Almost couldn’t make it today as I was rushing to finish off my solo story for issue 1 of the epub. We are rushing to the finishing line now, 90-95% there on all stories except this one I’m wrapping up today. So today’s post will have to be another lyric post.
The following song is a Cantonese pop duet sung by Anita Mui who had already passed away, I really liked her husky voice for one who often appreciates the lyrics more than the tune. The title of the song is called “The heart is still cold”. As you can tell from the title, it’s a bit of a morose song but has a somewhat positive ending. By the way, if you feel a sense of déjà vu about the lyrics, that’s because I used it as a writing prompt earlier for my Random Writing series. It goes as follows:
(F) Seen through all the cold stares My heart is used to them and do not sigh for them
Cold laughter seemingly dissipate suppressing the brilliance within my dreams
Love is like cold rain that intermittently comes back and forth
Making me experiencing enough of coming together and drifting apart so I frequently walk alone now
(M) Having loved and hurt also because depression loves to lean on me exclusively
Cold arrows pounce on me even though I’ve fallen down on my behinds all by myself
A love that will accompany one to old age is ultimately rare
Love often plays tricks on me I am passing through amidst stumbles and falls
(F&M) Still caring about you a lot but my heart hurts
Cannot help passing off love to another in the final end
The cold night is long and deep dream is deeper
One is gradually used to continuing drifting along the path of love
(Tomorrow I continue to drift along the path of love)
(F&M) The star dust in the sky is like eyes that secretly weep
As if weeping for the lost youth that hasn’t returned
Now alone (I) silently sigh
Endless indifference and coldness are already left on the roads.
