勞斯．萊斯...revisited

As others have said, this song doesn't sound as good as it usually does.  Perhaps hocc just can't get into it the way she did before.  Or perhaps it's sort of lost its meaning and significance to both her and everyone listening.

Maybe it's just me, but while she's singing this, it seems she's sad and trying to hold back the tears.  Or maybe I'm projecting my thoughts and emotions on it.  Who knows.  After all, this song gets to me every time.  It' just too close to home.

Not sure why I did it, but when this song came up on my iPod today while I was driving, I put it on loop.  For almost the entire drive home, I listened to this song over and over again.  Perhaps I (still) get some comfort from it.  Perhaps it's a bit of motivation.

The song says a lot, and I can relate to every line in it.  The irony is it came at the most (in)appropriate time.  Perhaps most people like the last part of the lyrics the most, but the most important line to me is...

能成為密友大概總帶著愛
Something so true, but we rarely ever think about.


Every time I hear this song and it gets to this line, I can't help but think about a certain email.


At a certain critical point in time, I received an email from someone.  It was a very emotional and perhaps painful email, and it was all because of a situation that I 'created', and all because of my stupidity.  The last line in the email was supposed to be in Chinese, but it had showed up as symbols when I received it.  For some reason, at that moment, I was fairly certain that I knew what those symbols were supposed to be, and never asked the writer.


Now it bugs me that I never confirmed it.


I've always found it amazing that the song that the fans sing the loudest at hocc's concerts is this one, a rather controversial song.  Now I wonder if she will continue singing this song at the shows.


But...even if she does...perhaps it will never be the same again.
