This is an incomplete album, I'm still writing/producing new songs for it. Some of the songs were written at the end of 2007 and produced in 2008. Initially I'd like to write more environmental awareness songs, but still ended up with a lot of love songs, as usual...

Save Him

(2008)
Lyrics by Ifan
Music by Ifan
Arranged by Ifan
Performed by Ifan
English Rock

{Download Demo}

[VERSE#1]
Now that no one disagrees, That we've been killing him softly.
Some say it's too late as it seems,
Some say it's time to do something.
To save him from, our own selfishness, So that he can live.
[CHORUS#1]
Our greed, will kill the planet.
Our kids, won't see the green green, grass.
And the sky, will be grey or black.
Perhaps, we should help him survive.
[VERSE#2]
We trash, we waste, we damage.
Every piece of natural beauty.
He fights, he cries, he will die,
From the poison that we gave him.
If we can stop from torturing him, Maybe he will live.
[CHORUS#2]
Our feet, step on his feelings. Our sins, deprive his dignity.
This planet, is one and only. Can we, try to save him from...

{Comments} I've been wanting to write a song on environmental awareness - I hope by having people listen to it and read the lyrics, we can all be more kind to the environment.

Another Day

[Verse#1]
For all that you said, For all that you make me regret
All of your hate whispered into my head
Drive me insane, All that you said
All of the pain that you gave, For all that I take
When you lie to my face I understand
[Chorus]
All that you said, How could I just forget
I've been played like a game, Let the rain spit on my face
All that you said, How could I just forget
How your words slap my face
Or will I stay for just another day
[Verse#2]
For all that you pretend, All of the shame that you gave
For all that I take, When you stab on my chest
I bleed to death

{Comments} This is the 2nd song of my English Rock song series...

Love is so cruel,

like the water in the rapid river,

The kiss that you gave me before we break apart,

Cut off any bit of relationship between you and I.

{Comments} This song describes a failing love story ended with a kiss on the Wu-Jiang river. It has the same music composition as "SAVE HIM".

Crossroads

(2008)

Lyrics by Shan-Yu Yang
Music by Ifan
Arranged by Ifan
Performed by Ifan
Chinese Pop

{Download Demo}

After loving you, I lost freedom
Love was like an invisible chain

After leaving you, I lost myself
Life became meaningless crossroads

Memory sinks in front of my eyes
And the old poetry, can't be read again

Those old scenes, I neglect to see

{Comments} Another collaboration song, it talks about someone walking down the street, and came to the crossroads that had so much memory of a forgotten love story.

Heartbeat

(written in 2000)

Lyrics by Ifan
Music by Ifan
Arranged by Ifan
Performed by Ifan
Chinese Pop

{Download Demo}

All of a sudden, I can't feel my heartbeat
As minutes and seconds are lost through time
I don't want to argue with reality anymore
This feeling that I get, it's not something you'd understand
Life is full of heartache
But the reasons, aren't something I'd want to share
 

{Comments} I actually wrote this song about 8 years ago, now with better music tools, I was able to remake, rerecord the track!

Memory

(2008)

Lyrics by Ifan
Music by Ifan
Arranged by Ifan
Performed by Ifan
Chinese Pop

{Download Demo}

I prayed in the blazing wind
Wanting to bring back your smile
But your shadow disappears at the corner
Taking away our memory

How to give you a hug
So that you'd really feel me
Feel my regrets
And how I'd want to get hold of
Your scent, once again

{Comments} Initially I was looking for someone to write the lyrics for me, but I also didn't want my own lyrics to go to waste, therefore ultimately went with my own writing.

Can't Let Go

(2008)

Lyrics by Enid Lee
Music by Ifan
Arranged by Ifan
Performed by Ifan
Chinese Pop

{Download Demo}

{Rock Instrumental}

{Piano Instrumental}

You said that you've got a lot to say,
But you can't say it,
So I've made up my mind, not to say anything.

"Once upon a time, there was someone
who loved you for so long"
The words of the song touched me so deeply...

{Comments} The first collaboration between me and Enid, making use of a famous line from a popular song by Jay Chou.

Ordinary

(2008)

Lyrics by Eric Yeh
Music by Ifan
Arranged by Ifan
Performed by Ifan
Chinese Pop

{Download Demo}

{Instrumental}

A lonely boat, parks at an ordinary port
Speaking of an ordinary story
Then it sails away silently
In the ordinary, there is a bit of unordinary
Being ordinary itself, is being unordinary

My life, is it so ordinary?
Being so ordinary, who would stand by me?
When I'm not in a good mood
I'm just an ordinary boat
Will I park, at an ordinary port

{Comments} My first collaboration with Eric. His original lyrics was very poetic, surrounding the word 'ordinary'. I tried to match the 'out of the ordinary' lyrics with a simple arrangement, and came up with this version of the song. Perhaps you also had the same doubts in yourself...
This is the last song that I produced in California, USA, 2008-3-20.

Accelerate

(2008)

Lyrics by Ifan
Music by Ifan

Performed by Ifan
English Pop

{Download Demo}

[VERSE-1]
Blazing sun is looking over my shoulders,
I gotta do something outrageous.
Time to pace myself, acceleration starts,
All the clocks hold their arms for me.
[CHORUS-1]
Accelerate, Life can be so boring.
You gotta break away, from all the big mistakes!
Accelerate, stop all your whining.
Forget all the complaints, remember all the best moments,
don't forget, how to play, don't be afraid, time to accelerate!
[VERSE-2]
Now they are, firing thunders in my ears,
How can I do, something courageous.
Time to be myself, acceleration starts,
All I do is, sprint for my dreams!
[CHORUS-2]
Accelerate, Life can be frustrating.
You gotta run away, from all the lousy days!
Accelerate, stop all your whining,
Don't let the others wait, it's time to celebrate!
For your, own good.
[CHORUS-3]
Accelerate, life can be so tiring.
You gotta try your best, so there is nothing to regret.
Accelerate, stop all the fighting.
At the end of the day, put a smile on your face, say yeah!
Let us pray, for a day, free from terror,
Then we can celebrate!

One more inspirational song from me. Hopefully you can read between the words ;-) there are many hidden meaning that might just help you get through the toughest days of your life!

Love of My Life

(2008)

Lyrics by Ifan
Music by Ifan
Arranged by Ifan
Performed by Ifan
Chinese Pop

{Download Demo}

{Instrumental}

[VERSE-1]
When the story began,
The day we first met, like yesterday;
I was so afraid,
If you disappear from my vision.
So I set out to captivate you,
With my heart and soul;
Now that you are too addicted to this true love.

[CHORUS]
You are the love of my life,
There's nothing to deny;
I can't live without you, breath without you,
Being by my side.
You are the love of my life,
There's reason to survive;
I can't smile without you, or cry without you,
Being on my mind, all the time.

[VERSE-2]
You'd better believe life is like a dream,
Coz I’m ready,
To start something new for me and for you,
Love to be proved.
So I set out to captivate you,
With my heart and soul;
Blessings from the ones who witness our true love.

[BRIDGE]
Everyday, every night, I desire for your smile;
If you go I would cry, coz you are my sunlight.

A song for the love of my own life, Sophia. just to show how important she is to me~!
