The Moon is Out

Autumn is a season of harvest. 

As Mid-Autumn Festival arrives, 

the yield of our hard work is already set. 

Whether the harvest is 

abundant, modest, or lean, 

let us celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival 

with joy and 

fill our lives with positive energy.

Gregory Alan Isakov - Sweet Heat Lightning

Monsters beneath your bed

What’s real, what’s in your head

Moon’s out, my mother’s house is empty

Come and find me now

Sweet heat lightning falls 

Blue crack of light and that’s all 

Calling you to sing 

You drive, 

let’s see where this ends 

Let’s let the wheels wear out 

Sweet heat lightning falls 

Blue crack of light and that’s all 

Calling you to sing

Calling you

Positive Mindset for Celebrating 

Mid-Autumn Festival

慶祝中秋節的正向思維

秋天是收成的季節。

到了中秋節的時段，

收成多少都已經有了結果。

無論是豐收、歉收或失收，

都要快快樂樂慶祝中秋節，

為生活增加正能量。

My Time is Out of Control

Time flies—
its speed varies
at different stages of life.

I can control the speed of my car
when I’m driving,
but I can’t control
how fast time passes.

 Wave - From Birth to Death  

All Things Expire

All things expire.

The expiry date exists but 

it is always ignored.

No need to be cynical,

No need to be hysterical.

The Visitor - Sienna Spiro  

 

We lay on towers, on rented time

I'm yours for hours, you're always mine

All things expire, I know you won't stay

But I seem to inspire you to say

Say that you love me

Say I'm all you need

In the back of my mind, I

Know I'm temporary

You're holding me for the night 

for some pleasure

If that's all we are

Know I'll always be a visitor, mm

In your arms

It's in my nature to be cynical

I want to be remembered, 

so I get hysterical

I wanna be that one thing, 

somethin' special to you

Say you won't forget me, 

but you always do

Then say that you love me

Say I'm all you need

In the back of my mind, I

Know I'm tеmporary

You're holding me for the night 

or somе pleasure

If that's all we are

Know I'll always be a visitor, mm

In your arms, in your arms, oh

Out of sight, out of mind

In some decades ago, since the early 2000s,

the earth was said to become flat.

Wherever she goes, she is always in sight.

Now, since the early 2020s,

the earth is becoming round again.

Wherever she goes beyond the horizon,

she is not in sight,

and even her shadow cannot be seen.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Mark Knopler - Wherever I go

Maybe I'm bound to wander

From one place to the next

Heaven knows why

But in the wild blue yonder

Your star is fixed

In my sky

Just another bar, at a cross roads

So far from home

But that's alright

Whenever I'm going down the dark road

I don't feel alone in the night

There's a place in my heart

Though we're far apart

May you always know?

No matter how long since I saw you

I keep the flame there for you

Wherever I go

They're looking too close up in here

Pulling down the blinds

But they'll let you stay a while

And I'm going, in a while

Now I've got leave you, brother

So this round's mine

Just looking at you, anyhow

You can go on and have another

You wouldn't, call time

I'm gonna say my goodbye's now

There's a place in my heart

Though we're far apart

May you always, know?

No matter how long since I saw you

I keep the flame there for you

Wherever I go

Soaring High to Search and Find

Sometimes I imagine, 

Being able to fly above 

the mountains and trees, 

soaring high.

Looking down from that height, 

I might find even more 

of the beautiful scenery, 

Hidden deep within

the mountains and woods.

The Bee Gees - Search, Find

Don't let the day keep movin' on

With tears and pride, they hide the sun

Look to the road that lies ahead

I'm turnin' to the dream we left to die

Dyin' alone, cry for the moment 

you passed me by

Baby, I don't now how

I'm only cryin' now

Search, find

No stone unturned, no hell, no fury

Gon' stop my love in all its glory

Search, find

No man, no God, no pain can sever

My love for you, God, we're forever

Don't lose the will to make it right

A day is just a brighter night

And from the flames, a dyin' love

Can learn to fly and rise above in me

All that we are, 

you are the heart of my everything

Maybe I lose my mind

I'm not the losin' kind

To Delay or To Reset

When love is beginning to fade,

there are choices of action ahead.

One choice is to reset the love;

it is somewhat a delay tactic,

to wait and see whether love can come back.

Another one is to reset life to 

start all things new.

It is a sort of quick decision

to cut further possible losses caused

by the love affair.

VIDA Hollywood「Starving Love」

I'm starving love

I fall in love, forget

夢の中で All reset

Starving love

進まない Regret

Nothing left behind, no

去り際の愛しささえも

触れる手の平だけだもの

Just tell me, baby

Ain't know we're still in a romance?

