Love, Now OST: "Hold This Hand" by Victor Wong

When I first heard this song in its entirety, my first thought was: "David and Jolin's Marry Me Today." How many ways can you say FOREVER in Chinese? As it turns out, a whole freaking lot.

Chlo-Meter:I love you like a love song, baby!

This song is written by Victor himself, on an uneventful afternoon tending to his muddled thoughts. Wishing for calm and peaceful life, he thought of church bells, and with that "eternal" thought in mind, he wrote this soothing song. This came as a surprise to the production studio because they were nearly done with the recording by then. (The impromptu ones are always the best, aren't they?)

Song Title: "執子之手" (Hold this hand) 
Composer: Victor Wong
Lyricist: Chen Mei (she's a poet. Kinda explains why this song has so many metaphors. Drowning in 'em.)
Arranged by: Wu Qing Long
Translated Lyrics:

Fortunately, the bells are willing to stay

Fortunately, you were willing...

Willing to put up with me

Fortunately, you were willing...

Willing to quietly wait for me

Fortunately, there's you

Waiting silently for me at the end 

Luckily, fireflies give an outlet to dreams

Luckily, the light lends late autumn a warm hand

Luckily, clouds gives the soul a sky

Luckily, meeting you made me realize that the universe...

 Is vast and endless

You looked at me and walked towards me

Your steps to my eternity 

Your heartbeat as an accompaniment as you fulfill... 

The lifelong dream

Hold my hand, leave everything to me

Remembering your eyes at this moment, 

This moment as we approach eternal

From now on...

 I have no need for anything else

For richer, for poorer

For better, for worse 

 No matter how long the stars will shine

Can't get enough of your love

I have no regrets

Hold my hand tight, hug me close

Close beside me, together forever

You shared with me heaven-sent blessings, 

You complete me

Hold my hand, leave everything to me

Your four seasons is my bright future

Let me complete you

I don't need anything else

Hold this hand, let's grow old together

Even though it may be just a fairytale

For life, for death

Tirelessly

As enduring as the universe

Chloe Says

The 40-year-old Victor (he's got quite the baby face, doesn't he?) has just got married early this year to his girlfriend of 5 years. Not surprisingly, this song is dedicated to his girlfriend (now wife), whom he had a long distance relationship with (because of his work he's constantly on the move).  

May you have a long and happy marriage filled with lil' ones, Victor!
