Music career
Hebe appeared on Taiwanese television before she became a celebrity, when she was a 16 years old on Jacky Wu's "Guess Guess Guess" show, where she showed her ability to play the flute. On 8 August 2000, HIM International Music held a "Universal 2000 Talent and Beauty Girl Contest" in search of new artists to be signed onto their label. The staff of the TV show "Cruel Stage" encouraged Tien to participate in this televised competition. The contest had about 1,000 contestants, and after several rounds of competition, seven contestants remained for the final round. In the first round, Tien's voice began to crack while singing Return Home. As a result, she decided to sing in a lower key in the final round, choosing Singaporean singer Kit Chan's Loving You (喜歡你, Xi Huan Ni). However, because she was unfamiliar with the song, about ten seconds of the final lyrics went unsung. Following the competition, the Taiwanese record company gave all seven contestants an audition. The show's manager appreciated her straightforward personality and powerful vocals. As a result, Hebe was invited to become a member of S.H.E, with Selina Jen and Ella Chen, and was signed under the Taiwanese record label HIM International Music.
Hebe released her debut solo Mandopop album, "To Hebe", on 3 September 2010, while S.H.E still remains as a band without disbanding. The tracks, "寂寞寂寞就好" (Its OK to be lonely) and "Love?" are listed at number 11 and 35 respectively on Hit Fm Taiwan's Hit Fm Annual Top 100 Singles Chart (Hit-Fm年度百首單曲) for 2010.
懸日
田馥甄 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
淡去的光陰 是我的戰場
重遇在熱絡的市集
我很喜歡你的她
多配你呀
是真的開心 不是在作假
沒有煙硝 互動健康
也讓你看看我的他
不介意的話
落下 同一顆太陽
有什麼特別的嗎
你還不是一樣
溫暖卻停在遠方
對峙著不可能的愛情
也該像懸日那樣
讓它落下
她刻意放空自己
想留點時間讓我們
再說說話
我像在愚弄自己
演哪齣破綻百出的
心胸寬大
你不忘調侃自己
不夠好卻總是有人
為你牽掛
我又被回憶波及
心怎會這樣不強壯
落下 同一顆太陽
有什麼特別的嗎
你還不是一樣
溫暖卻停在遠方
對峙著不可能的愛情
也該像懸日那樣
讓它落下
讓它落下
讓我放下
我沒放下
我想放下
The lyrics to 田馥甄's song 懸日 explore the complexities of love and the struggle to move on from a past relationship. The opening lines "黃昏宣告著 今天已死亡" (Dusk announces the death of today) set the tone for the song, evoking a sense of finality and loss. The singer reflects on the passing of time and the toll it has taken on her, stating that "淡去的光陰 是我的戰場" (Fading time is my battlefield).
The song takes a more hopeful turn when the singer runs into an old flame and his new girlfriend at a bustling market. She admits to liking his new partner, but also shows him pictures of her own significant other. The chorus, "落下 同一顆太陽 有什麼特別的嗎 你還不是一樣 溫暖卻停在遠方 對峙著不可能的愛情 也該像懸日那樣 讓它落下" (The same sun sets, what's so special about it? You're no different, warm but far away. Like the setting sun, this impossible love should also fall). The singer acknowledges the impossibility of their relationship and urges both parties to let go and move on.
Overall, the lyrics to 懸日 explore themes of nostalgia, love, and the inevitability of change. The song encourages listeners to accept the passing of time and the end of relationships, even if they were once important and cherished.
