Comments:
This was written the night of April 1st, 2003. It was called Depression in the 1st place.
A feeling of, like I wanted to ask ''why?'' or ''why does one has to commit suicide''. I pictured that you see this spirit of the person somewhere around, and you so wanted to ask him why he's gone, or doesn't he know there're so many people who care for him still. Hence there is this ghostly synth sound in the song.
Eason picked this song quite early in 2004. Actually it was Hilary who heard it first and asked him to have a listen. He liked the key change and the style. We always talked about - this style of arrangement is what C.Y. does instead of oh this sounds very Faye Wong / Leslie Cheung styles - afterall, those Faye/Leslie songs were my songs/arrangements!
So it was not until January 2005 that we started planning on getting this into the studio.
Alvin asked me to change the working title, because he doesn't want to be reminded of the word ''Depression'' so I changed the working title to DPS.
Obviously, they didn't want to go for my original idea about talking to the dead, it's way to heavy. Originally, Eason called me, he was at Beijing at the time, he said he started writing some words for the song. I encouraged him to continue. Wyman was supposed to help him if he gets stuck.
But in the end, I think he just couldn't find the time to finish off what he wrote, so Wyman wrote the final lyrics.
At 1st, I was a little worried/confused, it's totally not what I was thinking of. But afterall, this is gonna be Eason's song, if he can perform and express this well, then it will be quite good.
Alvin & Eason did the vocals, I think, in Late February/early March. They were both ill on and off, and I think Eason wasn't sure about the vocals. I emailed Alvin and said, hey you guys gotta be confident and believe in what you're doing.
After I got the vocals, I added the vocoder. Not a lot of people use vocoders on medium/slow tempo songs these days. I thought it would enhance the mood a lot, and it kinda reminds me of some 70s songs when the vocoder was widely used.
Again, I am quite happy about the results. Again, I think Hong Kong needs more variety in songs/arrangements/productions.
Note: The original demo was in a different key.
To me, this demo will always be dedicated to Leslie |
