「給晴晴：媽媽不想你經歷我所走過的彎路、再捱過我吃的苦……」
“I found very best in me because of you
One day I'll try to be a mom as great as you”
遙送「回信」給天上母親 憑歌寄意唱出最真摰情感
一張泛黃的信紙，伴隨著叫人掛念又窩心的筆跡，是歌曲《Fifth of May》誕生的起端。以新生代音樂人身份再度回歸的Robynn(葉晴晴），推出個人第二支深情之作，而今次所刻劃出的情感，源自於一份平凡卻教人動容的母愛。
歌名《Fifth of May》，5月5日正是代表著Robynn一個極其重視的日子——母親的生日。Robynn的媽媽於多年前罹癌病逝，雖無緣欣賞到女兒在出道後的舞台，但她卻一直留在Robynn的心中，無盡地給予Robynn力量與信心。而每逢5月5日，Robynn都會抽空回到她從小成長的家，感受與媽媽擁有共同回憶的地方。在一次的巧合之下，她找到了一封未曾翻閱的信，是母親在Robynn考進大學之時所書寫的。信中的內容除了讓Robynn憶記起昔日的點滴，亦被那份來自母親的憂心所感動，促使Robynn更想以媽媽作為榜樣，希望有朝一日能成為她一樣好的母親。
《Fifth of May》繼續由Robynn包辦曲詞創作，一字一句都飽含著她最真實的情感，深信在天上的媽媽也能夠收到這封「回信」。歌曲以清脆厚實的木結他聲作主軸，隨後編曲層次漸見豐富，搭配Robynn細膩的演繹更顯箇中張力。透過唱出自身所經歷那份堅定不移的母愛，Robynn希望也能同樣地把這份情感傳遞到聽眾的內心深處，也為世上每一位偉大的母親送上暖意。
MV加入親身經歷
Robynn出道9年,原本準備以個人歌手姿態回歸樂壇,驚喜迎來了天賜「禮物」，新的身份亦賦予了這首歌多一層的意義。懷胎四月拍攝了MV，與攝製隊冒熱同行為取靚景,雖然對懷孕中的她是一大挑戰,但她非常感激MV導演張蚊把兩首歌的MV連貫中有不同故事, 《Fifth of May》延續首部曲《Lost Forever》, 透過走訪小女孩曾身處的各個場景，回憶起她昔日的成長片段。而導演張蚊在創作整個故事的同時，亦巧妙地加入了兩個Robynn的親身經歷，分別是母親因癌病逝世，以及Robynn重回舊居偶然地找到一封母親寫給她封存多年從未寄出的信。透過這些細微的連繫，張蚊希望能進一步呈現出Robynn在寫這首時歌的真實心境，讓觀眾更能細味到箇中的感動,遙送「回信」給天上的母親。

Something 'bout the light breeze
on the Fifth of May
Takes me back to the bedroom
where I was raised
With the out of tune piano
that mended all my heartbreaks
I wrote my first songs ever here
while you just listened as I played
Nostalgia trickles down my face
onto your letter for me before you went away
it said...
"When I was young like you
I was tough like you
and I fought like you
but I hope it's easier for you;
I wasn’t as loved as a daughter
But as a mother oh I knew
No matter what I’d save the very best for you”
Dad hair is thinner and greyer by the day
But rest assured he’s healthy and in a happy state
Our house is so old
though he never wants to renovate
But I guess it’s great the place has
always stayed the same
Suddenly nostalgia trickles down my face
And on the fifth of May I thought of what you used to say
"When I was young like you
I was tough like you
and I fought like you
but I hope it's easier for you;
I wasn't as loved as a daughter
But as a mother oh I knew
No matter what I’d save the very best for you”
Even though you’re not here anymore
Empty house dusty frames rusty doors
Every year on this birthday of yours
I feel you here beside me
When you were young like me
You were tough for me
And you fought for me
And it wasn’t as easy as can be
You loved both your daughters
And there is one thing that holds true
I found very best in me because of you
And in your final weeks
You were tough as can be
and you fought for you
Against all the pain you went through
With every changing chapter
You’re still my rock my strength my truth
I found very best in me because of you
One day I'll try to be a mom as great as you
