One Song a Day - The Affair of the Mirror and the Flower 鏡花緣. Translation and song link in the bottom.
•
I like reconstructing Chinese literature and present them in my own lyrics. I even wrote a whole album this way - ‘Requiem for Flowers’. Ancient heartache and longing are universal, some nuances just cannot be presented in a few words in English though. There are a lot of love related objects we keep using to reflect the depth of love. I have to confess, it is a fine line between indirect and passive aggressive. This is one of my personal favorites.

The Affair of the Mirror and the Flower
(Chet Lam)
•
Before the Spring flowers and autumn moon are gone
The flower in the mirror has waken up and fallen into the water
Faces will grow old, deepest heartaches will fade
Somehow someone never wants to forget
•
The affairs of the heart have finally died off
It only takes one more second for me to throw it all away
Butterflies desire to soar in pairs
Yet happiness could not take them across the ocean
They have to part after all
•
Life goes on
Flower has already fallen for someone
Death goes on
Dawn has come before the heart snow melts
I watch the skies fall, flowers reappear
The warm wind blows again
Who will still care about what happened in the past
•
My heart has come down after the wind left
The flower in the mirror has waken up and fallen into the water
The evening frost climbs up my hair
Dyeing the dark hair white
Your laughters still linger in the air, but you are nowhere to the found
All has to come to an end
You must have forgotten all of this already
I should too forget all of this already

我喜歡把古詩詞拆散再重組,更用這個方法創作了一整張專輯《花訣》。氣象,物件,自然現象,所有本身沒有情的東西,一旦用某種角度排序,就極具指向性,描述最遠古的情感與企盼;一個「愛」字都沒有的情詩,會更顯情感的濃烈,溫婉細膩,這也是我的創作一直奉行的信念。跟你分享我其中一首最愛的創作:《鏡花緣》。

鏡花緣
(曲詞:林一峰)
•
春花秋月何時了
鏡花醒覺水裏凋
容顏會蒼老
椎心刺骨的一切亦退消
卻跨不過奈何橋
•
幾番心事都已平復了
只差一秒便忘掉
蝴蝶盼雙飛
一次幸福怎可以敵過滄海
始終告別了
•
生的生 花已為誰落過了
死的死 心雪未溶又天曉
空見天地流轉曇花再現了
樓台又東風 往事(故人)知多少
•
風吹心動 都已平靜了
鏡花醒覺水裏凋
暮雪染青絲 不見舊人的歡笑
這一切應該已完了
你應該已忘了
我應該也忘了

就在我最心痛的一天,我們出了新歌MV《月湖》。是天意吧,要讓我記住繼續用音樂來療傷,這不只是我的工作。

Moon Lake
Music: Kendy Suen
Lyrics: Chet Lam
Once we strolled along the streets
You told me many stories by the lake
The stairs, the park, the bridge
they are all still the same
But your hands are much rougher
And I haven't forgotten how strict you were
Always wanting me to succeed
And you taught me to be patient, to taste, to observe
'Time will never fail you’
We watched the moon and stars go by
Years drifted away, everything became vague
Time is flying
I always think of the moon on the lake which never got blown away
Kids like new things
Want to grow up fast, want to leave even faster
The street had finally changed its face
But you are still the same
And I haven’t forgotten how generous you were
Blessing me, letting go and watching me soar
Time let wisdom deepen the lines on your face
Who can guard and protect you for me?
We watch the moon and stars go by
It cannot be warmer when I am with you
Time, please stop flying
I still think of the moon on the lake though it got blown away
Years will slow down
Let me be with you
We stroll along the lake, everything is beautiful
When all lights and shadows on the lake are gone
There’s always you

曾經輕鬆街頭漫步
湖邊聽過故事也不少
樓梯公園天橋還健在
但是你雙手 粗糙多了
而我未忘掉緊張的你
曾管束鞭策要我高飛
還教導沉住氣好好細味觀察
時間絕對未會虧待你
同看星月過
年月光影飄遠 一切依稀
時間風裏飛
湖上月光吹不散常念記
孩子喜歡不同事物
成長加速很想 快走遠
長街終於都改頭換面
就是你始終 不會改變
而我未忘掉寬鬆的你
放手祝福我看我高飛
時間任由睿智加深你臉上紋
誰有辦法代我守護你
同看星月過
無盡安心感覺 跟你一起
時間不要飛
湖上月光風吹散仍念記
年月會慢下來准我伴你
湖畔散步感覺一切多美
湖面光影消散 總有你
