海闊天空 (Hoi Fut Tin Hung)

Boundless Oceans Vast Skies in English.

Beyond released this song in May 1993 and it became Wong Ka Kui's last song with the band members :'(

Let this mark the importance of legitimate Hong Kong/Chinese music. Although Beyond has disbanded, at least it existed and because true music is timeless! :)

This song is about following one's dream. And also about the music journey of the group and the music industry in Hong Kong. One of my favorite lines;

多少次迎著冷眼與嘲笑, 從沒有放棄過心中的理想..
(doh siu chi ying jeuk laang ngaan yue jaau siu, chung moot yau fong hei gwoh sum jung dik lei seung)
Many times I have been looked down on and ridiculed but I have never given up on my dream..




The whole meaning;

The sea is wide, the sky is endless
Today in the cold night I see snowflakes passing by
Carrying my frozen heart I flow afar
Chasing through the blowing wind and rain, yet in the mist I no longer see things clear
Between the wide sea and endless sky,
You and me maybe will change (who doesn't change)
How many times have I faced cold stares and laughs
Yet I'm not giving up and letting go of my dream
In a moment as if the feeling of lost,
Slowly, not knowing, my love is fading (who understands me)

Forgive me that in this life I did not let my love free
Though in fear that one day I will fall
Giving up dreams, anyone would be able too
Only one day you would be with me

Yet still letting myself free
Forever singing songs
Travelled thousands of miles
