好好活下去

David finished his earthquake song & I have been listening to it for a while. After I got over the disappointment that it was not as powerful as Dear God, I think it is okay. I like the chinese title 好好活下去 which is a bit difficult to translate but I think 'Continue to live' is fairly close. It has a simple melody, nothing very outstanding, & simple lyrics by WaWa. The arrangement is also fairly simple accompanied by piano which I assumed is played by David. If it was, then his piano skills has improved a lot ^__^ The intro is especially moving, very delicate, a bit hesitant & as one DTFCer remarked "Grey" Like rain pouring or tears falling, it is a kind of sadness that has no remedy. Almost like David surveying the earthquake destruction feeling heartpain but also helpless. I think most of us probably feel the same. When David starts singing, I was thinking not again another sad grieving song :P but it kinda changes tempo after the first chorus & becomes rather uplifting & David's vocals also become stronger. It is not a grieving song but it is actually what the title encourages: Continue to live!
The lyrics written by WaWa is also very touching. I esp like the line 'You are the miracle so don't lose to fate'. Anyway I have anticipated requests of those who cannot read mandarin so here's a rough translation:

Continue To Live
Music by David Tao
Lyrics by WaWa
Performed by David Tao
This moment of pain in the heart is indescribable
In your flowing tears are my tears
Let me sing you a song
To comfort the wounds in your heart and soul
Even if in your life, you have suffered irreplaceable loss
Your loved ones hope you will continue to love
Continue to live, you are the miracle
Continue to live, we will accompany you
We all love you, we will always love you
No matter where you are, no matter for how long
When you feel alone, reach out for your hand
Step by step we will walk together
Even if in your life, you lost everything in a moment
But now you are my child and my friend
Continue to live, we will accompany you
You are the miracle so don't lose to fate
Continue to live, we will give you courage
We all love you, we are always here for you
Continue to live, we will accompany you
You are the miracle so don't lose to fate
Continue to live, we will give you courage
We all love you, we will always love you

好好活下去
作曲：陶喆

演唱：陶喆
这一刻心里的痛 没有言语可形容
你的泪流着我的泪 为你唱首歌
安慰你伤痕的心灵
也许在你生命中 有些已永远的失去
爱你的人盼望你 带着爱在继续
好好活下去 你就是奇迹
好好活下去 我们都会陪着你
我们都爱你 我们永远都爱你
不管在哪个角落 不管时间多久
在你孤单的时候 拉着你的手
一步一步一起走
也许在你的生命中 此刻变得一无所有
现在你就是我的 孩子和朋友
好好活下去 我们会陪着你
你就是奇迹 不要输给命运
好好活下去 我们给你勇气
我们都爱你
我们一直在这里
好好活下去 我们会陪着你
你就是奇迹 不要输给命运
好好活下去 我们会给你勇气
我们都爱你
我们永远都爱你

I think EMI has made available this song for ring download with proceeds going to earthquake relief. Do hope the song is released as a single though cos I really want it. By the by the brown top that DT is wearing in the pixs looked kinda feminine *__*
