Aaron Wu Geng Lin (traditional Chinese: 吳庚霖; simplified Chinese: 吴庚霖; pinyin: wú gēng lín) was born on November 20, 1985 in Taiwan. At a young age, his family moved to Connecticut, U.S., where he stayed for his primary school education for about five years. He then moved back to Taiwan for further education.
He can speak and understand Mandarin, Taiwanese, English and limited Japanese and Cantonese. He was a sophomore at Chinese Culture University, majoring in Journalism and News Broadcasting. However, because his career had greatly affected his academics and learning environment, he transferred to Jinwen University of Science and Technology, majoring in English. In October 2010, Aaron announced that he had quit schooling to focus on his career instead. Having injured his knee previously, Aaron is also exempted from serving in the national army.
As part of Fahrenheit, Yan has released four Mandopop studio albums, three Japanese singles and one live concert DVD. Yan held his first solo concert on 20 November 2010 at The Wall Live House in Taipei, to celebrate his 25th birthday. The tickets were sold out in 18 minutes right after it is open for sale. Proceeds from the ticket sale were for charity purposes.
Yan's first solo EP, The Next Me (traditional Chinese: 下一個炎亞綸; literally "The Next Aaron Yan") was released on 25 March 2011 by HIM International Music. It was available for pre-order from 11 March 2011, in it includes six tracks, on which one is a duet with Singaporean singer Olivia Ong, as well as a piano solo piece performed by Yan himself. On 4 March 2011, a 30-seconds preview of the title track, "The Next Me" (traditional Chinese: 下一個我) was released online by HIM International Music.
Yan's solo concert was held on 11 June 2011 at the National Taiwan University Sports Center as a celebration for his success in his first solo EP, The Next Me.
Yan was originally signed to star in Rolling Love along with fellow bandmate Jiro Wang, but he took the lead role in another drama, Mysterious Incredible Terminator, when the opportunity arose. Yan starred with his fellow bandmates in KO One, The X-Family, and their cameo appearance in K.O.3an Guo. He also starred in It Started With A Kiss and They Kiss Again as Ah Bu, along with his fellow bandmate Jiro Wang.
After filming Mysterious Incredible Terminator, Yan and his co-star Gui Gui signed a contract to do another drama together called Momo Love based on Japan's best selling manga Momoka Typhoon. Filming for this drama has begun but was cancelled when Yan had another opportunity to star in Love Buffet. He wanted to do both dramas, but the company only wanted him to do one. The company picked Love Buffet.
Suddenly
Aaron Yan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
世界可以忽然什麼都沒有
我想起了你 再想到自己
我為什麼總在非常脆弱的時候
懷念你
我明白 太放不開 你的愛
太熟悉 你的關懷 分不開
而現在 就算時針 都停擺
就算生命 像塵埃 分不開
我們 也許反而 更相信愛
如果這天地 最終會消失
不想一路走來珍惜的回憶
沒有你
我明白 太放不開 你的愛
太熟悉 你的關懷 分不開
想你 算是安慰 還是悲哀
而現在 就算時針 都停擺
就算生命 像塵埃 分不開
我們 也許反而 更相信愛
我明白 太放不開 你的愛
太熟悉 你的關懷 分不開
想你 算是安慰 還是悲哀
而現在 就算時針 都停擺
就算生命 像塵埃 分不開
我們 也許反而 更相信愛
分不開
我們 也許反而 更相信愛
The song Suddenly by Aaron Yan is a ballad that explores the feeling of vulnerability and the longing for a lost love. The opening lines "忽然之間 天昏地暗 世界可以忽然什麼都沒有" (suddenly, the sky becomes dark, and the world can suddenly become nothing) set the tone for the entirety of the song, conveying a sense of hopelessness and despair. The singer of the song then thinks about their past relationship with the person they miss and wonders why they were always so fragile when they were together. Despite the pain that remembering brings, the singer confesses that they miss their love and can't seem to let go.
The chorus of the song repeats the same lyrics, emphasizing that even though life may seem pointless and time may stop, they still can't let go of the memories and feelings they have for the person they once loved. The line "分不開 我們 也許反而 更相信愛" (can't separate, maybe we actually believe more in love) suggests that, in a way, the pain of wanting what they can't have only strengthens their belief in love.
Overall, the song Suddenly is a poignant and emotive exploration of the complexities of love and loss. The lyrics, coupled with Aaron Yan's heartfelt delivery, create a truly moving and relatable piece of music.
