眼泪是胶囊

2011-01-13T21:33:00.001-08:00

五岁时被外婆逮到乱翻橱柜
我偷糖不成却发掘神秘滋味
第一次被处罚才懂那是泪水
眼泪咸得从此不敢再顶嘴

长智后仍有不少事有待学会
比如对该走的人别热情说喂
复原靠的是盐水而不是药水
眼泪排在一起是颗完整心扉

泪不管是为谁
是我能献给所爱的人真心的行为
泪在身体轮回
双眼更尖锐才看懂宇宙缺陷美

有人叫我爱哭鬼爱用哭示威
却不明白那都是感情的精髓
不在乎怎有惭愧心动和气馁
眼泪不是盔甲是回忆积累

哪天在天上若有重逢的机会
我会说外婆错了泪不止伤悲
而是既然拥抱生命就不后悔
眼泪是个胶囊我疗伤的必备

Hey Friends of Ngak and HYR! October 11 6-9pm at Neverland - Ngak's MV Shoot. Free?

2010-09-28T02:09:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys!

I'm looking for friends =D in the MV for Ngak's (FM Artiste) Music Video shoot, it's a theme song written by Xiaohan and me for a movement to inspire young people to come into the music industry.

And Ngak will be the cover-boy for this movement, sparked by Guinness Stout to try raise awareness to the young people to follow their dream. So of course there will be Guinness around that day to make us comfortably high to show support to the AMPs in the MV shoot! Coz if U dont feel good, we the band, won't look good ;)

Jim, Xiaohan and me are also roped in as mentors.

I want ALL kinds of people, not just the glamorous people, everyone is welcome, young and old, tall and short, skinny and plump and everything in between =D and I will try my best to shoot everyone!
There wont be biasness based on your physical appearance in this MV. What I wana capture, is having a good time, a bunch of friends supporting the local industry together!

This movement is to inspire our next generation of budding talents to come together, rise together to join the creative industry. No obligations, but I would hope those of U people who are free that day, might wana consider letting down all commercial politics and conflict of interest with other music related companies, because I personally dont think it sets a good example, instead I feel we shld all come together because we all can learn something from one another =D

If so many producers and musicians from competing companies didnt help me when I 1st started out in Taiwan, I wouldnt have today. So I dont totally wont mind if artistes from other labels or students from other music schools come in and join the fun too! =D

There will be no make up crew for friends, come as U are, as a friend, as I waaaannnttt you to be ;)

those who can make it please confirmed attendance? Support lah if U free hor? thanks!

Location: Neverland
Time: 6-9pm
Date: Oct 11

RSVP on a FIRST COME FIRST SERVE basis...

To confirm your attendance, Please reply to Kenny at equalizor31@gmail.com and he will compile your names up! thanks!

