About Waves - an accidental EP I came up with about grief, when I was dealing with the sudden but terminal cancer and eventual death of my most beloved dog, Leif. I lost Leif to advanced lymphoma, and this is all I could do. Music, after all.
I don’t think I am able to perform these songs live. Maybe never. No one can ever tell you how long grief will last. As a matter of fact, no one should ever tell you how and when to feel. Take your time. Just remember, grief comes like waves, if you’re not standing on your feet, you might be swept away and never found again. In time, you might learn to let it become a part of you. You will learn to live again, with a whole new perspective. Or not.
I am sorry, you are all alone in feeling this, but you’re definitely not alone in this world.
Waves come and go. So does life.
Love lifts you up high, pain gives you weight to put your feet on the ground. You are only complete when you have truly experienced loss, but there’s no rush. In the meantime, may these songs give you some comfort, as they did to me.
Love,
Chet Lam
悼念的悲傷，會像潮水一樣來襲。
悼念就是愛。愛有多深，悼念就有多深。
這張有關接受死亡的專輯是一個意外。2021年6月，就在我知道只有八歲的小狗阿富患上末期淋巴癌的時候，我在音樂製作裏找到一點安慰與出口。
有多少心理準備以及理性分析，悲傷來的時候永遠會把你震撼，在受到巨大衝擊之後拾起碎片，你嘗試重新思考生命及生活。經驗不會對你有幫助，頂多只是讓你知道你自己有某些感覺神經，而每一次的體驗也是新鮮的；再多的意見和智慧都只是不設實際的雜音，世上沒有人可以告訴你怎樣感受，什麼方法才是對的，需要經歷多久… 這是一條很孤獨，而只能夠靠自己走的路。
更糟糕的是，它會用潮水的方式來襲，一下一下拍打你的心。我們不能阻止潮水的來去，唯一可以做的，就是感受，讓所有溫度濕度風雨陽光一一穿過你的身心，謙愻地活在這一刻。
給生命裏曾經失去過什麼的朋友，你並不是一個人。

i remember you 在 [翻譯] Skid Row - I Remember You - 看板RockMetal - 批踢踢 ... 的必吃
Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
The wind would whisper and I'd think of you
And all the tears you cried, that called my name
And when you needed me I came through
被傾盆大雨聲喚醒
風正低語著，而我想起妳
所有妳流過的眼淚叫喚著我的名字
當妳需要我的時候，我將隨傳隨至
I paint a picture of the days gone by
When love went blind and you would make me see
I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes
So that I knew you were there for me
Time after time you were there for me
我會畫幅畫，紀念過往的日子
當愛使我盲目，妳讓我重見光明
我願一輩子看著妳的雙眼
然後我將知道，妳是為我而生
直到最後，妳會在盡頭等著
Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you
猶記得昨日，手牽著手
說過的情話將一字一句風化，但我還是記著妳
失眠的夜，數不盡的白天
我想聽妳說－我記得你
We spend the summer with the top rolled down
Wished ever after would be like this
You said I love you babe, without a sound
I said I'd give my life for just one kiss
I'd live for your smile and die for your kiss
一整個夏天的悲歡笑淚
多希望之後的日子能像如此
妳無聲的說著妳愛我
我說：我願意用生命換來妳的一個吻
我為妳的笑而活，願為妳的吻而死
Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you
猶記得昨日，手牽著手
說過的情話將一字一句風化，但我還是記著妳
失眠的夜，數不盡的白天
我想聽妳說－我記得你
We've had our share of hard times
But that's the price we paid
And through it all we kept the promise that we made
I swear you'll never be lonely
我們是有過艱苦的時候
而我們也付出了代價
但經過了這些，我們還是記著我們的承諾
我發誓，妳永遠都不會是孤獨一人
(Solo)
Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
Washed away a dream of you
But nothing else could ever take you away
'Cause you'll always be my dream come true
Oh my darling, I love you
被傾盆大雨聲喚醒
洗盡了所有對妳的夢
但沒有任何事能夠將妳奪走
因為妳讓我所有美夢成真
親愛的，我多麼愛妳
Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you
猶記得昨日，手牽著手
說過的情話將一字一句風化，但我還是記著妳
失眠的夜，數不盡的白天
我想聽妳說－我記得你
