年纪 (Age)

Aaron Matthew Lim

Aaron Matthew Lim - 《Age 》2nd EP album In 2014, Aaron released his very first EP 《守护》(To Protect). In that album, Aaron sang about young, foolish, and crazy love, with songs like 《回心转意》(A Change Of Heart), and his EP title song《守护》(To Protect). It has taken Aaron another 6 long years before finally releasing his 2nd album -《年纪》(Age) - this year in 2020. This album is close to Aaron’s heart, as the songs talk about love and its many forms. However, this is not the familiar kind of young tender love that has been sung of by many, but a bittersweet love that we can only comprehend with the passing and accumulation of time and age. When Aaron was young and in love, he used to think that we only experienced love in 2 forms: we fall in love, and we fall out of love. But with the passing of time came the accumulation of experiences, and love was no longer just black or white, but it existed in a multitude of shades, colours, sensations and forms. Aaron began to appreciate that the best love for us may not be sweet, and the sweetest love may not be the best. The 4 songs in this 《年纪》EP - Age, Ode to Youth, Tranquil Memories and Decanter of Life - speak from the perspective of someone who has enjoyed love over the years, and has reached a stage in his life when he just wants to spend his life with someone. He no longer wishes to go through the thrills and passions of the rollercoaster of love, but is contented to sip a glass of lovely wine and enjoy the cool breeze and moonlight with his loved one, from the comfort of a shared home. Aaron decided to name this 2nd EP 《年纪》(Age) , because he feels that a lot of us fear age. We fear our age numbers getting bigger, and we are scared of getting old. However, it is only with the passing of age and time that we gain valuable life experience, and that we also have the opportunity to enjoy a life-changing love. Age is nothing to be feared, but it is something to be embraced, just like how certain wines become more aromatic with age. May you enjoy Aaron’s 《年纪》(Age) EP, word by word, note by note. And may his voice soothe the ravages of time in your heart, and his songs accompany you like your shadow, in unnoticeable ways, but never leaving your side. 林伟强 - 《年纪 》第二张EP 专辑 二零一四年，林伟强发行首张个人专辑《守护》。同名主打《守护》与《回心转意》唱出涉世未深的人对爱的执着。 历经了人生的洗礼，岁月的熏陶，时隔六年伟强将于今年推出第二张专辑《年纪》，与您一同品茗爱情的悲欢离合与五味杂陈。 初识心动的我们曾认为爱的极端就是相恋与分手。但随着时间流逝，经验积累，慢慢领悟爱的千百种形式，原来爱在黑白之间也有隐藏色彩。或许最美的爱不是最幸福的，而最幸福的爱也不是最美的。 EP里的四首歌《年纪》、《难得青春》、《风和日丽》、《知足常乐》，唱出岁月旅程中爱情得失的感慨与对现在身旁伴侣的感激。随着年纪成熟的我们渐渐习惯点缀平凡生活的小浪漫。能与伴侣一起仰望星空，一阵微风，一杯红酒，也是另一种写意。 《年纪》顾名思义探讨着成长的过程与经历，从刚入社会不肯透漏年纪到释怀成熟。时间成就了红酒的芳醇，光阴让回忆成为人生的佳酿。从《难得青春》的疯狂，到《风和日丽》的释怀，方懂《知足常乐》，就让伟强温暖的歌声带您一起参透《年纪》的百感交集。 世界瞬息万变，唯有好歌能唤醒隐藏的思念。
