Noisy Life

Life is noisy.

But it makes me nervous if 

I can’t hear it.

TENBLANK 「永遠前夜」

I heard a familiar song

Just as I thought that, 

I realised it was your laughter

Before my heart could 

process it as mere coincidence

The sound of you flowed into 

the gaps inside my heart

When eternity looked at us with pity

You smiled as if you wondered why

At ease you rearranged the order of 

the important things inside me without asking

Instead of embracing each other, 

we silenced our voice and screamed

Even if mocked for being pathetic, 

you chose a life

No one had ever taught you

Your life is noisy

But it makes me uneasy if I can’t hear it

I know now that I can never go back to

Who I was before I knew you

When eternity looked at us with pity

You smiled as if you wondered why

At ease you rearranged the order of 

the important things inside me without asking

There is a song in this world

That only we can hear

To play that song

The meaning of life

Is insignificant

聽見了令人懷念的歌聲 

正這麼想著，

卻發現那只是你的笑聲 

在內心還來不及將其

當作「純屬偶然」來處理之前 

你的聲音就已經悄然流淌進

我的心防空隙中

當「永遠」看著我們，

露出憐憫的眼神時 

你卻顯得不可思議般地，

對著它展露笑顏 

你若無其事地，

把我心中那些珍視的事物 

擅自重新排列了順序

我們用隱忍的哭喊，

代替了彼此擁抱 

就算被嘲笑是

狼狽不堪也無所謂 

這是誰也沒有教過我們

由我們自己選中的生命 

當聽不見你那喧鬧的生命氣息時，

不知為何我便會感到不安 

我已經明白，

自己再也無法回到遇見你之前的

那個自己了

當「永遠」看著我們，

露出憐憫的眼神時 

你卻顯得不可思議般地，

對著它展露笑顏 

你若無其事地，

把我心中那些珍視的事物 

擅自重新排列了順序

在這個世界上，

有著唯獨我們才能聽見的歌 

如果為了讓它響起，

那我生命中應得的份額 

根本微不足道

在雙手觸碰的剎那，

便開始不斷隨之流逝 

即便這就是所謂的「活著」 

那又怎樣呢？

我已經不再聽任擺佈了

當「永遠」看著我們，

顯得無比羨慕般地朝我們走來時 

我們轉身奔跑，逃離它的身邊 

正因為無法成為「永遠」，

才有些事情是唯獨我才能做到的 

能夠演奏出的音符就在這裡 

現在，有了想要讓其聽見的那個人 

有了想要使其為之震顫的心跳

It turns into a blue sky,

Sometimes when it rains, 

I hope that it turns into a blue sky, 

just as I need at the moment.

But sometimes when there is a blue sky, 

I hope that it gives me a rainy day instead.

I had better follow 

the weather forecast more closely.

 Pomplamoose - Blue Sky (Electric Light Orchestra) 

Sun is shinin' in the sky

There ain't a cloud in sight

It's stopped rainin' everybody's in the play

And don't you know

It's a beautiful new day, hey hey

Runnin' down the avenue

See how the sun shines brightly in the city

On the streets where once was pity

Mr. Blue Sky is living here today, hey hey

Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why

You had to hide away for so long (so long)

Where did we go wrong?

Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why

You had to hide away for so long (so long)

Where did we go wrong?

Hey you with the pretty face

Welcome to the human race

A celebration, Mr. Blue Sky's up there waitin'

And today is the day we've waited for

Oh Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why

You had to hide away for so long (so long)

Where did we go wrong?

Hey there Mr. Blue

We're so pleased to be with you

Look around see what you do

Everybody smiles at you

Hey there Mr. Blue

We're so pleased to be with you

Look around see what you do

Everybody smiles at you

But soon comes Mr. Night creepin' over

Now his hand is on your shoulder

Never mind I'll remember you this

I'll remember you this way

Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why

You had to hide away for so long (so long)

Where did we go wrong?

Hey there Mr. Blue (sky)

We're so pleased to be with you (sky)

Look around see what you do (blue)

Everybody smiles at you

The Last Chance

We always learn something at a great cost, 

and then we do better to 

avoid paying the same cost again—

with tremendous regret if we don’t.

