Verse:
Crack a cigar we don't know, Crack a humor we don't know
Crack a fortune, ain't no telling, that's our future getting old

"Now" is not world i know, "Peace" is not the world i know
won't you feel it, sick of faking now, Hell is everything i know

ar!

Verse:
"Shine" is not word i know, "Shame" is not the word i know
Be a failure, be a stranger, before your dream is getting cold

Hey Lip Stack Let Jack Dead Check, goin' minute after minute hours
Laugh with sadness, cry with fear, be my hero, sell your soul

Chorus:
She got it all along the wickest way,
feeling hot, the way she walks, the way she moves,
the way she's catching me, ignoring me, elevation burning hard

Verse:
Crack a cigar we don't know, be a cracker we don't know
won't u feel it, won't you blow it now, the wickest gonna be that way

Forever Unfinished 意猶未盡

2008-06-05T18:06:00.001+08:00

If you wanna help just come around
Shine the light in Darkness every night
Spread the love to people who stay alive

Kiss away your pain, Healing of Heart
Emotional Breakdown, Long Way to Go

Let's unite together
For what we can do,
will be, unfinished

Happiness, Hopes, WIshes, the Will to Survive
Food, water, a place to stay

God will do the miracle
Guiding with his shadow
Send down fallen Angels
Blessing to the people

香港沒有娛樂圈...

2008-02-15T22:39:00.000+08:00

十多年前beyond的黃家駒說 : 「香港沒有樂壇, 只有娛樂圈」.
More than ten years ago, Koma Wong from Beyond said: Music Circle is not exist in HK, except "Fish Happy Circle".

現在茶走低音結他手阿昇說:「香港沒有娛樂圈, 只有男極圈」.
now, bassist Sing from Chawoko said: There's no "Fish Happy Circle" in HK, except "Man Extreme Circle".

審判茶走 The Chawoko Trial

2007-05-26T17:51:00.000+08:00

思考和想法隨着分秒無情地考驗洗禮.

夢藉着我們甦醒前, 嘗試在疑慮不安的氣氛中靜悄悄地離去...
感覺默然仿似隱悔婦人面臨着不能回頭的決擇, 依然無情忍痛, 棄下初到人間的小生命.

滿足渴求, 是最終目的, 還是迷失時期的過渡?

應否不顧一切去擁抱飄怱的衝動?
單憑冷靜地分析和計算可以堆砌出香燙花火嗎?

一意孤行地堅持, 還是藝術家的執着?

強行走向完美, 還是欠缺說服力的無奈叫喊?

質疑總是比解決容易.

也許玩世不恭的末日態度, 總需要喘息空間來協調生話的每處陰暗面,
灰色地帶也可以恐怖得使人窒息, 黑白(做與不做)之間存在着的虛無絕望, 比失去更難捉摸.

我們的夢結束了嗎?
.
.
.
.
.
.

未盡全然.

一個方法行唔通, 就由另一個方向再試.

時機從來不會垂手可得, 但這不能構成一個放棄的理由(藉口).
深覺信念和欲望依然旺盛, 團火仲喺度, 只係轉化為另一種不流於表面的形態.
心境怎會老, Rock and Roll Heart for the rest of my Life.

繼續好懶認真, 繼續流着搖滾的血.
繼續歧視有可能妥協和盲從現況的自己.

不甘心, 不等於固執. 她可以是一種既"富抽離幻想又充滿美感的執迷".

誰能帶走我們的感覺? 只要有過一起經歷和享受的過程, 最後的成敗得失與結果已不再重要.

I can never imagine something like this once happened, a live recording of "Long Way Without Friends", "Arabian Dancing Girl". Awesome solo from 黃家駒 (slide!), Paul & 劉志遠.

After the Chawoko jam session at Hot Focus 20/F. we had such a crazy dinner, Ar Sing never disappoints us with his fast-catching sense [1/camera, 2/lift button], and the interview reporter characteristic, who posting us some inspiring philosophical questions. Danke schon. Nothing much to say, here's one of the best cantonese rock ballad, let's do a cover next time!

