Quite Another Version of 向左走 向右走

向左走 向右走 is one of the more well known works of 几米. It was first published in 1999 and made famous a few years back by its screen adaption.

Listening to one of songs in the debut album of 蔡淳佳 released in 2000 titled 他和她, i cannot help but feel a sense of familiarity. Somehow, it seemed to describe the situation that the lead characters are in. They were meant for each other but even though they are living in the same building and just 3 windows away, they somehow managed to miss each other. Isn't that very 向左走 向右走? Well, the lyrics are just below, you decide for yourself. =)

他习惯把自己丢在热闹的场所

他以为这样可以掩饰掉落寞

她喜欢往这个城市最安静角落走

担心脆弱被人识破

他和她住同一栋楼

遗憾的是爱擦肩而过

他们孤独时候

都望着同一颗星球

他和她都在城市飘流

遗憾的是心无缘邂逅

他们彼此适合却无奈的错过

在人群中掩没

他渴望能有人分享夜晚和失落

她最怕独自面对黄昏和脆弱

其实他们彼此距离才两三个窗

不同的心一样寂寞
