I'm talking flowers again
Didn't really plan on another DW/LJ post about the baby this 'soon' again but his performance of Must Be Happy in the first episode of Infinity and Beyond S2 broadcast last Thursday, recorded at the beginning of February, happened and I AM SO VERY MUCH IN LOVE!!!!!!!!
Didn't really plan on this either. It's a cover version of a song composed by Jay Chou. It's a sad love song and normally...the baby has a bit of a penchant for being dramatic and I might not always be the biggest fan...I may be forgiven...But in this song, even though you can hear it, it's not the whole song. There's a balance. It's not too much for me at least. And for whatever reasons, because I sure as hell wouldn't know why exactly, I AM SO DEEPLY IN LOVE!!!!!!!!! With this performance of his, not the song per se, not the lyrics, but his rendition of it!!!!!!!!
Here's the whole second part of episode 1. His performance starts at about 6:40.
Here's the single performance cut BUT they kinda cut off the last couple of seconds of the perfomance and even though the song's over YOU CAN'T JUST CUT OFF EVEN A MILLISECOND of any of his performances!!! SACRELIGIOUS!!!!!!! Anyway, here's the 'cut-off' video.
The lyrics below the cut for those interested, translated by Hua Chenyu English Subs. They do have a video up on YouTube but due to copyright reasons you can see the actual performance only in a small section of the video, so.
Must Be Happy
Submerged in the city I cannot see the stars
But I’m still watching over you
Do you have the confidence?
Do you want to reverse the ending and turn back time?
Friends suddenly mentioned the news about you
It turns out that dust has settled
I’m happy for you
But sad for myself
Such complex emotions
The past always seems to linger
Leaving behind the most painful memories in the present
Saying sorry again and again
You can’t save me
I can’t win you back
There are only a few regrets in life
I think my eyes have already revealed everything
Late at night I suddenly remembered
Our old promise that we both have to be happy
I haven’t forgotten
Friends suddenly mentioned the news about you
It turns out that dust has settled
I’m happy for you
But sad for myself
Such complex emotions
The past always seems to linger
Leaving behind the most painful memories in the present
Saying sorry again and again
You can’t save me
I can’t win you back
There are only a few regrets in life
I think my eyes have already revealed everything
Late at night I suddenly remembered
Our old promise that we both have to be happy
I haven’t forgotten
Late at night I suddenly remembered
You have to be happy
To wish you certain happiness
I wish you well
