For budding relationships, physical intimacy is greatly curtailed and this is bad news for those pursuing one night stands or quickies meant to provide instant relief. Whilst this completely throws off the business models of hookup apps, the porn industry becomes even more important than how it already was before the pandemic. If you ask me, porn producers and actors are essential workers. In the dating world, by preventing people from jumping into bed as a reflex action, they are made to connect on an emotional level more than usual which can only enhance relationships.
At the other end of the spectrum, long-term domestic relationships are put under more strain than ever simply from just partners and their kids being forced to be in the face of one another 24/7 with the office and school closures. Although this inevitably gives rise to more breakups and cases of domestic abuse, it could also make straight couples procreate more due to all this extra time on their hands as they try all means to alleviate boredom. When this is all over, maybe the lives the virus has taken away might just break even with the surge in birth rates, assuming the healthcare systems globally can cope with both at the same time.
As you can see, there are two sides to every equation and it's up to the individual to fill his or her mind with positive or negative thoughts while navigating the road of life with COVID-19. Speaking about relationships, a sad love story is at the centre of this month's musical piece in which a man clearly knows there's no point in asking why after a breakup because nothing is going to bring his love back. Though the story behind the song is made up, we've all been heartbroken before and the need for an explanation in this situation is all too familiar, not least because we need closure.
As the protagonist searches desperately for a reason to no avail, he also tries his best to move on. This is the most difficult part of the post-breakup journey especially when you feel you have no one to turn to for help. Through this song, I hope to bring to the fore these raw and brutal feelings of helplessness and despair, and through the clip, I hope it provides the sense of freedom we all sorely need during this prolonged isolation period.
[为什么]
词 / 曲 : 锦泉
为什么， 为何要问为什么
人来人往， 分了又合， 重蹈覆辙
为何还在问为什么
谁晓得， 他扮演的狠角色
把这故事变得曲折， 让人忐忑
可结局它也未免太扯
为你疯了， 值不值得
还记得那首歌
我们常一起哼着
你不再是我的
爱已走了
为什么，心还活着
不哭了， 不都说好不哭了
照片标记要删除呢， 还是留着
回忆丢了我还剩什么
手空着， 是错的
手握着， 责任你却无法负荷
虽然这是你的选择
我还是舍不得
被掏空了， 怎能愈合
我不再唱情歌
那一切都是假的
痛越来越深刻
爱已走了
为什么，心还活着
[Why]
Why, why do we need to ask why
People and relationships come and go
And we make the same mistakes repeatedly
So why are we still asking why
Who knew the role of the villian he played
Could twist the plot, creating such anxiety
And make the story's ending so ridiculous
Was going crazy for you worth it
I still remember the song we used to hum together
But you are no longer mine
Love has left so why is my heart still alive
Do not cry, we have agreed to not cry
Should I untag you in the pictures or leave them be
If I lost those memories, what else would I be left with
How do you recover from being completely hollowed out
I no longer sing love songs because they are not real
The pain is now cutting deeper and deeper
Love has left so why is my heart still alive
