inspiration beyond Cape No.7

almost everyone has watched cape no.7, haven't u?

in the movie, DaDa's mom's granny has spent her whole life in cape no.7 waiting for her man who went for military service to be back; yet towards the end her man never returned. only the love letters he has written reached the granny, and the movie ends with this song:

范逸臣-情書

作詞：鄔裕康 作曲：駱集益


一直到雙手像枯樹一樣斑駁
這些字才想起了當時的溫柔
一直到郵差走遍千萬個門口
這些信才想起了流浪的理由

一封封情書穿越緩慢的時空
代替我來不及說的含情脈脈
我相信離開終究會有始有終
有一天我將能為你描寫彩虹

一直到海角吞沒船尾的臉孔
這港灣才揚起那鹹鹹的海風
一直到時間終於一去不回頭
這些信才回到我愛人的手中

一封封情書穿越緩慢的時空
代替我等了好久的十指相擁
我知道回去不一定一路順風
只希望有天好好梳你的白頭

只希望有天好好梳你的白頭

listening to the song and referring to the lyrics, i could imagine how cruel reality is in separating two deeply in-love souls regardless of how enamored they are.

life's short; life's prestigious; life's life.
life without regrets is not life. we always need to yield to reality. forlorn.
