changes make changes

Many behaviours are based on 
certain established beliefs, 
which can include 
faith in religion or 
in professional knowledge.

When beliefs and faith change, 
behaviours will also change accordingly.

These new behaviours may impact relationships 
that have been previously 
established with others:

Jobs may be terminated;
Romantic relationships may end, etc.
And it is difficult to restore them.


Chinese translation

很多行為,
是基於某些既定信念,
可以是對宗教的信仰;
對專業知識的信心等。
當信念、信仰有改變,

行為也會相應改變。

這些新行為可能會影響與他人在以前已建立的關係:
工作可能會被辭退;
戀情可能會被終止等。
而它很難復元。




Emmy The Great - Trellick Tower


You propelled yourself into the arms of God
And Christ and all the angels,
Now you're high above the people
Who you used to call your equals.
I will stay behind and live this life
You left me as a witness who
Can tidy up your business and
Record that someone lived here
In the shade of Trellick Tower
In those days of living gently
Something holy used to love me
Something holy used to touch me
Then he heard the voice I couldn't hear
He's gone to where it sent him
And now I'm praying for this pain to clear
He's waiting on ascension.

And now I'm praying but there's still no change
You're high as Trellick Tower
Throw your hair down when you let me spend
My life trying to climb you
And I'm praying till my knees don't fold
Praying till my hands don't close
Praying till my fingers close

And you've propelled yourself into the arms of God
And Christ and all the saints,
Now I've been walking through our house like
separation made it sacred.
I've been burying the books you left
I treat them like they're ancient
And I think relics ache for when the saint had breath
They miss the thing that changed them

And I'm a relic and you're so, so high
You're high as Trellick Tower
Throw your hair down when you let me spend
My life trying to climb you
And praying till my knees don't fold
Praying till my hands don't close
Praying till my fingers close

And in the shade of Trellick Tower
I spent a while trying to keep you
Tell all the people moving on, "hey,
Hey, something holy used to live here."
Now I'm a relic of a life gone by,
Kneeling to address the sky
And I'll keep praying till the binds untie
Praying but I don't know why
And I'll keep praying till the binds untie
Praying but I don't know why
Oh, I'll pray until the language dies,
Praying 'cos you're so, so high,
Can I spend my life trying to climb you?

Spiderman in the Spiderman World

When you are the only Spiderman in the world,
you need to conceal your 
Spiderman identity from others. 
Otherwise, you will be treated as 
an outcast as a Spiderman.

When you are one of the Spidermen 
in the Spiderman world, 

you do not need to conceal your 
Spiderman identity from others.
Otherwise, you will be treated as 
an outcast as a non-Spiderman.

But in a Spiderman world, 
Spidermen share some common things.
You will be treated as 
an outcast as a non-Spiderman 
if you cannot share their common things.

Get along well with each other before this world ends

It is quite rare that a pair of partners can have 
the same outlook towards life.

It is much more rare that they can have 
the same outlook towards death.

If they can have the same outlook towards 
life and death, 
they can get along well with each other 
before their world ends.

___________


In 《Come Come Everybody》which is the 105th morning Japanese series drama of the NHK station, the theme song (AI - Aldebaran(畢宿五恆星))
tenderly reminds all that 
they should get along well with 
their beloved partner : 
“Can we get along well with each other, 
before this world ends? ”。




AI唱的Aldebaran(畢宿五恆星)

君きみと私わたしは仲良なかよくなれるかな
你和我能好好相處嗎

この世界せかいが終おわるその前まえに
在這個世界終結之前

きっといつか儚はかなく枯かれる花はな
總有一天定會像短暫就枯萎的花朵

今いま、私わたしの出来できうる全すべてを
現在,我能做到的一切

笑わらって笑わらって 愛いとしい人ひと
笑一個 笑一個 做個可愛的人

不穏ふおんな未来みらいに 手てを叩たたいて
向險惡的未來拍拍手

君きみと君きみの大切たいせつな人ひとが幸しあわせであるそのために
你和最重要的你都是幸福的 為了這個目的

祈いのりながら sing a song
我一邊祈禱一邊唱歌

見上みあげてごらん煌きらめくアルデバランあるでばらん
抬頭看看閃耀的畢宿五恆星(Aldebaran)

溢あふれてくる涙なみだの理由わけを
對其訴說將流下眼淚的理由

またこうして笑わらって会あえるから
還會這樣笑著見面

ただ魂たましいの赴おもむく方ほうへ
只是向著靈魂前往的方向

紡つむいで紡つむいだ 心こころの糸いと
編織而成的心弦

ペテンぺてんな時代じだいに 負まけないように
為了不輸給騙人的時代

もしも君きみが不確ふたしかな明日あすに心こころ震ふるわせているのなら
如果你被不確定的明天內心顫抖

私わたしだってそうよ friend
我也是如此 friend

会あえない時ときの静寂せいじゃくが
見不到你時覺得寂靜

永遠えいえんにも思おもえる夜よる
永遠也能想到的夜晚

その孤独こどくに互たがいの愛あいを知しるの
在那孤獨中明白彼此的愛

だから 笑わらって笑わらって 愛いとしい人ひと
所以 笑一個 笑一個 做個可愛的人

不穏ふおんな未来みらいに 手てを叩たたいて
向險惡的未來拍拍手

君きみと君きみの大切たいせつな人ひとが幸しあわせであるそのために
你和最重要的你都是幸福的 為了這個目的

Afterglow - Masaki Kawsaki - afterglow

 

Dusk is always good,
sunset is very beautiful.
But afterglow is always fading quickly.
Sometimes its backlight turns bright,
yet it always darkens even faster.
This makes people feel depressed much more .

