回憶 Memories 。。。我喜歡看相簿，我是個很念舊的人，從前我真的真的真的活得很累 (雖然我總是笑得很開心 silly me)； 所以現在的我不想再那般念舊了，不管是任何人(親人也一樣)只要不珍惜我的情感，一旦弄痛了我，我不會再像從前那般地特別忍耐了，��會很明確地告知對方：問題出在哪? 然後轉身離開，世界之大，天地悠悠，一個人生活很簡單，真的沒必要總是受盡折磨。

其實，長得再高大的梧桐，到了深秋也會枯黃；到了某個歲數的你，有時只不過是為了從前的某些個念想活著，而非為了不可知的未來。

【紅豆】

作詞：林夕 作曲：柳重言 編曲：Alex San

還沒好好的感受　雪花綻放的氣候

我們一起顫抖　會更明白　甚麼是溫柔

還沒跟你牽著手　走過荒蕪的沙丘

可能從此以後　學會珍惜　天長和地久

有時候　有時候

我會相信一切有盡頭

相聚離開　都有時候

沒有甚麼會永垂不朽

可是我　有時候

寧願選擇留戀不放手

等到風景都看透

也許你會陪我　看細水長流

還沒為你把紅豆　熬成纏綿的傷口

然後一起分享　會更明白　相思的哀愁

還沒好好的感受　醒著親吻的溫柔

可能在我左右　你才追求　孤獨的自由

有時候　有時候

我會相信一切有盡頭

相聚離開　都有時候

沒有甚麼會永垂不朽

可是我　有時候

寧願選擇留戀不放手

等到風景都看透

也許你會陪我　看細水長流

有時候　有時候

我會相信一切有盡頭

相聚離開　都有時候

沒有甚麼會永垂不朽

可是我　有時候

寧願選擇留戀不放手

等到風景都看透

也許你會陪我　看細水長流

其實，有時"等待"除了是一種兌現承諾的情義教養和習慣，更是種連自己都無法理解的癡迷，準確來說就叫：『傻瓜』。

In fact, sometimes "waiting" is not only a sentimental upbringing and habit to fulfill a promise, but also an obsession that even oneself cannot understand. To be precise, there is only one word: "fool". - Lan~*

And

▪︎ "For a while" is a phrase whose length can't be measured. At least by the person who's waiting.

─ Haruki Murakami, South of the Border, West of the Sun 村上春樹，《國境之����太陽之西》

▪︎ It's hard being left behind. (…) It's hard to be the one who stays.

─ Audrey Niffenegger, The Time Traveler's Wife

▪︎ If pain must come, may it come quickly. Because I have a life to live, and I need to live it in the best way possible. If he has to make a choice, may he make it now. Then I will either wait for him or forget him.

─ Paulo Coelho, By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept

It’s about misunderstandings between people and places, being disconnected and looking for moments of connection. There are so many moments in life when people don’t say what they mean, when they are just missing each other, waiting to run into each other in a hallway.

-- Sofia Coppola

2 different versions of the same song, this one from a recent gig, and the other (down below) from a Sofar Taipei event in Oct., 2017.

Vocal: 葉穎 Leaf Yeh Handpan: 李承宇 Angus Lee Cello: 吳登凱 Wu Deng Kai aka YoYo Sitar: 吳欣澤 (Uz Azer)

I think this was originally a song by Angus Lee, and Leaf added a melody. (description back at YT^)

Here we have Angus and Leaf playing a more subdued arrangement in 2017:

《蒲公英的約定》周杰倫 Jay Chou Official Music Video and

大提琴版本《A Dandelion's Promise》 Cello cover 『cover by YoYo Cello』 【經典懷舊系列】

@jonamias

ㅠ_ㅠ When I see your photo and read your text … I couldn't help tears falling. It makes I think of a man whose I worried As I got very sick among May to June. and Lucky I have this plant - "Dandelions (Taraxacum )" also a famous singer's song of Taiwan -《蒲公英的約定 A Dandelion's Promise》 be with me, comforted me, so I can walk out those cloudy days. And I want to say that :

人生或有機會重來，卻也有來不及的遺憾，

無論是友情和愛情，不要輕易地與人許諾，

無論多艱困和痛苦，不要放棄給人的約定。

There may be a chance to start over in life, but there are also regrets that it is too late;

Whether it's friendship or love, don't make promises to others easily;

No matter how hard and painful it is, don't give up your promises to others.

- Chu Lan~*

※ 蒲公英花語為「我在遠處為你的幸福而祈禱」。

The flower language of dandelion is "I pray for your happiness from a distance."

詞 Lyricist : 方文山

曲 Composer : 周杰倫 Jay Chou

This song 《A Dandelion's Promise》 is the episode of the film《Secret》which first time directed and starred Jay Chou, a famous Taiwanese singer also in Chinese, later this song developed into a love song. It’s about the boundary between friendship and love. Sometimes it is difficult to define it because of the age difference. You will realize after many years that the friendship you mistakenly thought at the beginning is actually an indistinguishable love.

The Lyrics mentioned that there was a fascinating fence garden behind the school, that was the place where Jay Chou took his junior high school and it was the place he first fell in love. He wrote this song, especially for this. Let’s understand this song from its lyrics.

“Dandelion by the fence in elementary school

It's a landscape with a taste in memory

The sound of cicadas came from the nap playground

It still sounds great after all these years

Send a wish origami airplane into a letter

Because we can't wait for that shooting star

Seriously toss the coin that decides the fate

but don't know where to go

The promise to grow up together

I believe it is so clear that I have ticked

Agree to travel together

It's the only willfulness you insist on now

Punished standing in the corridor to beat the palm of the hand

We pay attention to the dragonflies by the window

You follow me wherever I go

Many dreams are waiting to be carried out

The promise to grow up together

I believe it is so clear that I have ticked

Agree to travel together

It's the only willfulness you insist on now

The promise to grow up together

so sincere

I can't stop talking to you

And I can't tell

you are friendship

still lost love”

“Apenas deixo minhas lembranças serem levadas ao vento e tudo o que se sobra é a lembrança de que tudo poderá dar certo novamente.”
