That winter I went to Yunnan with less than four-figure savings due to emotional distress, and I planned to hitchhike north along the Yunnan-Tibet Line in Dali. When I left Dali, I met a sister from Guangdong in the QQ group, she just got on the train from Dali, so I always arrived at the next city before her, and she stayed in the hostel I recommended all the way. Later I went to Xi'an, and she went to Lhasa. The next day I was in Xi'an she told me that two days later was her birthday, and if I could sing a song to her, that song was Eason's "People Coming and Going".
I had never heard this song before, and as a fan of Eason I guessed the two words of "Ten Years", and I understood that liking someone is like liking a Mount Fuji, and if you have seen it, you can never claim it as private. I also smoked red tower mountain because of the sentence that I could meet you in the moment of my life and spent all my luck. I've heard too many Eason songs but I haven't heard this one. That day in the capsule room of the hostel, I wore headphones to listen to the four "XX will (have) gone", and unconsciously burst into tears.
I have been wondering what Lin Xi has experienced in this life to write such lyrics, the whole song with Eason Chan's slightly hoarse magnetic voice seems to tell a story, but we can always find our own shadow in the story to a greater or lesser extent. The first "friend has gone" in the word is that the male protagonist likes a girl, and the girl has a name and a master. Celebrating the promotion party on this day the heroine and her boyfriend quarreled so has been drinking non-stop, the heroine should have already noticed that the male protagonist has been very much in love with her, so she took the opportunity to pull up the man's hand, she held the back of the man's neck and whispered that she knew that he knew that he (the heroine object) said that there was something in fact, the excuse was just not to say broken, while talking about the boyfriend's matter while drinking wine slowly drunk.
"Lovers will go" The heroine still broke up with her and ran to cry to the male protagonist, perhaps because of the daily thoughtfulness of the male protagonist and the loss and pain brought about by the breakup, the female protagonist chose to be with the male protagonist. The heroine put away what he (the heroine object) gave her (possibly a ring). Does the man think I have you now? It doesn't matter, at least we're very good friends now. "Who do you miss most with your eyes closed?" Who is around you with your eyes open? The male protagonist looked at the sleeping female protagonist next to him and thought: Is the person you have in mind when you close your eyes? Or is he? The first person you see when you open your eyes is me, will you feel lost or happy? "I am grateful that there are still platforms in the station that can satisfy us to tears." The platform is a place to pick up and drop off people, whether it is parting, or returning, it is always good to have someone waiting. At the moment when the train entered and exited the station, I felt that the hearts of the male and female protagonists were also very touched by each other. (I don't know why I can always think of Mr. Zhu Ziqing's "Back Shadow" when I see the word "platform".) In fact, it doesn't matter whether you have "real" possession or not, you and I can remember each other, those "happy that have been", just stay with each other, if love can really be permanent, why would you choose me now?
The station witnessed more sincere kisses than the wedding hall
"Who will go", no one can always accompany a person, the heroine finally chose to leave the male protagonist, the male protagonist is a painstaking business and the female protagonist between the love affair, hope to be with the female protagonist forever, they took a group photo together, tried to go to the heart travel together but finally did not keep the female protagonist. "With my eyes closed, I miss who I am most concerned about, who is around me with my eyes open, and I am grateful that there are still platforms in the station that have satisfied us to tears." At this time, the chorus part changed from "you" to "I", and "can" became "zeng". The male protagonist lay on the bed and closed his eyes and asked himself if the person he was most worried about at this time was still her? Who is the person you see when you open your eyes? Forget it, now that you're gone, I don't need to think about it anymore, at least that short and beautiful time on the platform has touched each other. Whether I have really had or not, whether I have ever really had you or not, I have already remembered you, even if I have a lot of sadness and reluctance now, but one day it will pass. If love is just to be able to have you forever, then they will become very reluctant to have no real happiness with each other. Since my love cannot keep you forever, let me put my love for you and that memory into my heart.
"Time will go", time is a good thing, it will slowly dilute everything, the male protagonist held the hands of others after the loss of love, and on the surface he regained a feeling, but the male protagonist still remembered the beautiful long hair when the female protagonist held the back of his neck, although it is now a thing, but at least there is a privilege to have "owned" her...
"People Coming and Going" is considered by some to be the peak of Cantonese lyrics, and Eason Chan himself thanked Lin Xi for giving him such good lyrics in person at the concert. Leaving aside what others have seen, this song is already one of the best in my personal heart. How come we haven't experienced the four "walks" in the lyrics, the man who once snuggled in the crook of your arm in the sunset, now snuggled in the arms of whom? How many times did the vows that were made at that time when the youth were repeated? How many people in life are happily held up, and how many are helplessly put down. My personal favorite phrase is "If love is difficult to put in your hands, why not put this pair of hands in your heart." Lin Xi once said: I write a lot of words but I can't win a person. Wong Kar Wai said: When you can no longer have it, the only thing you can do is to let yourself not forget. In fact, true love is to know how to cherish this love when you can love, know how to let go when you can't love, and give good blessings when you let go. Knowing that it is already a miracle that some people can appear in your life, what else do you want? Once the vicissitudes of the sea are water, or the flowing water has no intention of falling flowers, it will slowly fade with time, and in the end, only memories are truly their own.
Personally, I think the best concert version of Eason Chan's "People Coming" is "Eason Chan Third Encounter Concert 2003 Concert", interested friends can go and listen to it. Here to thank this sister who has never met, thank you for recommending such a good song to me, three years have passed and I hope that you are living well now. The above content is purely taken from personal experience and opinions, if there is a deficiency, I hope that everyone Haihan, the first time I posted, I also asked you to understand more, and finally I hope that everyone has "had a happy drink". Thank you.
