天灰Grey Skies

My favourite song in S.H.E's 8TH album Once Upon A Time is track number 4 天灰Grey Skies.

The song narrates that the person has fallen out of love. He/She takes the relationship very seriously(If you'll never be here again, there won't be anything precious left in my world), and falling out of love has been the worst period of his/her life.(as reflected in the lyrics)

This track seems to resemble previous tracks composed by Jay Chou, such tracks as Hou Niao 候鳥 from the previous album Encore! although it is composed by 施人誠 .

Overall, the album is a must for S.H.E fans but non fans may also consider this album, as it is from one of the most popular girl chinese pop group in Taiwan. Other tracks that I would recommend for this album are track 1 不想长大 (”I Don’t Want To Grow Up”) , track 9 神枪手 (”Sharpshooter”) and track 10 星星之火 (”Twinkling Star”) . The MTV made for track 1 不想长大 (”I Don’t Want To Grow Up”) has an opening with a fairy tale book opening called Once Upon a Time which starts off the album and the album ends with Track 10 星星之火 (”Twinkling Star”) closing off again with a fairy tale theme which goes along with the main theme of the album.

詞:施人誠 曲:馮士哲

如果你不再出現 我的世界 還有什麼可貴
ru guo ni bu zai chu xian/wo de shi jie/hai you she me ke gui
If you'll never be here again, there won't be anything precious left in my world

可惜不夠時間 讓我們試驗 什麼叫永遠
ke xi bu gou shi jian/rang wo men shi yan/she me jiao yong yuan
It's a pity that there's not enough time for us to experiment this thing called eternity

想念變成懷念 心動變成心碎
xiang nian bian chen huai nian/xin tong bian cheng xin sui
What used to be thoughts have become mere memories/Heartache turned into heartbreak

偏偏還會關切 你最後屬於誰
pian pian hai hui guan qie/ni zhui hou shu yu shui
I'll still wonder/Who will you belong to in the end

我的天空今天有點灰
wo de tian kong jin tian you dian hui
My sky looks a bit dark today

我的心是個落葉的季節
wo de xin shi ge luo ye de ji jie
My heart is like the season of falling leaves

我不知道如何度過今夜
wo bu zhi dao ru he du guo jin jie
I don't know how I'm going to go through tonight

所有的燈早已經全都熄滅
shou you de teng zao yi jing quan dou xi mie
All the lights had already died out

如果你從沒出現 我會不會 覺得快樂一些
ru guo ni cong mei chu xian/wo hui bu hui/jue de kuai le yi xie
If you were never here, will I be happier than I am now?

可惜殘忍時間 總要把諾言 一點點摧毀
ke xi chan ren shi jian/zhong yao ba nuo yan/yi dian dian chui hui
It's a pity/The cruel time has yet again slowly destroy our promises
