Melodies of Life

My Star

2007-04-30T16:49:00.000+08:00

If there's any way to describe this song, it'll be that it's super sad. xDD I learnt many things through writing this song, especially that I must be true to each song I sing and be part of the song.

My Star
Direct Translation: I was once loved

Your tears melt so easily when they get near the sun
Your heart was never this strong
Full of worries It's like that rain cloud in the sky

I've heard that the stars in the sky feel lonely too
I've heard that someone has flew up to search for them
If it's possible I'm willing to withstand the weight of those heavy wings

Two hearts were once truly in love alongside that lovely night sky
As though knowing that I'm weak the stars seem to form a constellation of your face
At the very bottom of my heart lies pain in its most bitter form yet I'm glad
To have once been so deeply in love

Repeat Verses

Two hearts were once truly in love alongside that lovely night sky
As though knowing that I'm weak the stars seem to form a constellation of your face
At the very bottom of my heart lies pain in its most bitter form yet I'm glad
to be your star just as you are mine, forever *
(to be able to be the guardian angel of our love, forever)

* does not appear in actual chinese song - original english lyrics

I Cannot Cry

2007-03-24T21:27:00.000+08:00

Yeah, I finally did an English version! Hohos. For some reason, I really like the English version of this song (esp. the chorus).

Enjoy!

I Cannot Cry

I cannot cry
No matter how hard I try
I recall
Those painful memories of losing you
When I thought
I had left them hidden at the bottom of my heart

I don’t want to smile
Or to go on with life
Who’s that person
Making fun of love?
Gradually as time goes by
My future seems out of reach

Even till the last moment
I still held hope that you and your love
Will return to me

Today’s Sky watches me looking out at sea alone
And from the reminiscent sunset it turns grey so quickly
Just thinking about a our once pure and simple love
All I wanted was to be Forever by your side
My heart has cried for so long
Yet I cannot cry

I don’t want to smile
Or to go on with life
Who’s that person
Making fun of love?
Gradually as time goes by
My future seems out of reach

Even till the last moment
I still held hope that you and your love
Will return to me

Today’s Sky watches me looking out at sea alone
And from the reminiscent sunset it turns grey so quickly
Just thinking about a our once pure and simple love
All I wanted was to be Forever by your side
My tears have yet to become part of the sea
Somehow I cannot cry

It Feels So Unreal

2007-03-16T09:48:00.000+08:00

Of course "The Day Before the Audition [special xD]" is not my latest's song's title. xDD It more of an alternative title to hide the fact that I can't think of a nice English name for my song. xDD

Through this song you can pretty much see how I'm feeling right now, before the audition. xDD But maybe there's no link because nearly all my songs are sad & of heartbreak. My favourite line in the entire song is "Ni Bu Zhi Dao" or "You don't know [about]".

Maybe you'll like to vote for the best title. xDD
1) It Feels So Unreal
2) All Lies
3) Can I Question Your Love?

Haha, this is so weird. Anyways, enjoy the song! :D

Love Story

2007-02-10T13:32:00.000+08:00

Okay, so Love Story isn't the direct translation of the song title, it's basically what the song is. The direct translation would be The Wind and the Cloud - a song where the beauty of nature meets the beauty of love.

Road To Happiness

2007-01-18T20:11:00.000+08:00

Finally, a song free of heartbreak. xD I was in a super jolly mood when I wrote this (which is a huge contrast from now) and besides, At The Beginning is a song filled with hope, happiness and love so how could I fail it? ^_^

Presenting, the Road To Happiness! :D

Stormy Heart

2006-12-24T13:53:00.000+08:00

I can only feel
Endless emptiness in my heart
Whenever I lose grip of your hand
I always take it up again
And cherish the moments I’m holding your hand

The sky is so peaceful
Yet our love is like the choppy sea
With storms and difficulties ahead

Forget it Yet the tears still flow
Why is your shadow so small
I can’t seem to see it no matter how much I try

I’ve missed love
I can only let your love disappear from tomorrow
I try to let go but I can’t seem to stop the pain in my heart

I can only feel
Endless pain in my heart
Whenever I lose grip of your hand
I always take it up again
And cherish the moments I’m holding your hand

Who washed away the promises we made
Why did you promise
To always be by my side

Stay On

2006-12-16T12:08:00.000+08:00

This song is about someone who chose dreams and aspirations over love and eventually comes to regret it. Stay On is a form of apology and a promise that he/she will stay on.