Mr Hong - From son to father

“I actually feel bad that I didn't spend much time with my dad.  That's why now I spend a lot of time focused on my mom......"

Mr. Hong: ..and you're playing a few songs. But before we jump into that, I want to talk a little bit about the moment you found out you were going to be a dad and what was going on through your mind?

Dad: Obviously I was excited, I was blessed

Dad: But on the other hand, I was a little worried - worried about health, worried about are we fit as parents

Dad: And obviously when you came along it became even bigger

Dad: I actually feel bad that I didn't spend much time with my dad

Dad: That's why now I spend a lot of time focused on my mom because without them, we would not be who we are today

Dad: If we decided to have a kid on our own, we need to take care of them

Dad: And give the best to them. We owe them, that's for sure we owe

Dad: But you don't owe us, because there isn't a contract or IOU in place for you to pay me back, there's nothing like that

Dad: But if you deep down feel that way, it's okay

Dad: Just like how I felt I owe her (grandma)

Dad: That's why she keeps telling me 'oh don't come, I feel bad about you coming!

Dad: I say, look mom, the reason why I'm here, I'm just trying to be appreciative of what you did for us

Dad: Not repay, to certain extent, just enjoy even furthermore of our relationship.

Fire！

To live your life, you need “fire”.

Most bad people have “fire”.

But most good people don’t—

like a stove of charcoal 

that’s almost gone out.

So they’re often called a “old nice guy.”

Actually, to be a good person, 

you also need “fire” 

to make life effective.

做人要有“火”,

一般壞人都好有“火”,

但一般好人就没有“火”，

像快熄滅的一爐炭火。

所以常被稱為“老好人”。

其實做好人都要有“火”，

要這樣先有效果。

Akeboshi - Wind

Cultivate your hunger before you idealize

Motivate your anger to 

make them all realize

Climbing the mountain, 

never coming down

Break into the contents, 

never falling down

My knee is still shaking like 

I was twelve

Sneaking out the classroom 

by the back door

A man railed at me twice, 

though, but I didn't care

Waiting is wasting for people like me

Don't try to live so wise

Don't cry 'cause it's alright

Don't dry with fakes or fears

'Cause you will hate yourself in the end

Don't try to live so wise

Don't cry 'cause it's alright

Don't dry with fakes or fears

'Cause you will hate yourself in the end

You say "Dreams, are dreams"

I ain't gonna play the fool anymore

You say "'Cause I've still got my soul"

Take your time, baby, 

your blood need slowing down

Breach yourself to reach yourself 

before you gloom

Reflection of fear make shadows of nothing

Shadows of nothing

You still are blind if 

you see a winding road

'Cause there's always a straight way

to the point you see

Don't try to live so wise

Don't cry 'cause it's alright

Don't dry with fakes or fears'

Cause you will hate yourself in the end

Don't try to live so wise

Don't cry 'cause it's alright

Don't dry with fakes or fears

'Cause you will hate yourself in the end

Don't try to live so wise

Don't cry 'cause it's alright

Don't dry with fakes or fears'

Cause you will hate yourself in the end

'Cause you will hate yourself in the end

'Cause you will hate yourself in the end

'Cause you will hate yourself in the end

'Cause you will hate yourself in the end

Father's Let Go

Many people have the memories of 

how their fathers taught them to swim, 

to ride a bicycle, 

or to assemble a 1.000-piece puzzle, etc.

To learn such techniques, 

fathers at some point would finally change 

to let their children 

navigate the learning process independently. 

The fathers ultimately let go, 

but that doesn't mean 

they've given up on helping their children.

"Let go" is not "Give up".

Eason Chan - Bicycle

陳奕迅 - 單車

Don’t—don’t assume I already know. 

Everything—everything—was done for me.

Why is it so great? 

It doesn’t feel like it.

If you don’t say a single word— 

isn’t that kind of love the best?

Only once—remembering— 

I really got to touch it.

You and I, riding on bicycles, 

embracing with our bodies pressed close.