Chorus1:

Bridge2:
情隨時日變勝利火中花香且燙欣賞它不必要得到

彼此應該信任 (憂鬱掩飾冷酷) 一再擁有 (豈有此理)

Chorus2:
熱情熱誠熱愛要感受未來忍不需要靠走運
盡情盡狂盡放此生多燦爛期望你與我鳥瞰天空
用信心輕輕輸送成敗面對願我能能讓我光芒閃一次

will i ever see myself again

2007-03-29T23:34:00.000+08:00

People to people, hanging around,
I'm feeling purple swallow the sound,
all the people i know, keep the noise down
somewhere beneath underground

Did i ever dreaming of my dream
coz i never have a chance to scream so... loud
then i used to sleep outside my dream
will i ever see myself again

Stranger to stranger, talking non-sense
I'm feeling devil, to lick your ears now
Sacrifice my soul, my little drunken angel
Pretend you're everything i know

It's alright... it's ok

|E |G |Bm |Asus G|
Hey Hey do you really wanna say
What a world we live no way
out of here the past of holiday, wow wow

Hey Hey do you really wanna stay
There's no place to hide away
Tomorrow Comes from Yesterday how

|E |G |A |E D|
No, you'll never really fake it
Flying over shoulder
Carry my revolver, on load

No, you'll never really blow it
Time suppose to get over
Tired enough to know, that I don't

God no Religion Blues

2007-03-11T14:15:00.000+08:00

Holy God, can you stop the world crying
Holy God, can you touch everyone's heart
Put my tears into notation
Ain't no life without a hard time

Spiritual God, tell me what i'm gonna do
Spiritual God, tell me where my life leading to
Lay a shadow miles ahead
understood while lookin' back

Almighty God, in the name of truth
Almighty God, in the name of forgiveness
I don't believe in religion
but I find you deep inside my heart

Not for you, gal!

2007-03-11T13:42:00.000+08:00

Is the conversation over?!
While i'm thinking way ahead,
Just the same old talking,
I ain't no fool for you, gal
Go back home to your mama
They will give you what you said

I'm not the one to please you
oh, baby, please don't play the trick
I'm not the one to be with you
oh, dear, please don't play the trick
I'm happy to be sad,
a little satisfaction being mad

Oh come on wait a minute,
oh stop telling me about it,
Pull out the same old shit,
i ain't no fool for you, gal!
come on, don't you get it?!
Go back home to your papa,
they'll believe to everything you said

MR. BLIND

2007-03-11T13:16:00.000+08:00

Mr. Blind, you've been gamblin' all your life,
Mr. Blind, I can see you so uptight,
when the money goes easy,
you've been losing all the time

Mr. Blind, you've been drinkin' through the night,
Mr. Blind, say you never waste the time,
wake up dizzy by the river,
with a bottle got no wine

Mr. Blind, you've been cheatin' all your life,
Mr. Blind, who's that woman wanna cry,
full of pain to walk away,
that's the day you lose your wife

Mr. Blind, never too late to realise,
Mr. Blind, never too late to realise,
resolution, replace addiction,
time to bring back a beautiful life

(A 12 Bar Blues in the key of E, for those who addicted to alcohol and gamblin' games, you can always get back to life as long as you decide to quit. Right, it's never easy, only if you believe...)

Sometimes the Orange makes me cry

2007-03-01T01:06:00.001+08:00

What makes me cry? you little Orange head
Bright as the sun, Juice like my tears

What makes me laugh? by your impatience
Jumping around, anywhere anytime

Holding you tightly, nearly can't breath anymore
Holding you tightly, nearly can't breath anymore

Seven hours ahead what a cruel distance,
end of day will be the time to have lunch
Ask the moon if she can bring me back the sun
waiting for the night to make a difference

Spark of your teeth, will never eat my nose
like what i've done, scare you to die

Shape of your hair, a brand new orange
Rolling around, shall i cry or laugh

Kissing me softly, nearly can't speak anymore
Kissing me softly, nearly can't speak anymore

The Hardest Core Whenever Home

2006-05-27T08:36:00.000+08:00

DM7 CM7 GM7 FM7
EM7 AM7 CM7

Whenever heading home,
Can't stop thinking, about to embrace you
Heavenly spirit stoned
Materialistic Stay Shallow

People got emotional pain, we can't even speak or sing
killing all their fantasy, before all i got to seed.

