Listen to the songs for a week so far, and am still listening. I think we just like old songs sometimes, which link us back to that time moment.
赵传 is a rocker type of singer from Taiwan in the early 90s. His songs somehow sang out the dreams/secrets/regrets/etc inside us. Not so sure how many albums he released already (8 - 10 maybe??). Several songs pretty much burned into our minds and some are always lingering in our minds.
Back then, we were still in high school. Listened to his song and tried to fit our moods into each songs (ha... act cool, who didn't?). I particularly like this 约定 album more than his other albums (those famous songs in other albums like: I am ugly but I am gentle, I am a small small bird :P).
In this album, I like song #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, and #9. Listening to this album also made me think of many things. Or say, years later, we finally can really understand what he sang about (than 15 years ago).
Few highlights:
Song#1, 爱要怎么说出口
"第一次握你的手指间传来你的温柔..."
- You damn right, you might have held many girls' hands but who could forget the first time when you held the girl's hand?
Song#2 唱不完的情唱不完的爱
"眼泪再次滑落到胸口我傻呼呼的看着自己脚下的影子难过..."
- Those who got dumped, who could forget singing this song X times in Karaoke and then got drunk?
Song#4, 那年的话
- Man, this song really hits me now. I want to put the whole lyric here.
走出家门的那个夏天早上 倾盆的雨狠狠敲痛脸庞
我对自己说你要咬紧牙关 成功才能回来
一事无成躲在公寓床上 邻居老人谈起当年时光
他说孩子人生这么短暂 抱紧你的梦想别跟我一样荒唐
趁着梦还在你的前方紧握住不要放 你只有这一次选择
梦还在你的前方忍着痛向前闯 别忘了你那年的话
理想现实交战的那个晚上 口袋剩下没有几个铜板
男人的苦说来都是一样 谁也不愿多讲都藏在你我的胸膛
趁着梦还在你的前方紧握住不要放 你只有这一次选择
梦还在你的前方忍着痛向前闯 别忘了你那年的话
- Struggling now... need to chase the dream and face the real life.
Song#5, 你我的约定
"... 经过多少年一切都已无法找回
你我却都背负着各自的疲惫
是否该丢掉心中的累赘
擦乾这些年来的眼泪
别忘了当年你我的约定
希望能总有一天再次相聚
共同分享彼此过去的经历
再从头展现当年的豪气 ..."
- Pretty sure this is the MUST-SING song for those in senior year back then.
Song#9, 让我再一次拥着你
"嘿，，，如果真的有另一个开始你是否会回来这里望一眼
嘿，，，如果真的有另一个从前我想找回故事开始的那一天..."
- I think this song whipped all the stupid guys who got dumped due to their stupidity towards girls. Regret? too late dude... :P Remember, don't do stupid things, got dumped, and then regret :).
Song #8 沉默的羔羊
"当别人误解我的时候我总是沈默沈默对我来说其实是一种反驳.."
- This song just made me think of my buddy - Hwa. Hwa liked to play innocent sometimes. Song #8 is his theme song back then. Part of the lyric: When people misunderstood me, I keep it silence. Silence to me is actually how I fight back.... (Hwa, still remember you theme song?)
Anyway, good album to talk about, you want?
Ouch... hurt!
Shit, not just minor scratch, paint also got off, can see the inside.
