One Song a Day - Heart of a Traveler 遊子意. Translation and song link below
•
2007, Iceland. After the third attempt of getting on that flight to Grimsey, the little Icelandic island on the edge of North Pole, I finally could say ‘been there done that’ to myself. I even wrote a whole story about it in a book. This song was written on the way back from the airport to the city in Akureyri, walking, drenched in cold rain. So, what do you get from traveling? A lot of leg work, trips disrupted by unpredictable weather, soaked in cold rain, followed by a nasty cold, a song... a tourist would ask ‘why’, a traveler would say ‘why not’. Which one you would rather be?

Heart of a Traveler
(Chet Lam)
•
There’s a heart in every city
Which cannot be seen easily
Where roads connecting all wishes like veins
Every city is familiar, every corner is strange
We are all waiting for some special moment when we catch someone’s eyes when resting in between our journeys
•
I care more about the process of searching
Though every turn leads to the same results eventually
Answers suddenly appear after the shoes are worn out
But the questions have been forgotten
•
We document stop after stop with the ever changing clouds
We document love after love with sunsets
Every little thing is our fuel and our burden
It’s no one else but ourselves
•
Every traveler has a story
You just have to ask
Details might vary from time to time
After all what’s left is just memory
Behind every choice there’s some regret
Behind every regret there’s some silver lining
Moon sets, sun rises, beauty view emerges after darkness
We’re still here, I’m all grateful
•
I’ve flown with the diamonds in the sky
I’ve walked through the land of ice and fire
I’ve sailed on the sea of love but after a while
Still miss the Paris in your eyes
I’ve sailed on the sea of love
but time after time...
I missed the Paris in your eyes
Paris in your eyes
•
2009年在冰島創作的歌。第三天成功於小島Grimsey踩在北極圈的線上,安全飛回小鎮Akureyri,從機場在冷雨中走45分鐘回到市中心,重感冒,酸軟雙腿(三天在冷雨中走路來回機場不是說笑的),因為天氣變化把旅程改完又改的狼狽,最後成為一首歌;最後,得到的都不能量化、但世上最好的東西,通常都是不能量化的經驗與故事。一個遊客會問何苦,一個旅人會說何不,你情願是哪一個身份?
•
遊子意
(曲詞:林一峰)
•
每個城市都有顆心 不能輕易被看見
馬路就像血脈一樣 把每個渴望相連
每個城市都很熟悉 每個角落都陌生
停歇上路匆匆剎那 就等待那一個眼神
•
尋尋覓覓更在乎過程
兜兜轉轉一樣的結果
踏破鐵鞋 不經意地答案出現
竟忘了問題是甚麼
•
一站一站浮云游子意
一段一段落日故人情
一點一滴 也是力量 也是牽絆
不是別人 都是自己
•
每個旅人都有故事 你問他就會告訴你
細節可能有點偏差 反正留下的只有回憶
每個選擇都有遺憾 每個遺憾都有轉機
月落日出柳暗花明
人還在 心存感激
•
尋尋覓覓更在乎過程
兜兜轉轉一樣的結果
踏破鐵鞋 不經意地答案出現
竟忘了問題是甚麼
一站一站浮云游子意
一段一段落日故人情
一點一滴 也是力量 也是牽絆
不是別人 都是自己
•
我曾經跟天空的鑽石一起飛翔
我曾經走在冰火交融的土地上
我曾經航行在感情的海上
但沒過多久 就開始想念你眼中的巴黎
我曾經航行在感情的海上
一次又一次 錯過了你眼中的巴黎
你眼中的巴黎

很多粉絲問姐姐:
為什麼姐姐在愛情裡頭傷痕累累,
我還是能一路走去遇見幸福 @kh3n_chua .
其實,
幸福, 不是等著任何人去偶遇就遇見的
幸福, 也不是你喜歡一個人,他也剛好喜歡你就代表著幸福
每個人都能夠愛一個人,但不代表那兩個人在人生路裡走得下去
唯獨懂得愛自己的人,懂得放手的人,懂得尊重自己的人,懂得捨與得的人,懂得停止的人,
才能夠得到真正快樂。
很多人在感情裡痛了,卻還固執的去堅持下去,
把傷痛當做「真愛」
她們不明白「珍惜」與「自己拿來的」的區別
很多人懂得「開始」一段短暫的快樂時光,
卻不懂得「停止」長期不快樂的委屈
很多人以為「堅持」就會幸福
卻不明白,其實她們在教會別人怎麼虧待自己
很多人把愛人放在眼裡,
卻從來沒有把「家」放在心裡
到最後,
感情破了,
家也忘了,
自己只剩下「不甘心」的心情,
還死纏爛打,
硬著頭皮要繼續下去
其實愛情,
每個人都懂得怎麼樣去開始,
但不是每個人懂得去結束
而每個人開始的時候,
總是把最好的一面,最好的一切,
都給了對方
但關鍵是,
時間久了以後,
最壞的一面都只給對方
如果你給不了對方一段「永遠一樣」的一面,
這段感情就會起起落落,
久而久之,
就會感覺疲勞
到頭來回想,
一個人的時候,
其實更開心
懂愛的人,
不需要求愛
不懂愛的人,
沒人愛
這,
是一個殘酷的事實
世界上,
沒有「誰沒了誰」就會死
只有「我永遠會像當初的一樣,把最好的都給你」
沒有起伏不定的心情,
只有平靜安寧安心的日子
這,才是幸福
My fans asked me what do jie look forward in life all along and get to have such freedom to do what i wish to do all these while.
Its actually not a secret.
All my life, jie had never searched for anything except peace.
I always believe in calming the mind despite being surrounded by chaos.
As when we achieved the balance in life and being peaceful with our own surroundings and undertakings,
Everything else will come on its own
Be it luck, career, or love.
Every breath we take,
Every step we make,
Should only be filled with peace, joy and serenity.

Aloha guys,
I was so lucky to share my story on TEDxTaipei in 2014. (https://youtu.be/VmkSP_EvoOY) After that, I started to think about my next dream- traveling around the world. By saving up all the money from speeches and commercial, I decided to travel around the world and make a documentary film.
I felt homesick already when I was in Japan. My wallet got stolen and my money got robbed in Germany. I was in the middle of the terrorist attack in Paris. I even fell into an ice river in Iceland. My flight was canceled due to the labor strike in Chile and accidentally attacked by tear gas in Peru.
I spent half of my trip crying, but I know there are more possibilities to come in the future. That’s why I keep my heads up, and I always smile when I face problems. I’ve realized that the scariest thing is not that your goals are hard to reach, but that you don’t have a goal in life. I was really lucky to meet so many people during this trip and thanks for everyone who helping me to move forward.
I really fell in love with stacking again, but it's all because of you guys and I will keep stacking up my dreams.
