Still.My dear
A chinese song that has hit the soft spot of my heart recently. Huge part of the sweetness comes from Karena Lam's guest voice. But it actually tells a bitter tale of a love that has expired. Great listen for the autumn season.
依然‧親愛的 - at 17 (feat. 林嘉欣)

That year... that day that we met
it's like you and I have never had much of an indifference
When you're around
it's always warm even on a cold day
Karena: " You said that you wanna have an old folks home
so that when we're old and left on our own
we can look out for each other
You said you like Shirley Kwan
I said I like Sandy Lam
Out of a surge of silly enthusiasms
we spent all our pocket money and a whole day
singing all their songs at the karaoke
And now I wonder... will you still...
will you still do these things with me like you used to?"
It's hard to come by to always have someone around
like when I'm just having a smoke
I felt like I can just stay in with her
not go out for days
like we can waste the days away
like there is nothing to fear...
It's hard to come by
K: "Hello?"
To always have her around
K: "What yer up to?"
I just wanna be with her
K: "It's been awhile since I've seen you..."
Stay in all days
K: "Do you have time for me?"
Waste our days away
K: "Erm..."
Like there is nothing to fear
K: "It's ok... I'll catch you another time..."
