One Song a Day - Butterfly Valley (蝴蝶谷). Translation and song link in the bottom.
•
A song I wrote in Belize and recorded in New York during a very bumpy time, 2018. Life puts you to some test every now and then, luckily cursed songwriters would try to squeeze some sweet juice out of bitterness, until it gets tired. Then one day, a Blue Morpho stopped on my hand, and a song hatched. If all of this is for a song, what is a song for?

Butterfly Valley
(Chet Lam)
•
Butterflies in the sky
They don’t think of life or death
All those journey and process just for finding themselves
Blowing with the wind
Not preparing for anything
Never worried about drifting around
Until they have found someone
Then become greedy for life, afraid of death
•
Is it indulgence or love
Don’t want to define
If you devote yourself into something
You would not find it too much
When you look back
It’s just the consequence of happiness •
No regret, no words
Let me embrace reality with a smile
The day a butterfly hatches
He has already chosen
There’s no if’s, no maybe’s
•
Is it indulgence or love
No need to define
If you’ve ever devoted yourself to anything
You would understand
When you look back
You would still get into trouble happily •
No regret, no words
Let me embrace reality with a smile
The butterfly is finally gone
Like flowers in the mirror, moon in the water
Becoming endless love songs

2018年寫於Belize，在紐約錄製。顛簸的一年，好像沒有什麼是真正值得的，努力經營的事情能瞬間失去意義，直至一只藍色大蝴蝶停在我的手上，一首歌就破繭而出。如果這一切都是為了一首歌，那麼一首歌是為了什麼？

蝴蝶谷
（曲詞：林一峰）
•
蝴蝶亂飛 沒有想生死
無盡過程旅程愛情只為找自己
隨風翻飛 沒有幾多可以預備
從未怕落魄 直到找到誰
就變貪生怕死
•
放任還是愛 不想太清楚
你若投入了 不覺承受太多
回頭望 還是快樂惹的禍
無憾無語
讓我微笑擁抱現實
蝴蝶破繭當天已一早抉擇
沒有假使如果
•
放任還是愛 不需太清楚
你若投入過 只會明白更多
回頭望 還是快樂去闖禍
無憾無語
讓我微笑擁抱現實
蝴蝶最終消失 鏡花水裏月
化做多少情歌
