Layton Wu 雷頓狗 - Say Goodbye (cover)
Expiry Dates Vol.1
「如果記憶也是一個罐頭的話，我希望這罐罐頭不會過期; 如果一定要加一個日子的話，我希望她是一萬年」- 何志武 (重慶森林)
對我而言， 這三首翻唱的音樂都沒有過期， 當然還有更多陪伴我的音樂也是如此。原本的想法只是學習這些音樂人的創作想法，但接著慢慢的做了不少首。
第二首是翻唱我超級喜愛的日本創作者Hiroshi Sato，我特別喜歡Orient 和 Awakening 這兩張在70末80初，以合成器、鍵盤為主來製作的音樂，也特別有東西合璧的感覺。而Say Goodbye 對我來說是很有意義的一首歌，有許多深刻的記憶，而記憶是一道無法抹去的痕跡，它會永遠住在你心中，如果要再次說再見， 我一定會當面說Goodbye。
感謝

" If memories could be canned, would they also have expiry dates? If so, I hope they last for centuries. " -- [He Zhiwu, Cop 223] (Chungking Express)
For me, many old songs I love are never out of date, even though they are not popular anymore. I think music from the 70s and 80s are so fascinating. There are many great artists and producers that I admire. To learn their thoughts and production, I decided to cover some songs. The second song, in this EP, I cover from Hiroshi Sato, in 1982’s "Awakening" Album - “Say Goodbye”. His music is mostly started from the synthesizer and the piano, combining western pop music and oriental style. In Awakening, he plays most of the instruments except guitar. This self producing ability inspired me so much, also like Mac Demarco and Prince. They are all my all-time favorite artists. "Say Goodbye" for me , it's a memorable song. I've heard of it before but I remembered my ex shared it with me. At the moment, I feel like we're very connected and I still think she is one of the people who has good taste in music. We didn't say goodbye in the end. I still regret that I didn't say goodbye face-to-face.
Listening to music makes me fall in love. Writing music lets me get over who I love.
