Was introduced to this song back in my Uni days, when J-drama and J-pop is the trend.
This song was made popular by a Japanese Drama titled Love Generation.
Hear Me Cry is the main song in the drama.
And I am pretty sure for most role-playingvideo gamers who is an avid Final Fantasy fans would recognize this song in Final Fantasy X.
Despite is sounding raw and consistently low key, the song manage to make the heart shed a tear 😢.
Which is why to date, I still don’t have the courage to watch the drama itself.

Sometimes there are many things that words really cannot explain.
Some actions we cannot describe.
Some words are unspeakable.
Yet we all still always ask, and hope to get an answer.
明明就 不習慣牽手, 為何卻主動把手勾?
This song really fits the show, “The Greatest Love”.
Because you are my man
Because you’re still my man
I can’t stop these foolish tears
Be glad that the tears came running down.
Because some day it will dry up like desert.
Because some day, you’re no longer my man.

Many times in our life, we wish we could turn back time.
Start over a clean slate.
But we know, no one can actually do that.
In reality, there is no way to turn back time.
So we have to live our life to the fullest.
So we will not regret our life.

Was first exposed to this song from a TV promo clip.
As I couldn’t read Chinese, it would be hard for me to find the song as I can’t read what song title it was.
All I can recognize was this powerful vocal and can link it to A-Mei.
I totally love the song, because it resonates.
In the end, all that is left in our mind are just memories.
Memories that we don’t want to erase, because we will want to remember all the happy moments and forgo of the sad ones.
The line that hits me the most; “我和你的眼中,看见了不同的天空”.
It’s sad but the truth. Two person together, yet seeing different skies.
I suppose it is unavoidable, when both start to walk further and have opposite dreams.
Pinyin and English translation is available in the comment section.

The slow and sentimental music completely attracted me.
One of the few Korean songs that was not from any OST, and yet still manage to keep me wanting for more.
I went on searching for more Brown Eyed Soul songs after listening to this, only to find out that they have a whole list of songs that are so touching and comfortable to listen to in a cold rainy day.
Their songs made an everlasting impression. But by far, this song Promise You the best for me.
I rarely have this urge, but after listening to their LIVE version I wanted to fly over to Seoul and attend their performance.
Eternity is a strong word. While we can wish for it to happen, nothing stays the same.
Every thing that I know existed, needs to take the test of time.
Many of our youth are wasted chasing around useless things, may be even worthless things.
By the time we realise it, time has past and gone.
What is left is us, trapped in the past and refusal to walk out of it.
Some day we will find ways to free ourselves from the trap.
Eventually, for eternity.
