琴艺过人。某日，班上出现了一位同样热爱弹琴的同学路小雨（桂纶镁饰），投缘的两人形影不离，情感也日渐萌芽。然而小雨总是相当神秘，还常弹奏一首未曾问世，但极为优美动听的曲子。每当湘伦想多了解小雨一点时，她常欲言又止，总推说是个不能说的秘密。有一天，他们在约会时发生了误会，小雨再也没有来上课，思念著小雨又一头雾水的湘伦决心要找出这个不能说的秘密。于是，叶湘伦去到小雨的家，在小雨房中看到他爸爸二十年前与小雨拍的照片，便带回家向他爸爸询问实情。

真相是在二十年前，一九七九年，小雨读音乐班三年級，是个清秀脱俗和钢琴弹得很棒的女孩。某日，她在一间百年琴房的一台旧琴里发现了一本旧琴谱《Secret》，而这琴谱会随着弹奏在旧琴里的速度开启时 空旅程。就这样，小雨来到了二十年后，她第一眼所看到的人就是被音乐所吸引过来的叶湘伦，也只有他能够在次时的时空旅程里看到她。就这样，双方都泛起了微妙的感觉。有一次，小雨再次来到二十年后，在张开第一眼时不小心看到了晴依（曾恺玹饰），所以在叶湘伦和雨豪（詹宇豪饰）斗琴时，小雨和晴依才能互相对话，反而湘伦没有办法看到小雨。后来，一次的约会误会使小雨決定不再去找叶湘伦。她把琴譜和整个事件都说給了叶湘伦的爸爸（也就是小雨二十年前的老师），但是没有人相信她，所有人都认为小雨爱胡思乱想，有些精神病。小雨的妈妈甚至还专门买治疗精神病的药给小雨吃。同时她在学校也受到了同学们的肆意嘲笑。小雨难过极了，回到家里再也不肯去学校了。

湘伦跟小雨在一起的时候曾经对小雨说过，“毕业典礼上，我要为你演奏”。到了小雨毕业的时候，湘伦的爸爸来到小雨的家找小雨，希望她能参加毕业典礼。小雨想起了湘伦说过的话，便回学校参加毕业典礼。和湘伦的爸爸合照完后，她再次去了百年琴房弹奏《Secret》，并出现在湘伦的毕业典礼上，听着湘伦为 她弹奏的《天鹅》。湘伦看到了小雨，而小雨看到了原本载在晴依手上的幸运绳，载在湘伦手上，误以为湘伦与晴依在一起了，她失望也伤心的回到二十年前。可是她又想告诉湘伦她的爱意，于是她又再一次来到二十年后，只是这次她来时没有让湘伦第一个看到她。小雨与湘伦便在同时间，同一个桌子上用立可白写字，只是因为时空的关系，湘伦看得到小雨写的字，可是小雨却看不到湘伦的字。这时，小雨因气喘病发作而死。

在知道实情以后，叶湘伦决定要回到二十年前与小雨重逢。

这是一部清纯，浪漫与奇幻的爱情故事；一个时空穿梭的初恋，一个为爱情而奋不顾身穿越时空的真挚恋情，让人看了好感动。尤其是当两人用立可白在桌子上写字的一幕，有种触动心弦的感觉。

