Heal

In this world, seems like everyone just have so many hang-ups in their own lives.

...I'm guilty to have my own share, once in a while.

I was listening to radio the other day and heard this song ranked as #1 in the weekly hit chart. Melody is nice and the voice is very 'clean'. I immediately searched in web and to my surprise, the singer is... handicapped. He is blind.

The video is about a lady grieving over her failed relationship. And as she narrates and seeks comfort from the singer, she's also describing to him what colors are there in this world. The dialogue goes:

Lady: (after consolation)
The ocean is blue.. The sky is white.. The tree is green.. The flower is red. I'll paint love with color.. My smile is a spectrum of colors.

Singer:
My ocean is pitch-black. Sky is black. Tree is also black. Flower is still black. However, it seems like only love is white in color.

The mandarin verses of course are much more meaningful (I just made a literal plain translation). I felt moved by the song and the video. The singer happens to be a main guest performer in the previous National Day Parade. I admire his determination to inspire people with his talent as a composer and performer.

Maybe as long we have eyes to see, have feet to walk, or just being able to breathe, is there really a burden too drowning to let us down. Something to lighten us up.
