My Star

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

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

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

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

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



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

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~