The moisture deep within your mouth,
Come right now, patience never again
Lips Painting, bottom of my tongue
Smile out abstractly understood

Sensational freaking out,
we're so tired, after all
Your boss is calling now,
while you're out with me

i said "let's go for a picture tonight"
wouldn't it be great and nice,
you said, you don't watch hollywood
even the review was good

Let's run back inside the car,
Counting all the endless Star
so funny just turn off the lights
Romantic eyes deep and bright

The moisture deep within your mouth,
Feel right now, patience never again
Lips Painting, bottom of my tongue
Whenever Hardest Core, Sweetest Core

why don't we heading home again
it's time to bring you back home again

it's the taste of caramel,
it's the sound of nostalgic film
it's the sight of color blind
it's the smell of coconuts

(Got this romantic melody from mind suddenly, in the band studio with sing & lee, listen back to it over & over again, a fragile feeling u can never put it together too precisely, and the mood is exotic, jazzy and midnight)

|E7 D7 G7 E7 ||

We don't hate no dollars, but we work so hard everyday
We don't love no woman, making love til the end of the day
Taste of sugar won't be sweet, until you know how to make it one day

We don't hate no houses, all we need is a place to stay
We don't love no silence, making noise til the end of today
Taste of honey won't be sweet, until you know how to make it one day

TURN ME DOWN, SLOW ME DOWN, BEAT ME DOWN

2005-11-27T13:32:00.000+08:00

Ages, Helpless, where's my fun
Spiritual healing, turn me down
Pain's my oxygen, breath me no harm
Flowing your blood, slow me down X 4
Slow me

Departing from heaven i can't find my way out
You're crying silently, but i can feel it so loud

Dances, endless, where's my gloom
War of kiling, turn me down
Stink my dead body, smells like a gun
Bullets flying, beat me down X 4
Beat me

Departing from heaven i can't find my way out
You're crying silently, but i can feel it so loud

Conflicting equalize rhythm
Repeating history, tragic on and on...

"It's a Little bit of Taste"

2005-11-27T13:30:00.000+08:00

Doesn't matter too much daydreaming
Everyone pretend not tired
Doesn't matter you're so outtasight
Everyone's think behind

Forgiving unforgivable, tell me where's your pride
Bless for your soul, fooling gloom
Take away, no way home

Being cold, Being mad, Being sharp to me
It's a little bit of Taste, don't waste the day
It's a little bit of Taste, don't waste the day

Doesn't matter if i was in hell

Our 1st ever Serious Session @ HotFocus

2005-11-01T04:36:00.000+08:00

Thx my bandmates, i think we had progress a little bit from the past,
here's our rundown 7-9pm last night, to work on 5 songs:
> Setup/Tuning (10 mins)

>>>>> CIGAR CRACKER (Take1-5) <<<<<
• I think we gotta try the chorus a bit more. the timing.
• Paul's guitar-sound doesn't fit the style, too echoly reverb.
• we'll try that stop together(mute) part next time.
• i realise i miss the end part, please listen to the demo.

>>>>> PEPPER (Take1-3) <<<<<
• ArSing suggests we may need an extra bar, should discuss.
• see if he can fill some poetic cantonese lyrics as well.
• I love Lee's idea of changing drums rhythm in-between.

>>>>> U GOT YOUR CHAOS MANNER?! (Take1-3) <<<<<
• I love the intro part layer & drums style change at A-C.
• but it's a mess in the middle...

>>>>> JACK (Take1-2) <<<<<
• Paul's feedback great, but not sure about solo part, too VaiCobain, i want to be Raw.
• I think Sing/Lee can play more up & down together, to drive the whole atmosphere.

>>>>> PEOPLE2PEOPLE (Take1-4) <<<<<
• It's a clear "quiet to loud" song, i wanna end with let the notes fade out.
• Slower finger picking in the quiet part, more romantic.

> End & Dinner: we may decide to keep this everyweek 2 hrs for a while.
• I'll send the recording to ShareDamon before Friday.
• coming one: 6-8pm Sat or Sun? call u guys then.

my original handwriting, talk about the idea+plan of this band:

Somewhere there's a band called Chawoko... (English Version)

2005-10-28T03:36:00.000+08:00

[A letter to everyone of us in the group: please make sure you a ready to read a long writing]

Lawrence Lee / Drums
Paul Chiu / Lead Guitar
ArSing / Bass
ArKok Damon: / Vocal+Rhy Guitar

i'll send a list of mp3 to the sharedamon gmail soon, then we will choose 4-6 songs to play on this Sunday30-Oct2005, 7-9pm. Ya, ArSing's right that we really need to have a commited direction, here's some of my suggestions, please read & let me know what you think when we discuss later.