Hard to let go, hard to part— 

just want to hold on tighter. 

This endless life feels like a wilderness.

Like a child resting on a father’s shoulder— 

who would ever get off?

Hard to let go, hard to part— 

there are always some things. 

And ordinary feelings—

nothing like them can be stacked or piled away.

No matter how cruel the world may be, 

when I think of this bicycle, 

there’s still happiness I can borrow.

It has already been given to me— 

how could I not see it?

Although playing the role for you 

is really difficult, 

I’ve always been waiting in the empty space.

Why not give me a hug?

How am I supposed to believe this whole setup? 

You care for me so much— 

but it’s inconvenient for you to let me know.

I miss the bicycle— 

the one hug I had with you, 

the only one.

Hard to let go, hard to part— 

just want to hold on tighter. 

This endless life feels like a wilderness.

Like a child resting on a father’s shoulder— 

even if the long road is far, 

even if it’s full of slopes.

Love me—love me a little more— 

so that when I go on in the future, 

I can be stronger.

Do you mind coming to protect and care for me? 

But then who would give that as charity?

Hard to let go, hard to part— 

just want to hold on tighter. 

This endless life feels like a wilderness.

Like a child resting on a father’s shoulder— 

who would ever get off?

Hard to let go, hard to part— 

there are always some things— 

and ordinary feelings are simply not something 

that can be heaped up or piled on.

Let the world hate me for being bad— 

but don’t you know that all I have is only you? 

To endure my wildness, 

my wildness and recklessness.

歌詞

不要 不要假設我知道

一切 一切也都是為我而做

為何這麼偉大?

如此感覺不到

不說一句的愛有多好?

只有一次記得實在接觸到

騎著單車的我倆

懷緊貼背的擁抱

難離難捨想抱緊些 

茫茫人生好像荒野

如孩兒能伏於爸爸的肩膊 

誰要下車?

難離難捨總有一些 

常情如此不可堆卸

任世間再冷酷 

想起這單車 還有幸福可借

經已給我 怎會看不到?

雖說演你角色實在有難度

從來虛位以待

何不給個擁抱?

想我怎去相信這一套

多疼惜我 卻不便讓我知道

懷念單車給你我

唯一有過的擁抱

難離難捨想抱緊些 

茫茫人生好像荒野

如孩兒能伏於爸爸的肩膊 

哪怕遙遙長路多斜

你愛我愛多些 

讓我他朝走得堅壯些

你介意來愛護 

又靠誰施捨?

難離難捨想抱緊些 

茫茫人生好像荒野

如孩兒能伏於爸爸的肩膊 

誰要下車?

難離難捨總有一些 

常情如此不可堆卸

任世間怨我壞 

1可知我只得你 

承受我的狂或野

My First Love Song

Back in my secondary school days, 

there was a pair of schoolmates 

in another class of the same grade 

who caught my eye one day.

I must have fallen in love with one of them, 

because whenever I listened to a pop song, 

she kept appearing in my thoughts.

And that pop song became my first love song.

Ultimately, I never got to know her, 

because there was zero chance to 

interact with her ever after.

Still, that pop song remained my favorite, 

held exclusively for her.

The Bee Gees - You Know It's For You

I will die for you

I have cried for you, believe me girl

Don't you think it's time 

you made up your own mind?

All my love's for you

All I do's for you

Still I think it's time 

you made up your own mind

My melody, my symphony

You know it's for you, love

It's plain to see, it's meant to be

Now it's up to you, love

Still I'll wait for you

Waiting just for you, 

don't leave me girl

Don't you think it's time 

you made up your own mind?

Love is here for you

Love was made for you, 

believe me girl

Don't you think it's time you gave up?

You are mine

Doo doo doo doo doo doo, 

you know it's for you

Rainy Mondays

There is a simple way to test 

whether you are a sentimental person or not.

You can ask yourself if 

rainy days and Mondays always get you down.

"Yes, rainy days always get me down. 

I am sure that I am a sentimental person."

"Yes, Mondays always get me down. 

Yet, I don't think it proves that 

I am a sentimental person; 

it just proves that I am a sensitive person 

who is upset by the brutal difference  

between Sunday and Monday." 

