Back to One album track 6: It’s Not What You Say But What You Don’t

My own version of Sex & the City. In the maze of love, sex, the city (cities), mind game, youth, time… we stumble through. Those days were not good, not bad either, just constantly lonely, with or without anyone around.

It’s Not What You Say But What You Don’t
(Chet Lam)

I opened my eyes before dawn watching your silhouette
A simple twist of mind
I chose to leave
Putting on my Saturday night shoes
Walking down the early morning Sunday street

Sometimes the shoulders you lean on at night
You will choose to forget in the daylight
There’s no question, so no need for answers
After a few sunsets, before we meet again
There’s no time to let our imagination run wild

Happiness is too fragile
There is no guarantee
Sometimes we do not dare to say the truth
When it comes to love
Clever people are always so careful
It’s not what you say but what you don’t

You are always the one falls asleep first
I am always the one who leaves first
I respect your freedom
When I kiss you
You have no need to tell me
Who else are calling your heart home

《思源》專輯第六首：不是你說什麼而是什麼你不說

那段Sex & the City的日子，我們自有自己的版本。那段日子的快樂來自別人，痛苦多數是自找的。

音樂上，這是第三個編曲，最後決定用一個我從來未用過的節奏，找來 TJoe演奏電結他，陳兆基 bass，Nate Wong 打鼓，and a lot of background vocals all by myself (isn’t it ironic)…

不是你說什麼而是什麼你不說
（曲詞：林一峰）

天亮前睜開雙眼
看著你的側臉
留或走 一念之間
我還是選擇離開
靜靜穿上週末晚上的鞋
踏上週日清晨的街

有時候深夜依賴不想放的肩膀
早晨會選擇遺忘
沒問題 不需答案
幾個日落之後 再見之前
沒空胡思亂想

幸福太脆弱沒有把握
有時不忍心一語道破
聰明人說到感情就是小心翼翼
不是你說什麼
而是什麼你不說

你永遠比我早入睡
我總是先離場
我尊重你的瀟灑
親親你 不用回答
你的心還是誰的家

#思源 #不是你說什麼而是什麼你不說
