忘了我也不错

In my previous postings, I have covered a song by 王心凌, in her latest album《爱不爱》, entitled  变成陌生人 . Another mellow hit I would cover today is called 忘了我也不错.

听说你现在要尽情工作
可又不断找朋友
整夜拍拖
他们都累了
你一脸的失落
说过若分开那刻的潇洒又掉哪里了

无法回头的事情很多
分手后的经历却又更多

说不定你刚知道最需要什么
说不定你只留恋过去里那个我
你会舍不得曾经的美好
不会像从前的爱我

爱自由的人只是更换感情寄托
怕束缚的人终于更怕寂寞
很久没联络
你现在怎么了
有时候剩下我也不错

不管你是为谁而难过
这不是我们想要的结果

一直在怀念又能够怎么了
我觉得忘了我也不错

This song is very much like her title song; not very catchy, devoid of heavy background music and will grow onto you the more you listen to it. Check out her live rendition of it here. I love how nicely her voice goes with the piano.

The lyrics are lovely, penned by well-known lyrist, 林夕. It talks about how forgetting one's ex isn't bad. When a relationship has ended, there are times when one party is unable to move on, dwelling the memories of what is past. What this song encourages you to do is to forget.

Of course the leading male in question here is by no means an angel; hints of his nature is revealed in the chorus as she goes;  爱自由的人只是更换感情寄托, 怕束缚的人终于更怕寂寞. It seems that our male leader is one who loves freedom; but this freedom comes at an even greater fear of being lonely. Also, FYI, those who don't wish to be tied down merely switch their affections onto different people; commitment is a no-no.

As the song concludes, our lady tells him that whatever the case it may be, it was the result that they both did not want. Nevertheless, nothing is going to happen/change from reminiscing the past so it's best that he moves on. Well, only one thing is for sure, whilst the guy may not stick around much longer, we the listeners will be sure to keep this song on our playlists for a long time.
