还是爱着你


Following up my previous post is the next song, Track 5: 还是爱着你

大街上擦肩而过
我居然没勇气回头
虽然可能认错脸孔
虽然没什麽
怎麽心跳停了 半秒钟

回忆不由自主放送
我试着按下暂停钮
都已经过了那麽久 就别再折磨
看起来平静的生活 原来是我不懂

我还是爱着你 我还是念着你
连我也不相信 自己
我怎麽学不会忘记
我还是爱着你 为什麽我不甘心
如果没有拥有就没有失去
那为何我还会伤心

回忆里的人不会犯错
回忆的人才会觉得错过
而如果那些如果 真的发生过
那些画面 那些重播
是否还让人心痛


As I have mentioned I very much enjoy Weibird’s ballads and this is a good old radio-friendly ballad that should appeal to the masses. I like the fact that the lyrics are kinda visual; you can almost imagine this idol drama like scene unfolding in front of you. Or such scenarios could be reality to some of you out there.

Nevertheless, I particularly enjoy the verses of the song. In the second verse, I like the “phrase-play” on the different perspectives of the involved people, aka the person who recalls and the person who is being recalled. That is one thing I very much love about Mandarin. A subtle change in the choice of words can make a big difference and make the song more impactful.

Other than the lyrics, Weibird does a great job singing this song. Again, the raw emotion I mentioned in my previous posting comes into play here. There is something very bitter and heart-breaking as he crones the last words of the song as he goes 那为何我还会 .

And that is what prompts me to press the play button (repeatedly) on YouTube. Check out this song here:
