by the realisation of how ALL the plastic we've ever used in our lifetime,
are still on planet earth - either in landfills or floating around in the ocean.
Read more of my rants on this!
Do you remember this picture I posted?
A plastic mannequin head, bruised and battered, eyes wide open, waiting.... waiting... waiting...
She's waiting for something.
We all know the wait is forever.
Plastic is forever.
And so I wrote a song for her.
This is the first time I'm uploading an original song, played in the bedroom :)
You can download the mp3 of this Youtube version :)
Plastic Mannequin Love
Music and Lyrics by Tay Kewei
Im writing a song for the universe
Im sending it out to space
If there was a boy who could hear my thoughts
Across the street in the window display
Im writing a song for the universe
To rescue me someday
I never had the chance to tell my love
I loved him since that suit in grey
Im sailing, sailing
In this great pacific garbage patch
My love for you is forever
Nothing will break me down
Im sailing, sailing
You are nowhere to be found
I believe one day youll join me
And well sail round and round, round and round
Oh is that you I see
Illusions they keep haunting me
O! tragedy

《塑胶假人恋》
(我)要写 一 首歌 献 给这 宇 宙
我(要) 将 它发 送 太 空
若有 个 男孩 它能 听 得 见
就在 对街 的 橱窗 柜 里 边
(我)要写 一 首歌 献 给这 宇 宙
幸 免 那某 一 天
我不 曾有 机会 能告 诉 它
我爱 它自 从那 身 灰
我在 漂 流 漂 流
在 这大 太平 洋 垃 圾 堆
给你 的爱 会 是永远
海枯 石烂 都 不 变
我在 漂 流 漂 流
你 的踪 影无 处 寻
我 相信 最终 会 和 你
在 这 里 绕呀 绕, 绕呀 绕
哦 是 否 看见 你
幻 想它 总 是 纠 缠 我
喔! 是悲剧
p/s Can there be a better pun to my bonnie lying over the ocean?
Pardon my frankness but i think the word for word substitution you did for some of the parts make the whole thing hard to comprehen. I wrote a draft of the chinese lyrics but i am not totally pleased with it yet and unlike the original, it does not speak against plastic.
If you noticed, kewei made references to the great pacific garbage patch, it sailing round and round and "nothing will break me down"
it sounds great babe. :)
@a_ndy: No offence taken. So why not write something regarding plastic?
coz i just can't fit it in when i started. hahaha.. will give it a try again when i am free.
我全力向世界呐喊
等待一个回应
我用我这生所有的时间
等待一颗真心
我全力向世界呐喊
传达我的心意
如果你能够了解我
请回应我的心
在原地等待
当全世界都持续转动
也许没有个好结局
但我绝不会灰心
在原地等待
你何时会到来
我相信会有那一天
我们在这里相爱，在这里
哦，传来了声音
不知那人是不是你
哦，心好紧
Although a bit generic, I figured that it's sing-able nevertheless. Didn't replay the vid to recollect the tune, so I would say kiwitay wrote a sticky. ;)
thanks for the chinese lyrics andy and nony! it is AWESOME.
Just to leave behind a thought on plastics for you guys and myself. I believe this is the future path for Singapore to take - promoting the production and use of bio-degradable plastics (carrier bags in particular). More details in the following link.

This coupled with the building of compost reactors and carbon dioxide sequestration process-flow
can be an integrated solution for our refuse disposal problem.
As for how Plastic Mannequin Love can play a part... sing it to government officials and angel investors whenever chance presents itself :D

dear SMardhi,
thank you for your comment! :)
yes the 2nd verse was added only into the final album version!
here it is:
I'm writing a song for our planet earth
Where green and blue collide
But the jungles are concrete and the sea's disguised
By all the stuff that got us by
I'm writing a song for our planet earth
To keep in sight and keep in mind
The trash that you owned that you just threw out
Are still here singing out loud
