Dance like no one's watching

Won free tickets to the F.I.R. live showcase at IMM Building, courtesy of Singnet. I’ve always liked some of their songs but was never a real fan. I was sufficiently impressed at the showcase however, to say that if they were to have a concert in SG, i would definitely consider going. I admire all singers who can pull off live performances and i really like the lyrics of some of their songs. Maybe it reflects the different chapters of my life.

The first F.I.R. song that caught my attention was 我们的爱. Here are the lyrics…

我们的爱

歌手:飞儿乐团

回忆里想起模糊的小时候
云朵漂浮在蓝蓝的天空
那时候的你说
要和我手牵手
一起走到时间的尽头

从此以后我都不敢抬头看
彷佛我的天空失去了颜色
从那一天起
我忘记了呼吸
眼泪啊永远不再

不再哭泣

我们的爱
过了就不再回来
直到现在
我还默默的等待
我们的爱
我明白
以变成你的负担

只是永远
我都放不开
最后的温暖
你给的温暖

不要再问你是否爱我
现在我想要自由的天空

远离开这被捆绑的世界
不再寂寞

The song comes from their first album and the lyrics of the song expresses very well certain thoughts i’ve always had.

Recently, F.I.R. released their 2nd album and their new song, 把爱放开 has been getting quite a bit of airplay. This song caught my attention ‘cos it starts off with an acapella rendition of half the chorus of 我们的爱. Very ingenious i feel! The lyrics also “continue the story” from the first song. But in this song, it basically talks about having to let go of an old love. The line i like best in this song is, “这次我决定走出回忆重来” which translates directly to “this time i’ve decided to walk out of my memories”.

把爱放开

歌手:飞儿乐队 专辑:无限

我们的爱过了就不再回来
直到现在我还默默的等待

当你开始追寻你要的自由
放开我们紧握的手
带走我的爱和天空
我不知所措我以为我会懂
我们的爱我们的爱
当我独自走到时间的尽头
回忆和我擦身而过
带走你的爱和笑容
我无力承受最后的一点心痛
我们的爱我们的爱
把爱放开把手放开
如果你的心已不在
把爱放开不再等待
你的温柔是一片空白
把爱放开把心打开
这次我决定走出回忆重来
就让我彻底地伤再彻底地醒过来
就让我彻底地伤再彻底地醒过来
å•Š……
这次我决定走出所有回忆重来
就让我彻底地伤再彻底地醒过来
就让我彻底地伤再彻底地醒过来
终于明白爱已不再
从今以后再也没有什么能去依赖
我还有什么期待
