This has gotta be Khalil Fong (方大同) best ever song...so far. A Thousand Paper Cranes (千紙鶴) exudes so much enigma in it. It is so catchy and infectious that I can't stop listening to it. More importantly it is the lyrics of A Thousand Paper Cranes that won me over when I first listened to it. I never thought Khalil Fong's song would be this good (no disrespect)! If you were to look at the words used, you would agree with me that they are so profound in reflecting the emotions that the composer wanted to tell.

Khalil Fong in his element in A Thousand Paper Cranes

A Thousand Paper Cranes is actually a sad song about being left alone by someone after a break-up. Unlike other "break-up" songs, this song added multiple texture of emotions on top of the hurtful feeling. The song narrates how it feels like to be alone in a very tactful way. It's like you ponder about how different your life has been. The lyrics talk about how you reflect on your life by overlooking the neon lights while sipping your coffee. And the mentioning of empty perfume bottle! It's like the whole song is on a slow-motion tempo where you keep on getting flashbacks! It is really one heck of a good song!

Khalil Fong (方大同)-A Thousand Paper Cranes (千紙鶴) Lyrics

咖啡　再續杯　回想　這一切

好多　的細節　譬如妳嘟嘴　微笑的離別

窗外　的世界　霓虹　在交會

繽紛　整條街　我安靜了解　沒妳的感覺

紙鶴　妳溫柔對摺　如爵士樂般隨性的快樂

此刻　水清澈　遠方的麥田金黃色

千紙鶴　故事還溫熱　隨性的　我們唱起歌

我走過　牧笛聲輕吹著　那愛情走到這　微笑不爭了

OH　山水潑墨的感覺　一頁 彩蝶前世的感覺

一頁　紅塵幾世的輪迴 再寫　今生緣份還是傾斜

時間　若倒退　再次　給機會

理由　怎麼給　妳一句不愛了　以為就解決

空了　的香水　乾掉　的玫瑰

問了　一整夜　妳慵懶撒野　說解釋很累

紙鶴　妳溫柔對摺　如爵士樂般隨性的快樂

或許　讓妳離去　只是換個方式　愛妳

千紙鶴　故事還溫熱　隨性的　我們唱起歌

我走過　牧笛聲輕吹著　那愛情走到這　微笑不爭了

OH　山水潑墨的感覺　一頁 彩蝶前世的感覺

一頁　紅塵幾世的輪迴 再寫　今生緣份還是傾斜

妳的美遊走在兩個世代　

兩個不同美學那種年代在不在

兩種不同期待　我終於明白　

妳愛不愛都意外　不應該等待

等妳不愛　就是離開　就是不回來

台階上整遍青苔蔓延到了斑駁的古牆

太陽西曬　妳在等水面上的芙蓉花開

而我偏愛我們就處在這安靜的狀態

千紙鶴　故事還溫熱（紙鶴　一千次快樂）

千紙鶴　是妳給的（紙鶴　一千次快樂　還愛著)

妳做了選擇愛情停格　我也決定割捨

千紙鶴　故事還溫熱　隨性的　我們唱起歌（千紙鶴）

我走過　牧笛聲輕吹著　那愛情走到這　微笑不爭了

（唱一千次的歌　凌空　飛過　的快樂）

OH　山水潑墨的感覺　一頁 彩蝶前世的感覺

一頁　紅塵幾世的輪迴 再寫　今生緣份還是傾斜

Personally this has gotta be one of Khalil Fong's best single so far. So if you are feeling terribly bad after being dumped, so listen to this awesome song. Sure it does make you feel even worse at first, but then it will let you ruminate what you are going through. Likewise it will also serve as a reminder for us to treat our loves one wholeheartedly. The funny thing is...I don't see a single paper crane in this MTV...just feathers which are memories of course.

Diana (right) looks very stunning and elegant in the MTV. :)
