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.
明年今日
陳奕迅 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
若這一束吊燈傾瀉下來 或者我已不會存在
即使你不愛 亦不需要分開
若這一刻我竟嚴重癡呆 跟本不需要被愛
永遠在床上發夢 餘生都不會再悲哀
例如學會 承受失戀
明年今日 別要再失戀 床褥都改變 如果有幸會面
或在同伴新婚的盛宴 惶惑地等待你出現
明年今日 未見你一年 誰捨得改變 離開你六十年
但願能認得出你的子女 臨別亦聽得到你講再見
Repeat ＊
明年今日 未見你一年 床褥都改變 如果有幸會面
或在同伴新婚的盛宴 惶惑地等待你出現
明年今日 別了你一年 誰捨得改變 離開你六十年
但願能認得出你的子女 臨別亦聽得到你講再見
在有生的瞬間能遇到你 竟花光所有運氣
到這日才發現 曾呼吸過空氣
The song 明年今日 by 陳奕迅 expresses the desire to never experience heartbreak again. The opening lines paint a gloomy picture of the singer's state of mind, stating that if he were to die or if everything he owns were to fall on top of him, he would not need to separate from his lover, as he would already be gone. He then goes on to express his desire to learn to deal with heartbreak, to be stronger and more resilient, and to not lose hope that he will one day find love again. The chorus reinforces this sentiment, with the singer hoping that when he sees his lover again, his bed will have changed, but his heart will have stayed the same. He hopes that they will recognize each other's children and that they will be able to say goodbye to each other at the end of their lives.
The lyrics of the song are deeply emotional and nostalgic, expressing a longing for a past that may never have existed. The theme of lost love and regret is one that many people can relate to, and the singer's words are filled with a sense of despair and hopelessness, mixed with a glimmer of optimism for the future. The song is a reminder to cherish the people we love, as we never know when we might lose them.

在有生的瞬間能遇到你 竟花光所有運氣 到這日才發現 曾呼吸過空氣
痛 好痛 原來擁有你如此幸運 我好多謝都好感恩你呢8年一直系我身邊
我知道一切都番吾到轉頭 都好清楚你吾會再接受我 我地之間太多太多回憶 我已經吾可以再好似以前咁用朋友身份追求你 但我真系覺得好可惜
當初點樣追你 第一次我地接吻 第一次叫你老婆 當初一起身會見到你同我講早晨 所有野都好似走馬燈咁系我腦海入面系咁轉
明明當初同你一齊戈陣 我同自己講要令你以後永遠都開心 要好好珍惜你 你系我最愛嘅人
但我竟然不斷咁傷害你 明明你系我最珍惜嘅人 但我偏偏將最差嘅一面呈現俾你
我知道慢慢我地會放低 我知道慢慢我地會習慣新生活 但我真系好吾甘心 我地仲有好多野未做 我以前以為我地有好多時間慢慢做 但所有野都結束左 而家我只可以慢慢逼自己放低你
我始終憧憬我以後嘅日子會有你系身邊 但如果我地到最後真系冇機會 我祝你早午晚都安
In case I don't to see you. Good afternoon, good evening, and good night.

若这一束吊灯 倾泻下来 或者我 已不会存在
即使你不爱 亦不需要分开
若这一刻我竟 严重痴呆 根本不需要 被爱
永远在床上发梦 余生都不会再悲哀
人总需要 勇敢生存 我还是 重新许 愿
例如学会 承受失恋
明年今日 别要再失眠 床褥都改变 如果有幸
会面 或在同伴新婚的盛宴 惶惑地等 待你出现
明年今日 未见你一年 谁舍得改变 离开你六
十年 但愿能认得出你的子女 临别亦听
得到你讲 再见
人总需要 勇敢生存 我还是 重新许 愿
例如学会 承受失恋
明年今日 别要再失眠 床褥都改变 如果有幸
会面 或在同伴新婚的盛宴 惶惑地等 待你出现
明年今日 未见你一年 谁舍得改变 离开你六
十年 但愿能认得出你的子女 临别亦听
得到你讲 再见
在有生的瞬间 能遇到你 竟花光 所有运气
到这日才发现 曾呼吸过空气

小時候很喜歡這首歌的旋律
所以經常聽 小時候不明白歌詞 也跟著唱
夜闌人靜時總是情不自禁想起你
你更是我午夜夢迴時的念想
原來遇上你已經花光了我的運氣
我們有夢幻的開頭 卻沒有夢幻的結局……
真想給你一個最後的擁抱 一邊淚流 一邊享受如今你結婚生娃了 希望你們快樂幸福

十几年前爱过一个人，但对自己没自信，选择出国，借口分手逃避感情。后来回国遇见熟人，得知他因为分手曾经崩溃买醉过。再见面时他已有女友，选择擦肩。好多好多年后，再遇见，他已为人父，我亦为人母。此生就这么错过了。这首歌当年他喜欢，我也喜欢。世事无常，希望其他的有情人终成眷属。