受保護
曲：龔芝怡
詞：小寒

心疼你一臉無能為力
你最不擅長演戲
反讓我更愛你
　
心領了你的小心翼翼
是怕我會委屈
傻瓜別怪自己

有你深愛過的我
有甚麼事談不妥
乖聽我說
過你要的生活

我們其中一個幸福
好過兩人都不知足
你懂我最愛哭
眼淚並不表示我怕孤獨

這一刻最大的幸福
是錯下去前說不
分離不苦這不算苦
不要想著彌補
我不是個孩子
無須再受保護

別以為我的心像瓷器
心碎並不是委屈
是成長的必須

別小看這一路的回憶
它會開成感激
給我存在意義

有你深愛過的我
有甚麼事談不妥
乖聽我說
過你要的生活

我們其中一個幸福
好過兩人都不知足
你懂我最愛哭
眼淚並不表示我很無助

這一刻最大的幸福
是錯下去前說不
分離不苦這不算苦
不要感觸
不要反覆不要反顧
不要愛她吞吞吐吐
女生最恨戀人還想保護
上一段追逐

我們其中一個幸福
好過兩人都不知足
你懂我最愛哭
眼淚並不表示我很無助

這一刻最大的幸福
是錯下去前說不
分離不苦這不算苦
不要想著彌補
我不是個孩子
無須再受保護
我因為愛了你無須再受保護

齐天音乐“乖宝宝/ 邻家男孩-伍家辉”进军台湾市场

2009-10-14T22:46:00.001-07:00

签约台湾滚石唱片公司
在新马发片第1张专辑《虽然我愿意》一年半，伍家辉这匹千里马，终于签约台湾滚石唱片，落实了到台湾发片的音乐梦想。齐天音乐在本地滚石唱片总经理严光华的穿针引线下，与台湾滚石总公司达成协议，将家辉签为旗下歌手，成为纵贯线、曹格、卓文萱等人的师弟。《虽然我愿意》将于今年11月登入宝岛。

创作与歌唱才华备受台湾滚石唱片公司赞赏
伍家辉自大学毕业后为不少的大牌歌手（如：孙燕姿、张学友、黎明、莫文蔚等）写了许多脍炙人口的好歌。被齐天音乐发掘后所发行的创作专辑《虽然我愿意》也于去年与今年初，让家辉在新马两地的乐坛受到很大的肯定。他总共荣获了4 大奖项 –“优秀新人奖”（新加坡金曲奖2008）、“E乐最佳本地作曲新加坡：虽然我愿意”（E乐大赏2009）， “新人推荐奖-银奖”（马来西亚娱协奖2008）和“十大原创歌曲奖（国际组）-〈雖然我願意〉” （马来西亚娱协奖2008）。这些奖项引起了滚石唱片的注意，看中了家辉的潜力，认为他是块可造之材，因此决定把他签下，欲在在大中华地区栽培他，让他的音乐能传遍大江南北，在有华人居住的地发扬光大。

曾与其他台湾经纪公司商洽失败
亮眼的成绩其实不止引起滚石唱片的瞩目，去年也确实有过一些唱片向齐天音乐表示对伍家辉感兴趣。齐天音乐在选择大中华地区发展合作对象时非常谨慎，也非常严厉。签约的首要条件便是要可靠，并且对家辉的才华要达到同识。碍于唱片销量的下滑再加上金融风暴席卷全球，商洽和发片计划一直没有落成。尽管不少合作机会都插身而过，齐天音乐士气并不因此受到影响，坚信一定会找到伯乐。这个人就是新加坡滚石唱片总经理“严光华”先生。

凭一曲决定、签下伍家辉
严光华看到齐天音乐制作班底对音乐的认真贡献，公司老板与员工们群体的工作精神加上家辉的才华，便飞到台湾向总公司推荐合作计划。台湾滚石唱片的段老板及企划团队在聆听了伍家辉《虽然我愿意》专辑的第一个音轨〈雖然我願意〉之后，便被家辉独特音质吸引，马上二话不说，决定签约！
正当其他本地歌手都连连失去到台湾发展的机会之时，齐天音乐能有幸与一家尊重原创歌曲的唱片公司联手合作，是何等地幸运。

感恩之心
伍家辉非常感激有这个难得的机会成为滚石家族的一份子，并且希望能和滚石的合作会插出不同的火花，把自己的音乐和表演方式带到另一个层次，呈现给所有爱戴他的歌迷朋友们。
齐天音乐的2位老板黃韵仁和小寒能把爱将交给一向来很支持创作歌手发片的滚石唱片手里，都感到开心和欣慰。3人的恩师：鼎鼎大名“音乐教父”李宗盛大哥,就是台湾滚石唱片的开国功臣之一。黃韵仁和小寒将他们今天在乐坛的成就，归功于李宗盛大哥当年给予他们的机会。他们俩在音乐上的另一“伯乐”周华健也在滚石唱片。因此他们俩非常坚信这次的合作将会是在音乐上绝配的组合，并放心把家辉的唱片和艺人的海外经纪约交给滚石唱片全权规划。