附带，戏里当小雨和湘伦到路家顶楼时，路家窗内站了一位红衣女子在凝视着湘伦是二十年后的小雨，而非小雨的妈妈。所以湘伦才会有种想回头的片段。

爱情是一份纯美的感情，

有心的人，再远也会记挂对方；

无心的人，近在咫尺却远在天涯。

有些事情是可以遗忘的，有些事情是可以纪念的，

有些事情是可以甘心情愿的，有些事情却一直无能为力。

如果爱情停留在曾经，它就只属于那个时间；

如果爱情停留在生命里，它就会成为永恒，甚至超越永远。

不能說的祕密

作詞：方文山 作曲：周杰倫

演唱：周杰倫

冷咖啡離開了杯墊

我忍住的情緒在很後面

拼命想挽回的從前

在我臉上依舊清晰可見

最美的不是下雨天

是曾與你躲過雨的屋簷

回憶的畫面　在盪著鞦韆

夢開始不甜

你說把愛漸漸放下會走更遠

又何必去改變　已錯過的時間

你用你的指尖　阻止我說再見

想像你在身邊

在完全失去之前

你說把愛漸漸放下會走更遠

或許命運的籤　只讓我們遇見

只讓我們相戀這一季的秋天

飄落後才發現　這幸福的碎片

要我怎麼撿

向左走·向右走

这是一本台湾绘本作家几米的经典作品。讲述了某城市的一座公寓里，其中的一个男住客每次出门，习惯的他向右走。同一栋公寓里，住着另一位女住客，每次出门，却总是习惯性的左走。因此两人从未碰头。就像都市里大多数人一样，一辈子也不会认识，却一直生活在一起。

但是，人生总有许多巧合，即使两条反向而行的线，也可能会出现交会的一点。有一天，在公园的圆形喷水池前，他们竟然相遇了，彼此一见如故，有如多年失散的恋人，这就是缘份。他们一起过了一个快乐和甜蜜的下午，告别时互相留下电话。可惜电话号码因一场大雨淋湿而模糊不清，从此两人失去了联系而怅然若失，就象握在手里的风筝突然断了线。

两人在迷宫般的城市，听不到呼唤，找不到方向。在熙熙攘攘的街道上，他们擦身而过，一次又一次的错失缘份，那么靠近却又如此遥远。他依然向右走，她依然向左走，谁也没有忘记对方。在一个下雪的冬天里，他们各自挟带着孤寂的心，决定离开这个城市，到一个充满阳光的地方去旅行。拖着行李的他们终于在喷水池前再次相遇。

这本书的寓言诉说了人生在无尽的追寻中，会有一个又一个的巧合和偶然，也会有一个又一个的意外和错过。相识是偶然，也是缘分。每一分缘都是难得的，能走在一起是缘分，一起在走是幸福，所以要懂得惜缘。

遇见
孫燕姿演唱

聽見　冬天　的離開

我在某年某月　醒過來

我想　我等　我期待

未來卻不能因此安排

陰天　傍晚　車窗外

未來有一個人　在等待

向左　向右　向前看

愛要拐幾個彎才來

我遇見誰　會有怎樣的對白

我等的人　他在多遠的未來

我聽見風　來自地鐵和人海

我排著隊　拿著愛的號碼牌

我往前飞　飞过一片时间海

我们也常　在爱情里受伤害

我看著路　梦的入口有点窄

我遇见你　是最美丽的意外

终有一天　我的谜底会揭开

KISS THE RAIN
Yiruma

好久不见

陈奕迅演唱

我来到你的城市

走过你来时的路

想像著没我的日子

你是怎样的孤独

拿著你 给的照片

熟悉的那一条街

只是为了你的画面

我们回不到那天

你会不会忽然的出现

在街角的咖啡店

我会带著笑脸回首寒喧

和你坐著聊聊天

我多麼想和你见一面

看看你最近改变

不再需说从前

只是寒暄对你说一句

只是说一句　好久不见

在二零零三年，导演杜琪峰和韦家辉根据几米的这本书执导了由金城武和梁咏琪主演的同名电影。这部电影把画里的人物给演活起来，是部童话真人版。不过电影里的情节会比较多，先是男女主角在少年时就曾相遇和失散，直到十三年后在公园的水池前相见，后又有分别暗恋他们的小红(关颖饰)和胡医生(陈之财饰)出诡计让他们不能再见面，使到他们开始相信彼此之间真的没有缘分。

于是两人决定离开这个城市，希望在另一片天空下展开新生活的一页。两人各自整理行李，准备离去，奇妙的事情发生了。。。这时，九二一大地震，在他们公寓之间的一道墙震破了一个洞，让他们此时再次遇见了对方。

在看这部电影时就像在看一场都市童话一样：美丽的邂逅，美丽的坎坷，美丽的重逢和美丽的结局。尤其是在听着孫燕姿唱的《遇见》更是完美。

Tears of an Angel

RyanDan (born December 5, 1979) is a Canadian musical, songwriting and producing duo, consisting of identical twins Ryan and Dan Kowarsky whose music is a mix of pop, opera and classical.

