Since the very beginning of his career, Eason has been one of the favorites to lead the new generation of Cantopop. He has been described as a breath of fresh air in the HK music scene. Over the last ten years, Eason Chan emerged as the leading male singer of his generation, fulfilling his role as an innovator and a leader in the HK music scene, winning prestigious awards one after another. Eason Chan has also been successful in his work in the Mandopop scene. He has won numerous awards in both Mainland and Taiwan, most notably Taiwan's Golden Melody Award. "Admit It" was a another notable work of Eason Chan, which led to a nomination for Golden Melody Award's Best Male Singer; the award was ultimately won by Gary Chaw.

Eason Chan has been named by Chinese critics as the next God of Songs (歌神) after Jacky Cheung. However, Eason has more than once clarified that he wishes to build his own name instead, and not just be the successor of Jacky Cheung. There is a duet called 天下太平 sung by Chan and Jacky Cheung in the album Perfect Match by Albert Leung，Ronald Ng (伍樂城) released in April 2006. Chan and Cheung have collaborated on other occasions as well. They sang a duet of Cheung's 頭髮亂了 in a fundraising campaign for SARS victims in 2003.

Chan not only sings but also plays a variety of musical instrument including piano, violin, accordion, guitar and drums. He frequently showcases his musical talent by incorporating instruments into his live performances. Chan is also a song-writer who has written many songs, some included in his albums.

信心花舍

曲：Barry Chung
詞：林夕
編：Barry Chung／林晞

沒有花園後山　可給你遊覽
放棄做巨人　做插花之男

抵夜捱更　消耗無數花瓣
容貌未襯　形狀至少搶眼

* 我未計代價賣牡丹
　加印花送花被單
　不夠抵　送燭光晚餐
　愛令我自信如恆山　睡蓮在天山
　給你　摘一朵好襯衫

信心花舍　特殊為你開鋪
誰經過你面前都知道
鳴謝貼於花牌裡多土
額角亦印著天荒地老

為你編花成籃　花光了時間
放棄學做人　學插花消閒
花式眉彎　任由人客怎辦
平賣賤買　難道你不開眼

Repeat *

信心花舍　特殊為你開鋪
誰經過你面前都知道
鳴謝貼於花牌裡多土
為你　願托著沿路飛舞

信心花舍　特殊為你開鋪
誰經過你面前都知道

長夜清早　梅蘭菊竹
甚至自己都可送到

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 陳奕迅's song 信心花舍 tell the story of a man who has given up his aspirations of being a giant in his field, and instead has chosen to pursue a simpler life as a flower arranger. Despite the challenges he faces on this new path, he remains content with his choice and finds confidence in his ability to create beauty. He proudly runs a flower shop named "信心花舍" (Xin Xin Flower House), which he has opened specifically for the person he loves. The shop is adorned with signs of gratitude and hints of his dedication, with even the logo featuring the Chinese characters for "Heaven and Earth," signifying his commitment to his craft.

Throughout the song, the man emphasizes the sacrifices he has made for his love, including selling precious possessions to afford the flowers, and foregoing romantic dinners to provide candlelight dinners. He also talks about how creating flower arrangements has given him a sense of purpose that has made him confident like the mountains and at ease like the water lilies that he works with. He hopes that the person he loves will wear a flower he has arranged on their shirt so that they too can experience the beauty of the Xin Xin Flower House.
