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.

落花流水
作曲：Eric Kwok / Eason Chan
填詞：黃偉文
編曲：Eric Kwok / Jerald

流水　像清得沒帶半顆沙
前身　被擱在上游風化
但那天經過那條提壩

斜陽又返照閃一下　遇上一朵　落花

相遇　就此擁著最愛歸家
生活　別過份地童話化
故事　假使短過這　五月落霞
沒有需要　驚詫

流水很清楚　惜花這個責任
真的身份不過送運
這趟旅行若算開心
亦是無負這一生
水點　蒸發變做白雲
花瓣　飄落下游生根
淡淡交會過　各不留下印

流水　在山谷下再次分岔
情感　漸化做淡然優雅
自覺心境已有如明鏡
為何為天降的稀客　泛過一點　浪花

天下　並非只是有這朵花
不用　為故事下文牽掛
要是　彼此都有些　既定路程
學會灑脫　好嗎

流水很清楚　惜花這個責任
真的身份不過送運
這趟旅行若算開心
亦是無負這一生
水點　蒸發變做白雲
花瓣　飄落下游生根
命運敲定了　要這麼發生

講分開　可否不再　用憾事的口吻
習慣無常　才會慶幸
講真　天涯途上　誰是客
散席時　怎麼分

流水很清楚　惜花這個責任
真的身份不過送運
這趟旅行若算開心
亦是無負這一生
水點　蒸發變做白雲
花瓣　飄落下游生根

淡淡交會過　各不留下印
但是經歷過　最溫柔共震

Overall Meaning

The song "落花流水" talks about the journey of life and how it is comparable to a river that flows continuously, always moving forward much like how life goes on without stopping. The flow of the river is clear and pure as it carries along the fallen petals of a flower, which symbolizes the experiences and memories in life that we carry with us like the petals on a river. The song urges listeners to cherish these experiences and learn from them, as life moves forward in the same way that the river flows seamlessly.

The lyrics also highlight how meeting the person we love is like finally being able to return home. However, as life moves on, we learn that not everything is perfect and that we shouldn't try to turn our lives into a fairytale. Instead, we should embrace the journey with an open heart and learn to let go of things that are not meant to stay. The song reminds us to be grateful for the journey, for it makes us who we are and that every experience, good or bad, is a part of us.

Overall, the lyrics of the song convey a message of embracing life and its journey, accepting its ups and downs, and learning from its experiences.

Line by Line Meaning

流水　像清得沒帶半顆沙
The flowing water is so clear that it seems to have no sand in it

前身　被擱在上游風化
The predecessor was left to weather upstream

但那天經過那條提壩
But that day, passing by that dam

斜陽又返照閃一下　遇上一朵　落花
The setting sun shines again and flashes, meeting a falling petal

相遇　就此擁著最愛歸家
Meeting, holding onto the most beloved and returning home

生活　別過份地童話化
Life shouldn't be overly romanticized into a fairy tale

故事　假使短過這　五月落霞
Even if the story is shorter than this May sunset

沒有需要　驚詫
There is no need for surprise

流水很清楚　惜花這個責任
The flowing water clearly has the responsibility to cherish flowers

真的身份不過送運
Its true identity is just to transport

這趟旅行若算開心
If this trip is considered happy

亦是無負這一生
It also doesn't disappoint this life

水點　蒸發變做白雲
Water droplets evaporate and turn into white clouds

花瓣　飄落下游生根
Flower petals float downstream and take root

淡淡交會過　各不留下印
Faintly meeting but not leaving any marks

流水　在山谷下再次分岔
The flowing water splits again at the valley

情感　漸化做淡然優雅
Emotions gradually become understated and elegant

自覺心境已有如明鏡
Feeling that one's state of mind is like a clear mirror

為何為天降的稀客　泛過一點　浪花
Why does one encounter a rare visitor and create a small wave

天下　並非只是有這朵花
The world is not just about this flower

不用　為故事下文牽掛
Don't worry about the next chapter of the story

要是　彼此都有些　既定路程
If both have a predetermined path

學會灑脫　好嗎
Learn to let go, okay?

講分開　可否不再　用憾事的口吻
Can we talk about separation without using a tone of regret?

習慣無常　才會慶幸
Only because habits are impermanent can we celebrate

講真　天涯途上　誰是客
Honestly, on the road to the end of the world, who is a guest?

散席時　怎麼分
How do we part ways at the end?

命運敲定了　要這麼發生
Fate has decided it must happen this way

但是經歷過　最溫柔共震
But having gone through it, the gentlest resonance
