A tribute to Steve, Matthijs, Jana, Callisto, Felix, and all the wonderful moments we spent together. Hope we will be able to explore the world together again soon.
《和光同塵》| ”Harmony with Light”
親愛的爸爸,生日快樂!這首《和光同塵》的歌詞——「你看那盛放的花,來自期盼的種子。你看那豐碩的果實,來自耕耘的浪漫」——讓我想起了你帶給我的陽光和活力,還有你不畏前方的艱難險阻、依然奮力拼搏著做對的事情的精神。希望你喜歡我第一次自己寫的吉他譜。
Dear Dad, Happy birthday! The lyrics of “Harmony with Light” — “Look at the blooming flowers, they came from the seeds of hope. Look at the ripen fruits, they came from inspiring hard work.” Reminded me of your optimism and energy, and how you always strive to do the right thing regardless of the obstacles in front of you. Hope you will like my first attempt to write guitar chords myself.
《我想念妳,媽媽》| “Mother of Mine”
親愛的媽媽,去年妳生日時,我送妳我學會的第一首吉他彈唱。妳說,妳好喜歡,覺得好像每一天都是妳生日。今年我再唱一首歌給妳,希望妳聽得見。我真的好想念妳。
Dear Mom, last year for your birthday, I sang you the first song that I learned to play on the guitar. You said you liked it so much, and you felt like every day was your birthday. I am singing you another song this year, and I wish you can hear it. I really, really miss you.
“Count on Me”
Happy birthday Felix! Thank you for giving me your guitar last year — you enabled me to sing and play for so many people I love. Now I finally get to sing a song for you too!
我們的《童話》| Our “Fairytale”
國中時紅遍大街小巷的一首歌。快三個月了,如果我選了一個能讓我專注於我學習到的東西而不是我的感情的題材,是否能對我的心情帶來一些改變呢?
A very popular song when I was in middle school. It has been almost 3 months –if I pick a topic that makes me focus on what I learned instead of how I feel, will that change my mood a little?
《平凡之路》| “The Ordinary Road”
今年開始自學吉他後,為許多人唱了歌。這首《平凡之路》是唱給我自己的。
Since I started to learn the guitar this year, I have sung many songs for many people. “The Ordinary Road” is a song I sang for myself.
《親愛的旅人啊》| “Dear Traveler”
我從《親愛的旅人啊》中聽到的,就是人生必然持續向前推進。而我何其有幸,在人生的旅途中能碰到這麼多美好的人,看著我登峰造極、看著我摔得粉身碎骨,再把我從萬丈深淵中拉出來。
What I heard from “Dear Traveler” is that life will move on no matter what, and I am so fortunate to have met so many wonderful people in my life who saw me laugh, saw me cry, saw me shattered, and saw me piece myself back together.
懷念 | Remembering
這大概是我這輩子剪得最好最認真的影片了。媽媽,我真的好想念妳。
This is perhaps the best video I have ever made in my life. Dear Mom, I miss you, so much.
《追光者》幕後 |Behind “Light Chaser”
爸爸曾經對我說:「一個人一定要找到可以陪伴自己一輩子的興趣,這樣不管在生活上碰到什麼挫折或逆境,妳都不會迷失。」
My dad once told me, “You should find hobbies that can keep you company for the rest of your life. That way no matter what hardship you are going through, you will never be lost.”
You raise me up, Dad | 你鼓舞了我,爸爸
爸爸,今天是你的生日——生日快樂!
Happy birthday, Dad!