Thinking back I was too stubborn
No matter what you did
I still chose to leave you

Thinking back I acted immature
You could do anything for me
And yet all I did was to watch your heart break

Now that loneliness seems so near
Only do I understand

Thinking how I was supposed to reply when you said you loved me
I was reading too much into it
I kept running away from you and going after my dream
Till loneliness began to find a home in my heart

Thinking back I was too selfish
Always putting my aspirations before you
You were understanding and never once blamed me

Now that loneliness seems so near
Only do I understand

Giving up all my dreams and aspirations
Just so long as I don't miss being with you
I'll be contented
I won't be upset...
I'll stay on~

Over The Rainbow

2006-12-07T14:18:00.000+08:00

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There is a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

The night wind blows across gently
As I walk alone on the pathway
As if many times, we brushed past each other without realising

My tears drop like pearls on the floor
Whatever we say now is of no use
Our cries can only fly away like dust

I thought I could let go
And let the rainbow merge into a white hole
I can't No I can't Now we can only let go without knowing why

At the other end of the rainbow lies our dream land
We failed to cherish it and had to let it go
Now it may not mean much
But it'll continue to stay in my heart

Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top
That's where you'll find me

Lost In Love

2006-11-21T15:25:00.000+08:00

It's been so long since I've posted...

Other than the original meaning of the phrase "lost in love", which the female lead probably never went through or experienced before the song (I feel like I'm writing a story xDD), it also means that she has lost in terms of love.

*continues explaining to self* When will I ever embark on a song without love? xDD I shall do one on dreams the next time ().

This must be my shortest song yet...xD

7 Wonders of the World

2006-11-01T21:22:00.000+08:00

No, I don't mean tangible things, but the intangible 7 wonders.
Actually, the idea of the 7 wonders didn't originate from me - I got them from a story.

The 7 wonders are :-
To See
To Hear
To Touch
To Taste
To Feel
To Laugh
and To Love.

The whole song was meant to be set in the carnival, but the asking of the girl's approval came up at the last minute. ^_^

Note: The 7 wonders are highlighted in the song.

Enjoy! :)

Forever Saranghae

2006-10-30T18:17:00.000+08:00

A mix of my sudden interest for Korean culture (Goong) and my usual randomness. xDD It's supposed to have an uptempo beat, but the lyrics make me think otherwise.

I really love the computer. It's so easy to write songs with it. Due to my absolute laziness however, there will be no hanyupinyin version. But for once the english title has no relation whatsoever with the chinese title. xDD

I have officially succeded in not writing the word "Love" in my song (unless you count Saranghae - Korean)! *clap clap*

FYI: Just incase anyone doesn't know, "Saranghae" means "I love you".

Forever Saranghae

As a kid Whenever I feel like crying
I’ll imagine you’ll come and save me
A handsome knight riding on your white stallion

Now that I’ve grown up It doesn’t really matter
Yet you appear in my dreams today
You shielded me from the rain and my loneliness

In my heart You are that special you
Just like how I imagined
I dried my tears
And I forgot all my worries
Because of your protection

In my heart You are that perfect you
As sincere as I imagined
You light up my life
I’m the luckiest girl in the world
With your care and concern

Wo~ The one in my heart
Forever Saranghae

With or without you

2006-10-20T23:45:00.000+08:00

Another piece of work to share with....errr, myself. xDD

Just incase anyone else is reading it, no sticky paws please. :)

The initials of this song is WOW-Y. XDD It really doesn't suit the mood...hahas. xD