Holding you still makes no sense

I don't need no solace

会いたいのは Fake?

Like a cake

満たされればもう忘れるの

甘い記憶は残らない

Why, why

I'm starving love

I fall in love, forget

夢の中で All reset

I’m starving love

進まない Regret

Nothing left behind, no

わけじゃないけどただ馴れ合い

自分にさえも

I can't tell a lie without

Having a second thought

退屈になれば終わらすの

また終わらすの?

何度も Bye, bye, bye

もう飽きた Word

満たされない?

Starving Love

我飢渴著愛

墮入愛河，隨後忘卻

在夢境中，一切重置

渴望愛的撫慰

毫無進展的後悔

最終什麼也沒留下，沒有

連離去時的那份依戀

也只剩雙手相觸時的餘溫

告訴我吧，寶貝

難道不知道我們仍在浪漫之中嗎？

緊抱著你卻依然毫無意義

我不需要任何安慰

想見你的心情只是假象嗎？

就像一塊蛋糕

只要得到了滿足，就會轉眼遺忘

甜蜜的記憶不會留下痕跡

為什麼，究竟是為什麼

我飢渴著愛

墮入愛河，隨後忘卻

在夢境中，一切重置

我渴望著愛

毫無進展的後悔

最終什麼也沒留下，沒有

我渴望著愛

即使被愛著，也會忘記

哪怕被滿足，也全部重置

我渴望著愛

停不下來的香煙

最終什麼也沒留下，沒有

並非故意，卻只是習慣性地妥協安於現狀

甚至連對我自己

我都無法毫無顧忌地說謊

而不去反覆斟酌

感到厭倦了就要結束嗎？

又要再次結束了嗎？

無數次的 Bye, bye, bye

早就聽膩的詞彙

依然無法被滿足嗎？

我飢渴著愛

墮入愛河，隨後忘卻

在夢境中，一切重置

我渴望著愛

毫無進展的後悔

最終什麼也沒留下，沒有

我渴望著愛

即使被愛著，也會忘記

哪怕被滿足，也全部重置

我渴望著愛

停不下來的香煙

最終什麼也沒留下，沒有

渴望愛的撫慰

James Blunt - Stop the Clock

Don't kill time. 

If time is dead, 

the killer will be punished by 

being arrested and handcuffed. 

He is left trapped and can 

only watch life slip away. 

 James Blunt - Stop the Clock 

Did it take you a minute to realize that 

I'm deep in it?

'Cause it feels like hours, 

I've been stuck here thinking

I get down, down on my knees

Begging, begging, please

Every single prayer's wasted in the air (hey)

It's like the hands of time (oh-oh)

Are putting handcuffs on mine (oh-oh)

And nothing about this is holy

It's just killing me, killing me slowly

And I'm not ready yet (oh-oh)

But I'm running outta breath (oh-oh)

And all I can do is watch

'Cause I can't find a way

To stop the clock

Mmm, mmm

Whoa-oh, mm

Mmm, mmm

Whoa-oh

I hear that long, black train, 

it's running outta track

And I'm no coward but right now, 

I've got no powers

Oh, no more you and me, 

we all get eulogies

But most of them, I swear, 

are wasted in the air (hey)

It's like the hands of time (oh-oh)

Are putting handcuffs on mine (oh-oh)

And nothing about this is holy

It's just killing me, killing me slowly

And I'm not ready yet (oh-oh)

But I'm running outta breath (oh-oh)

And all I can do is watch

'Cause I can't find a way

I can't find a way to 

stop the hourglass now (ooh, ooh)

Sand just slips away and 

life goes way too fast (hey)

It's like the hands of time 

(you're taking away from me)

Are putting handcuffs on mine

 (they'll never set me free)

And nothing about this is holy

It's just killing me, killing me slowly

And I'm not ready yet 

(I don't want you to leave)

But I'm running outta breath 

(one step ahead of me)

And all I can do is watch

But I can't find a way

To stop the clock

'Welcome back!'

Whenever you are hurt, 

for whatever reasons, 

or by whoever,

it is a blessing that 

you can have a home to go back to, 

and some family members say to you, 

'Welcome back!'

Motoki Ohmori – 「0.2mm」

Little hands

Sunlight filtering through the trees

A gentle breeze

The day I came home crying

Another gentle breeze

Heard in the distance:

The bouncing of a ball

That kind child’s Cheerful voice

“I’m home”

“Hey, listen...”

“Welcome back”

“How was your day?”

