"Under Mount Fuji" is one of Eason Chan's classic works, with lyrics by Albert Leung and a moving, melancholic melody. I also greatly admire this song!
This song tells the story of how two people gracefully part ways after a relationship reaches its end. It doesn't depict heart-wrenching arguments, but rather a restrained, deep affection that leads to an unavoidable farewell.
The lyrics mention, "Why do old acquaintances, in the end, fail to become old friends?" expressing a sense of regret: two people who were once so close couldn't stay together until the end, and even struggle to remain friends.
"Why can I hold you, yet not truly feel you?" speaks of a relationship where, despite being together, they can't genuinely possess each other.
The overall emotion of the song is: cherished, deeply loved, reluctantly separated, and still blessed.
This is why many people are reminded of their own stories when listening to this song—it sings about a mature perspective on love: it's not that there's no love, but that at the end, only blessings remain.