Tears of an Angel was written by the duo in memory of their late niece, Tal who died from a brain tumor at age four while they were recording the album in 2007.

It's a very beautiful song and both Ryan and Dan have harmonize the song so well that I thought it was just one person singing when I first heard it.

When we are touched by something it's as if we're being brushed by an angel's wings.

                

TEARS OF AN ANGEL

RyanDan

Cover my eyes

Cover my ears

Tell me these words are a lie

It can't be true

That I'm losing you

The sun can not fall from the sky

Can you hear heaven cry

The tears of an angel

The tears of an angel

The tears of an angel

The tears of an angel

Stop every clock

The stars are in shock

The river won't run to the sea

I won't let you fly

I won't say goodbye

I won't let you slip away from me

Can you hear heaven cry

The tears of an angel

The tears of an angel

The tears of an angel

The tears of an angel

So hold on be strong

Every day hope will grow

I'm here don't you fear little one

Don't let go ... Whoah ...

Don't let go ... Whoah ...

Don't let go ... Whoah ...

Cover my eyes

Cover my ears

Tell me these words are a lie

Only Time

Originally released in November 2000 which composed and recorded by Irish singer Enya (17 May 1961) who influences are with Irish music, church music and classical music.

To date, "Only Time" is Enya's biggest solo hit in the United States, where it peaked at number ten on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, number twelve on the Pop Chart and first on the adult contemporary chart.

Personally, love her songs, especially her beautiful voice and Only Time is just one of it which was also featured in the soundtrack of the romantic film - Sweet November.



                

ONLY TIME - Enya

Who can say where the road goes

Where the day flows, only time

And who can say if your love grows

As your heart chose, only time

Who can say why your heart sighs

As your love flies, only time

And who can say why your heart cries

When your love lies, only time

Who can say when the roads meet

That love might be in your heart

And who can say when the day sleeps

If the night keeps all your heart

Night keeps all your heart

Who can say if your love grows

As your heart chose, only time

And who can say

Where the road goes

Where the day flows, only time

Who knows - only time

Who knows - only time

Serenedipity

Serenedipity, a nice word and I kind of fancy with it. The word was formed from the Persian fairy tale, The Three Princes of Serendip, whose heroes "were always making discoveries by accidents and sagacity, of things they were not in quest of".

In 2001, Peter Chelsom directed a romantic comedy of the same wording as the film title. The story tells of a couple reunite years after the night they first met in New York City, fell in love and separated, convinced that one day they will end up together.

Jonathan Trager (John Cusack) meets Sara Thomas (Kate Beckinsale) by chance in the Christmas eve, in Bloomingdale's, both trying to buy the last pair of black cashmere gloves available for sales. Despite each being in a relationship with other people at the time, they spend an amazing afternoon together and attracted to each other. Jonathan wants her contact information "just in case", but Sara, a fatalist, plays games of fate with Jonathan to determine if they are indeed meant to be together.

Sara decides to write her contact information in a book, Love in the Time of Cholera and his on a five dollars bill. She gives the bill to a newspaperman and she says that she would sell the book in a New York used books store. If they are meant to be together, he will find the book, she will find the five dollars bill and they will find their way back to each other.

Life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences, 
but rather it is a tapestry of acts that culminate in an exquisite, sublime plan. 

If we are to live life in harmony with the universe, 
we must all possess a powerful faith in what the ancients used to call "fatum", 
what we currently refer to as destiny.

WHEN YOU KNOW - Shawn Colvin

When you know that you know who you love, you can't deny it.
Or go back, or give up, or pretend that you don't buy it.
When it's clear this time you've found the one, you'll never let him go
Cos you know and you know that you know.

When you feel in your skin in your bones and the hollow
Of your heart, there's no way you can wait till tomorrow.
When there isn't any doubt about it once you come this close
Cos you know and you know that you know.

You can feel love surround you like the sky 'round the moon.
This is how love has found you, now you know what to do.

When you know that you know who you need, you can't deny it.
Or go back, or give up, or pretend that you don't buy it.
When it's clear this time you've found the one, you'll never let him go
Cos you know and you know that you know.