The more I try to understand love

The more I only drift away from it

No matter where I am

No matter what I do

You are in my heart

You live in everything

My stomach growls

And I snap back to reality

Saying this life passes in the blink of an eye

Saying I want to become just a little kinder

Well, easier said than done

Learning the rhythm of a world

that isn't sweet

It’s okay to run away

It’s okay to cry

I realize that being myself

Is more important than anything else

I come to know love

“I’m home”

“Hey, listen...”

“Welcome back”

“How was your day?”

Those joined hands

Hold an unwavering warmth

No matter where I am

No matter what I do

You are in my heart

You live in everything

“I’m home” “Welcome back”

小手 陽光透過樹葉的縫隙

微風 那天我哭著回家

又一陣微風

我能在很遠的地方聽到

球彈起

那個善良的孩子

快樂的聲音

我到家了

嘿，聽我說 歡迎回來

今天是什麼樣的一天？

如果你想了解愛情

我只是遠離愛情

無論你在哪裡

不管你在做什麼

你在我心裡

你生活在一切之中

我餓了

我感到如釋重負

生活過得真快

我說我想變得更友善一點。

嗯，就說吧

了解不安世界的節奏

逃跑也沒關係

哭也沒關係

做自己比什麼都重要

我知道

懂得愛

我到家了

嘿，聽我說

歡迎回來

今天是什麼樣的一天？

曾經相連的雙手

是堅定不移的溫暖

無論你在哪裡

不管你在做什麼

你在我心裡

你生活在一切之中

我到家了

歡迎回來

ちいさな手

木漏れ日

そよ風

泣いて帰った日

また そよ風

遠くで聞こえる

ボールが跳ねた

優しいあの子の

楽しそうな声

ただいま

ねぇ聞いてよ

おかえり

今日はどんな日だった?

愛を知ろうとすれば

愛から遠ざかるばっかなんだ

どこに居ても

何をしていても

心にあなたが居る

全てにあなたは生きる

お腹が空いて

ハッとする

もうあっという間の人生だと

あと少し優しくなりたいんだと言う

まぁ言うだけ言う

甘くない世の中のリズムを知る

逃げてもいい

泣いてもいい

私で居ることが何より大切だと

私は知る

愛を知る

ただいま

ねぇ聞いてよ

おかえり

今日はどんな日だった?

繋いだその手と手は

揺るぎない温かさなんだ

どこに居ても

何をしていても

心にあなたが居る

全てにあなたは生きる

ただいま

The Black Hole of Gambling

I once won a third prize 

in the Hong Kong Mark Six lottery, 

getting around $8,000. 

How happy I was, 

as it gave me hope that 

I could get rich by 

winning an even bigger prize 

in the future. 

Thereafter, I kept buying the Mark Six until 

I had used up all of my previous winning, 

losing every single time.

The Alan Parson Project - 

The Turn of a Friendly Card Part I & II 

The Turn of a Friendly Card Part I 

There are unsmiling faces and 

bright plastic chains

And a wheel in perpetual motion

And they follow the races and 

pay out the gains

With no show of an outward emotion

And they think it will 

make their lives easier

For God knows up till now 

it's been hard

But the game never ends when 

your whole world depends

On the turn of a friendly card

No, the game never ends when 

your whole world depends

On the turn of a friendly card

There's a sign in the desert that 

lies to the west

Where you can't tell 

the night from the sunrise

And not all the king's horses and 

all the king's men

Have prevented the fall of the unwise

For they think it will 

make their lives easier

And God knows up till now 

it's been hard

But the game never ends when 

your whole world depends

On the turn of a friendly card

No, the game never ends 

when your whole world depends

On the turn of a friendly card

But a pilgrim must follow 

in search of a shrine

As he enters inside the cathedral

The Turn of a Friendly Card Part II 

There are unsmiling faces 

in fetters and chains
On a wheel in perpetual motion
Who belong to all races and 

answer all names
With no show of an outward emotion

And they think it will make their lives easier
But the doorway before them is barred
And the game never ends when 

your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card
No the game never ends when 

your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card

Losing balance

When does a person begin to realize that 

he is getting old?

Among many triggers, 

one is when he boards a double-decker bus, 

he chooses not to go up to the upper deck, 

being afraid he might fall down the stairs 

if he loses his balance.

 

Hollow Coves - From the Second Floor

He tried to see the light

Limbs failed when 

he fell down from the couch

With fear in his eyes

He tried to talk but 

the words wouldn't come out

Seemed like he lost his mind

Felt helpless as he rolled around the floor

Sent shivers down my spine

What has he done? 

Will his mind ever come back?

But everyday people try to 

numb all their pain

Or they say it's just fun and games, 

living while they're young

And every time all they do is 

mess with their mind

Think about the rest of your life, 

you only get one

Then suddenly outside

He jumped headfirst from the second floor

Sent shivers down my spine

What has he done? 

