12th Apr 2013 (Old school love – 朱豔強)

The song that I chose for today is “Old school love” by朱豔強. 朱豔強 is one of the fictional character made up by Jim Yan (the vocal of Wild child), recently he is acting as this fictional character and performing in a talk show. To promote his talk show, he produced this song. This song is so similar to the song that I talked about yesterday (11th Apr 2013 (心裡日記 – Sam Hui)), I think it was done purposely to bring back that ‘old school’ feel. The lyrics are so similar as well, but it is a bit crazier.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The lyrics start off telling us the protagonist like to hang out with his love one after school. (Note that although it never mentioned in the song, but his love one should be a man, as 朱豔強 is set as a gay man (though Jim, the real person, is not homosexual)). In the weekend, the protagonist and his boyfriend play with kite and walk on the beach; they cry when they get home (as they can’t see each other) and got so excited the next day when they meet at school. He wrote all these happy memories into his diary and every pages of his diary is about his boyfriend. Although the things in his diary are so outdated and old fashion, but when his kids or grandsons read it, it would became fashion again. He remembered during their trip, he kissed on his boyfriend and it was so pure. Every night, they kiss through the phone; he called to a radio show and picked songs for his boyfriend. Although they love have long passed, but these memories will always be in his diary.

Personally I love this song. The song brings a sense of pureness and puppy love feel. But what I like the most is the old fashion melody, it is something that is quite unique to that era and seems to disappeared in the modern days. Hope you will enjoy the song.