And it's time you come in from the cold.
Haaa ...
And you know that you know.

      

被遺忘的時光

被遺忘的時光 - 蔡琴 

是誰在敲打我的窗，

是誰在撩動琴弦，

那一段被遺忘的時光，

漸漸的迴昇出我的心坎。 

是誰在敲打我的窗，

是誰在撩動琴弦，

記憶中那歡樂的情景，

慢慢地浮現在我的腦海，

那緩緩飄落的小雨，

不停地打在我窗，

只有那沉默無語的我，

不時地回想過去。 

是誰在敲打我的窗，

是誰在撩動琴弦，

記憶中那歡樂的情景，

慢慢地浮現在我的腦海。

                

You Are My Angel

Lorretta Chow Mei-yan is a Chinese-Canadian actress and singer active in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. She was the second runner-up at the 2007 Miss Hong Kong Pageant and this song was sung by her as a theme song in TVB drama, Forensic Heroes II (法证先锋II) released in May, 2008.

 
YOU ARE MY ANGEL - Lorretta Chow (周美欣)

Once upon a time
An angel in the sky
Made a cover very night

Once upon a time
The angel loved me so
It's a miracle
In the snow, my heart won't be cold

My Dear
You are my angel
Tell me what you know
Something should be told 

My Dear
You are my angel
Tell me where you go
I will brace behind your throne

Once upon a time
My angel give me life

世界の中心で、愛をさけぶ

Socrates in Love, also known as Crying Out Love, In the Center of the World (世界の中心で、愛をさけぶ Sekai no Chūshin de, Ai o Sakebu) is a Japanese best selling novel written by Kyoichi Katayama which was published by Shogakukan in April 2001 and aired on August 26, 2006 in Japan.

A seventeen year old Sakutaro Matsumoto stands on the red earth of Australia (Ayers Rock, so called the center of the world) under its blue sky. The colored sand runs through his hands and a tear appears on his cheek. An enduring devotion and heartbreaking loss of the love of his life, Aki Hirose, to leukemia. No matter how hard he cried out for her and she will never ever come back again.

Time flies, it's 2004 and he has been living in a world trudges through everyday existence without her for seventeen years, as if half of him died with her since then. One day, the last tape of Aki's audio diary  suddenly unearthed, leading him returning to his  hometown in the south to see his old high school for the last time before it's demolished and where he first met Aki.

A bittersweet tale of young love story unfold through his memories ... ...

“It’s not the parting or the absence that’s sad.

You love them, and that’s why saying good-bye breaks your heart.” - Kyoichi Katayama

世界の中心で、愛をさけぶ

(在世界中心呼喚愛 - Crying Out Love In The Centre Of The World)

      

      

I can tell by the tears that my heart's in a crush

And it's just as I feared – that it never will hush

If it wasn't to be then why can't I break free?

If the truth wasn't spoken – why was I so broken?

I don't live without you – I still think about you

And I can't live with you – with this negative view

And I know exactly where it all went wrong

For my love for you was… far, far too strong

My love was so strong that it had to go wrong

And then I took a road that became far too long

And I can tell by the tears, I'm a fool to remember

But I know by the years that I can never surrender

I'II Follow You Into The Dark

A song by Death Cab for Cutie (an American alternative rock band formed in Bellingham, Washington in 1997) from their fifth album Plans. Written and performed by lead singer Benjamin "Ben" Gibbard (born August 11, 1976) who wrote this song at the age of nearing 29 and had never lost anyone really special in his life.

The concept and creation of the song found in Wikipedia:

"It's just this idea that what if somebody dies and we're just floating, just stumbling around in infinite darkness, and I'm just trying to find some kind of spiritual kind of peace with myself, and the world." ~ Ben Gibbard

It's comes to my mind when I first heard of this song; the kind of love that transcends time when someone special in life died and trying to find some comfort of peace. However, there's a lot more hidden messages in this song in the website that depends on individual interpretations on different encounters and experiences in life which will remains as mystery.

I will always be there for you when you are uncertain,

even into the greatest uncertainty of all ... ... death.

