歌曲分享: 給十年後的我

Just wanted to share a song today by 薛凱琪 (Fiona Sit) called 給十年後的我. Interestingly when this song first came out in Fiona's album, I didn't pay much attention to it. However in Fiona's last album called, 'Smile', this song was added as a bonus track and remade as a duet featuring 湯駿業 accompanied with a piano only. This time it caught my attention straight away! Every time when I listen to it, it left me with a deep feeling, in close rapport with its audience. I am not sure why I like this version so much more. May be it's because it was done only in piano version, which once again appealed to my feelings. Or may be it's because it was redone as a duet with the harmony of a male and a female that made it so much better this time!?

黃偉文 (Wyman) has once again wrote some beautiful and direct lyrics. The song title, 給十年後的我 (to me in 10 years time), already gave the context of the song. If you read the lyrics below....haha I guess really it does make you think about life and time. These 'would be' the questions that you would ask and wonder in the present....what it'll be like in 10 years time:

這十年來做過的事 能令你無悔 驕傲嗎
...
對象和緣份已出現 成就也還算不賴嗎
...
老練嗎 你情願變得 聰明而不衝動嗎
...
快樂嗎 你忘掉理想 只能忙於生活嗎
別太遲 又十年後至想 快樂嗎

All these questions.... you wonder about the future and yet you can already give answers to for the last 10 years you've lived. This little song is short but it's so true, so true.....the importance of knowing how to reflect on your life. I would like to send this to the me in 10 years time too:

給十年後的我 (piano version featuring 湯駿業) by 薛凱琪

作曲: 陳小霞
填詞: 黃偉文
編曲 監製: 何秉舜@goomusic

湯: 這十年來做過的事 能令你無悔 驕傲嗎
那時候你所相信的事 沒有被動搖吧

湯: 對象和緣份已出現 成就也還算不賴嗎
旅途上你增添了經歷 又有讓稜角 消失嗎

薛: 軟弱嗎 你成熟了 不會失去格調吧
當初堅持還在嗎 刀鋒不會 磨鈍了吧

薛: 老練嗎 你情願變得 聰明而不衝動嗎
但變成　步步停下三思 會累嗎

合: 快樂嗎 你還是記得你跟我約定吧
區區幾場成敗裡 應該不致 麻木了吧

合: 快樂嗎 你忘掉理想 只能忙於生活嗎
別太遲 又十年後至想 快樂嗎

To watch the video of the duet version:
(PS - this duet version was actually remade for the stage play in HK called "Last Smile, First Tear". I'm actually quite curious about the play, wonder if it's any good??? May be I can catch it later in DVD!):
