| The Memory of the Rain Today, it's raining slightly outside the recording studio. My recording producer came towards me and said, " Isn't today's weather a coincidence?" I replied jokingly, "No la, I specially arranged for this rain, to create some ambience!" It's a very strange feeling. This time coming to Hong Kong, I have a wish.... I hope that before I leave everyone for a while, I can share with you the songs I love and some of my memories. Therefore all the songs in this album are chosen by me. Strange! Is today's rain arranged by heaven? While that rain was arranged for me, or is it really a coincidence? (Remembered a rainy day when I was 17) I remembered my manager had persuaded me many times to sing and release an album. At that time, I wasn't really interested and didn't put his words to heart. In that rainy street, I said, "I'm leaving." He said, "Since it's raining, why don't you leave with me in the car?" I replied, "I'll ride my motorbike in the rain, though wet, but it's no problem at all." Then he said, "Then I'll go with you on your motorbike together in the rain." Eventually, he accompanied me through 3 years of rainy days. The Lights Among the Dark Clouds I still clearly remember, once when I was riding on my motorbike in the rain, along the seaside, I noticed that among the dark clouds, it's starting to seep in beams of sunlight. This scene was just like the first time I stepped on the dark stage, with only a spot light hanging above the stage, shining on me, making my body feeling hot and even made my heart burning up. I'm starting to like this way of growing. After that, I have the chance to stand in front of the camera under the lightings, becoming a character in the movies, I felt really excited. Because since young, I love to watch movies, I never thought that I would be so engrossed in filming a movie as compared to watching a movie. Although I had injured myself when filming, I would think of the experience and feeling of filming an ancient movie for the first time. Try asking which martial arts expert doesn't have any scar. Every character in the show can give me different new feelings and principles of life, but I still haven't act as a young army lad! Mood After the Rain Once, I was piling a model car a fan gave to me, someone walked towards me and asked whether I like cars or songs more? At that time, I replied him, "I like cars....because I can choose the models, styles, capacity and functions, etc, they're just like my loved ones. Later, after some thoughts, I still like songs more, because I realised that some things, even if I like them, but I am not able to choose, it's just like I never thought that so many friends would choose to like me and my songs, making them as their loved ones. Because of this reason, I love singing more! Thus someone asked, this little lad doesn't have any experience in love, so how does he try singing love songs? I replied him saying, there's a window in my room, I see scenes of images through the window, that's my aspiration for love. I see it raining outside the window, that's my sadness for love, and outside the window far away in the sky, I know there's my loved one out there, so I will use my songs to repay for their love. Sunlight is a Form of a Gift Still remember the time when I just started out, many people say my image is a sunny lad. While at my growing stage, those people still can't remove their original impression of me. But I believe that sunlight is a gift to every young people, the lively colour in the stage of growing. Not only in pursuing happiness, more importantly is to fulfil your dreams. I'm very fortunate to be able to fulfil my dreams, but I've also put in hard work and also lost some things. Perhaps you may feel that being short of some things now, but ahead, there's still your dreams waiting for you to work hard to pursue. I really hope to give you all a gift, that is 'ENCOURAGEMENT', to thank you for all the gifts you gave to me! Heart Cloud In the dark, I continue driving my car ahead. My car suddenly stopped, unable to start. Waiting till dawn, I realised this world became black and white, and I'm in the middle of a borderless wilderness. I sat on the ground in a daze, looking up at the clouds....no knowing what to do. Suddenly behind me came a young lad who seems to be of the same age as me. I was very curious and after asking him lots of questions, I found out that he's only 3 years old, and he's from another world, but he didn't reply if he can bring me out of this wilderness.... He asked why I'm not sure of what I'm thinking and lost my way? I said that my heart is just like the clouds in the sky, changing all the time, but he said although those clouds don't have a shape, the colour is always white, and not black.... Lastly, he told me the sky is my heart, the direction I should look at, and the direction the stationary car is facing, is the direction I should continue heading. Although there's no more help from the car, I still have a pair of legs to complete my path, as long as I step ahead, the world ahead will revive its colour. After saying all these, he left and his last words to me was "We'll meet again 2 years later!" The Sky of Memories is Black and White In the dark and clear sky, there's white clouds and dark clouds, bringing me through these 3 years of sunny and rainy memories, and also contains the precious times I spent with you all. I chose all these favourite songs as a gift to you all, hoping that every song would be able to represent my appreciation to you. And in this period when I'm leaving you all, other than all the memories between us, I really hope these songs can be the same memory which we share as we grow up together. In the future of expectations and hoping to meet again, no matter if it's the sun or the rain in my turning point, I will never forget you all....every friend who supports me Jimmy Lin |
