Just sharing the (what I feel) essentials of one of my favourite bands. Theres more songs that are great to listen to.

Also check out: Spies, Shiver, Talk, The Hardest Part, X&Y etc.

I've always been fascinated by the lyrics of their songs, how they get their inspiration. Their songs always manage to stop me from hitting that "Next Song" button.

"Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know you know I love you so
You know I love you so"

"Come up to meet you
tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I've set you apart"

"And I could write a song
A hundred miles long
Well, that's where I belong
And you belong with me
And I could write it down
or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found
Or swallowed in the sea"

"I took my love down to violet hill
There we sat in snow
All that time she was silent still
So if you love me
Won't you let me know?"

I'm sure you'll find something that you like.


Update: I have complied an updated list with Mylo Xyloto tracks here

All photos I took.

The neverending road. Life goes on, with or without you.

还有11个月, 怎么熬过去呢...

偶像剧

Hope... is a funny thing.

It drives us to do things we never thought we do. But it also sometimes gives us a false sense of security, something to look forward to the next day. Something that shouldn't be there, something that you just dreamt up.

I've tried to look at hope not the way everybody looks at it. Not that I can't, I've made a concise decision not to. Is hope really good? What does hope entail?

Maybe thats why the words "false hope" come up so much. Fake hope?

In Chinese its easier to separate, the difference between 妄想 and 希望 is essentially hope and ... well false hope.


我不知道什么时候有点迷恋偶像剧了.
现在的我都是一直目不转睛的盯着每个礼拜定时在youtube里上传的part 1 - 7.

在偶像剧的世界里, 一切的一切, 好容易理解啊.
男主角到最后的最后, 不管经过多少风风雨雨, 还是会和女主角在一起的.

如果不是偶像剧的话:
斗牛, 应该在第八集就结束了.
败犬, 应该在第十五集就结束了.

现实世界里:
不会有擦身而过的场景
不会每个人都会说出感动的话
不会有对方立刻懂得你在想什么
不会有永远美丽的结局


就算如此, 但是我为什么还每个礼拜要定期收看呢?
我自己觉得, 人是脆弱的. 应该希望会有这些事情... 会发生在自己身上.
能让自己解脱所有的所有, 让自己顿时忘记自己, 完全的陷入别人的生活.

eh? 但是主角里面想不通的问题, 现实身活里怎么都有所谓的答案呢?

Living vicariously through other people's lives, that's something I've only gotten a firm definition just a few weeks ago from a very good friend. You wish other people well, because in the end, you wish someone would live a better life than yourself, and then you can channel their feelings into yourself. That feels good, doesn't it?


Hope... is a funny thing.


Stay happy.

我还在妄想什么?

Song: Hold on Hope - Guided By Voices

Won't Even Start - David Choi

Won't Even Start - David Choi

What happened
after last summer
when we broke up
in September

I havent seen you
Feels like a long time
Sometimes it still hurts
But I always get by

I still got a piece of you under my skin
Its always there no matter where Ive been

So if I ever see you on the street
I'll pretend that I didn't see
And turn my face
No use in small talk anyways

Because if I look into your eyes
Then I'll have to say goodbye
And that'll break my heart
So I wont even start
I wont even start

I wish you luck
And I wish it true
That's the best
I can do for you

Cuz you'll probably find love
In someone new
I have to let go
Yeah its hard to do

So if I run into you with your arm by his side
Just know it'll cut me like a knife

I'll be ok
I'll be ok
or that's what I'll say

So if I ever see you on the street
I'll pretend that I didn't see
And turn my face
No use in small talk anyways

Because if I look into your eyes
Then I'll have to say goodbye
And that'll break my heart
So I won't even start
I won't even start

I always liked Wong Fu's stuff. This one is no exception.

It hits a bit close to the heart. I'll be.... ok