Has his time really run out?

But everyday people try to 

numb all their pain

Or they say it's just fun and games, 

living while they're young

And every time all they do is 

mess with their mind

Think about the rest of your life, 

you only get one

When the road ahead of me is long

When I was young,

I walked very fast, feeling that

the road ahead of me was long and 

I wanted to advance faster.

Now I walk a little slower.

Though the road is still long,

I like taking the time

to stop and look around.

Passenger - this road is long

Well this road is long and 

I'm so far from my home

Some days I don't recognise myself

Though my faith is strong 

there is still so far to go

Some nights I cant help but doubt myself

For I'm not the kid I used to be 

back when I was young

I talk now where I used to shout

I walk where I used to run

But I'm still my fathers boy 

I am still my mothers son

And they know like I know 

that the road is long

Well this road is long and 

the paths not always clear

Some days I don't know 

which way to go

Though my heart is strong 

it gets heavy with fear

Some nights I wonder if I'll ever know

For I'm not the man I'll grow to be 

In many years to come

I'll listen where I used to speak and 

I'll sit where I used to run

Maybe a husband to a wife 

maybe a father to a son

And they'll know like I know

That the road is long

For now I'm just the man I am

Nothing less and nothing more

I'm everything I have become

From all that's been before

I've never really known a lot

But one thing I am sure that I know

Yes I know

That the road is long

Burning Out for Something

Some people are not willing to 

burn out for a job.

But these people may be willing to 

burn out for a career.

Neil Young - My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue)

My my, hey hey
Rock and roll is here to stay
It's better to burn out than to fade away
My my, hey hey

Out of the blue and into the black
They give you this, but you pay for that
And once you're gone you can't come back
When you're out of the blue and into the black

The king is gone but he's not forgotten
This is the story of Johnny Rotten
It's better to burn out than it is to rust
The king is gone but he's not forgotten

My my, hey hey
Rock and roll is here to stay
Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture than meets the eye
Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die

 

Love Lost on Valentine's Day

If your lover tells you 

she is going to end the relationship 

on Valentine's Day, she is cruel,

she wants to ruin 

your future Valentine's Days 

with anyone else for the rest of your life. 

If you smell any sign that 

a breakup might happen, 

do not celebrate Valentine's Day with her.

Don't give her the chance.

14th of February 1899

The British ship Veronica was lost without a sign

Baa, baa, black sheep, you haven't any wool

Captain Richardson left himself a lonely wife in Hull

Cherub, I lost a ship in the Baltic Sea

I'm on an iceberg running free

Sitting, filing this berg to the shape of a ship

Sailing my way back to your lips

One passing ship gave word that

You have moved out of your old flat

You love the Vicar more than words can say

Tell him to pray that I won't melt away

And I'll see your face again

Odessa

How strong am I?

Odessa

How time goes by

Treasure, you know the neighbors that live next door

They haven't got their dog anymore

Freezing, sailing around in the North Atlantic

Can't seem to leave the sea anymore

I just don't understand, why you just moved to Finland

You love that Vicar more than words can say

Ask him to pray that I won't melt away

And I'll see your face again

Odessa

How strong am I?

How time goes by

The World Needs Changes

When I was young, 

I wanted to change the world. 

As I grew older, 

I realized I was not one of those 

chosen to change it—

though I have witnessed 

how those people do, 

sometimes for the better, 

sometimes for the worse.

Ten Years After - I'd Love to Change the World 

Everywhere is freaks and hairies, 

dykes and fairies

Tell me where is sanity?
Tax the rich, feed the poor, 

'til there are no rich no more
I'd love to change the world - 

but I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you

Population - keeps on breeding, 

nation bleeding,
Still more feeding economy
Life is funny, skies are sunny, 

bees make honey
Who needs money? 

Monopoly!
I'd love to change the world - 

but I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you... 

Oh yeah

World pollution, there's no solution, 

institution, electrocution
Just black and white, 

rich or poor, 

them and us
We'll stop the war!
I'd love to change the world - 

but I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you... 

It's called luck

Hardly Tell My Own Stories

I like telling stories when 

I have an audience, 

but I don't get much of one 

from my social connections.

Sometimes my family members 

become my audience, 

such as at family gatherings. 

I like to take these opportunities to 

tell them stories of all kinds, 

frequently inserting my own 

past life experiences.

However, my family members usually 

stop me from telling my old personal stories 

because they have already heard them 

a hundred times.

They spoke of weakness and of might

The spoke of people in the snow

And distant places long ago

The spoke of fire and falling rain

Of health and wealth and death and pain

Nah....
