so what happens now


so what happens now
music:
L.A. Reid, Babyface, D. Simmons
lyrics: Lin Xi
arrangement: Terry Chan


what makes night and day reverse in colour
what makes our memories fade away beyond recognition
the greater the turbulence our relationship suffers, the more we don't know who has caused a greater erosion
how much I need you, yet I have never cherished
passion, it has completely burnt out
turning back after indulgence, it is clear that we can never go back
heaven and earth, suddenly impart no warmth
this world no longer allows two hearts to fall in love like a burning flame

in the past we pursued bitterly, and yet we've come to this point
we love so uninhibitedly, yet it no longer can continue under this vast horizon
in the past we only knew how to enjoy, and we've suffered from our own doing
the past has determined the future, it's clear that we can never go back
how can we go back

perhaps we can no longer breathe in each other like we used to
perhaps you and I never play our roles with all we have
in the past we mistook the fact that after romance, it would be a long lasting life
we only knew how to stake claims, but never knew how to cherish
passion, it is like a new sheet of paper
once has it been stepped on, it can never turn back to its original colour
heaven and earth, they can feel tired like our emotions
this world no longer allows
two hearts to fall in love like a burning flame

initially it was as natural as the wind, flowers, and snow
since when did our embraces and kisses become as if they were contaminated
what makes our visions become clouded by thick smokes
and we can no longer see clearly our yesterdays

we want it badly but always out of reach
how come we have embarked on the path of no return
heaven knows it's getting late
our love is exhausted
suddenly we have learned that the more we can keep each other at bay the better

天大地大
曲: L.A. Reid, Babyface, D. Simmons
詞: 林夕
編曲: 陳明道

甚麼使黑夜白日顛倒一一變色 ?
為什麼你我漸認不出當初記憶 ?
彼此關係越劇烈震盪, 越被誰侵蝕
多麼需要你, 偏沒法珍惜 !
感情原來全消耗盡 !
放任以後回頭才知努力也沒法還原 !
天地像突然地不再熱暖 !
這世界逐漸難容火一般的心熱戀

當初辛辛苦苦追逐, 到了這地步卻結局 !
愛到這樣盡情為何天大地大仍難繼續 ?
當初只知相戀享受, 到了這日自作自受 !
過去註定未來原來不能回頭怎能回頭 !?

或者不可像舊日呼吸彼此氣息 !
或者你我未盡力演好彼此角色 !
當初只誤會浪漫過後是漫長生命
只懂得佔有偏沒有珍惜 !
感情就如白紙那樣
踐踏以後從前顏色永遠沒法還原 !
天地猶如情惑會倦
這世界逐漸難容火一般的心熱戀 !

本來如風花雪自然
你共我在何時連擁吻都似沾上污點 !
甚麼使彼此眼光似隔了污煙 ?
再也沒法還原清清楚楚的昨天 !

想得到卻想不到 ! 怎麼會同踏上不歸路 ?!
天知道時候已不早 ! 情感虛耗
方知道原來是越淡薄越是淡薄越是好 !

begin again


begin again
music: Clarence Hui
lyrics: Lin Xi
arrangement: Chiu Tsang Hei


let's live without a name effective today
let's follow our emotions to do silly things
I no longer have any courage to know
what's in store for me
let's not think about anything from now on

let's use an excuse saying it is not meant to be
let's forget about time and year
the one whom I love the most
is not in love with me
let's just look for a one night stand

in fact I am too tired to ask
when my dreams will come true
it's my fault, I shouldn't have waited repeatedly

is life about waiting from dusk to dawn
I am too afraid, my future is just the same
is life about finding a direction
who has the same soul worthy to share with me
(perhaps beginning again, I can discover......who understands)

不如重新開始
曲: 許願
詞: 林夕
編曲: 趙增熹

不如從今天起沒名字 !
不如隨著情緒作傻事 !
沒勇氣再知道
有甚麼等待我
不如從此不想任何事 !

不如隨便推搪沒緣份 !
不如忘掉時間或年份 !
被我最愛一個
愛著的不是我 !
不如隨便找一夜情人 !

其實我已厭了問
何日讓夢變真
是我錯了 ! 錯在一等再等 !

生命是否是天黑等到天亮 ?
我卻太害怕 以後亦是同樣 !
生命是否必需找一個方向 ?
誰擁有同樣的心靈值得我分享 ?
(重新再來或者可能尋找到......誰明白)

begin again - turning over a new leaf


Begin again was a deliberate change of direction. Without a shadow of doubt, Stardust Factory produced a high quality project, yet without tying all the tracks with a clear and coherent concept. Since 1987, Sandy and her team began producing concept albums, which had proven to be successful and groundbreaking. Six years passed and perhaps it was time to try something "new". To many fans, this was a change that required some adjustments.
