Thursday, September 5, 2013 | 10:00 AM I don't have a super good memory, so here goes... 1. Mine by Taylor Swift
Braced myself for the goodbye
Cause it's all I've ever known
Then you took me by surprise
You said I'll never leave you alone
You said, I remember how it felt sitting by the water
And every time I look at you, it's like the first time
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter
She is the best thing that's ever been mine
That last line made me tear every time for the first few times I listened to this song. It's like for the first few stanzas of the song she's talking about how she fell in love with this guy and how right it felt, and then they fight and she's anticipating the break up because her own parents did the same. But then he turns around and tells her she is the best thing he ever had and it's touching to finally know that the guy, too, feels exactly the same way about her. 2. 半情歌 by 元若蓝
花,接受凋零
风,接受追寻
心的伤还有一些不要紧
我接受你的决定
你将会被谁抱紧
唱什么歌哄她开心
我想着天空什么时候会放晴
地球不曾为谁停一停
你的明天快不快乐
不是我的
我们的爱是唱一半的歌
时间把习惯换了,伤口愈合
也撤销我再想你的资格
I first fell in love with the song at the end of Sec 4, when I was being all emotional about a silly and impossible crush (lol). You know, this song probably had a part in shaping my 'world views', even if I didn't realise it. Very nice, very sad lyrics. 3. 会有那么一天 by 林俊杰
阿嬷泪水开始流
轻声说道
我要离去别再哭泣
不要伤心请你相信我
要等待,我的爱
陪你永不离开
I loved the twist and how the chorus fitted both scenarios perfectly. When ah ma's tears started flowing, mine started flowing too. Nothing much to relate to here since I never knew my grandparents, but the love story is still a very touching one. The rest: Christina Perri's A Thousand Years, Jar of Hearts and Distance, Avril Lavigne's I'm With You and Keep Holding On, plus lots of Korean songs from drama soundtracks. I guess there's the context because they always play the same song at the sad scenes. But the above 3 I remember tearing, so there're up there. Yup that's all!
