Janice is emerging as one of the new singers in Hong Kong and Asia. Her music style is a mixture of Cantopop, Jazz and R&B. She performs her songs in English, Cantonese and Mandarin and will be performing songs in Korean in the near future.
Before becoming an artist herself, Janice had always enjoyed singing. Her voice came to the attention of renowned producer Mark Lui by chance when she recorded the backing vocals for one of mega star Leon Lai's songs in 2004. Janice obviously left a favourable impression on Lui, as upon Lui's stumbling across her voice he informed Leon, who in turn decided to offer Janice a contract with AMusic (東亞唱片), a newly-formed record label where both Leon Lai and Mark Lui were major investors (Leon transferred himself to Amusic as well). As a result Janice became the first newcomer to sign for AMusic in 2004.
Belonging to the same music label as Leon Lai, Janice first caught the media's attention days after Christmas of 2004 by covering in English one of Leon's essential tunes "Unspoken Words of Deep Feelings" (情深說話未曾講) on radio. The cover song quickly become a hit. Some fans initially thought it was an overseas singer who was covering one of Leon's classic hits, but were surprised to find out the singer was an unknown Hong Kong rookie. Since it was Christmas in Hong Kong at the time, Janice's first song was swiftly followed by a Christmas version of another Leon Lai cover "不可一世" (this time in Cantonese). The Cantonese cover of "Unspoken Words of Deep Feelings" (情深說話未曾講) was aired on radio in Spring 2005 for the first time. She learned English when she was in the United States.
By April 2005, Janice had become known as a mysterious singer who sung several cover versions of Leon Lai's songs, but whose face has never been shown in public. After roughly six months of radio publicity and building public anticipation, her face was finally unveiled when her debut album "Day & Night" was released on 13 April 2005.
On 25 November of the same year, Janice released her second album "My Love", a rarity for a newcomer in Hong Hong's music industry.
In mid-December of 2005 Janice was nominated by Commercial Radio 2 for the 2005 Hong Kong Music Awards Best Female Singer, which results are due out on Jan 1, 2006. On 1 January 2006, Janice was awarded by Commercial Radio Hong Kong (CRHK) the Gold prize for 2005 Best Female Newcomer., to the delight of her fans and family.
街燈晚餐
衛蘭 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
現在就是再癡纏不等於一起過活不怕捱
用微笑 回覆這份疑惑
我不開心也只想你開解 你懂得怎關懷
愛就愛 永遠也會怕失敗
但是為著怕輸違反心中所想有甚麼痛快
別奇怪 情感也是成就
難道是為了安置未來才愛你
誰要計算過安享晚福便一起
說到底 我暫時受不起
愛別忘麵包那些道理
只想去成全自己
誰活著未靠感覺做人才可悲
陪你到處吃街燈晚餐極歡喜
挽你手 也只因想挽手
決不因世俗看得起你
若笑著吃苦也餓不死
慶幸我 與你去到這境地
未問現實會否容許這種天真繼續不放棄
遇著你 無須接受逃避
如花草總要愛光線空氣 人又如何自欺
難道是為了安置未來才愛你
誰要計算過安享晚福便一起
說到底 我暫時受不起
愛別忘麵包那些道理
只想去成全自己
誰活著未靠感覺做人才可悲
陪你到處吃街燈晚餐極歡喜
挽你手 也只因想挽手
決不因世俗看得起你
若笑著吃苦也餓不死
苦與樂 只為你
不會在乎被恭喜
也許只講理想不容易
如若有你背影總有落腳地
難道是為了安置未來才愛你
誰要計算過安享晚福便一起
說到底 我暫時受不起
愛別忘麵包那些道理
只想去成全自己
誰活著未靠感覺做人才可悲
陪你到處吃街燈晚餐極歡喜
挽你手 也只因想挽手
決不因世俗看得起你
若笑著吃苦也餓不死
The song "街燈晚餐" by 衛蘭 is a reflection on love and relationships. The first verse highlights how people tend to label others by their behavior without really understanding them. The lyrics say that just because someone acts childish, it doesn't necessarily mean they are not capable of growing up. The chorus emphasizes that love is about taking risks, even though those risks may lead to failure. The lyrics suggest that focusing too much on avoiding failure is not a good way to live life.
The second verse is about accepting the imperfections of a relationship. The lyrics suggest that relationships are a journey, and it's important to enjoy the ride rather than worrying about the destination. The lines "如不可跟你逛想逛的街 人又談何愉快" means that it's pointless to be in a relationship with someone who does not share your interests that make you happy, as relationships are supposed to bring joy and fulfillment.
The bridge highlights the message of the song: it's important to have love, but not at the cost of forgetting the basics of life. The lyrics say: "愛別忘麵包那些道理", which translates to "Don't forget the basics of life, even if you're in love." It is important to focus on fulfilling one's own aspirations rather than just sacrificing them for the sake of the relationship.
