张学友 梅艳芳 - 相爱很难‏

最好　有生一日都爱下去
但谁人　能将恋爱当做终生兴趣
生活　其实旨在找到个伴侣
面对现实　热恋很快变长流细水

可惜我　不智或侥幸
对火花天生敏感
不过　两只手拉得太紧
爱到过了界那对爱人
同时亦最易变成一对敌人

也许相爱很难
就难在其实双方各有各寄望 怎么办
要单恋都难
受太大的礼会内疚却也无力归还
也许不爱不难
但如未成佛升仙也会怕
爱情前途黯淡
爱不爱都难
未快乐先有责任给予对方面露欢颜

得到浪漫　又要有空间
得到定局　却怕去到终站
然后付出多得到少不介意豁达
又担心　有人看不过眼

无论热恋中失恋中
都永远记住第一戒　别要张开双眼

芳华绝代

I learnt a new word today: "花生骚" means "fashion show" in cantonese. It's also the title for a duet between 王菲 and 梅艳芳.

Perhaps it was MJ's departure, that got me in the mood for reminiscing. 3 days after he left, I picked up a 梅艳芳 cd for the second/third time, and I fell for her. The low timbre in her voice, I realise, was unlike anything I've heard before, and for the first time, I'm a fan. The duets album I was listening to, "With", featured a song with Leslie Cheung. After youtubing the live concert video, I smiled, and then sighed. The chemistry and the friendship was evident and electrifying. The lack of such artistry, such boldness, class, stage presence, and such beauty in today's music industry is truely a pity.

While some legends were born, some need time to materialise. 20 years from now, whose death will ignite the same post-death frenzy, be it the tribute or tabloid-worthy kind, that MJ has?

I'm guessing Madonna will live to a ripe old age, and we probably will reminisce and mourn, but probably not obsess over. We peobably wont be curious over the will, nor who custody of the children go to.

I guess in the hearts of true fans, they never truely die. They live on in memory. May Leslie, Anita, and MJ live on forever.

林憶蓮 誘惑的街

这样深的夜下过雨的街
连星光就要熄灭你赴的是什么样的约
原无意说这些
只是对你还有感觉
以为一切残缺
都能用爱解决
可是我除了爱你
没有别的凭借
话由真心
才说的如此直接
也许是夜色让人不知胆怯
有了我你是否什么都不缺
心再野也知道该拒绝
有什么心结难解
竟让你离不开这一切
只是你身在诱惑的街
只是你身在沉伦的午夜
血里的狂野对真实与幻觉
已无分别……

所以你也无从察觉
情由何时冷却
你从来不了解
心痛有多么强烈
不知若要我为爱妥协
我宁愿它幻灭
有了我你应该什么都不缺
心再野也知道该拒绝
有什么心结难解竟然让你离不开这一切
只是你身在诱惑的街
只是你身在沉沦的午夜
血里的狂野对真实与幻觉
已无分别
若是我身在诱惑的街
若是我身在沉伦的午夜
你的心是否会为我而淌血
从此醒觉

藍奕邦 - 快樂王子

如果我很想快樂
我也許找個人祈求被愛
或者我先要了解自己是誰
才知道我需要什麼
王子滿身的鑽石
也要燕子陪伴慰解寂寞
若果連他都不懂得快樂
我更要自甘墮落
或者只需要那份單純的愛
並非一身閃爍的金薄

或者一首音樂加一杯可樂
己夠我苦中作樂
連自己都不知我是好人一個
接受嘉勉都不知道為了什麼
他給的愛我又如何裝載
那算不算教人友悲哀

王子也很想快樂
靜待燕子結伴暢遊天國
若果人存在是為了互相傷害
我的愛不如掉進大海

It don't matter if you're Black or White

The first customer that came into my shop today bought the only 2 copies of Michael Jackson dvds that we have: one a live concert, and the other of his MVs. She also asked for his CDs, of which we only have "Blood on the Dance Floor" left. Soon after, Ash sms-ed and told me of Michael's shocking death. Before I left my workplace at 3.30pm, I have served 5 customers who have called/asked for his albums.

While I've never been a huge MJ fan, but being a music fan, I cant help but feel a tinge of sadness at the passing of a true legend. Arguably the biggest pop star who has ever lived, MJ has the best-selling album of all time with "Thriller". That is the epitome of a classic album - no song goes unnoticed, all of which you've probably heard before. Who can forget the "Billie Jean" MV that revolutionised MTV and accelerated the MTV-gen, and those tiles that light up as he walks on them. I still do the "Beat It" move once in a while, that gang-fight MV and those black leather jackets. And then there's the epic "Thriller" MV, that till today remains the mother of all MV with a story of man-to-werewolf to boot.

And these go without saying: the moonwalk, "black or white", the glove, the crotch-grab, the signature falsetto "whoa!", "ben", "you are not alone", "bad", "ben".

MJ will remain in my mind and heart as the greatest and most successful pop artist of our lifetime. Ask any budding dancer/singer who is their role model, and 1 in probably 5 will name MJ. Look no further than our generation of Usher, Ne-yo, and Chris Brown for proof. "Thriller" will remain as one of the best and grooviest albums I've ever heard.

It's sad how we the exploitative news and scandels have marred his career and overshadowed his music. It's a bigger pity that one only begins to appreciate genius when it's gone. "That you dunno what u've got til it's gone," as Janet Jackson has sung. While the world mourns the death of a true legend, I reflected upon my short existence, sighed at its insignificance, and marveled at true greatness that one could achieve.

Take this time to show your loved ones that you care.

Farewell, Michael Jackson. 1958 - 2009




And while MJ's death may have overshadowed Farrah Fawcett's departure, which is a pity, you have to admire her spirit for putting a long fight against cancer. Our eternal Charlie's Angel.