With or without you © 2006 Angela

With or without you

I look at the stars shining dimly in the night sky
And I ask myself how it is possible to act strong
But I know No matter how hard we try
Nothing will ever be the same again
So I pretend to be someone I’m not

With or without you It’s all the same
The world’s still moving but it’s suddenly so apparent

With or without you I feel no pain
Will the emptiness in my heart cease to remain

Drying the tears with the back of my hand
I realise how different it feels without you by my side
And I understand No matter how much I gain
I will forever lose the warmth of your shoulder
Even so I choose to let go

With or without you There’ll still be rain
My coloured umbrella suddenly seems so grey

With or without you Nothing will change
I hear your voice; is it my hallucination

The fact remains that we are both
So equally stubborn and unwilling to give way
Yet I know No matter how far we hide
We still miss each other dearly
Must we continue to deceive ourselves

With or without you It’s not the same
After you left I’ve never smiled from the heart

With or without you Love’s not a game
I was destined to be part of your everyday from the day we met

I turned back and my eyes met yours
Time stopped at that moment

hanyupinyin version coming soon.

Stay In My Heart

Stay In My Heart © 2006 Angela

Chinese Version

English Version

I don’t remember how many grasslands I’ve crossed
Just to be by your side
It’s only when I reach my destination that I realize
This shouldn’t be my destination

I didn't care how many grasslands I have to cross
Just to be near you
It’s only when I saw you that I realized
You cannot be my destiny

I don’t want to resign to fate
I don’t want to just be able to look at you
From a distance

Can I think of you
I often ask myself this question
Even when I think I’ve got the answer
I still have my doubts

I shouldn’t be thinking of you
The reason why I’m so undecided
Yet you continue to stay in my heart
Refusing to give up even when met with difficulties

I don’t remember how many clouds I’ve stepped on
Just to be part of your fantasy
It’s only when I met you that I realized
We shouldn’t have met

I didn’t care how many skies act as barriers
I just want to be part of your every day
It’s only after meeting you that I realized
I cannot be your destiny

Unwillingly I resign to fate
I accepted that I could only be able to look at you
From a distance

Can I love you
I know it’s selfish for me to ask this question
That’s why even when I think I’ve got the answer
I still have my doubts

I shouldn’t be in love with you
The reason why I’m so undecided
Yet you continue to stay in my heart
Staying on no matter what happens

The Pain of Remorse

2006-10-12T17:05:00.000+08:00

This is a song I wrote for fun (I'm no professional, really!). This is the 4th presentable and complete song I've wrote. Enjoy!

This is a simple yet emotional song expressing how one feels after the person she used to neglect and take for granted leaves her for good. She never treasured his love, and it's too late before she realises he's gone.

This is my first song with an extra verse. I used to have only 2 choruses and 2 verses, so it's pretty much a breakthrough. And though I challenged myself to write a love song without the word "love" (I thought I succeeded at first), I realised I added it in without realising. xD And I'm not going to change it because it spoils the whole song, so here it is.

This is also the first time I'm composing without any melody. Usually I think of a melody and then I fit the words in, but this time I tried something different. Hope it works! :)

English Version

As the sun goes down
I pen my thoughts in my diary
Turning to the previous page
I wish it had never happened

My tears fill the page
I used to blame you for spoiling me
It’s only after you left me
I realised I can blame only myself for the emptiness in my heart

I’m starting to feel the pain of remorse
I used to neglect you
Till you gave up loving me
And I could only become part of your memory

I’m starting to feel the pain of remorse
I cannot do anything to make you stay
I couldn’t find the courage to say I’m sorry
And you lost the reason for loving me

I cry to myself It’s all too late
I will never get another chance to say
You’re My Everything

I listen to sorrowful ballads
And in my heart I compose one myself
How I wish you can get hear it
And understand the reason for my heartbreak

I’m starting to feel the pain of remorse
I used to neglect you
Till you gave up loving me
And I could only become part of your memory

I’m starting to feel the pain of remorse
I cannot do anything to make you stay
I couldn’t find the courage to say I’m sorry
And you lost the reason for loving me

And I realised it’s too late to bring love back