Love to watch the afterglow,
but only her brilliant brief,
refusing to look at its last moment.


Chinese Translation

黃昏總是好看,
夕陽又很醉人,
但餘暉多會快速淡暗下去;
就算它也有時會迴光一亮,
但跟著會突然暗黑,
更令人心情沉落。

愛看黃昏夕陽,
但祗看她燦爛的段落,
不看餘暉的最後一瞬。


Masaki Kawsaki - afterglow

Disposal of the past me

Today, I disposed of some old things.

Today, the present me said goodbye to 
a past me 
or 
some past me.

___________


I Said Goodbye to Me · Harry Nilsson




I said goodbye to me,
I looked in the mirror,
Then I began to cry.
I'll leave my things behind for all to see,
And hope that she will understand why.
Ending the game is like 
changing the name of your favorite song.
Step out of rhyme for the very first time and 
the song is gone.
There's nothing left to say,
I'll pack up my memories then I'll walk away.
I hope I'm doing right, but by tonight,
The horse and coach will be on his way.
I said goodbye to me,
I looked in the mirror,
Then I began to cry.
I'll leave my things behind for all to see,
And hope that she will understand why.

Hope there is much love and peace


No matter how a piece of art works may look like,

the creator must have some messages to express.

Of course, different audience may get 

different amount of messages from 

the piece of art works or even none.


But if the messages are about love and peace,

the audience can easily get most of its messages,

just because love and peace are 

the most basic demands for human survival.


Chinese Translation

無論一件藝術作品呈現出來是甚麼樣子,

創作者一定有些信息想表達。

當然受眾能感應的信息可多可少或者沒有。

但如果那些信息是有關愛與和平(Peace and Love)的,

受眾是很容易感應得到很多的,

因為愛與和平是人類生存最基本的訴求。

可記得
見證半個廣島 炸碎了 那張照片
勸你去猜想 世界無國界 那一闋歌
少女困斗室 晦暗裡記載 那一本書
有這些作品

你再置身事外 但是活在這地球
循環千秋萬代 善或恨原是自由
用我手中 一張相
換你手中 一張刀
用我手中 一首歌
換你手中 一把槍
愛真的面貌 用藝術呈現莫負擅長
只希望 默默地提示人類善良
用我手中 一本書
換你手中 一子彈
用我手中 一幅畫
換你手中 一勳章 去 說 明

燒毀 的小教堂響起 鐘聲
鐘聲 撫慰 雙方的 傷兵
傷兵 一眾 差不多 年齡
本應 相對 如男孩 友情
家鄉 的信 家鄉的 心聲
心聲 想你 烽煙中 細聽
簡單 的愛 簡單的 和平
才是 以後 路程

可記得
曾融和天與地 東跟西 繪於一面圍牆 的噴畫
圓圈裡那 撇與捺 加多一戙而成 的標誌
誰 曾肩負重任 用力地唱 盡力拍
落力畫滿 合力地說 但願沒有 世界大戰

你再置身事外 但是活在這地球
循環千秋萬代 善或恨原是自由
用我手中 一張相
換你手中 一張刀
用我手中 一首歌
換你手中 一把槍
愛真的面貌 用藝術呈現莫負擅長
只希望 默默地提示人類善良
用我手中 一本書
換你手中 一子彈
用我手中 一幅畫
換你手中 一勳章去喊停

燒毀 的小教堂響起 鐘聲
鐘聲 撫慰 雙方的 傷兵
傷兵 一眾 差不多 年齡
本應 相對 如男孩 友情
家鄉 的信 家鄉的 心聲
心聲 想你 烽煙中 反省
簡單 的愛 簡單的 和平
才是以後路程

燒毀 的小教堂響起 鐘聲
鐘聲 撫慰 雙方的 傷兵
傷兵 一眾 差不多 年齡
本應 相對 如男孩 友情
家鄉 的信 家鄉的 心聲
心聲 想你 烽煙中 細聽
簡單 的愛 簡單的 風景
藏著性命

翻新 的小教堂響起 歌聲
歌聲 擁抱 家鄉的 孤嬰
孤嬰 怎會 懂得這 文明
幾番 波折 才從頭 建成
天真 的笑 天真的 哭聲
哭聲 想你 於心中 見性
一體 的愛 一體的 心境
人類有靈

Set Scenes

Several specific scenes 
often appear in my dream.
And these specific scenes do not exist in reality.

So there are also set scenes in my dream.



Chinese Translation

我的夢
常出現幾個特定的場景
而那幾個場景
現實上是不存在的

我的夢
也有片場

Birds sing sad songs also

 I don't know why so many birds can sing 

sweet songs that appeal to human beings so much. 

I always think that birds sing their songs primarily 
for other birds of their same kinds for  
communciation and sharing among themselves,
but not for human beings. 

May be nature classifies birds and human beings 
as the same kind, so when the birds sing sweet songs, 
their songs mean the same sweetness to us. 

But birds do not always sing happy songs,
I always find birds sing sad songs,
it means the same sadness to me.

Jenny Wren · Paul McCartney




Like so many girls, Jenny Wren could sing
But a broken heart, took her soul away
Like the other girls, Jenny Wren took wing
She could see the world, and it's foolish ways
How, we, spend our days, casting, love aside
Loosing, site of life, day, by, day
She saw poverty, breaking all the home
Wounded warriors, took her song away
But the day will come, Jenny Wren will sing
When this broken world, mends its foolish ways
Now we, spend our days, catching, up on life
All because of you, Jenny Wren
