Chan got his start by enrolling in the TVB Dancers' Training Class in 1985. Soon after graduation, he joined a few of the studio's troupes that would accompany popular singers during their live performances. He worked with artists such as Alan Tam, Leslie Cheung, and Anita Mui before being invited by a producer to make a record of his own.

In 1994, he made his film debut with Twenty Something. Chan has since received several Hong Kong Film Award nominations: two for his role in He's a Woman, She's a Man (1994), and one each for Heaven Can't Wait (1995) and Big Bullet (1996).

Musically, Chan is known for bringing a hip hop flavor to cantopop. With his recent releases beginning around 2002, he has rapped and added hip hop beats to his music. His hip hop style has brought him new fans, although some Hong Kong fans have accused him of acting "black." He continues to incorporate r&b and hip hop sounds into his music today.

陳小春 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

c'mon, c'mon

something's in the water
besides a moon that dont know when to quit
spine waits to feel the shiver
right now deals with a great lack of it

way up in the high desert,

or down in anywhere france
trains were built to remedy
tracks laid out, at least give us half a chance

to deliver
deliver
deliver a shiver

forget age and well like some treasured splendor
with words just so strong and a touch just so tender
is it better off beyond description?
left alone in a dark room with a mouth full of prescription

Unable to deliver, unable to understand
the deliver of shiver

so you take your time
and you take your leave
ready to do without
ready to recieve

never mind, gonna find good love down by the river
might as well find your spine
the shiver

there's something in the water besides a moon that don't know when to quit

c'mon and deliver

c'mon and deliver
the shiver

Overall Meaning

The song "0932" by 陳小春 has lyrics that are open to interpretation. The opening lines suggest that there is something unusual happening, perhaps a change in the environment or a shift in behavior. The moon is mentioned as a constant, implying that whatever is happening is not of the natural order. The mention of a lack of shiver is also interesting because shivers are usually associated with excitement, anticipation, or fear. This implies a sense of detachment or numbness, as if the singer can no longer feel the sensations that should accompany a moon that doesn't know when to quit.

The lyrics then move on to different locations - the high desert and France - and references to trains and tracks possibly suggesting a need for direction or guidance. The chorus "deliver a shiver" seems to be a call for something to happen or change, to feel excitement or something that shakes them out of their current state. The bridge highlights the importance of strong words and touch, but also wonders if some things are better left unexplained. The inability to understand or deliver the shiver is then expressed.

The final lines suggest that it is time to move forward, to find love and to regain what has been lost. The repetition of "c'mon and deliver the shiver" leaves the listener with the impression that the singer is urging themselves or someone else to take action.
