柏霖 PoLin - 'Farewell 告別' Official Music Video

PoLin 柏霖 《Farewell 告別》Official MV

Farewell is an original song composed by PoLin 柏霖. He wrote the lyrics with Alex Bristo. About the song he says, “I guess it’s a feeling every human being must go through at some point in our lives. A feeling that makes us grow somehow. Farewell is a song that means a lot to me.”

About the MV, he always wanted to introduce contemporary dance into his songs. Therefore connecting two groups of people who can appreciate both contemporary dance and the songwriting of the music at the same time.

He invited British video maker Kie Willis to be the MV director. Kie is a parkour celebrity in the UK, one of the top parkour runners, who has started to shift his career to filmmaking. UK based Japanese dance artist Fukiko Takase plays the role of the inner version of PoLin. Together they created concepts and choreography to translate the song into dance. Fukiko and PoLin formerly danced together in the world-class dance company, Company Wayne McGregor. Fukiko has danced with Thom Yorke(Radiohead) in the MV Atoms for Peace- Ingenue. She has also choreographed for a Japanese pop singer Utada Hikaru’s Forevermore MV, and was invited to Hikaru’s Japan tour as a solo dance artist.

《Farewell 告別》是PoLin柏霖的原創作曲，詞是在倫敦家裡客廳某個晚上與朋友Alex Bristo 一起寫的。由音樂製作呂康惟完成編曲。關於這首歌，他說：「這是我們每個人都會在人生某個時間點體驗過的感覺吧！這種感覺在某面向使我們成長，這首歌其實對我有很深層的意義。」

柏霖是一個英國台灣籍舞蹈藝術家，一直以來他非常積極希望能把他的舞蹈帶進他的MV裡面。 這次他請到英國影像製作導演Kie Willis 擔任這次音樂舞蹈影像的導演。Kie 他是英國的酷跑明星，也是世界排名前列的酷跑運動員；他目前正慢慢轉移重心到影像製作電影拍攝。他邀請到他的好朋友英國日本籍舞蹈藝術家Fukiko Takase 來飾演柏霖內心的自己。他們一起共同創作分享概念完成這支簡單又不簡單的音樂錄像。

Fukiko 和柏霖曾一起在世界級舞團Company Wayne McGregor 一起共事。Fukiko 曾在英國在一首Atoms for Peace- Ingenue MV 中與英國搖滾天團Radiohead 的主唱Thom Yorke 一起拍攝舞蹈音樂錄像。她也曾為日本歌手明星宇多田光編舞，並在宇多田光Forevermore 這首歌的音樂錄像中呈現。也曾經受邀到宇多田光日本巡迴演唱會擔任獨舞。

《Farewell》PoLin

I can't help my feelings and my heartache
Regret the last thing you heard me say
I need to find you and reclaim
The part of me you love, you say
My smiles lost every day
Dimming light leaves shadows in my mind

When I close my eyes
When I close my eyes
When I close my eyes...

I could feel your love in the starlight,
That night we kissed the first time
It was the highlight of my life.

When I close my eyes
When I close my eyes
When I close my eyes...

Everybody says love is so blind
They say I’ve been fooled the whole time
I tell myself that I tried
#The part of me you love, you say
My smiles lost everyday
Dimming light leaves shadows in my mind

When I close my eyes

The sun is shining again
Rays can soften my pain
Memories, the Everlasting rain
We will meet again.
