Good Night (晚安)
👇中文版本在英文下👇
This song’s about 3 months’ old. I posted a few weeks ago that I recorded a new song I’d written for a TV show theme song. Good Night is actually the song I wrote for that TV show, but they chose a different song of mine instead.
The show has quite a dark theme, so the song’s verse is quite dissonant and menacing. I tried to imagine what happens when an evil person dies - do fallen angels take him down to Hell? If so, why would a truly evil person be punished there? More likely the demons would enjoy his company and appreciate his wrongdoings, but also mourn his passing because he cannot continue doing terrible things on Earth.
What makes someone become a monster – is it intrinsic, or created behaviour? Do they know what they are doing is wrong and try to stop themselves, is it uncontrollable? If so, do they regret what they do, do they hate themselves for it? If so, then they are also victims, and death may be a relief to them. So the chorus lyrics are about a descent into Hell, but they also represent relief of worldly pain, hence the lighter melody.
I then started thinking about forgiveness - if Christianity says anyone is capable of redemption, then why can’t an evil person love and be loved? I tried to represent this by putting a dissonant verse melody and notes at odds with the lyrics, which are quite sweet, and show that some even this monster is cared for on his death bed, and will be missed.
This was written just as Covid-19 was getting very serious, and I guess the situation affected what I wrote.
這首歌是我最近三個月內寫的,原本是為了一部電視劇創作的主題曲,但最後他們選了另一首我的歌。
電視劇的主題有點黑暗,所以這首歌也是比較沉重的。我在想,罪惡的人死了之後到底會什麼發生。是墮落天使見到他, 把他的靈魂帶去地獄嗎?如果那個人真的罪惡那為什麼下去是種懲罰?魔鬼跟罪惡的人應該彼此欣賞吧,很開心在一起,魔鬼也應該不希望這個壞人離開凡間,因為在地球上,罪惡的人可以做魔鬼喜歡看的事。
魔鬼又是怎麼來的呢? 是與生俱來的嗎,還是後天遇到什麼讓他變成魔鬼?魔鬼知道他們在做惡嗎,還是無意的,無法控制的?如果說不能控制,那他們會後悔自己做過的惡嗎,或者會因此恨自己嗎?如果會,那魔鬼其實很可憐的,他們也是受害者,死亡對魔鬼來說有可能也是減輕他的負擔。所以雖然副歌的歌詞代表這個惡人下地獄,旋律還是比較輕快的。
然後我在想,寬恕是什麼? 如果基督教說所有的人,不管有多罪惡都可以被救贖,那為什麼這個罪惡的人不值得被愛? 所以雖然主歌的旋律比較沉重,歌詞其實比較甜蜜,罪惡的人快死掉的時候還會有人陪著他,愛上他。
我寫這首歌的時候,剛好是新冠狀病毒很嚴重的時間, 我覺得這也有影響到這首歌的歌詞和旋律。
Lyrics 歌詞:
Blossom falling early, watched from our bed,
Gently, you stroke my hair and kiss my head,
Knowing what you love you cannot keep,
Your hot tears fall and burn,
they sear my cheeks,
The cards are down,
Read them and weep,
Read them and weep
Fallen angels guide me,
Lay roses at my feet,
As I’m slowly fading,
they cradle me as they weep
She knows (I can’t breathe), she knows;
I’ll soon be gone
Delirious dreams give way to serene strains,
A quiet sadness lurks ‘midst their sweet refrain,
The cards are down,
Read them and weep,
Read them and weep
Now the light shines through me, shade soothes my aching limbs,
Lost soul released into the arms of keening Seraphim
She knows (I can’t breathe), she knows (I can’t breathe), she knows
That I’m gone.

