day 16 → a song that makes you cry (or nearly)



Pretty high up there among songs-that-I-can-cry-to-quite-woefully.

汪峰 - 像个孩子 (Wang Feng - Like a Child)

当我站在大桥上面   静静凝视这个城市
没有人能知道我有多想哭
那些纵横交错的路   就像我一样寂寞无助
抱紧我抱紧我   直到我有一种温暖的感觉
我真的需要你来爱护我   像个孩子

 当我站在大桥下面   默默注视这个城市
没有人能知道我有多孤独
那些沉默伫立的楼   就像这生命去无方向
抱紧我抱紧我   直到我有一种温暖的感觉
我真的需要你来理解我   像个孩子一样

 抱紧我抱紧我   直到我有一种温暖的感觉
我真的需要你来爱护我   像个孩子
抱紧我抱紧我   直到我有一种幸福的感觉
我真的需要你来理解我   像个孩子一样
像个孩子一样

 When I stood on the highway bridge, silently watching this city
No one can know how much I want to cry
Those mismatched crossing roads are lonely and helpless just like me 
Hold me hold me until I have that warm feeling
I really need you to love me like a child

 When I stood silently watching the city under the bridge
No one can know how lonely I feel
Those silent skyscrapers without a sense of direction just like this life
Hold me hold me untill I have that warm feeling
I really need you to care for me like a child

 Hold me hold me untill I have that warm feeling
I really need you to love me like a child
Hold me hold me until I have that feeling of happiness
I really need for you to understand me like a child
Like a child

His songs all tend to strike the same chord (HA. UNINTENTIONAL) with me. I also love 尘土 and 彼岸.

P.S.

This one's really a tearjerker too -

Story is sad too. SADFACES ALL AROUND.

(I guess you can skip to 3:10ish, but I like to listen to her talking about her stuff. WHATEVER. MM. WHATEVER YALL DON"T KNOW ME.)


迎面一个老尼姑走过   把路灯看破
有你在家里苦等的我   难道比她幸福得多
现在不想下班的我   没爱好难过   有爱算什么

 我恨我   我不知道想要什么
我不知道拥有什么   可能我们都寂寞

 走过马路的我说   一个人寂寞   两个人寂寞

 可能我   我不知道拥有什么
而我又缺少什么   我还拍什么
拍什么
我不知道爱算什么
而我又算什么   我们都寂寞

Across the way an old nun walks by, seeing through the streetlight
Having you waiting for me at home, am I much happier than she
I now don't want to leave the office, miserable to not have loved, what does it matter to love

I hate myself, I don't know what to want
I don't know what it means to have something, We all might just be lonely

Walking across the street, I say "One person is lonely. Two people are lonely"

Maybe I don't know what it means to have something
But what do I lack? What do I still fear?
What am I afraid of?
I don't what love means
But what am I. We are all lonely.

Hammurabi's Code

And other things. Hammurabi's for my etymology paper. The other things are for my friends. It's my genius  fault, really. I REALLY want to make a parallel between the hit show Friends  and my, well, friends. But we soon realized that the pool of characters wasn't enough to cover all of our friends. So, we started collecting more characters from TV show, cartoons, movies, books. Maybe what we need is our own original series. Too bad we don't have an objective third person to use as a narration device. I, as challenged by one of the said friends, will simply serve as the writer for now (let's ignore all of my emotional, delusional. and hormonal baggage that all of my imaginary audience is familiar with from previous posts). Let's start off with the easy ones... _____________________________________________________________________________ Coach Coach - Nick Kent if you're well-versed in the world of sports blogs - as I like to call him, has been a class...

So the conversation with my middle-aged, Chinese father went like so: "I remember the movies that impacted me the most when I first came to America" "Titanic" "No, Charlie " "Dad, what the hell is Charlie? I've never heard of it before?" a low-budget, 90s film perhaps? "nononono...You know the one with the 娃娃(doll) with the scar. Scary" "A doll? You mean Chuckie?" "Yeah. That's what I said. Scary doll, scared the shit out of me" "Really? Did you understand english then?" "哎呀(onomatopoeia of exasperation- aiyah! ) I didn't need to. So. Scary. At first, I watched by myself, but then I was too scared so I convinced your mother to watch it with me. She was pregnant with you at the time, I think. She thought the movie would influence your birth, but I was scared so there were no other options" "...So you risked your firstborn's birth to watch Chuckie?" "...Yes" ...

30 Day Drawing Challenge - Day 2: Favorite Animal

My darling Bonbon the Chihuahua. Who is more bark than bite. Who hates small children. Who is my favorite 跟屁虫. Who is a small dog in the land of giants. Who does not  shiver or have weird body proportions because she has more dignity than your average Chihuahua. Love of my life.
