笑住喊
《笑住喊》是 Gareth.T 汤令山继《劲浪漫超温馨》后推出的全新粤语作品。如题,新曲主题就是关于喊( “喊”即粤语里的“哭泣” )的美好。面对以及抒发自已的负面情绪从来都不是易事,尤其是当社会上有很多人都仍将羞耻和内疚感和哭泣挂上关系。Gareth 就想以这首单曲与这种落后的思想抗衡,宣扬落泪能带来的疗愈。即使泪在流,亦可以笑出来。笑中有泪的主题贯穿全首单曲,而作曲本身那种富有九十至千禧年代的质感亦为单曲增添意思。歌词则林海峰填写,贯彻阿Jan 的风格,既惹笑亦同时能引人深思。
笑住喊 is Gareth.T’s sophomore Cantonese song, following last year’s hit song hyperromantic. Released almost a year after the last, this new track speaks in the positive aspects of crying. Although crying is more accepted in 2022, some people still associate shame and guilt with this expression of sadness. Gareth combats this backwards ideology, highlighting the benefits and therapy that crying gives and contrasting the bittersweet emotions of laughing while crying. The theme of comedy through tragedy is apparent, and is intentionally wrapped up in a throwback late 90s early 00s production and songwriting style, helmsd by Gareth himself. The lyrics are written by HK music legend Jan Lamb, whose lyrics blend perfectly with the serious yet humorous production.
