A Place Like This by Arden Cho

Lyrics to A Place Like This by Arden Cho

You said it wouldn’t be,
a pain that I could bear
but I chased the world,
like a blinded child, full of hopeless dreams
I reached out for a hand,
was left with thorns to pull
A hollow cave in my heart, without a void to fill, dead before a fight

(chorus)
Free me from this place
that I can’t escape, cut me lose and let me soar
Free me from this place
I wanna breathe again, find a reason left to live

I don’t wanna live in a place like this (x2)
In a world so cruel, with ruthless souls
that’ll tear you apart, leave you out in the alley to die

(chorus)

Save me from this place, save my soul, save me (x2)

Lyrics to Poor Boy by Emilio Basa

If I was a bird I’d swim in a lake
If I was a plane I’d fly on the highway
If I was a fish I’d fly in the trees
Oh so high no one would bother me

Cause I’m just a poor boy and I ain’t done no wrong
No I’m just a poor boy no one knows my song
I’m just a poor boy

If I was a snake I’d walk many miles
If I was a car I’d sail the Nile
If I was a clock I would freeze time
If I was rich, I wouldn’t spend a dime
If I was king, I’d run and hide

Cause I’m just a poor boy and I ain’t done no wrong
No I’m just a poor boy no one knows my song
I’m just a poor boy
No I’m just a
no I’m just a poor boy x2
I’m just a poor boy

Remember that music video that Wong Fu Productions went out to shoot Taiwan for Wang Leehom? It’s just been released and exploding internationally. Wong Fu Productions does what they do best with relationship based storylines. Asian American international pop star Wang Leehom gets the Wong Fu Productions treatment. The central item in the video is a clock representing the passage of time in the past and the present through the ups and downs of relationships. Although the song is in Mandarin, you you still understand the story by watching the video. Wang Leehom reflects on a relationship he just can’t forget. He reminisces about how they met, the happy times, and the breakup. Then one day, he sees the girl again in a coffee shop. How will he approach the situation? Is he thinking will she’ll be by my side or it won’t even start?

Last week, channelAPA.com talked to Wong Fu Productions about ISA, Leehom Wang, music videos, & more. Props to Wong Fu Productions expanding their music video reach to a bigger international audience. BTW – the guys are back in Asia in Seoul, Korea presenting their short Shell.

Lyrics for Still In Love With You by Wang Leehom

一閃一閃亮晶晶
留下歲月的痕跡
我的世界的中心
依然還是你

一年一年又一年
飛逝僅在一轉眼
唯一永遠不改變
是不停地改變

我不像從前的自己
你也有點不像你
但在我眼中你的笑
依然的美麗

日子只能往前走
一個方向順時鐘
不知道還有多久
所以要讓你懂我依然愛你 就是 唯一的退路
我依然珍惜 時時刻刻的幸福
你每個呼吸 每一個動作 每個表情
到最後 一定會
依然愛你

我依然愛你 或許是 命中注定
多年之後 任何人都無法代替
那些時光是我這一輩子最美好的
那些回憶 依然無法忘記

我依然愛你 就是 唯一的退路
我依然珍惜 時時刻刻的幸福
你每個呼吸 每一個動作 每個表情
到最後 一定會
依然愛你

你每個呼吸 每一個動作 每個表情
到永遠 一定會
依然愛你

English translation of lyrics

A flash a twinkle of a star
Traces our time together
Yet the center of my world
Still is you

A year a year and yet another
Time flies by with a blink of an eye
The only thing that never changes
Is constant change

I’m not how I was before
You’re not like you were either
But your smile in my eyes
Is still beautiful as ever

Time only moves forward
The clock only turns one way- clockwise
Don’t know how long we have left
So I want you to understand

I still love you, the only path I walk
I still cherish every minute, every moment of happiness
Your every breath, every movement, every expression
Till the very end, I will always
Still love you

I still love you, maybe it’s fate
After many years, no one can replace you
Those times together were the best times of my life
How can I forget all those memories

I still love you, the only path I walk
I still cherish every minute, every moment of happiness
Your every breath, every movement, every expression
Till the very end, I will always
Still love you
I will still love you in the next life time

Your every breath, every movement, every expression
Forever, I will… still love you
