(English translation below) 下雨的瞬間 記憶偷偷折返 這變幻氣候 誰也不可閃避 下雨的瞬間 記憶偷偷折返 思緒在散落 像雨沾濕土地 下雨的瞬間 記憶偷偷折返 都巿在塌落 沉到水底之下 下雨的瞬間 記憶偷偷折返 干涉著信號 無法好好通話 下雨的瞬間 記憶偷偷折返 光線在躁動 流放漆黑街道 下雨的瞬間 記憶偷偷折返 溫暖話語後 停泊多少風暴 下雨的瞬間 記憶偷偷折返 景緻漸斷續 像缺失的歌詞 下雨的瞬間 記憶偷偷折返 無謂又再想起這些事 下雨的瞬間 記憶偷偷折返 下雨的瞬間 記憶偷偷折返 下雨的瞬間 記憶偷偷折返 下雨的瞬間 記憶偷偷折返 怎去避雨總是不夠 怎去面對記憶亂流 怎去預計這樣濕透 追究沒有的然後 怎去避免心情糟透 怎去合上眼睛淚流 下雨的瞬間 記憶偷偷折返 隨著下雨聲響 往昔突然踴動 但已紛飛濛濛 ----- At the raining moment, memories secretly return No one can escape from this changing climate At the raining moment, memories secretly return Thoughts are scattered like rain wets the ground At the raining moment, memories secretly return The city is collapsing and sinking to the bottom of the water At the raining moment, memories secretly return Signals are interfered and communications are blocked At the raining moment, memories secretly return The dark streets are exiled by the restless lights At the raining moment, memories secretly return How many storms hide behind the warm words? At the raining moment, memories secretly return The scenery is getting intermittent like missing lyrics At the raining moment, memories secretly return It's meaningless to think about these things again At the raining moment, memories secretly return At the raining moment, memories secretly return At the raining moment, memories secretly return At the raining moment, memories secretly return How to shelter enough from the rain How to deal with the turbulence of memories How to expect it to be so drenched Looking into an aftermath which never happened How to avoid being in a bad mood How to close eyes and cry At the raining moment, memories secretly return And the past bounces suddenly to the sound of the rain But it has been too scattered

(English translation below) 輾轉於擁擠的車內 而早極厭倦 風景跟思憶在倒回 而早極厭倦 窗中身影逐漸灰濛 而早極厭倦 怎想不起昨晚的夢 而早極厭倦 在沒有風的國度聽得見徬徨 在沒進展的每日總消耗希望 但就算依稀眷戀過往在腦中思考的渴望 在沒有風的國度始終會淡忘 輾轉於擁擠的車內 而早極厭倦 風景跟思憶在倒回 而早極厭倦 奔波於紛擾的街道 而早極厭倦 想歸家但路極迂迴 而早極厭倦 在沒有風的國度聽得見徬徨 在沒進展的每日總消耗希望 但就算依稀眷戀過往在腦中思考的渴望 在沒有風的國度始終會淡忘 隨著光陰的影子溢滿黑夜 世界忽然極傾斜 缺失的四季 散失的氣勢 沉睡中稍作躲避 夢醒的一剎卻尚在原地 在沒有風的國度聽得見徬徨 在沒進展的每日總消耗希望 但就算依稀眷戀過往在腦中思考的渴望 在沒有風的國度始終會淡忘 ----- Traveling in a crowded car Which I am already tired of The scenery and memory are going backwards Which I am already tired of The silhouette in the reflection is blurring Which I am already tired of How come I can't remember the dream last night? Which I am already tired of In a city without wind you can hear the hesitation In the days without progress hope is to extinguish But even if you vaguely miss the desire to think which existed in the past In a city without wind you eventually forget Traveling in a crowded car Which I am already tired of The scenery and memory are going backwards Which I am already tired of Rushing about in cramped streets Which I am already tired of The way to home winds Which I am already tired of When the shadow of time overflows the night The world suddenly tilts Seasons and momentum are lost Trying to escape with a deep sleep But end up waking up in the same place In a city without wind you can hear the hesitation In the days without progress hope is to be lost But even if you vaguely miss the desire to think which existed in the past In a city without wind you eventually forget Or perhaps you have already forgotten

