过渡期

Hello? Hello you there?

试着分析所有梦里 一再出现的讯息
有种失落
我感觉过

你若有所思的神情 背对着我的身影
我看得懂
那叫寂寞

境的意义
爱是痛的替代品
我是你的过渡期
太简单的迷底

忽远忽近 只要你想你就随时逃避
若即若离 只要你想你随时
I don't know why won't you set me free

不想演戏 再花力气扮演完美情侶
不想继续 再把一段关系当游戏
不想再做梦去麻痺 自己

试着分析所有梦里 一再出现重复的
有种失落
把每个希望 一都浇熄

你若有所思的神情 背對着我的身影
我看得懂
理想的愛情 只出現在梦里

潜入你最深的意识里
你就是不让我看清
看清你复杂的聪明
聪明得让我灰了心
徹底的灰了心

忽远忽近 只要你想你就随时逃避
若即若离 只要你想你随时
I'm begging you to set me free

不想演戏 我们都失去了理想爱情
不想继续 就让它活在我的梦里
但梦里不会再有你

What's up girl you know
回想昨天晚上
还有每个晚上
心不在焉你的模樣 就像一直不在现场
你把心放他身上 而我从来沒有重量
你用我的伤 摆脱你的伤 但遗忘才能让我释放

You know what I mean
It's over

This song by 小宇(宋念宇)is from his latest album <<再一次>> released in December. He is a talented while albeit lesser-known singer/composer with great emotive vocals. Check out his live singing below or any of videos posted by youtube user, Amy629006. There are plenty to listen to and I have to say he has very good consistent live performances; his live singing sounds like the CD-version or even better.


Entitled 过渡期, loosely translated to be transition period, it refers to the "in-between" time between relationships. His soulful voice and intriguing lyrics brings life to touchy theme; touchy depending on what you do during your own transition periods. Some gorge on ice-cream, others attempt to drink away their sorrows, but there are some who leverage on another interested party's feelings to heal. Once that is fulfilled, the poor person is discarded. This song seeks to describe the feelings of one such person trapped in this not-so-nice part of the relationship cycle.

The lyrics are quite literal, which isn't a bad thing in this case. The last line of the song pretty much sums up what this song is about; 你用我的伤 摆脱你的伤 但遗忘才能让我释放; you use the pain I feel to heal the hurt you have, liberation is only possible if I forget. The arrangement of the song is rather unique; the rap appears only when the song concludes. This was quite refreshing to me and what was great about that is the song slowly builds up the angst felt by the person, and eventually releasing all of that at the end.

If you enjoyed the emotional ride in this song, do check out 小宇's previous offerings; ballads,  终于说出口, 就站在这里, more up-beat songs, 说分手之后, 爱上,  唯一的唯一.
