力宏专辑周记 2001#2 No.32

Dear Friends,
    I’m writing to you today from the Kuala Lampur Airport in Malaysia. Last time I was here to do promotion for “China Strike Force” more than ten months ago. Now, here I am again with my brand new album, “Wei Yi, The One And Only”. I want to give a big thanks to all the fans in Malaysia for the huge turnout at my appearances in KL, Penang and Ipoh. What a great sight to see so many thousands of fans singing “Wei Yi” at the top of their lungs!
亲爱的朋友们：
    今天我在马来西亚的吉隆坡机场写这篇周记给你们。上一次我来这里，是十个多月前来做电影「雷霆战警」的宣传工作。而现在，我带着我的最新专辑《唯一》再次来到这里。我真的要很感谢马来西亚的歌迷朋友们，在吉隆坡、槟城和怡保的活动上，踊跃到场支持，看到数以千计的歌迷齐声高唱〈唯一〉，真是壮观。

    In this week’s diary, let’s start talking about the album itself. The songs, the melodies, lyrics and stories behind their conception…beginning with:
    在这个星期的周记里，我们来聊聊这张专辑。来聊聊这些歌曲、旋律、歌词、还有这些概念背后的故事：

    “Wei Yi, The One And Only”--this song was written on Mykonos Island, Greece between 5-6 a.m. This family vacation in mid-August was filled with slow afternoons and ocean-side breezes, tanned bodies and tall drinks, all the amenities of a proper summer vacation were in full effect. It had been almost two years since the last time I took a day off, let alone week, so there I was, finally having an opportunity to slow down and reflect on my life, my own personal life. There was no work to be done in Greece, my schedule was completely BLANK for the week! I do believe that time came to a grinding halt, actually forever stopped during the course of those few days, as part of my spirit continues to rock gently on a sailboat coasting across the Aegean Sea.
    〈唯一〉这首歌曲是在凌晨五、六点的希腊密克诺斯岛谱写完成。八月中旬的这个家族旅行充满了悠闲的午后和海边的微风、晒成古铜色的身体和高脚杯里的冷饮，身旁的一切事物全然塑造出一个很棒的夏日假期！自从上一次我放下工作、休假一天已经有整整两年的时间。现在总算能有个机会放慢脚步、反思自己的人生、自己的私人生活。在希腊没有工作要急着去完成，我那一个礼拜的时间表是完全的空白！我真的相信那几天的时间是完全静止的；事实上，时间已经永久的停留在那几天，而我的一部份灵魂仍旧留在一艘穿越爱琴海的帆船上，轻轻的摇荡。

    It was those same Greek stars and night sky, that inspired countless classic stories of Gods with human character flaws, that gave me loneliness on the morning of August 17. I quietly crawled out of bed so as not to wake my sleeping brother and father, then exited the house and began to walk aimlessly in the cold, empty street. It was 5 o’clock a.m. and I watched my moonlight shadow jot a few lines in this palm pilot, the song thus began: 　　　　
wo de tian kong duo me de qing xi
　　　　tou ming de cheng nuo shi guo qu de kong qi
　　　　qian zhe wo de shou shi ni
　　　　dan ni de xiao rong que kan bu qing
　　　　shi fou yi ke xing xing bian le xin
　　　　cong qian de yuan wang yi quan dou gei pao qi
　　　　zui jing wo wu fa hu xi lian zi ji de ying zi
　　　　dou xiang tao bi…tao bi.
    同样的希腊繁星和夜空，他们曾是无数经典希腊神话的创作泉源，描述着拥有人性缺陷的神仙故事，这同一片夜空和繁星也让我在8月17日的凌晨拥有孤独的感受。为了不吵醒熟睡中的弟弟跟爸爸，我蹑手蹑脚悄悄爬下床、走出屋外，开始没有目标地漫步在寂冷、空荡荡的街头。那时候大概是清晨五点钟，我看着月光下自己的影子，草草地在PDA上写下几句词，这首歌就这样诞生了：
　　　　我的天空多么的清晰
　　　　透明的承诺　是过去的空气
　　　　牵着我的手是你
　　　　但你的笑容却看不清
　　　　是否一颗星星变了心
　　　　从前的愿望已全都给抛弃
　　　　最近我无法呼吸　连自己的影子
　　　　都想逃避…逃避

    I must have subconsciously been thinking about how unfair love can be. How two people can be in a relationship, yet feel so differently about one another. She might be unhappy, while he might be completely convinced that she is “the one and only”. When two lovers are far apart, all they have to hold on to is their promise, which in this case, is already fading more and more transparent, floating away like yesterday’s air. He wonders if the star that they had wished upon together had had a change of heart, perhaps decided to abandon their wish, as it seems to be falling apart. Finally, he considers giving everything up in order to make it work. Getting away from absolutely everything, even his own shadow seems to be the only way that he can be with her.
    我当时一定是下意识的想到爱情是这么的不公平，为什么在一起的两个人对这段感情会有这么不同的认知差异。当他完全的确信她是他心中的「唯一」时，她也许是不快乐的。当一对恋人相隔遥远时，他们能握住的只有对彼此的承诺，但在这段时间里，承诺已逐渐凋零，变成透明，如同昨日空气一般的飘散。他怀疑那颗他们曾一起许愿的星是否已经变了心，又或许它已决定遗弃他们的愿望，因为昔日的承诺早已破碎不复见。最后，他考虑放弃一切来成全（这段感情）。彻底逃离每一件事物，甚至自己的影子也似乎是和她在一起的唯一途径。

   Many of the love songs that I have written in the past are about long distance relationships,
    “Forever’s First Day”, “You Can Tell Me”,”Mary Says”, “Trust”, to name a few. You can add “Wei Yi, The One And Only’, and “An Quan Gan, Sense of Security” to this list now, too. I guess when it comes to writing love songs, I can’t help but write from my heart. My own personal feelings at that given time move me and inevitably come to the surface. That is how I felt, sitting alone between 5 and 6 a.m. on Mykonos Island, Greece, August 17, 2001. Thanks for listening to this song and letting it into your lives.
    我过去写过很多情歌，都是关于远距离恋爱，像是〈永远的第一天〉、〈妳可以告诉我（妳还爱谁）〉、〈Mary Says〉、〈信任〉等等，现在你可以再加上〈唯一〉还有〈安全感〉这两首歌曲。我想，每当我写情歌的时候，我没有办法不从我内心深处去写。在那些时刻我自己的个人情感牵动着我的心，然后就会不自觉地呈现出来。〈唯一〉是我在2001年8月17日的清晨五、六点，独坐在希腊密克诺斯岛上的心情故事。谢谢你们听见了这首歌曲并让它成为大家生活中的一部分。

Peace on Earth,
Leehom
愿世界和平，
力宏
