Andy Lau - 答案就是你 (The Answer is you) 1993

Speaking of the 4 heavenly kings the last time, in the early 90s, there were 4 solo male singers that caused an extreme craze in cantopop. The media was talking about them, they get mobs of fans chasing after their cars, their fans get into arguements and physical fights over their tense rivalry.  Their albums go quadriple platinum the day it's released and causing line ups at record stores.  For most of the 90s, they reigned the cantopop industry and leave everyone else in the dust.  The 10 yearly most popular songs are mainly shared amongst the four of them.  It made things tough for other artists as the four of them topped the charts for a total of 23 out of the 52 weeks in 1993.  Companies wanted to replicate their success and ended up unsuccessful.  This was what started the rampant idol manufacturing and over commercialization in cantopop which ultimately had a hand in leading to its own demise.  Andy Lau was one of the heavenly kings.  He was initially a very popular TV actor, then turned into a successful movie star and singer. ...he gives off a smooth boyish Tom Cruise vibe and was often called the chinese Tom Cruise.  His specialty is mainly catchy romantic love ballads.  The Answer Is You was a #1 hit as expected.  The song is a european style ballad.   30 years since his debut, Andy Lau is still very popular today with mega sold out concerts in Chinese speaking communities in Asia.

Andy Lau - 答案就是你 (The Answer is you)
From album: 答案就是你 (The Answer is you) 1993

Lyrics:
Why would I love, why would I open a closed heart
Why would I be intoxicated, soul and body cannot stay sober
Why the world that was lonesome, became a warm comforting dream
My past was only a pointless existence
Why is the present a passionate lust for life

Chorus:
Very clearly, the answer is you.
Do you know that my eyes, when looking at you,
I discover that my heart can only fall for you,
as if everything was predestined.
Very clearly, the answer is you.
Do you know this heart, from the night I met you,
I was certain that I will love you my entire life.
Inexplicable surprise (cannot be stopped)


Lost Perplexed Searching Finding, the past is always alone
Coming Going Turning in circles, wasted half my life
Searching for an answer, searching for a life that I can feel attached to
Just as I was endlessly depressed, who knew you'd fortunately drifted near