4年了。思念了。
這首是一首四年前寫下來的歌曲,本來永不會面世的歌曲。 歌曲不適合中文詞、也不夠商業、故事也太私人、或許不夠共鳴。 單純為紀念媽媽,希望分享我的心情。 This little box on the computer screen is still and always will be my vessel for expression.
送給有共鳴、有經歷的你。
也送給當年勇敢與癌症鬥爭到底的媽媽。 我們全家人都好想念你。

歌詞中的一句:長大的滋味原來是如此, 所謂的「愛」,我終於感受得到。

Sunshine
Music & Lyrics by Robynn Yip
Sometimes you get me thinking 有時候 你會讓我想
Sometimes you get me wondering 有時候 你會讓我問
How you can make the stars shine brighter than any other light 你如何能讓星空比任何燈光更燦爛
When I'm drowning in sorrow 當我淹沒在悲痛之中
When I cannot see tomorrow 當我看不到明天
When I don't know what lies ahead and I cannot seem to move 當我不知前路而無法動彈
I realize how tough it is growing up now 長大的滋味原來是如此
I finally feel the things they feel when they talk about love 所謂的「愛」,我終於能感受得到
I can't see anything 我什麼都看不清
How it's supposed to be or what it's supposed to mean 一切該怎麼樣 一切到底什麼意思
I can't anymore 我真的看不到了
But when you hold my hand 但當你握著我的手
And you tell me 你告訴我
It's all gonna be alright x 3
And somehow I find a glimpse of sunshine 不知如何 我就找到了 一線的陽光
A glimpse of sunshine
My world changed in a sudden 我的整個世界改變了
In difficult times like this one 在這個困難的時刻
When I'm not child but I don't see what I have become
當我不是小孩了,但卻不清楚自己有否長大
You hold me when I'm drowning 我被淹沒的時候 你握著我的手
You try to keep me fighting 我快要放棄的時候 你嘗試一直讓我奮鬥
You make me see how strong and fearless I can be despite it all
你讓我看到 無論如何 我可以有多堅強 有多無畏無懼
I realize how tough it is growing up now
I finally feel the things they feel when they talk about love
I can't see anything
How it's supposed to be or what it's supposed to mean
I can't anymore
But when you hold my hand
And you tell me
It's all gonna be alright x 3
And somehow I find a glimpse of sunshine
a glimpse of sunshine
You know it's gonna be alright.

回來巴黎快一週了,一直在忙碌著,不知不覺竟然幾天沒更新了。
先是為了參加蘭蔻的80週年生日派對提早趕回巴黎,見到了朱麗雅羅勃茲,凱特溫絲蕾,Penélope Cruz和好幾位(Lily Collins, Lupita Nyong'o, Daria Werbowy, Alma Jodorowsky...)我也不知道中文譯名是什麼的大明星。和凱莉米諾一起唱生日快樂歌。
處理好了拖延將近一年的居留證,然後每天都一點一點進展的秘密Project,與Gallerina Off Duty的VVN初次合作的Pop-Up Shop!從選擇合適的設計師作品到準備自己的包裝等等...嗯?說出來就不是秘密了?那請大家再耐心等候一下下...
還有台灣Voila雜誌快出刊的旅行訪問中,關於台灣,日本及歐洲各地的旅行小故事們。以及寫了好久還沒寫好的聖馬丁運河旁秘密基地。
這週開始回到SNS上,還請大家往後也繼續多多指教:)

パリに戻ってからもう一週間近く経ちました。
いろんなことで忙しくて、なかなかSNSの更新ができませんでした。
先ずはランコムの80周年パーティに参加させていただきまして、
超セレブのジュリア、ルピダ、ケイト、ダリア、アルマ、リリ、ペネロペ達が出席、カイリー.ミノーグと一緒に誕生日の歌を歌いました。
一年間近くをかかってやっともらえたビザの申請、少しつづ進んでいく秘密のポップアップショッププロジェクト、デザイナーのセレクトからパッケージのデザイン、テーマは旅行の雑誌のインタビューの仕事などなど...。
もちろんサン・マルタン運河沿いにある秘密基地に関する新しい記事もそろそろ完成します。その後台湾、日本、そしてヨーロッパの旅行の記事も書いていきたいと思います。
ではでは、これからもよろしくお願いいたします。

Hello long time! It's been a few days since I last updated my SNS and blog, but here I am again!
I have so many things to write about and also so many other things to work on.
The Lancôme 80th anniversary party where Julia Roberts, Lupita Nyong'o, Kate Winslet, Daria Werbowy, Lily Collins, Alma Jodorowsky and Penélope Cruz were (and Kylie Minogue sang!).
The travel interviewed by Voila magazine about my trip to Japan, Taiwan, and then Europe...
Plus the getting ready pop-up shop special project with VVN from Gallerina Off Duty. (We're almost there! Stay tuned!)
Well I will keep you all posted this week! Have a nice day!
