The
song for today is “藝妓回憶錄” by Kay Tse. I don’t particular
like this song, but it is a song that show Kay’s singing skill. This type of
song was very Kay’s style, many of her older songs were performed with a ultra-high
pitch, to some degree that I start to think it is humanly impossible :p but
that’s partly what I like about Kay’s songs, high pitch but very comfortable.
The direct English translation of the title is “Memoirs of a Geisha” but I
think this song is not directly related to the movie.
The
lyrics of the song are about geisha. It said: “Heavy makeup, beautiful clothes,
perfect body. Singing skill that penetrates to the heart, lightly dance,
leaking out beauty. The attack of the eyebrow, it could destroy the strong
stone and burden. The wave like hand movement, small movement and is enough to
drown the customer. Acted for a long time, still beautiful, but started to step
down. Time flies, no longer being popular, and the world started to accuse it.
Dislike because of the lack of applause, dislike because of the lack of
interesting topic. Boring ceremony, so slow that you wanted to wash away the
enjoyment. A skill that you spent half your life practicing, at the end it is
of no value and moved away from the public. Songs and dance need to be popular,
but doesn’t need to be to away from the people, then it could suit the taste of
the public. Detailed, but not elegant. Dislike because of the lack of applause,
dislike because of the lack of interesting topic. Boring ceremony, so slow that
you wanted to wash away the enjoyment. A skill that you spent half your life practicing,
at the end it is of no value and moved away from the public. Songs and dance
need to be popular, but doesn’t need to be to away from the people, art need to
lower itself. detailed, but not elegant. No longer in love with classic beauty.
Too hard to understand the meaning and it lose the connection to the modern
world. Songs and dances need to quickly touch your emotion in order to
entertain everyone. Got the old skills, but sadly living in the modern world.”
Hope you will like the song.
