陳鍵鋒- 捨不得 Lyrics
Credits: Lyrics from here

我是真的捨不得
捨不得讓你遠走
捨不得讓你的一切變成了泡沫
黑夜都逃離了燈火

眼淚一顆一顆不停流
流到嘴邊化爲了虛空
空中還有一點點溫柔
是你的放縱

思念一片一片地拼湊
湊成你最驕傲的輪廓
我們到底犯了什麽錯
愛情讓人落魄

我是真的捨不得
捨不得讓你遠走
捨不得讓你的一切變成了泡沫
黑夜都逃離了燈火

我是真的捨不得
捨不得讓你難過
捨不得讓你的溫度在手心陷落
分手是真的不快樂

每次夜色降臨都感到冷清
逃進空洞人群

那一種快樂才讓人放心
被動地隨你悲喜

我是真的捨不得
捨不得讓你遠走
捨不得讓你的一切變成了泡沫
黑夜都逃離了燈火

我是真的捨不得
捨不得讓你難過
捨不得讓你的溫度在手心陷落
分手是真的不快樂

MY THOUGHTS: This MV is of Sammul singing in the studio. I think it's a more enhanced version, but nonetheless the song is a nice ballad and really pleasant to the ears!



II. Sammul @ cne 2005 singing Eason's song "Bicycle"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIh8NRzTnVg

MY THOUGHTS: I think he sang the song pretty well until the very end because he couldn't sing reach the high note haha. As for the rest of the song, I think he did a decent job singing it live. Not bad, not bad at all for an Eason song...



III. Survivor's Law Themesong- Sammul Chan (live)
忘記傷害 (禁毒廣告創作比賽首播會) - 陳鍵鋒

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7xfzOmV6sE

MY THOUGHTS: This is a must-hear! I have to say, I really like Sammul's rendition of the themesong, much moreso than Raymond's version. I thought Raymond's version of the song was ok, but I never really liked it, but after hearing this version, I really like the song! Sammul is able to lift the song up, giving it more melody. Raymond's vocals, though while being strong and deep, it drags the song out.


IV. 孩子，讓我愛- Sammul Chan MV

Sammul's Live Performance of this song at 4:27

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QQCENZiEZ4

MY THOUGHTS: This MV is for a movie about motherly love staring Kiki Sheung, Damian Lau, and Sammul himself. I think it is an alright song. Some parts of it is somewhat gospel-like for me. The movie looks very touching though.



V. 陳鍵鋒-旋旋轉MV

MY THOUGHTS: This MV is for a children's program show. His singing vocals is quite smooth and clear.

So is Sammul a good singer? I have to say, I really like his singing from the videos and songs above! His Mandarin is also pretty good, but I like his Cantonese songs more. I can't say he's a great singer along the ranks of the top top singers, but he would make some awesome ballads and nice themesongs or sub-themesongs as demonstrated by the song 'Click 中你'.

I read that he is going to sing the themesong of The Four with Raymond, Ron, and Kenneth. But watch they give all the good parts to Raymond and Ron, and Sammul ends up with like one line and the chorus with everyone, which would be sad since he's the best singer out of all of them actually.

So what do you think? Is Sammul a good singer? a decent singer? or just alright? Share your opinion in comments section!
