why I think LIFE should be simple...
After listening to this song:
小时候你想要什么
我要一台大大蓝色的飞机
带我环游世界
到地球每一个角落
在蓝天白云中穿梭
而长大以后我想要什么
我要一台小小红色答录机
和你一起录下
喂 我们现在不在家
蓝色变成红色因为你
柴米油盐酱醋茶
一点一滴都是幸福在发芽
月儿弯弯爱的傻
有了你什么都不差
小时候你想要什么
我要一台大大蓝色的飞机
带我环游世界
到地球每一个角落
在蓝天白云中穿梭
哦长大以后我想要什么
我要一台小小红色答录机
和你一起录下
喂我们现在不在家
蓝色变成红色因为你
柴米油盐酱醋茶
一点一滴都是幸福在发芽
月儿弯弯爱的傻
有了你什么都不差
给你快乐无论白天黑夜
握紧双手就算刮风下雨
我就是要你
要你待在我身边
保护你直到永远
柴米油盐酱醋茶
一点一滴都是幸福在发芽
月儿弯弯爱的傻
有了你什么都不差
月儿弯弯爱的傻
没有一个理由
活的那么复杂
有了你什么都不差
For those who do not understand Chinese, the song is basically talking about how a guy has a childhood dream of flying around the world in a BLUE aeroplane, but later on his only wish would be to own a RED answering machine, so that he can record a message on it, with the girl he loves.. And "蓝色变成红色因为你" directly translates to: Blue became red because of YOU...
Such a simple song, yet it invokes so much feelings...
The music video also provides a pleasant imagery of a couple cooking together, from when they are a young couple till they are old with greying hair. This shows that
One may argue that it is stupid for a man to give up his dreams and aspirations just to be with the one he loves, but on the other side of things, it also sends us a message that we don't necessarily have to dream big, think hefty thoughts and achieve colossal feats in order to be happy in life.
Just by cooking with your loved one is enough, and the song lyrics also mention about the 7 basic necessities of life: Firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea. It tells us that all we need are these fundamentals, and all these simplistic things will bring us happiness, little bit by little bit.
There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.
- Wayne Dyer
