18th May 2012 (年少無知 – Bowie Lam, Moses Chan and Kenny Wong)


Today’s song is “年少無知” by Bowie Lam, Moses Chan and Kenny Wong. The three of them hardly produce any songs together because they are not officially singer, but they are actor. This song is a theme song of a TV drama call “天與地” (the official English title is “When Heaven Burns”). The drama turned out to be very successful. Different to the usual TV drama from the TV company (TVB), this drama got a lot of controversial ideas in it. The drama revolve around 4 boys went to a snow mountain, they end up stuck there due to snow storm, they were lost and have not food. One of they were on the verge of dying due to the cold. As they lack of food, the other 3 decided to kill the dying and eat his meat to survive. The story revolves on how this incident has change the life of this 3 men and they guilt they carry with them for the rest of their life.

Back to the song, the direct English translation of the song is “Ignorance”. It basically talks about when we were young, we have all kinds of hope and we thought that we could change the world, but when we get old we realised that it is not possible. For example in the first part, it mention that when we were young we would fight for our freedom and right and thought that it would make a different, but when we got old, we realised that everything need to be compromised. In the second paragraph, it talks about when we were young, although we were poor, but we were very happy. Something as little as 1 dollar is enough to make us happy. Now we have got wealth, we lost our health and we always think about what we can get in return.  The line that I really like in the lyrics is “if we can chose our destiny, we would be a lot more confident on making our choice at the cross junction of our life journey. If we can be truthful to others, the values that we believe in wouldn’t be lost through time.” This song has inspired me a bit about life. When I was sad and listened to this song it makes me cried. It is very touching, and it makes me reflect on my life and think about all the stuff that I was forced to do due to my surrounding environment. Hope you will like this song as well.
