As we welcome the next decade, here's my list of my yearly favourite songs of the first decade of the new millennium.
2000 - This I promise you by *N-Sync
The very heydays of the boyband era, in a time when I tend to listen to english pop more than chinese pop... And this song will always be one of my wedding songs.
2001 - All or Nothing by O-Town
Remember this reality TV programme "Making the band" ? This boyband emerged from this show but unfortunately, All or Nothing was being their one hit wonder. O-Town disbanded after their 2nd album in 2003, however this one particular hit did play on my mp3 player at times.
2002 - 安静(Silence) by 周杰伦(Jay Chou)
From the early days of this talented and versatile Asian superstar's career, it was at the time that I started to listen to chinese music, thanks to him. While it was that year that I started to listen many of his songs, this particular KTV chart topper was the most favourite among his songs back then.
2003 - 只有我(Only me) by Energy
It was my darkest year of the decade and this song truly accompanied my life. Even until now when I had new fresh of struggles, this song is one song which I will hit on my player. By the way, this particular song was one of the last for a 5-member Energy. Toro left the band the very same year.
2004 - May I love you by 张智成(Z Chen)
Typical chart-topper in KTVs... This song had always somehow related to my feelings, my life.
"Love you love you... May I love you, tell me what to do?"
2005 - 枫(Maple) by Jay Chou
Its MV was the first part of a storyline. (The second part of the story was the MV of 刘耕宏's 彩虹天堂) Another one in the KTV picklist back then when I started go singing more often...
2006 - 北极星的眼泪(Tears of the polaris) by 张栋梁(Nicholas Teo)
One of the all-time hits in my charts... Another song which accompanied my later days in a somehow-disappointing 2006. Well, this song well suited to the current friendship issues I have now.
"明天 或许来不及变, 但曾经走过的昨天越来越远... 北极星的眼泪 说不出的想念, 原来我们活在两个世界..."
2007 - 一个人(One person) by 蔡依林(Jolin Tsai)
One good hit by Jolin Tsai, while there are quite a number of nice songs such as Mistakes after mistakes（错了再错）, I don't know how to sing(我不会唱歌) and I am not compatible(我不配) by Nicholas Teo, Show Luo Zhi Xiang and Jay Chou respectively...
2008 - 小丑鱼(Little clown fish) by 罗志祥(Show Luo)
This was a old song considering it was being released in 2004 rather than 2008, yet it's another song that spells my times in the pursue of love. This song portraits the struggles of a guy when he's trying to hold on his feelings for a girl, while continuing to build the friendships.
"lady lady one more try, 再试着了解我的爱...发不出声音的感慨, 选择做朋友的无奈..."
2009 - 爱在记忆中找你(Love in the memory searching for you) by 林峰(Raymond Lam)
Yes...another outdated song considering it was released in 2007 as the sub theme song of TVB drama's The drive of life(岁月风云), it was the only cantonese song in the top 10 list. While because of this song that I started to listen more from Raymond Lam as well as other Hong Kong artistes, it definitely portraits yet another relationship/friendship struggles in my life this year. Of course, this issue was the biggest mistakes I had learnt this year... Something which things will never be the same again.
"前事最怕有人提起, 就算怎么伸尽手臂, 我们亦有一些距离..."
