光良 - 握你的手 [Guang Liang - Wo Ni De Shou]

Michael Wong (王光良; pinyin: Wang Guang Liang), born August 30, 1970, is a Malaysian Chinese singer and composer. He began his singing career in a duo with Victor Wong (品冠). The pair had attained notable success in Taiwan, but in a mutual agreement the two split in 2000. Guang Liang has released five solo albums, the third being his breakthrough album Fairy Tale.

This song -  握你的手 [translated as: holding on to your hand] is not as popular as his breakthrough songs like 第一次 [pinyin: Di Yi Ci/ translated: First Time] or 童话 [pinyin: Tong Hua/ translated: Fairy Tale]. What I like about it is the gradual ascent to climax - imagine eating a mango, each bite getting sweeter towards the core, something similar to 童话 [Fairy Tale] as well.

I thought it would also sound nice on the piano and so, it got recorded.

The original song was in G major. I decided to play it in my favourite key (C major). One special chord: the eleventh chord gave the song (and many other songs) a nice cadence towards the ending of the chorus part, resolving from Chord V¹¹ (G,F,A,C) to Chord I (C,E,G). Eleventh chords (and those 7th and 9th chords) are some of my favourites as they give a little clashing/colliding taste but still remain pleasing to the ears when done properly.

Lyrics
山顶的风凉的想钻进我内心
沉默是我们最近唯一的话题
看曾经亲密的爱慢慢像友谊
爱是流星　一坠落就不停
我们尝试让彼此差异能隐形
遗憾的是回避不能解决问题
当我疲倦的凝望妳憔悴表情
再不舍得　也该让你远离
握你的手坚持到最后一秒钟
哪怕爱要冰凉了　
至少让回忆是暖的
了解比爱难多了　
我们都尽力了
也许温柔是停止(再)挽留
握你的手　像耳语轻声说保重
让眼睛就算湿了　不只是痛也有感动
以前每一次挥手都为了再握手
但这一次是为了放手
