Yesterday I had a dinner gathering with some of my old mates from Liverpool. Well, one topic led to another, and at some point we were talking about movies and I cant help but mentioning the Mayday movie 追梦3DNA which is currently showing in cinema. I was getting all excited and pumped up talking about my favourite band and how i'm so eager and cant wait to watch the movie. My friends looking at me as though i'm from another dimension or generation but i don't care because they are the epitome of Chinese rock music of the late 90s. They were the true dawn of the "Student-band-turned-biggest-Chinese-band-of-the-era", which subsequently led to the born of many many other Chinese student band and the popularization of such kind of music genre. Frankly, even today, i say that they still hold the title of the biggest Chinese band on earth with no doubt at all.
10 years ago i picked up guitar and learnt to play my first chinese song -Mayday's 溫柔. Since then 10 years have passed, and today when i listened to their latest rendition of the song which accompany me through many many days and nights of my youthful days, it still stir up the same emotion inside of me. It reminded me of the youthful dreams which i used to have; the burning passion of wanting to stand on the stage to sing; the lesson of never ever give up what the heart desire... gosh, it was the 18 years old me which i missed the most. The me who was happy just by listening to a Mayday's song; the me who never recognize failure as a choice and who will keep on going forward bumps after bumps; the simple me who just love to sing and nothing more.
I remembered I wrote something about my passion for singing some years ago. Just a simple search (thanks to the blogger's fabulous search features) and i was able to retrieve not just one, but many many of posts of which i've wrote about singing:
and many many more... and heck, i cant even stand myself repeating the tagline "Music is the passion of my life" literally in every of those posts like its some kind of mantra.
Anyway, just to share with you the song which i can still remember every words in the lyrics and every notes in the melody after 10 years. If you feel they are somewhat good, come join me for the movie.
如果你對我說 你想要一朵花
那麼 我就會給你一朵花
如果你對我說 你想要一顆星星
那麼 我就會給你一顆星星
如果你對我說 你想要一場雪
那麼 我就會給你一場雪
如果你對我說 你想要離開我
那麼 我會說 我會對你說…
我給你全部自由
