Do you know about the beauty of YouTube Video/Music Recommendations? Its endless new artists and music from all over the World. And just like that I enjoyed listening to this Malaysian Mandopop singer-songwriter named FIRDHAUS (Muhammad Firdhaus Farmizi). He grew up listening to Jay Chou (another awesome Taiwanese singer & musician).
Sharing with you the first song I heard from FIRDHAUS. What I love the song is actually the lyrics. Its these moments that I wish I know how to speak, read, and write Mandarin.

| 《我们都是第一次做人》 词曲：菲道尔 深呼吸 放下对自己的期许 没关系 你所有熬不过去 的问题 我陪你一步一步走下去 深呼吸 别对自己太狠心 没关系 我知道你已经 用尽全力 去爱这个世界 怎么不成正比 你尽管哭泣 我会默默在你身后陪你 静静不说话也没关系 等你看完夜空 颈项累了 就躺在我肩上 I’ll always be here for you 深呼吸 在这浩瀚无垠的 世界里 我们都是不堪一击 的星星 无论 这世界变得多么安静 请记得 我爱你 我会默默在你身后陪你 静静不说话也没关系 等你看完夜空 颈项累了 就躺在我肩上 I’ll always be here for you | “We are all human for the first time” Lyrics and music: Fidel Take a deep breath Let go of expectations for yourself It doesn’t matter All the problems you can’t get over I’ll accompany you step by step Take a deep breath Don’t be too cruel to yourself It doesn’t matter I know you have tried your best to love this world Why is it not proportional? You can cry I will accompany you silently behind you It doesn’t matter if you stay quiet and don’t speak Wait until you see the night sky When your neck is tired, lie on my shoulder I’ll always be here for you Take a deep breath In this vast world We are all vulnerable stars No matter how quiet the world becomes please remember I love you I will accompany you silently behind you It doesn’t matter if you stay quiet and don’t speak Wait until you see the night sky When your neck is tired, lie on my shoulder I’ll always be here for you |

Another song from him that I love: Divorce in Ghana
The lyrics are quite sad but a fitting song for lovers or maybe couples who still love each other yet they have both chosen to part ways. Great song to play for Divorce Parties, if anyone is celebrating those. The song doesn’t blame any side, it just chronicles the fact that life can be very long. The last few lines also somehow says that “this life is very long and anything can happen because I never thought we won’t be together in the end”. Also, there’s an easter egg on the melody! HINT: it plays when you walk down the aisle.

| 《在加納共和國離婚》 詞曲：菲道尔 沒想到 只能 走到這 看你濕了眼 我到底該說什麼 總以為 還有一輩子的時間 慢慢跟你說 再見 你不用對我說什麼 我哭不是因為我覺得捨不得 只是覺得努力了那麼久 最後卻還是敗給不適合 也許這一切都是最好安排 但我無法看著你離開 你還愛我嗎 你還愛我嗎 我沒辦法看著你雙眼說那句話 你懂我的吧 你懂我的啊 你懂我會不爭氣想回到你身旁 你不用對我說什麼 我哭就是因為我覺得捨不得 我們一起努力了那麼久 最後卻還是敗給不適合 也許這一切都是最好的安排 但我無法看著你離開 你還愛我嗎 你還愛我嗎 我沒辦法看著你雙眼說那句話 你懂我的吧 你懂我的啊 你懂我會不爭氣想回到你身旁 你還愛我嗎（我還愛你啊） 你還愛我嗎 （我還愛你啊） 我沒辦法看著你雙眼說那句話 你懂我的吧 你懂我的啊 你懂我會不爭氣想回到你身旁 原來一輩子 它真的很遙遠 抵達一輩子的時候 你已不在身邊 | “Divorce in the Republic of Ghana” Lyrics and music: Fidel I didn’t expect that I could only go this far Seeing your wet eyes, what should I say? I always thought that I still have a lifetime Say goodbye to you slowly You don’t have to say anything to me I cry not because I feel reluctant to let go I just feel like I’ve worked hard for so long In the end, I still lost because it was not suitable. Maybe this is all the best arrangement But I can’t watch you leave Do you still love me do you still love me I can’t look into your eyes and say that You understand me, right? You understand me, right? You know I will never live up to expectations and want to come back to you You don’t have to say anything to me I cry because I feel reluctant to let go We have worked hard together for so long In the end, I still lost because it was not suitable. Maybe this is the best arrangement But I can’t watch you leave Do you still love me do you still love me I can’t look into your eyes and say that You understand me, right? You understand me, right? You know I will never live up to expectations and want to come back to you Do you still love me (I still love you) Do you still love me? (I still love you) I can’t look into your eyes and say that You understand me, right? You understand me, right? You know I will never live up to expectations and want to come back to you It turns out that this whole life is really far away When you reach the end of your life, you are no longer around |
Generally, his songs and his voice are great for rainy, sad days… Do you like these kinds of songs too? When do you listen to songs like these?
