港台 DJ 梁兆輝 6 月 17 日在 facebook 這樣說(http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150895354119142&set=a.10150225831334142.323319.625979141&type=1&theater)：「近月因搬屋而進出幾家 IKEA 分店好幾趟，每一次，對，每一次，店內都重覆loop 着 Adele 和 Bruno Mars 兩張大碟（編按：還有 Jason Mraz），連 mix 到省掉由頭播到尾，每一次，每一家。真有衝動在 fb 發起一個捐助唱片給IKEA的善舉！這個城市的音樂未至貧瘠到如此田地吧？」

的確，別小看商店播放歌曲的力量，它隨時引起你對音樂的興趣，像幾年前逛 Kurbick 聽到一把日本女歌手的歌曲非常動聽，到櫃檯前看「Now playing」架上放的是絢香的《First Message》，結果後來就到信和買了她的唱片。其實現在有了歌曲識別歐西和日本歌的的iPhone App「Shazam」和韓文歌的「Naver」，要知道這首歌的歌名和歌手已無難道，但還得靠商店本身自發挑選好歌，像早前到過銅鑼灣的 Forever 21便讓得遇上了紐西蘭唱作女歌手 Kimbra，離開後立即登上 iTunes Store買歌。

I can't believe it's been 10 years since this song came out! I have uploaded a straight up Japanese cover a while back, but here is my English version (finally) :)

この曲のリリースからもう既に１０年が経ったなんて信じられません！日本語カバーは随分前にアップしていますが、今日は英語カバーをお届けします♪

Enjoy!

English Lyrics

This road we walked together
Suddenly splits into two right before our eyes
I thought nothing would ever
Tear us apart, that we'd always be side by side

Walking in the cold and lonely night
I put my arms around myself
Any minute now the skies will
Open up in tears as well
And I really miss you right now, oh, oh

*Even on the nights when you're not here
No, I won't cry, I'll dry up my tears
And tell myself it's for the best, and how
Much stronger I'll be on my own, now
Are you looking at the night sky, too,
Under the same waning crescent moon?
Shining its light upon our hearts so
We'll never really be apart, no

My hands are almost frozen
But you aren't here to warm them up for me this time
I miss how you would hold them
I would do anything to feel your hand in mine

Even though you call me on the phone
And tell me that you love me
Nothing can replace the way I feel
When you're beside me
It's so hard to hold back the tears, oh, oh

Even on the nights when you're not here
No, I won't cry, I'll dry up my tears
And tell myself it's for the best, and how
Much stronger I'll be on my own, now

I can't wait 'til I see you again
I'll do my best to hold on until then
And with the memory of those
three words and your embrace
No, there's nothing that I cannot face

*repeat

Reaching out my hands up to the moon above
I hope that you can feel all of my love