1/ Objective, what we wanna do: (why we gotta do this?)
• To create the sound of our band, making music as a group with attitude. (we must believe we can be a much cooler+better band around, to be one of the most important band in HK, Asia & later in the world)
• To publish our music in a way that people can listen & share (mp3, cd, radio, podcast)
• Seriously having Fun and Enjoy ourself, it would be lots of practice & hardwork (communication & patience between us are so goddam important)
• Live shows (to improvise the songs + interact experience, touching people with music rather than just doing our things)

2/ Time Planning 2006:
• if we're going to share that BandRoom (Diamond Hill) from 2006 January,
$2800 (2600+200 electricity) for 8 people = $350 each person for a month.
• Let say, we will be in the band room twice a week, 2-4 hrs, one in the weekday/another in the weekend, there be 8 times (16-32 hrs) to see each other per month, so, avoid playing covers (unless 1 or 2 when we feeling good) or hanging around doing nothing.

Jan: set-up/equipment & room decoration
Feb-Apr: Rehearsal; Making a 6-9 songs demo
May-Jun: Summer Live Shows; collecting advise/comments from expert
Jul: Cool down period, to listen, think & find out Mr.Right recording producer
Aug-Nov: Recording session
Dec: Mixing tapes, Advertising & Production Period

3/ Music Style & Direction:
Its not the limitations of our sound, its just the issue we got to decide and concentrate, I would like to divide our sound into 2 main direction, I will try to write all lyrics in Cantonese,
[A] Depressive Post Rock Moody, Slow/Dark/Sadcore, more arrangment, more than 5 minutes.
similar artists: Sigur Ros, Movie Soundtrack, Tortoise, Mogwai, Portishead, Pink Floyd, SonicYouth, YoLaTengo. (more emotional driven by paul solo, progress from Lee Drum)
kok song: Jack, Loud Hater, You've been Kissing Me, Pepper
[B] Easy Listening England Psychedelic Blues Groovy, nearly 3 minutes, Melodic.
Similar artists: Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Stone Temple Pilots, Nirvana, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Manic Street Prechers, Ben Harper, Soundgarden, TenYearsAfter, Yeah Yeah Yeahs. (LeeDrum/SingBass will become the main structure of songs, less freedom for Paul on this)
kok songs: Dollar Blues, Cigar Cracker, Flowers Mind, People to People, You got your Chaos Manner, Really Dig your own thing, the Beauty of your nothingness

Extra thoughts From your grandaddy Kok -
• Keep up with our inspiration, sharing music and thoughts
• Re-think and discuss at least twice a month. Talk about the weak or strong or new idea or improvements and seek solutions and solve the problems.
• Preview and get comments/suggestions from a wide range of people, friends, musicians, experts or anyone we think who are capable of doing so
• Listen to each other while playing, more together, avoid playing out of the tunes/rhythm/songs
• Push each other harder if possible, everyone contribution will make a glorious effort.
• we need to identify & understand each others point of views! For example: the term - success of this band, to me is definitely not about - being famous or making money -, its about being ourself, make an existing material (recording/performance art) for the people who love or interested in our stuff, which include myself.
• Name of our band: I used Deafhorse(DaFuHoSze) before, and later Chawoko(TeaRun), any other better one or what!?
• I know heres endless long-air kok talk now, hope u dont feel like a school project, But I still insist to keep writing this, coz nothings gonna happen if we just talk and play without OBJECTIVE. I feel Im so lucky to met guys like you. I wanna let you know what I think, & no doubt I wanna know what you think as well.

Lead a Come

2002-11-25T23:02:00.001+08:00

Gone to bed too late,
learning to stop a second wake
Morning shine again,
shine on my face with tears today

Since you passed away,
part of you left, the rest will stay
Take the pain away,
giving to someone that you hate

Come on let down, my friend you
making a noise we're going to
Without a sense i forgot the truth
making the sound i am...

Lead a come when all the sea i surf
Whenever be a cold if i could ease a hand (then again)

Screw your head, squeeze your blood
Let us keep flying
Be my Angel, Be my God,
There's no room for sorrow
