Overall Meaning

G.E.M.'s song The Rose features lyrics that describe the challenges of growing up in a modest environment and chasing one's dreams. The first stanza declares that the singer refuses to stop dreaming, even if society believes that one dies when they stop dreaming. The chorus repeats the message that growing up in a modest environment means that one must fight hard to achieve their dreams, which is where the phrase "the rose" comes in, as it represents the place of birth. The second stanza speaks of a neighbourhood where things are not easy, and there is dealing and crime, and the singer's family suffers, but the artist refuses to stop dreaming. The third stanza pictures growing up in the literal jungle of a big city, where some people succeed while others fail, and politics means nothing. The fourth and final stanza tells the story of a mother who urged her child to keep dreaming despite adversity and obstacles.

紅薔薇白玫瑰

作詞:G.E.M.鄧紫棋
作曲:DEE.P, JOHNSON REBECCA ROSE, TE DI, SOL
編曲:Lupo Groinig
監製:Lupo Groinig

說不出說不出一句話
連我自己都很驚訝
面對最熟悉的你 曾經最熟悉的你
我竟如此害怕
我說不出口你能不能別走
留不住你曾對我的溫柔
此刻我忐忑的心 你勉強的表情
愛情到底是怎麼從美麗慢慢凋零
每一個夜晚我都還夢見你
也看到天真的自己
還記得我們當時如此相信
月亮會一直帶領 往幸福的路徑
月亮也聽見你說 說你會一直愛我
夢裡鮮紅的薔薇 睜眼是蒼白的玫瑰
它躺在月亮下 紀念著曾經最真摯的愛
記憶裡快樂再真切 早已被冷空氣凝結
而此刻月亮下 只有伶仃的一個墓地
守護著死去的愛
我不懂我不懂為什麼
你沒一點的捨不得
面對這陌生的你 眼前這陌生的你
我努力冷靜
就算我真的求你別走

這死去的愛
當時你手中的那一束玫瑰
和耳邊輕輕說的那一句
Saranghae, Saranghae, 至少你能不能別忘記?

以當年的年紀可以寫出這些歌詞,紫棋真的不簡單不簡單,厲害

小馬

紫棋真是强到不行,高音低音聽起來都超迷人啊!超愛。

Nanometer Lin hsu ping

唱的聲音與技巧超級好,身體語言,表情,肢體情感演繹登峰造極,畫面感十足,每首歌都濃郁像烈酒,令人一聽陶醉。

Ching Cheung SZE

她受太陽原曲感動,早年技癢在家填了整版歌詞,以抒情逝之苦,想不到得鳥叔公司 YG 批准她在比賽中翻唱此版本,於是才可以面世。

lai keng yuen

她跟你说的吗

Jia-You Jiang

@lai keng yuen 他之前在新說唱有說過呀~~~

Ching Cheung SZE

可能很多人會覺得現場的歌手們目瞪口呆的表情和心潮澎湃的躍動很誇張,但他們是最了解要即場沒修音能唱成這樣是多麼的困難。

Pe Peter

可能很多人會不知道有一種東西叫節目效果

Ching Cheung SZE

@Pe Peter 其實這次她登上的是敵對主辦方的舞台,不但不會為她製造節目效果,更不會讓她得到任何一場冠軍,但她的全力以赴意外地開發了一大羣樂迷。

Pe Peter

@Ching Cheung SZE 根據什麼的