有一個簡單的方法可以測試你是不是一個感性的人。

你可以問問自己，

下雨天和星期一總是讓你心情低落。 

「是的，下雨天總是讓我心情低落。

我肯定我是個感性的人。」

「是的，星期一總是讓我心情低落。

但我不認為這就證明我是一個感性的人；

這只是證明我是一個敏感的人，

會因為星期天和星期一之間巨大的差異

而感到有點人生有上有落。」

Carpenters - Rainy Days And Mondays

Talking to myself and feeling old

Sometimes I'd like to quit

Nothin' ever seems to fit

Hangin' around

Nothin' to do but frown

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

What I've got they used to call the blues

Nothin' is really wrong

Feelin' like I don't belong

Walkin' around

Some kind of lonely clown

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

Funny, but it seems 

I always wind up here with you

Nice to know somebody loves me

Funny, but it seems that 

it's the only thing to do

Run and find the one who loves me 

(the one who loves me)

What I feel has come and gone before

No need to talk it out (talk it out)

We know what it's all about

Hangin' around (hangin' around)

Nothin' to do but frown

Rainy days and Mondays always 

get me down

Funny, but it seems that 

it's the only thing to do (only thing to do)

Run and find the one who loves me (ooh)

What I feel has come and gone before

No need to talk it out (to talk it out)

We know what it's all about

Hangin' around (hangin' around)

Nothin' to do but frown 

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

Hangin' around (hangin' around)

Nothin' to do but frown

Rainy days and Mondays always get

Me down

Circus on the Run

I liked watching circus performances 

when I was young. 

The performances of 

clowns, acrobats, and animals—

including elephants, lions, 

tigers, horses and monkeys—

were always hilarious and splendid. 

Nowadays, circuses featuring 

both animals and humans 

have become scarce because 

animal performances are considered inhumane, 

and many countries have banned them. 

Today, most circuses comprise only 

human performers. 

However, I now don't like watching 

these human-only performances 

because, to me, they are still inhumane.

Salyu「iris～しあわせの箱～」MUSIC VIDEO

あなたの方が知っていた私が大事にしてたもの 

約束もせずに手を振っまた会えることを信じ

てた 

車窓は流れ出す 景色のフレーム

そっとそっと始まりを映し出し始める 

二人で生きる理由を

貫くような眼差しで確かめ合った今でも息衝く痛みは 

誓いそのもの 

記憶 それ以上の何

か

あなたが置いた約束

そのままずっとかばってるもう会えないとしても 

いく いつも私の箱にしまっ

て

 それぞれの想いで同じ唄を愛した過ぎ行く時の彼方に響くメロディ 

違う景色の中にも

同じ色が輝いてることを知ったの 

背中合わせの間にある温もりを 

きっと感じていける 

「失わずには前に進めない」

そんな想いも手品みたいに種を明かされることを待ってる 

鉄路の先を辿って

フレームは新しい街を宿したサヨナラを唄に出来たらまた 

ても あなたに出会える どこに 

い 

違う景色の中にも

同じ色が輝いてることを知ったの

背中合わせの間にある温もりを 

ずっと感じていける

You knew better than I did 

what I cherished

I waved goodbye without 

making any promises, 

believing we would meet again

The scenery outside the car window flows by, 

framed gently, gently, 

beginning to reflect the beginning

The reason we lived together

We confirmed it with piercing gazes, 

and the pain that still breathes

is the vow itself, 

a memory, something more

The promise you made

I've been protecting it all this time, 

even if we can never meet again

I'll keep it in my box forever

We loved the same song with 

our own feelings, 

the melody resonating beyond 

the passing time

I learned that the same color shines even 

in different scenery

I'm sure I can feel the warmth 

between our backs

"You can't move forward without 

losing something," 

that feeling is waiting to be revealed 

like a magic trick

Following the railway tracks

The frame holds a new town 

If I could turn this farewell into a song

I'll meet you again

Where

Even in different scenery

I realized the same colors are shining

I can always feel the warmth 

between our backs
