August 2016

After not watching Mayday perform for 3 years, the audience was at an all-time high. Most stood, grooved & jumped throughout the concert, whilst waving the centrally controlled light sticks. The “Lalala” during 憨人, white flashlights, encore chants, singing and cheering loudly, was something that took them by surprise.

Well done, Singapore. You know when to step out of your dormant mode. Mayday is one of the only artiste that can get audience springing from their seats to stand and jump from the very first song till the very end.

That’s probably what we call releasing all your energy after bottling up for so long.

如果我们不曾相遇，我又会是在哪里?

This was something that I was pondering whilst at the concert.

This sentence not just pertains to your loved ones, family members and friends, but also, if these 5 guys did not appear in my life 15 years ago, how different would my life have been?

他们是越老越吃香. They are in their 40s (only Masa is 39), 没有俊男，没有6块腹肌，和随时会走音的主唱, 老梗一玩再玩, but the fan base has been growing steadily, from young fans to old fans.

They “lie” quietly in our CD Players, MP3 Players and accompany us all these years, so it isn’t really surprising why the fans return them with such generous spontaneity during their concerts. This is what the artistes need most as encouragement.

It’s a 2-way relationship.

Without Mayday, many of us may still be just resigned to our fates and daren’t take the chance to really venture into doing what we like, much less to follow our hearts and our dreams.

You may say they are just strangers, but yes, strangers close to our hearts.

We do not know one another in real life, yet they are like the catalyst for some change in all of us.

They are very low profile, down-to-earth & 一步一脚印 kinda artiste. They are like 细水长流型 to us, just like how wine tastes better over time.

Their songs’ genre might have changed a little over the years as they go through different stages in life. It doesn’t matter if they are commercialised, as long as they keep to the pact of singing till 80 years old. Their uniqueness lies in the fact that their songs can just keep you going for a very long time.

What is so nice about a Mayday concert?

It is the atmosphere, strength, inspiration and positive energy that you can draw from their songs, tonnes of fun and laughter from their “colourful jokes” and “rubbish talk” too.

The relationship between Mayday and their fans is really like what they label as “没大没小”. It’s indeed 没距离感, they are 平民百姓 just like us。

五月天的精神是什么?

就是”憨人” 这首歌..

They draw comfort, solace and encouragement from the sea of blue too. The bobbing light sticks represent thousands and thousands of people who love their music.

To the fans, that sea of Blue and Number 5 mean something more significant.

The 5 of them comes as a package, just like you can’t lose any finger on your hand.

They are a positive source of energy.

They changed the rundown a little on Day 2 and it was really so good to hear 盛夏光年 & 雌雄同体, 超人, 志明与春娇!

Like they said, after the concert, we need to go back to our daily lives and 好好的过我们的生活。。

No matter how time passes, just remember that we must be 倔强 & 顽固 enough to stay true to who we are.

憨人, 人生海海, 倔强，一颗苹果, can keep us going for some time.

Just don’t make us wait another 3 yrs before the next gig.

我最爱的大叔们， 谢谢你们出现在我的生命里…

敬我们的下一个15年,20年，30年….

干杯。Read More →