(English translation below) 就算夜晚沒法大聲的嬉戲 就算沒有路燈肯照著自己 在角落裡獨佔這一塊空氣 別要害怕沒有目標的起舞 學會習慣自己不會是最好 一輩子在追趕 太不慣自由舞蹈 恐怕沒法吸引誰的眼睛 恐怕沒法追上誰的背影 沒有好跟差的一晚 相擁互相的破綻 恐怕在最後會迷失自己 恐怕在最後我們總要死 夜裡星光早不璀璨 燒得比煙火燦爛 哪管觀眾已極其零星 就算不甘平凡 大概始終會夢醒 但這晚曾盡興 ----- Even though we can't have fun loudly at night Even though there aren't a street lamp shedding light on us We own exclusively a slice of space in the corner Let's get used to dance without a purpose Let's get used to the fact that we could never be the best Having spent our whole lives chasing for something Dancing freely feels awkward Probably won't be able to attract anyone's gaze Probably won't be able to catch up anyone up In the night without good nor bad Let's embrace the defects of each other Probably will get lost eventually Probably we will die at the end The stars no longer shine at night So let's burn harder than a firework Even though there aren't many audience Even though we don't want to be ordinary We probably will wake up someday But we would have fully had fun tonight

(English translation below) 原諒我這麼過份慌張 種種挫敗太洶湧 其實我的心跳在加速 躲於紊亂拍子中 其實我知所有人終需一死 再傷心也有天忘記 無奈過多想法極糾結 怎裝作沒有想起 世界正缺氧 像沉到水中 太專心呼吸 怎臉掛笑容 叫喊過數次 便成了打擾 再多的開解 只是放縱 不想習慣 不想習慣 不想習慣恐慌 不想習慣 不想習慣 不想習慣恐慌 已太過聽厭 極廉價關心 手機已不響 怎又責怪人 你會告訴我 別沉醉苦楚 彷彿這身軀 選擇了折磨 不想習慣 不想習慣 不想習慣恐慌 不想習慣 不想習慣 不想習慣恐慌 ----- Forgive me for being so nervous But frustration is turbulent Actually my heart has been beating fast Hiding in the chaotic beat I do know that everyone will eventually die With all the sadness be forgotten one day It is just there are too many tangled thoughts Not easy to pretend I am not remembering The world is short of oxygen like sinking in the water How can I smile while concentrating to breathe Shouting became a disturbance after several times Excessive comfort is but an indulgence Don't want to get used to Don't want to get used to Don't want to get used to panicking Don't want to get used to Don't want to get used to Don't want to get used to panicking Tired of hearing tacky messages of kindness But start to blame others when the phone no longer rings You will tell me not to indulge in pain As if this body chose to torture The world is short of oxygen like sinking in the water How can I smile while concentrating to breathe Shouting became a disturbance after several times Excessive comfort is but an indulgence Don't want to get used to Don't want to get used to Don't want to get used to panicking Don't want to get used to Don't want to get used to Don't want to get used to panicking

(English translation below) 怎麼這一刻燈光眼內似砂粒般刺痛 羞恥得想消失於漆黑裡 怎麼這一口香煙灼熱似尷尬的過去 羞恥得想消失於漆黑裡 沒法迴避 還是再軟弱喘氣 這都巿總是太擠迫 沒法迴避 曾是已淡忘感覺 怎麼這刻又再惋惜 那日也許稍出了點錯 那日也許稍出了點錯 那日也許稍出了點錯 便這麼跎蹉 怎麼這一生憧憬塌落似玻璃般破碎 羞恥得想消失於漆黑裡 匆匆加速的光陰紊亂似錯配的節拍 羞恥得想消失於漆黑裡 沒法迴避 期望過竭力呼喊 怎麼最終合上嘴巴 沒法迴避 隨著那熱情消散 此刻那音量已沙啞 沒法迴避 還是再軟弱喘氣 這都巿總是太擠迫 沒法迴避 曾是已淡忘感覺 怎麼這刻又再惋惜 那日也許稍出了點錯 那日也許稍出了點錯 那日也許稍出了點錯 便這麼跎蹉 忽然想起 忽然想起 忽然想起 怎能阻止記起 ----- Why this lighting irks like a sand in the eye So shameful that I want dissolve in the darkness Why this cigarette burns like an embarrassment in the past So shameful that I want dissolve in the darkness Again panting out of weakness, this city is way too crowded A forgotten feeling and why do I feel pity again On that day perhaps there were some mistakes On that day perhaps there were some mistakes On that day perhaps there were some mistakes Hence my life has been being wasted The anticipation to the life has collapsed into broken glass So shameful that I want dissolve in the darkness The tempo of the time has sped up to the mismatched beats So shameful that I want dissolve in the darkness Looked forward to shout loudly but eventually shut my month With the enthusiasm faded the voice is no longer clear Again panting out of weakness, this city is way too crowded A forgotten feeling and why do I feel pity again On that day perhaps there were some mistakes On that day perhaps there were some mistakes On that day perhaps there were some mistakes Hence my life has been being wasted If it is recalled suddenly What is the way to forget?