I'LL FOLLOW YOU INTO THE DARK - Ben Gibbard

Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one to guide you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about 'cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark

海豚公主 - 张靓颖

张靓颖（1984年10月11日），一名中国女歌手。2005年参加湖南卫视举办的超级女声比赛，获得了季军。因张靓颖在比赛中唱出高难度的海豚音（Dolphin Vocal Sound or Whistle Register ），顾名思义，就是指一些像海豚一样发出的在人类听频范围外的高音调超声波，所以赋予她为 “海豚公主”。

第一次听到她的歌是在看了电影《画皮》主题曲 - 画心，很优美，非常喜欢。一个非常有才华与实力的女歌手，加油 - 张靓颖！

画心 - 张靓颖（曲：藤原育郎 词：陈少琪）

看不穿 是你失落的魂魄
猜不透 是你瞳孔的颜色一阵风 一场梦

爱如（是）生命般（的）莫测
你的心 到底被什么蛊惑

你的轮廓在黑夜之中淹没
看桃花 开出怎样的结果
看着你抱着我 目光似（比）月色寂寞
就让你 在别人怀里快乐

爱着你 像心跳难触摸画着你 画不出你的骨骼
记着你的脸色 是我等你的执着
你是我 一首唱不完的歌
（我的心 只愿为你而割舍）

我们说好的 - 张靓颖

好吗 一句话就哽住了喉
城市 当背景的海市蜃楼
我们 像分隔着一整个宇宙
再见 都化作乌有

我们说好绝不放开相互牵的手
可现实说光有爱还不够
走到分岔的路口
你向左我向右
我们都倔强得不曾回头

我们说好就算分开一样做朋友
时间说我们从此不可能再问候
人群中再次邂逅
你变得那么瘦
我还是沦陷在你的眼眸

我们说好一起老去看细水长流
却将会成为别人的某某
又到分岔的路口
你向左我向右
我们都强忍着不曾回头

我们说好下个永恒里面再碰头
爱情会活在时光节节败退后
下一次如果邂逅
你别再那么瘦
我想一直沦陷在你的眼眸
（这是无可救药爱情的荒谬）



印象西湖雨 - 张靓颖 (王潮歌作词，喜多郎作曲)

雨还在下，落满一湖烟
断桥绢伞，黑白了思念
谁在船上，写我的从前
一笔誓言，满纸离散

雨 站在湖边
雨 遥望北岸

雨还在下，落满一湖烟
断桥绢伞，黑白了思念
谁在船上，写我的从前
一笔蝴蝶，满纸离散

我的告别，从没有间断
西子湖上，一遍一遍
白色翅膀，分飞了流年
长叹一声，天上人间

雨还在下，淋湿千年
湖水连天，黑白相见
谁在船上，写我从前
一说人间，再说江山

廣島之戀

廣島之戀 - 張洪量／莫文蔚 曲/詞/編︰張洪量

男：你早就該拒絕我　
不該放任我的追求
給我渴望的故事　
留下丟不掉的名字

女：時間難倒回　
空間易破碎
二十四小時的愛情
是我一生難忘的美麗回憶

男：越過道德的邊境　
我們走過愛的禁區
享受幸福的錯覺　
誤解了快樂的意義

女：是誰太勇敢　
說喜歡離別
只要今天不要明天
眼睜睜看著愛從指縫中溜走　
還說再見

男：不夠時間好好來愛你
女：早該停止風流的遊戲
合：願被你拋棄　就算了解而分離 不願愛的沒有答案結局＋
男：不夠時間好好來恨你
女：終於明白恨人不容易
合：愛恨消失前　用手溫暖我的臉 位我証明我曾真心愛過你
男：愛過你
女：愛過你
男：愛過你
女：愛過你
合：愛過你

Footprints In The Sand

FOOTPRINTS - Mary Stevenson

"One night I had a dream
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord, and
Across the sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand;
One belonged to me, and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of my life flashed before us,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that many times along the path of my life,
There was only one set of footprints.
I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in my life
This really bothered me, and I questioned the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
You would walk with me all the way;
But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life,
There is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why in times when I needed you the most, you should leave me.
The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child. I love you, and I would never, never leave you during your times of trial and suffering.
When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you."

