humming a love song...

哼情歌-徐佳莹

在无关紧要的场合 都会想起这首歌
是因为 你曾经哼唱着
再平淡无奇的眼神 都会想起你呢
是因为 我曾被你凝望着

我只好夜夜哼情歌 是因为她拥着你了
不想往事因为你们背影而毫无气色了
是不是还爱着你呢 所以我心还在跳动着

还有什么舍不得 也只能哼情歌

was shuffling my music player in pure boredom today and was reminded of this song. the lyrics is only 2 paragraphs long, but... for some strange reason, i felt so touched. the title of the song literally means humming a love song, and the composer says this song was written based on a tune that her ex used to hum. the lyrics were short and simple, but the part that caught me was a part of the song that the singer hummed the tune instead of singing any lyrics.

so melancholic, so despairing, so...

sad.

sometimes, tunes by itself carry so much emotion, that having lyrics just seems surplus. this is a good example...
