Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “往事常牽掛” by Teresa Teng
“往事常牽掛” (Memories Always Haunt Us) by Teresa Teng is a song of longing and reflection. Its melody is melancholic and haunting, with a distinct Chinese sound. It speaks of how memories of a past love accompany us wherever we go, even when we try to forget. No matter the passage of time, the pain and longing are constantly present. Despite the loneliness and longing, it becomes a cherished part of the singer’s life. The song is about the struggle we all face to move on from the regrets and pain of past loves, but being held back to some extent due to the bittersweet memories of those we’ve left behind.