"Footprints in the Sand", a song written by Richard Page, Per Magnusson, David Kreuger and Simon Cowell and produced by Steve Mac for Leona Lewis's debut album. It was released in March 2008 as Lewis's third UK single.

FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND - Leona Lewis

You walked with me, footprints in the sand
And helped me understand where I'm going
You walked with me when I was all alone
With so much I know along the way
Then I heard you say

I promise you, I'm always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair
I'll carry you when you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand

I see my life flash across the sky
So many times have I been so afraid
And just when I have thought I lost my way
You give me strength to carry on
That's when I heard you say

I promise you, I'm always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair
And I'll carry you when you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand

When I'm weary, well, I know you'll be there
And I can feel you when you say

I promise you, I'm always there
When your heart is filled with sadness and despair
I'll carry you when you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand

I promise you, I'm always there
When your heart is full of sadness and despair
I'll carry you when you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand

Everytime

"Everytime" by pop singer-songwriter Britney Spears from her fourth studio album - "In the Zone" which was released on May 17, 2004. The song was written by Spears and a tragic ballad. Dont really fancy on her songs much but found this song delicate with the lyrics and tune.

EVERYTIME - Britney Spears

Notice me, take my hand
Why are we strangers when
Our love is strong
Why carry on without me

Everytime I try to fly, I fall
Without my wings, I feel so small
I guess I need you, baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, it's haunting me
I guess I need you, baby

I make believe that you are here
It's the only way I see clear
What have I done
You seem to move on easy

And everytime I try to fly, I fall
Without my wings, I feel so small
I guess I need you, baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you're haunting me
I guess I need you, baby

I may have made it rain
Please forgive me
My weakness caused you pain
And this song's my sorry

At night I pray
That soon your face will fade away

And everytime I try to fly, I fall
Without my wings, I feel so small
I guess I need you, baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you're haunting me
I guess I need you, baby

菊花台 (Chrysanthemum Flower Bed)

Got to know this song - 菊花台 (Chrysanthemum Flower Bed) by Jay Chou from the movie - 满城尽帶黃金甲 (Curse of the Golden Flower) directed by Zhang Yimou which released in December 2006.

This fictional story is set in the imperial court of the Later Shu (后蜀), which was during the turbulent of Five Dynaties and Ten Kingdoms (五代十国) period . The plot adapted from a play - Thunderstorm (雷雨) by Cao Yu (曹禺) during 1934. Is about the volatile balance of power between the King and the Queen and his three sons, which entails betrayal, deceit, infidelity and conspiracy where the King against the Queen and father against sons (not a martial arts film if you're expecting it to be but a classic epic tragedy tale where power and authority conquer everything).

The title of the movie is taken from the last line of a Tang dynasty poem:

不第後賦菊 - 黃巢
待到秋來九月八，我花開後百花殺。
When autumn comes on double ninth festival, my flower [the chrysanthemum] will bloom and all others perish.
衝天香陣透長安，滿城盡帶黃金甲。
When the sky-reaching fragrance [of the chrysanthemum] permeates Chang'an, the whole city will be clothed in golden armour.

It was well reflected in the film with yellow chrysanthemum as the theme and found this song beautiful sadly written.

菊花台 CHRYSANTHEMUM FLOWER BED - 周杰倫 Jay Chou

妳　的淚光　柔弱中帶傷
Your tears reflect pain in its tenderness
慘白的月彎彎　勾住過往
The pale white crescent moon hooks onto the past
夜　太漫長　凝結成了霜
The endless night freezing into frost
是誰在閣樓上　冰冷的絕望
Who is in the loft, in icy cold despair

雨　輕輕彈　朱紅色的窗
Rain gently bouncing off the vermillon window
我一生在紙上　被風吹亂
My entire life on paper, messed up by the wind
夢　在遠方　化成一縷香
Dreams become faint in a faraway place
隨風飄散　妳的模樣
The image of you, drifting in the wind

菊花殘　滿地傷　妳的笑容已泛黃
Crushed chrysanthemums reflect our pain. Your smile has faded
花落人斷腸　我心事靜靜躺
Hearts broken into million pieces like petals falling, I lay my troubles aside
北風亂　夜未央　妳的影子剪不斷
Northern winds gush and the night is still young. Unable to shake off your shadow
徒留我孤單　在湖面　成雙
Leaving me alone with my reflection in the water

