Lover's Concerto

Lover's Concerto

1998
The butterfly followed its antennae and found the blue flower pattern on her dress. She looked at it curiously wondering what it was doing on her lap. Before she can find an answer, the butterfly fluttered away. She watched it floating towards a new purpose. When the florid pilgrim flew out of site, she turned to me and smiled. At that moment I looked into her eyes and time ran askew. We were able to capture the instance in a floating loop of infinity. All the seasons blended together as the entire spectrum of the rainbow spiraled around us . Nothing else seemed to matter. We were untouchable, we were immortal... so it was... until, a few droplets of rain broke the spell. It's uncanny how such a delicate allurement was able to create such a powerful feeling. Disenchanted but still enamored, I reached for her hand. As our fingers touched, we felt the ozone ionizing. Like a scene from a movie we might have shared, the radio played Lover's Concerto as the smell of rain and the caress of summer's breeze hinted nostalgia. While we were reminiscing about the future, Kelly Chen's haunted voice transmitted from the radio and escaped into the atmosphere, swimming up against the rain. It fought the electrical barrage of the incoming storm. Up and up it went, penetrating through clouds, breaking Earth's gravity well, it reached the freedom of space. While holding onto the promise that "everything will be just as wonderful," the song traveled through void and vacuum, grazing the meadows of nebulae and stars. For what might seemed to be forever, it broadcasted its notes as it echoed through the desert of space and time. Near journey's end, the mathematical equation of harmony still stayed true to itself even when it flirted with the spiral of a galaxy before entering the solar system. It aimed towards a blue planet, surrendering itself to the pull of gravity and, breaking into atmosphere. The song serenaded the clouds as it floated down in a wave like gentle rain. The melody reached a pair of antennae and softly whispered to it, "keep this day in your heart eternally."


I like this fan made video more then the official one.

歌手:陳慧琳

How gentle is the rain,
that falls softly on the meadow.
Birds high up on the trees,
serenade the clouds
with their melodies.*

Repeat *

Oh!
See there beyond the hill,
the bright colors of the rainbow.
Some magic from above.
Made this day for us, just to fall in love.
You'll hold me in your arms,
and say once again you'll love me.
And that your love is true,
everything will be just as wonderful.

Now, I belong to you,
from this day until forever.
Just love me tenderly
and I'll give to you
every part of me.

Oh!
Don't ever make me cry,
through long lonely nights without us.
Be always true to me,
keep this day in your heart eternally.

You hold me in your arms,
and say once again you love me.
And that your love is true,
everything will be just as wonderful.