(English translation below) 世界脫落一塊 沒法不想起破洞 數個約定粉碎 落了空 你訴說著一切 是你應得的結局 細節滿是傷痛 別碰觸 不相信聽到了這事情 不知道這剎那如何反應 即使你遮蓋了挫折倦容 沒法掩飾心中疼痛 也許 未必可以懂 未必可以懂 但很想給你無聲的抱擁 在相擁瞬間 或減輕刺痛 也許 未必可以懂 未必可以懂 但很想給你無聲的抱擁 在相擁瞬間 或減輕刺痛 你說接受終結 但已經不堪盼望 怕你厭倦安慰 沒再講 你看似是灑脫 但也稍顯得顧忌 怕說錯甚麼了 又記起 不相信聽到了這事情 不知道這剎那如何反應 即使你遮蓋了挫折倦容 沒法掩飾心中疼痛 也許 未必可以懂 未必可以懂 但很想給你無聲的抱擁 在相擁瞬間 或減輕刺痛 也許 未必可以懂 未必可以懂 但很想給你無聲的抱擁 在相擁瞬間 或減輕刺痛 明白這刻過份憶記 然後有天不想忘記 介意旅程已結束 不過總會著手整理行李 也許 未必可以懂 未必可以懂(當黑夜太灰暗) 但很想給你無聲的抱擁(午夜冷得過份) 在相擁瞬間 或減輕刺痛(天空漸遠 一切也彷彿正下沉) 也許 未必可以懂 未必可以懂(即使未必不安) 但很想給你無聲的抱擁(也別過於匆忙) 在相擁瞬間 或減輕刺痛(或某天 在破曉之際會晴朗) ----- A piece of the world has fallen, and it's hard not to think of the hole Several promises shattered and fell to nothing You say everything is the ending you deserve The details are full of pain so don't enquire Can't believe I heard this Can't to react well at this moment Even if you cover up your frustration and tiredness You can't hide the pain in your heart I may not understand But I would like to offer you a silent hug And hope the ache will be relieved at the moment of embrace I may not understand But I would like to offer you a silent hug And hope the ache will be relieved at the moment of embrace You said you have accepted it is over, but you can't afford to look forward Afraid you'll get tired of comforting, so I don't talk anymore You seem to have let go, but are also a little reserved Afraid of saying something wrong that you will remember again Can't believe I heard this Can't to react well at this moment Even if you cover up your frustration and tiredness You can't hide the pain in your heart I may not understand But I would like to offer you a silent hug And hope the ache will be relieved at the moment of embrace I may not understand But I would like to offer you a silent hug And hope the ache will be relieved at the moment of embrace Indeed now we remember too hard But one day we will hope not to forget We do mind the journey is over But one day we will start packing the luggages I may not understand (when the night is too dark) But I would like to offer you a silent hug (and it's too cold at midnight) And hope the ache will be relieved at the moment of embrace (the sky is getting farther and everything seems to be sinking) I may not understand (even if it is hard not to be anxious) But I would like to offer you a silent hug (still please don't be too hasty) And hope the ache will be relieved at the moment of embrace (perhaps one day the sky will clear up in the dawn)

about

(Lyrics and translation available at the pages of respective tracks)

Hong Kong electronic musician FINGERGAP is often accused of walking too fast.

The lyrics of the musician's first original album "Shan Shan 160" are all about stumbling through life, but just as he is enthusiastic about translating Chinese love songs into rapid and robotic Footwork tunes, his new music, while exasperated and melancholic, still manages to maintain a high speed. The tracks in the album are presented chronologically from a dawn, in which Kazakh-born singer Fedor Yury's placid voice is deliberately misplaced on the hasty and turbulent beats of Footwork music, as a synecdoche for a restless yearning to rush through the crowded city.

The 160 in "Shan Shan 160" represents the frigid and precise footwork/ juke rhythm of 160 beats per minute; while "Shan Shan" in Cantonese may mean to stagger ('跚跚') or to lag ('姍姍'), the latter being a ubiquitous given name in Hong Kong, reflecting a frustration of being born mediocre in a city where sluggish and maudlin music never ceases to play.

The album interweaves the silky melody and texture of Cantonese songs with the reckless rhythm and speed of footwork music. The final song, "May Not Understand," represents a dawn after midnight; the cold electronic synth and instrumentals, as well as the hurried percussion, somehow manage to give serene warmth like a rising sun.