花　已向晚　飄落了燦爛
Flowers at dusk, fallen splendor
凋謝的世道上　命運不堪
Withering social values, unthinkable fate
愁　莫渡江　秋心拆兩半
Don’t cross the river. Worries tearing my heart into half
怕妳上不了岸　一輩子搖晃
Afraid that you will be unable to get back ashore, floating for the rest of your life

誰　的江山　馬蹄聲狂亂
Whose territory is this? Hysterical galloping of horses
我一身的戎裝　呼嘯滄桑
Fully armoured, My life whizzed me by
天　微微亮　妳輕聲的嘆
Coming dawn, you sigh softly
一夜惆悵　如此委婉
A melancholy night such tactful indirectness

Movie Trailer

Always Online

Found this web movie - 爱在线 Always Online (With English Subtitles), a notebook PC advertisement by Lenovo for model S10 thru googled and found it a nice touching sad story.

The story was telling a man had a cancer but he didn't want to let the girl know about it. Instead, he acted to her that he can't stand her anymore and wish to break off with her. Then he had her to contact him only online whenever she faces any difficulties so that she would live even though he would die. He die secretly with his spirit remains in the bear. the girl did not know but after she found out at his apartment, that's when he has to go ... ...

True love is when we know that we love someone when we want him/her to be happy. Even if that means we're not a part of their happiness.

The song - - "Always Online" by Lín Jùn Jié, 林俊杰 (a Singaporean chinese pop-singer born 1981) was featured in this webmovie. This song was in his sixth album, Sixology (Liu) which released on 18 October, 2008.

Try to listen and maybe, just like me somehow getting to love his songs.

CRIES IN A DISTANCE (英文版)

Cries in a distance
Can't stop the tremble
I'm just awaiting my turn

Hiding will never
Save me forever
The guns gonna get me for sure

Dear God I pray why won't you be my friend
Come to me and take my hand
Like mama would say
Everything will be okay

All I hear is three two one
The scream from the guns
And then one by one
No one gets to run
Someones dad or mom
Sister, brother and son
No... no...

All I feel is one two three
My tears start to bleed
Smell of roses on my feet
I feel sore
I fall
I call
I crawl

Cries in a distance
Can't stop the tremble
I'm just awaiting my turn

Hiding will never
Save me forever
The guns gonna get me for sure

Dear God I pray why won't you be my friend
Come to me and take my hand
Like mama would say
Everything will be okay

I feel sore
I fall
I call
I crawl

Near To You

"One Cell in the Sea" is the first studio album by A Fine Frenzy (an American band fronted by singer-songwriter and self-taught pianist Alison Sudol), released on July 17, 2007.

NEAR TO YOU - A Fine Frenzy

He and I had something beautiful
But so dysfunctional, it couldn't last
I loved him so but I let him go
'Cause I knew he'd never love me back

Such pain as this
Shouldn't have to be experienced
I'm still reeling from the loss
Still a little bit delirious

Near to you, I am healing
But it's taking so long
'Cause though he's gone
And you are wonderful
It's hard to move on
Yet, I'm better near to you

You and I have something different
And I'm enjoying it cautiously
I'm battle scarred, I am working oh so hard
To get back to who I used to be

He's disappearing
Fading subtly
I'm so close to being yours
Won't you stay with me
Please

Near to you, I am healing
But it's taking so long
'Cause though he's gone
And you are wonderful

It's hard to move on
Yet, I'm better near to you

I only know that I am
Better where you are
I only know that I am
Better where you are
I only know that I belong
Where you are

Near to you, I am healing
But it's taking so long
Though he's gone
And you are wonderful
It's hard to move on

Near to you, I am healing
But it's taking so long
'Cause though he's gone
And you are wonderful
It's hard to move on
Yet, I'm better near to you
Yet, I'm better near to you

Soulmate

“A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we’re pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we’re safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we’re two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we’ve found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.”

“If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were.”

