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.
