One Song a Day - All This Time 冷熱之間. Translation and song link below.
•
Three main inspirations: Tim Burton’s Big Fish, French classic La Vie En Rose, and the musical Cabaret.
Debating with yourself whether to fall in love, Maybe This Time in the musical Cabaret is such a classic, I took a spin from this song, wrote about making some precious moment last. The final touch was all because of Big Fish, the moment Ewan McGregor met the love of his life in the circuit - everything stopped in the air, he started to approach her. That’s it. I even tried to create that moment musically: towards the end of the song, there was this effected old violin solo echoing this idea, borrowing the line from La Vie En Rose...

All This Time
(Chet Lam)
•
Never thought I would be so lucky
bumping into you
I have found my life direction instantly
I knew it’s all cliche but I will not take it lightly
I will not lose it, my image never mattered more
•
Too close I would be too intimidated
Too far you might not notice my existence
I am even worried about my laughters being too much
All of a sudden our eyes caught each other
Everything in the world has stopped
What would I give to make this moment list as long as it could
•
My brain is about to lose it
My ego is protesting
I know I am thinking way too much
Caught in this moment
Would it be wrong?
I don’t care anymore, I just don’t want to miss a thing
•
All the ups and downs flashing across my mind
I am thinking even more
Caught in this moment
It only takes a second to make the decision
But I like you, this should be right
All this time, give it a try
I don’t care if it’s wrong

這首歌的緣起，是大學的時候跟一個劇社合作，創作一首關於遇上心上人感覺忐忑的歌；多年後，看到Tim Burton的Big Fish，其中一幕是男主角在馬戲團裡碰上一生至愛，畫面一切暫停，他卻慢慢走向她，就是那種感覺了，於是我改完又改，變成自己的內心掙扎；歌曲最後一段的小提琴獨奏，旋律是La Vie En Rose的變奏。有聽眾朋友在歌裡找到力量去追求喜歡的人，甚至拿來當婚禮的新人進場曲；有時，得到之前的剎那忐忑是全劇高峰，但我更願意相信，揭開新一頁，後續會越來越精彩。

冷熱之間
（曲詞：林一峰）
•
永未預計得到 有幸能遇上你
不得了 瞬間找到方向
我沒掉以輕心 縱是古老劇情
絕不可失禮 顧及形象
•
太近又會心瘋 遠亦難被察覺
開心笑 也擔心太誇張
意外視線雙觸 世上一切暫停
願將這一剎 盡量延長
•
理智快亂了 自尊心交錯
忐忑中想得太多
冷靜熱切之間 我是否會做錯
不管了 不想錯過
•
過去快樂遺憾匆匆閃過
忐忑中想得更多
冷靜熱切之間 決定一秒便過
喜歡你 總不會錯
儘管一試 錯又如何
