A song that I like

走路去紐約 - 陶晶瑩

每一次我想見到你　就要飛　
無論地球上哪一角　我一天就到　
用飛的原因不外乎　時間太少　
你想擁有我每一秒　你今天就要　

我飛的機會太多　
有時因為你　有時為自己　
我飛過好幾萬哩　
不覺得　那會是距離

突然很想不要飛　想走路去紐約　
看看這一路我曾經忽略的一切　
走路去紐約 也讓感情在時間裡　
有機會　沉澱自己

Yes... it's song time yet again. Have the habit of listening to songs whilst I am at work... and yes, more often than not, the songs are in chinese. Why so? Really, it is because they are less "noisy, and at the same time, I don't really understand what they are singing so I won't get as easily distracted. However, every once in a while, a song's tune would strike me and I'll sit up and listen. And then... I'll try my hardest to decipher the lyrics... and yes, they often tend to be the sadder songs.

Quite liked the lyrics of this song. Matilda Tao's singing voice is a tad nasal, but she's got quite a few meaningful songs... the kind that tug at heartstrings and very aptly describes the woes of the modern woman. Although I won't go as far as saying that I would like to walk to New York, totally understand the feeling of needing to slow down a little, take a look at what has been neglected thus far, and take stock of what is happening in life... and in the relationships. Particularly like the line that goes "you want every second of my life... and you want it today", very often, that's what the demands in life feel like, doesn't it?
