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.
Shall We Talk
陳奕迅 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
为何又照地堂
宁愿在公园躲藏
不想喝汤
任由目光
留在漫画一角
为何望母亲一眼就如罚留堂
孩童只盼望欢乐
大人只知道寄望
为何都不大懂得努力体恤对方
大门外有蟋蟀
回响却如同幻觉
Shall we talk shall we talk
就当重新手拖手去上学堂
陪我讲
陪我讲出我们最后何以生疏
谁怕讲
谁会可悲得过孤独探戈
难得可以同座
何以要忌讳赤裸
如果心声真有疗效
谁怕暴露更多
你别怕我
荧幕发光
无论什么都看
情人在分手边缘只敢喝汤
若沉默似金
还谈什么恋爱
宁愿发声机器面前笑着忙
成人只寄望收获
情人只听见承诺
为何都不大懂得努力珍惜对方
螳螂面对蟋蟀
回响也如同幻觉
Shall we talk shall we talk
就算牙关开始打震
别说谎
陪我讲
陪我讲出我们最后何以生疏
谁怕讲
谁会可悲得过孤独探戈
难得可以同座
何以要忌讳赤裸
如果心声真有疗效
谁怕暴露更多
陪我讲
陪我亲身正视眼泪谁跌得多
无法讲
除非彼此已失去了能力触摸
铃声可以宁静
难过却避不过
如果沉默太沉重
别要轻轻带过
明月光
为何未照地堂
孩儿在公司很忙
不需喝汤
And shall we talk
斜阳白赶一趟
沉默令我听得见叶儿声声降
The song "Shall We Talk" by 陳奕迅 (Eason Chan) starts with a question - "Why does the moonlight shine upon the ground again?" This line could be interpreted as a metaphor for a relationship that has lost its spark. The singer of the song would rather be alone in a park than confront the problems in their relationship. The lyrics then go on to explore the disconnect between adults and children when it comes to understanding the feelings of others. The singer feels that people do not make enough effort to empathize with others and only care about their own happiness. The chorus invites the listener to talk with them, to explore the reasons for their estrangement and to make an effort to reconnect. The song ends with a hopeful note, where the singer hears the sound of leaves rustling in the breeze, which could be interpreted as a sign of new beginnings.

明月光
Why does the moon shine down on the ground again
为何又照地堂
Why shine on the earth instead of hiding in the park
宁愿在公园躲藏
I'd rather hide in the park than drink soup
不想喝汤
I don't want to drink soup
任由目光
Letting my eyes wander
留在漫画一角
Staring at a corner of my comic

Why does a glance at my mother feel like a punishment

Children only hope for happiness
大人只知道寄望
Adults only know how to hope
为何都不大懂得努力体恤对方

There are crickets outside the door
回响却如同幻觉

Shall we talk shall we talk
Shall we talk, shall we talk
就当重新手拖手去上学堂
Let's hold hands and go back to school

Talk to me about why we became strangers

Don't be afraid of me

The screen glows

Watching anything and everything
情人在分手边缘只敢喝汤
Lovers on the verge of breaking up only dare to drink soup
若沉默似金
Silence is golden
还谈什么恋爱
Then what's the point of talking about love
宁愿发声机器面前笑着忙
Rather keep busy and smile in front of the recording machine
成人只寄望收获
Adults only hope for rewards
情人只听见承诺
Lovers only hear promises
为何都不大懂得努力珍惜对方
Why don't they try harder to cherish each other
螳螂面对蟋蟀
The mantis faces the cricket
回响也如同幻觉
But their sounds still feel unreal
就算牙关开始打震
Even if our teeth start to chatter
别说谎
Don't lie to me
陪我亲身正视眼泪谁跌得多
Let's face each other and see who has shed more tears
无法讲
Unable to speak about it
除非彼此已失去了能力触摸
Unless we've lost the ability to touch each other
铃声可以宁静
The sound of a bell can be peaceful
难过却避不过
But sadness can't be avoided
如果沉默太沉重
If silence weighs too heavily
别要轻轻带过
Don't dismiss it lightly
孩儿在公司很忙
The child is busy with work
不需喝汤
No need to drink soup
And shall we talk
And let's talk
斜阳白赶一趟
The setting sun makes a trip
沉默令我听得见叶儿声声降
Silence lets me hear the sound of leaves falling

偶然下睇到呢個MV,有種莫名嘅感動
拍得好有深度,三個角色演繹三種唔同精神病患
意境刻畫得恰到好處
紅藍點女仔代表BAD,紅點manic,藍點depress,2種極端情緒不斷交替出現,極不穩定有如江水猛獸吞噬身邊嘅人
蝴蝶男代表思覺失調,蝴蝶看似被困玻璃箱中,幻覺不斷出現疑幻疑真,男角亦神情呆滯,恍惚與外面世界完全隔絕
最後一位係suicidal女,凝望住黑洞裡面星空,就好似被困在一段段走唔出嘅陰霾當中
頭2個角色都嚇怕咗Eason,正正代表大眾對BAD同思覺失調病患嘅恐懼。恐懼過後,嚇怕身邊嘅人後,精神病患獨自留喺自己世界面對自己嘅困境
Suicidal女,Eason一念天堂一念地獄,最終都肯行前一步,拯救咗個女仔。然後再返轉頭進入頭2個角色嘅世界,陪同、同步、同理,將原本佢恐懼嘅人,活喺自己黑暗世界嘅人走向光明。
做咗精神科10年,尤其做ward時每日就係經歷緊類似嘅情況,行多一步,進入佢哋嘅世界,那怕只係一少步,那怕只係整個過程中嘅一個齒輪,最後可以幫到佢哋走出困境,果種滿足感同感動,到而家仍然係推動我繼續有工作熱誠嘅原動力!
放下恐懼,行多一步,進入佢哋嘅世界,聆聽身邊有精神健康需要嘅人。

想問,如果遇上一個思覺失調的人,他每次都表達自己世界第一,要別人認同,如何處理。
Angela Chu
BAD? 您是指General Anxiety Disorder (GAD) 嗎
Zac M
夕爺史上寫得最久的詞,充滿情感意義和畫面,寫得很棒!夕陽神詞曲唱組合,是香港樂壇一絕的配搭,精彩。可惜難再復見...
另外這個mv拍得很好,配上這首歌,看哭了。
星星
多謝Eason、林夕、陳輝陽。
重新演繹Shall we talk,聽完好感動,一首比心靈飲既心靈雞湯,好治癒。
多謝Eason送上心靈安慰比每位香港人。
Natural Lee
身邊有人有情緒問題,一路睇個MV,一路爆喊。
多謝為情緒健康重新演繹shall we talk!
希望大家都多多理解情緒病人並唔係佢地選擇點樣釋放佢地嘅情緒,好多時身不由己,先理解,再了解,後說話,唔好亂禁指責佢地,無知嘅說話係會害死人!

對。別人無意的說話.已令極度無助/不想煩別人.而落閘的情緒之下.會做錯決定