We do not possess anything in this world, least of all other people. We only imagine that we do. Our friends, our lovers, our spouses, even our children are not ours; they belong only to themselves. Possessive and controlling friendships and relationships can be as harmful as neglect.

"Soulmate" is a pop song written and produced by Natasha Bedingfield, Mads Hauge and David Tench for Bedingfield's second album, N.B. (2007). The song was released as the album's second single in July 2007.

SOULMATE - Nastasha Bedingfield

Incompatible, it don't matter though

'cos someone's bound to hear my cry

Speak out if you do

You're not easy to find

Is it possible Mr. Loveable

Is already in my life?

Right in front of me

Or maybe you're in disguise

Who doesn't long for someone to hold

Who knows how to love you without being told

Somebody tell me why I'm on my own

If there's a soulmate for everyone

Here we are again, circles never end

How do I find the perfect fit

There's enough for everyone

But I'm still waiting in line

Who doesn't long for someone to hold

Who knows how to love you without being told

Somebody tell me why I'm on my own

If there's a soulmate for everyone

If there's a soulmate for everyone

Most relationships seem so transitory

They're all good but not the permanent one

Who doesn't long for someone to hold

Who knows how to love you without being told

Somebody tell me why I'm on my own

If there's a soulmate for everyone

Who doesn't long for someone to hold

Who knows how to love you without being told

Somebody tell me why I'm on my own

If there's a soulmate for everyone

If there's a soulmate for everyone

Fairy Tale (童話 Tong Hua)

Fairy Tale (童話 Tóng Huà) is the third solo album by Malaysian singer Michael Wong (光良) which released on Jan 2005.

Get to know the cantonese version 光良-童话[粤语DIY] but still prefer the original mandarin version. Is better to watch the MTV video rather than listening to the song. I know is a sad song but doesnt really know what exactly it means the first time I heard the song till I watched the MTV video completely.

I love the original MTV video when the piano is being push out to the stage, the guy make a call and place it on the piano while he performed on the stage. Dont understand the reason why he did so untill knowing that is for the girl to listen for the last time at the end. It makes me shed my tears everytime I watch it. It remind us once again to cherish, love and appreciate people that around us each day in our life and dont wait till it's too late.

"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."

童話 (TONG HUA/FAIRY TALE) - Michael Wong 光良

忘了有多久 I’ve forgotten how long it has been
再沒聽到你 Since the last time I heard you
對我說你最愛的故事 Tell me your favorite story

我想了很久 I have thought for a long time
我開始慌了 I start to panic
是不是我又做錯了什麼 Wondering if I have done something wrong again

你哭著對我說 You told me as you cried
童話裡都是騙人的 That everything in fairy tales are all lies
我不可能是你的王子 I couldn’t possibly be your prince.

也許你不會懂 But perhaps you don’t understand either
從你說愛我以后 Ever since you told me you loved me
我的天空星星都亮了 All the stars in my sky have brightened.

我願變成童話裡 I’m willing to become the one in the fairy tale
你愛的那個天使 The angel that you love
張開雙手 I extend this pair of hands
變成翅膀守護你 and turn them into wings to protect you
你要相信 You must believe
相信我們會像童話故事裡 Believe we will be like we are in a fairy tale
幸福和快樂是結局 Where blessings and happiness is the ending

一起寫我們的結局 Together we can write our own ending

If You're Not The One

Cant remember how I get to know this song recently, a song by a New Zealand-born, British singer-songwriter, Daniel John Bedingfield (December 1979). Dont know the singer well but love this song and the lyrics when the first time I hear it. Is so sensual and beautiful.

To love someone is to allow the person to point the gun at your heart and hope that he/she will not trigger it.

"How can one truly define what love is? Not even an experienced person can truly grasp or explain love to its truest and deepest meaning. Its concepts are just a never ending story of an open book of experiences. But love does lie in one's heart, where memories are but shadows lingering in our soul."

IF YOU'RE NOT THE ONE - John Bedingfield

If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call?
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all?

I never know what the future brings
But I know you're here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with

I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

If I don't need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?

I don't know why you're so far away
But I know that this much is true
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I'm praying you're the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life

I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

'Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
You know my heart is by your side

I don’t wanna run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
