Music & Instrumentals: Will Lo

An unfinished track originally written for a song-writing contest. The backing track and arrangement were pretty much all done, apart from a bridge section to be added. Tried as I might, I couldn’t come up with a melody to it.

Very JPop-influenced.

工作順利完成﹐又獲得客人歡心﹐偶然會收到一些獎勵。通常是一頓飯﹐或一個獎狀之類。

較「重皮」的﹐可能是一支中價紅酒。

今天收到的卻有點搞嘢﹐是個半球體水晶球!又幾出位!

月初完成了PM課程﹐花了一年時間。收穫是一個可印在名片上的銜頭(post-nominal)﹔代價是數個強迫自己留在公司狂煲功課和溫書的凌晨。現在終於可以輕描淡寫的感嘆﹐慶幸過程比預期順利。其實我不介意讀書和做功課﹐只是一點都不享受考試。

第十六個月。

不再是BB妹的詩雅踏入幼童期﹐現正牙牙學語。是個非常活躍好動的女孩。

好多嘴喔而且。好些簡單的國語單字都已經能說。例如﹐Haaaaa(花)﹐Bwoooo(Pooh)﹐Bee-tzi(杯子)﹐Go-Go(狗狗)。OK﹐就讓你先學一會兒國語﹐然後才學廣東話和英文。反正我以為說國語的女孩子比較優雅而可愛(原諒爸爸麻甩佬式的見識和品味)。

對語言的理解能力也不賴。

我問﹕「誰是Sarah小胖妹﹖」她仰天大笑﹐露出肉肉雙下巴。

「眼睛在哪裡﹖」她摸摸自己的眉毛。

「鼻子呢﹖」半秒後…好痛﹗原來小小一陽指已插進我的鼻孔裡來了﹗

小學時至迷動畫片《超時空要塞》。那首片尾曲是每天在廁所洗澡時必唱的飲歌﹐唱得完全不像日文﹐歌詞內容又不懂﹐想來實在好笑。

動聽的旋律縈繞心頭至今。其後也發現原來歌詞滿有意思。

模擬歌手軟件Vocaloid﹐去年推出了version 2﹐暫時只有日文版。為了玩它﹐我裝了Vista的Japanese language pack﹐連Cubase SX也變成日文了。人聲改良是改良了﹐只是效果仍舊不理想。你說會有中文版嗎﹖

僕はもう追いかけはしない
君の走る影のあと
人は誰も走りつづける
ゴールはまだ見えない
今日の次に何がある
明日の先に何がある
遙か彼方の光にむけて
僕は今も走りつづける

僕はもう迷いはしない
自分の道を歩むだけ
人は誰も走りつづける
ゴールは遠いけれど
今日を過ぎ去る日々の中
明日という日がくればいい
遙か彼方の光にむけて
僕は今も走りつづける

僕はもう止まりはしない
いつか出会う時もある
人は誰も走りつづける
ゴールは見えないけど
明日という名の希望の日
未来という名の輝きが
遙か彼方の光にむけて
僕は今も走りつづける

English translation by Michael House:

I will no longer chase
After your running shadow
Everyone keeps on running
The goal still cannot be seen
What does today hold?
What lies ahead tomorrow?
Facing the faraway distant lights
I will even now keep on running

I will no longer be misled
I will walk only my own path
Everyone keeps on running
Though the goal is far away
Within the days that pass through today
I’ll be glad if tomorrow comes
Facing the faraway distant lights
I will even now keep on running

I will not stop anymore
Someday, we will meet too
Everyone keeps on running
Though the goal cannot be seen
Today is said to be a day of hope
The future is said to be bright, but
Facing the faraway distant lights
I will even now keep on running

Linda Eder ~And So Much More~
Lyrics: Maury Yeston
Music: Frank Wildhorn

Count every raindrop in a thunderstorm
Count every wave upon the shore
I love you just as much as that
And so much more

Take all the clouds that glide across the sky
And all the light within a moonbeam
And every bird that ever spread its wings to soar
How I love you
As much as that
And so much more

Count all the days that there are yet to be
And all the ones that came before
You have as much of me as that
And so much more

Take every leaf that grows on every tree
And all the wishes in a daydream
And every note of every song we all adore
I’m there for you
As much as that
And so much more

Now add the stars and planets out in space
And all the miles that keep them far apart
Find how many, if there are any, more ways of counting things
Let’s start

How many seconds does forever have
How many creatures watch the sun rise
How many ways to say the words
I can’t ignore
How I love you
As much as that
And so much more

As much as all that
And so much more
