My CoSy tuNes (Original)

心像雨 Raining Heart

Song
曲:信玮 词:秋美
Apr 04

Personally I won't assume too much interpretation on the lyrics because it is not written by me... but in general, it connects the feeling of loss of love metaphorically with rain. Beautiful lyrics. How both ideas can interwine and contrast.

It was orginally intended for the melody to be written in a melancholic manner. However, with a twist, the tune has become rather upbeat. In my opinion, this gives the song a more reflective than narrative feeling. Thus the sadness becomes more subtle as oppose to a song tt just cries out its heartaching emotions.


暗恋  Secretly in Love


Song /Lyrics
词曲:信玮

This song is about a guy who unknowingly falls in love with a girl.... during junior college days... however never had a chance to know her..... or even talk to her.... many years later they got to know each other... by fate or by chance.... but no one knows what the future holds for them....

I discover this rather cool chord progression combination by random playing (A, Bb, F#m, B)... it is unusual compared to what i usually play.... and i tot it fits the pop rock kind of song perfectly... would be nice if can be integrated with a full band... drums base electric guitar... in terms of playing... i am not used to playing so fast too... so after adding the vocal variations.. it became a v challenging song to record once thru without editing.... i did about 15 over times...

Here is another version with the help of Cheeshan's guitar accompaniment. His guitar playing is so steady!


为你着迷  Crazy for you

Song / Lyrics
词:信玮 / 曲:Cheeshan
19 Feb 06

This song can be interpreted as an imagination from the guy's perspective or something that did happened.... With doubts about love, the guy eventually professses his love to the girl on Valentines' day with a splendid surprise at her home.... As both of them takes a stroll in the park under the glittering starry skies, he reaches out and holds her hand. Courtship love is no longer a mystery for both of them

Jazz guitar is obviously beyond my ability now. Special thanks to Cheeshan for music accompaniment and coming with this wonderful jazz riff. With that i exercised my imagination to fill in the lyrics and melody.


无能为力 Letting Go

Song / Lyrics
词曲:信玮

最远的距离,不是空间,不是时间. 是心与心之间。 美丽的景色,又代表了些什么?

Wrote the lyrics in May 2005. Only filled the tune in December after my ski trip when i got nothing to do at home... and all i can do is jam my piano and guitar.... Yesh... i know the piano part is quite stiff... guess gonna take me a few years to get better.... One of my all time favourites for now.... maybe due to my penchant for the sound of piano..... and love ballets.... ;)

Why is the setting on a train and surrounded by lush and green? That's because I was sitting on a train from Scotland back to London. Overwhelmed with emotions, I couldn't help but penned this down...


开启 Open Up

Song / Lyrics
词曲:信玮
6 Aug 05

不放开心怀,怎么能建立长久的友谊? 你有将心比心的知己吗?

This song is written specially for the musical Missing Romeo. It is a friendship song meant to celebrate the years of brotherhood between Haolun and Joel. The idea for this song is that it is supposed to be playful and jovial.... a banter between buddies. Eventually. the song is used but the lyrics were amended by Lance (who plays Joel) so that the language and content would have a better fit... as usual... lack of flair for lyrics...


不敢相信爱 Can I Trust Love?

Song / Lyrics
词曲:信玮
31 Jul 05

当你试着全心去爱时,生命的意义仿佛就集中在一个点上。 你有过心酸感觉吗? 是否怀疑过真爱?

The background behind this song is a pretty mythical tale... it is up to you whether you believe or not.... The guy in the story had just suffered a breakup. He is at one of his most down points in his life.... trying to pick himself up again.... gradually letting time pass and love to fade.... into perhaps... nothingness.... He embrarks on a holiday alone to a new place.... and meets a new friend on the plane.... because she is so nice... it just seems like and angel has befell upon him..... She brings him around and listens to his story... there... as he returned on flight back home... He sheds his last tears for his previous relationship... there... the magic continues....


是梦吗? Just A Dream?

Song / Lyrics
词曲:信玮
28 Jan 05

长途恋情,你有尝试过吗? 梦与实之间,如何取得平衡?如何找到自己? 顿时,我宁愿停留在梦里。

Okay... i got to admit... This is about me... haha... over the months and years... i have got to learn a lot about long distance relationship... my own experience... my friend's experience.... movies... dramas.... success and failures.... there is nothing definite about it.... sometimes it is the guy, sometimes it is the girl.... sometimes for a few months... sometimes a few years...
There is happiness and sadness... in the end, it is what you make of it....
What is true is you can never carry on a LDR expecting that it will be the same as a normal relationship... often, it is about coping with your own loneliness... finding yourself and who you really are... what you really need... i suppose... in every relationship, you always learn something about yourself.... ur limits, ur expectations, ur willingness to sacrifice....
I heard of a saying ''You are strongest when you are lonely'' bcuz you have no vulnerable spots... you don't depend on anyone or anything... nothing can break you... well i beg to differ... i think love in all forms makes us humans strong.... love is omnipotent, it can make and break us....


Christmas Surprise

词曲:信玮
Song /Lyrics
22 Dec 03

A jouney into someone's Christmas' surprise. Planning a surprise for someone?

This is definitely my first proper piece of music.... basically the technical part of it was that i was fanscinated by the key transposition in 黑色幽默 from A to C.... so i fiddled with the chords of the A key.... and came up with this short Christmas jingle... It is the Yamaha classcial guitar that you are hearing... contrary to many of the other pieces that was played in acoustic.... One of my all time favourites.. :)
