Long Lost Friend
I ran my fingers through every key and button, recalling the good old days. I didn't have a score with me but then again I really doubt my ability to perform to the script. IF my memory serves me right, the very last time I laid my fingers on a piano was some 8-10 years ago.
I wasn't trained in piano but I've learnt the organ when I was much younger. If there's a regret in my life so far, that is to give up playing the organ. I hate to say this but I feel remorseful. My parents were extremely supportive and provided me with all the opportunities. I didn't appreciate this for I simply cannot understand how does sitting for an examination, passing it and getting a certain grade puts me in a league of "musicians". It doesn't, not at all.
I never liked what I played; in fact, the pieces that I've enjoyed most were the Christmas songs that I've bugged my teacher for it. She saw no point for that "won't help me pass my exams". Perhaps she would make an excellent tutor, or for that matter a MOE staff, an education officer. Very results oriented.
During my secondary school days, I remembered the piano at a corner of the school hall. I mean don't most school halls have a piano? I tried my hand at it. Well, things were different but the basic chords remained the same? A "C" is a "C", F# is F#.... you see the same " dao gays" on the scores right? I wasn't a very good player and was limited to simple pieces. But i found joy in music. I wasn't musically inclined; in fact I'm not much better now. However, I enjoyed the moments by the piano.
When the movie " He's a woman, She's a man" (金枝玉葉) was out, the ever popular song "Chase" (追) stuck on me until this very day. I tried my very best in trying to figure out where and how to start playing again. But some things, once lost, you can never get it back.
A young girl about 14 years of age approached me.
" May I, sir?" she pointed to the baby grand.
I smiled. " Most certainly!"
As she ran her deft fingers over the keys, the ever familiar tune filled the otherwise silent lobby. Yes, it's that song alright! As I made my way back to the hotel room, the wonderful days of yesteryear came running back.
I felt as if I've met a long lost friend.
追
这一生 也在进取这分钟 却挂念谁
我会说 是唯独你不可失去
好风光 似幻似虚 谁明人生乐趣
我会说 为情为爱 仍然是对
谁比你重要 成功了败了也完全无重要
谁比你重要 狂风与暴雨都因你燃烧
一追再追 只想追赶生命里一分一秒
原来多么可笑 你是真正目标
一追再追 追踪一些生活最基本需要
原来早不缺少 ha...
有了你 即使平凡却最重要
好光阴 纵没太多 一分钟 那又如何
会与你 共同渡过 都不枉过
疯恋多 错误更多 如能从新做过
我会说 愿能为你 提前做错
谁比你重要 成功了败了也完全无重要
谁比你重要 狂风与暴雨都因你燃烧
一追再追 只想追赶生命里一分一秒
原来多么可笑 你是真正目标
一追再追 追踪一些生活最基本需要
原来早不缺少 Oh... 只得你
会叫我仿佛人群里最重要
有了你 即使沉睡了
也在笑
