21st Mar 2013 (直覺 – Miriam Yeung)

The song that I chose for today is “直覺” by Miriam Yeung. This is a one of the earlier songs from Miriam. Miriam’s style had change over the years. From the beginning when she was under Capital Artists, her songs sound more indie, they are more claim. Her style changes closer to pop when she signs up with Gold Label (back then it was owned by EMI, but now it is a completely separate company). Her music style changes again when she signup with AMusic. Personally I like her best when she was with Capital Artists and Gold Label (she is now backed with Capital Artists, but she still sing with the AMusic style). Back to the song, the direct English translation of the title is “Intuition”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The lyrics start with the protagonist asking what is happiness and forever lasting love. She spent lot of time before wondering the answer about these questions. She always looks for reward and she never found to have enough fame. As she ages, she finally understood there are no absolutely correct choices in life and things seems to repeat in life. There is no rules that said he need to replace the old with the new. In the daytime she work hard, and in the night time she play hard, but she feel empty. The most enjoyable part of her day is to walk by herself after a crazy night playing. She realised that success and failure is all depends on how you see it. She told us that she never though her boyfriend would be the one that walk with her from the past to the future. Perhaps it was what she did that get her to where she is today. So now when she work hard, she will reserve sometime for her boyfriend. She now know that he will be looking after her when she is lost in her life. Hope you will enjoy the song
