眼淚讓我流 - my own favourite, so far!



I wrote the song in early 2008. It was the day of CNY. A day of ultra cold 8 degree C. Quite obviously, Danny Chan's fans will know this is a song name that I got from one of his early hit 眼淚為你流.

It was in the morning. Totally freezing. I was awaken by this melody in mind. Most likely I was emotionally moved by the local artists' scandal during those days. There was nothing the victims could do, except crying. The feeling was so strong that made me finished the song in 30 mins with most of the lyric. I just named it "Tears".

In the chorus, I deliberately used 2 lines directly from Danny's song, because that was the very first thing that I thought of when I first heard about the news. It is just a weird thing to keep having that melody in my head, so I just felt like to document it. To some people it is like copying, but to me, it is a sacred connection between me and Danny.

The composition expressed a devastating feeling from a female point of view. So I used a very basic minor progression to compose the melody.

I am sure I will need to change the lines to avoid copyrights issue in order to sell the song, but I really enjoy this feeling of connection with the pass using music.
