4th Oct 2013 (放過自己 – Pakho Chau)

The song that I chose for today is “放過自己” by Pakho Chau. This is a new song by Pakho. I didn’t like Pakho too much as I thought he was one of those that sell his looks, but his recent songs seems to be quite ok, so I guess I shouldn’t prejudge him. The direct English translation of the title is “Let ourselves go”.

At the beginning of the song, the protagonist told us that one of his closest friends just betrayed him and he accepted it without saying a word. That person said something mean to him that gave him pain. He thinks that his view is very narrow because of his lack of knowledge. There are too much sadness in him and he got no way of expressing it. He felt that he is childish, he is extreme, but yet weak. He has been suffering from disappointment for a long time and he wonders when he would accept his fate. So he tried to change is view. The more he care, the more he need to let go. The more he scare, he more he needs to face the problem. This team mate gave him up, but the team mate move away from him. That enemy said that he is good, but he knows that not what the enemy think. He spent a life time on learning how to deal with others, and he started to accept people laughing at him. He had turn into a master of pain, he is not scare even watching scary movies. The surrounding people could be blaming him, but he doesn’t care about them now, he let them go and wipe off the bad memories. Every person, no matter what they did to him, he still see them as team mate.

I quite like the lyrics of the song. To a certain degree it is so truth. We hate people because of something that they did to us. But those people don’t feel anything, while we get sad. So why don’t we let it go, the more that we care the bigger the need we should let it go. Hope you will like the song.
