You are my world

Sometimes, when I listen to songs and read the lyrics, they can make me tear, especially if that particular song holds a special memory of someone, something, some place to me. It is not that I am very emotional but sometimes at that spur of moment, that song seems to connect to you in a mysterious way and make you smile or cry. Sometimes through songs, they help us understand the deeper meaning, consciously or subconsciously. At times, songs are a splendid tool for communication, when we search so hard to find words and they just do not come out right. There are equally as many touching English songs as well as Chinese songs which I have come across and love listening to them. And with the powerful delivery by the singers, both music and words merged into a piece of poetry, conveying a message to your heart, which only you can understand.

I first heard this song when a friend sent a downloaded file through MSN to me. I didn't know why but when I heard the song and lyrics, tears just welled up, because it was quite touching. So much so, this remains my ringing tone in my mobile phone for so long. Yes, I am a sentimentalist.

I also remember this song by Eric Moo when I was schooling, which he wrote for his then girlfriend. It was about your first love and whatnots. I may not agree to the ending in the song, but it was a beautiful song alright. Now it has been reprised by a relatively new singer 曹格 with a fantastic dreamlike voice.
