Top 12 Finest Songs by Composer Hamlet Truong

In this life, loving and being loved is the greatest happiness. And the one we love is often referred to as a lover, a sweetheart, a partner,... But sometimes, we don't call them a lover, but rather, someone beloved. Between love and beloved, although both are special emotions towards the other person, understanding them deeply reveals their distinct meanings:

'A lover's love fades when it's over, without any regrets
But those beloved will cherish each other forever, throughout life'

To cherish someone means to dedicate our feelings, longing, but still unable to be with that person. There's a significant difference between loving and cherishing. Love is possession, but cherishing is sacrifice. Sacrificing a lifetime to remember each other. Sacrificing the youthful days to create the most beautiful memories for each other. Only to forever remain not belonging to each other. Not daring to say the word 'love' to the person, but only 'beloved'. Loving the person for a thousand lifetimes.

'Now there's nothing left to regret. It's now the final moment
Tomorrow my beloved will depart to the end of the sky...'

This is considered one of Hamlet Truong's most meaningful songs, warmly welcomed by the audience. Surely, with those heartfelt lyrics, 'Beloved' will be a great song to share emotions with you.

The song 'Came Later' used to be one of the famous songs performed by singer Ưng Hoàng Phúc. Later on, composer Hamlet Trương also sang his own song 'Came Later'. The song talks about the feeling of regret and anguish of a young man when he becomes the one who came later, only able to watch the person he loves happily with someone else.

'In this world, there are two things that cannot be hidden
One is when drunk, two is when already in love'

Those meaningful and profound lyrics are one of the factors that impress the listeners and viewers. In life, true love is not about possession, clinging to each other until the end of time. Sometimes, love is simply silent sacrifice, watching the person you love beside someone else. As long as that person is happy, it is a great comfort for those less fortunate, slow in love as those who came later.

Singer: Ưng Hoàng Phúc/ Hamlet Trương.

'Dust Flies into Eyes' is one of the hit songs by female singer Phạm Quỳnh Anh, composed by Hamlet Trương himself. The song depicts the heartbreak of a girl when she watches her lover say goodbye and walk away. 'Dust flies into eyes but I won't cry'. Those poignant lyrics, engraved in the hearts of listeners, empathize with those who have experienced similar pain. No matter how much a girl tries to appear strong, after every broken relationship, she is always the one hurt the most.

'Silently watching you turn away, dust flies into eyes but I won't cry!
Even though I love you endlessly to every single cell'

With heartfelt and soulful lyrics combined with Phạm Quỳnh Anh's sweet and expressive voice, 'Dust Flies into Eyes' has undoubtedly left a profound impression on the listeners and contributed to the fame of composer Hamlet Trương.

Singer: Phạm Quỳnh Anh.

Love is often full of happiness, but sometimes it's filled with obstacles. We insist on loving someone, insisting on staying beside someone, even though we're just a substitute. 'Law for Substitutes' writes about that heartbreaking love story. Emotions are often ambiguous and difficult to control. You may love someone, but that doesn't mean you can prevent yourself from having feelings for someone else. And of course, they call those who come later, hoping to enjoy a bit of warmth, the remaining affection, substitutes. It hurts, it's sad. But still accepted. Only to later, drift apart...

'You already have a lover, you've told me that thousands of times
And I've nodded in acceptance thousands of times too
You really like me, but liking and loving are two completely different concepts, my dear!
People may feel happy when they're with someone they like
But true peace only comes from the one you love
I'll be your boyfriend, that's the final decision
We'll become substitutes.
And I have a law for you, the substitute will forever be just a substitute.
Look, you've already nodded in agreement before I finished speaking'

Singer: Hamlet Trương.

In life, there are those who, unwillingly, stand behind love, behind happiness. They are called the third wheel, deemed unnecessary in relationships that were already complicated. Who truly understands that sorrow? Loving someone is not wrong. Love is never regrettable. The mistake lies only in one thing: choosing the wrong person at the wrong time.

'Her, Him, and Her' are the choked-up words of a girl when she abandons that painful love, unintentionally becoming the third party herself. Amidst life's vastness, loving each other but destined to be strangers. If only one had come first, if only one were the first, perhaps the ending would be blissful and happy. However, life is inherently transient, fated but not indebted. So the last one steps away, yet the heart still carries the heavy burden of melancholy. It's also a sacrifice in love. Sacrificing for the one you love to be completely happy.

'Go back to her, please, believe me
She still needs you...'

Singer: Phạm Quỳnh Anh.

Adding another song composed and performed by Hamlet Trương, 'Everyone Changes Eventually' is a musical piece accompanied by a book of essays of the same name penned by Hamlet and Iris Cao. As one of the beloved songs, 'Everyone Changes Eventually' tells us about the years of two people after parting ways. Every confession, every word spoken is the sincerest, simplest, and most nostalgic, making our hearts sink, settling down to contemplate about human nature:

'Humans are like pendulums between life and tears
Much joy, now many tears'

Perhaps after each breakup, everyone changes to adapt to new life, forgetting the old days, forgetting someone they once loved. It's not heartlessness, but it's the way we avoid sadness, avoid reality. Then one day, when we have calmed down to smile at those memories, that's when we stop remembering, stop feeling pain. And eventually, we become someone else...

Singer: Hamlet Trương.

Some pains linger for years, some unfinished love affairs are still unforgettable. That's what the song 'Don't Be Like You' contains, carrying heavy confessions. Don't Be Like You - always remembering someone in the past. Don't Be Like You - still unable to let go and look towards the future. Don't Be Like You - still haunted by this broken love. All are the sincerest, most poignant, and loneliest confessions.

Meeting each other in life is fortunate. But to stay together forever is fate. Suppressing the pain of past love affairs to continue walking on the path ahead, the song 'Don't Be Like You' will be like a kindred spirit, sharing emotions for those who still contain, carry the sadness of memories, of someone in the past.

'You've wasted many days and months to trust in me
Then wasted a lot of trust to realize that you shouldn't believe in everlasting love'

Singer: Hamlet Trương.

When feelings develop for someone, we always have a desire to stay by their side forever, to walk the same path together. However, there's a silent love, understanding that it's love, it's affection, but words remain unspoken, and all we can do is 'leave our love be.'

The song 'Leave Our Love Be' was composed based on the essay of the same name by Hamlet Trương and Iris Cao. Garnering love from listeners and carrying meaningful lyrics, 'Leave Our Love Be' once became one of the famous songs, establishing the name of Hamlet Trương and his literary work. Hence, the song 'Leave Our Love Be' deserves to be listed as one of the best songs that Hamlet Trương has ever composed and performed.

'Because I love you. Because I love you
I'm willing to let you go to the farthest horizon
Because there are many dreams, many years ahead
If we love each other, then leave it be'

Singer: Hamlet Trương.

'Is there any road long and wide enough
For you and me to walk together for a long time
Tomorrow if we're no longer together, how should I cope
You say don't love me anymore
Forget everything about me
What will I do if the sun stops rising tomorrow'

Love is inherently stubborn. Despite knowing the pain of loving someone, we still accept exchanging sorrows to be with someone we constantly miss. 'Keep Tears for Later' is a reminder, a promise for the days ahead: no matter how much we long for the present, how eagerly we anticipate meeting again, we will still keep these affections, sorrows, yearnings, and tears for the day of reunion.

With the emotional, poignant voice of Hamlet Trương and the meaningful lyrics, 'Keep Tears for Later' will surely speak for you in those lonely days...

Singer: Hamlet Trương.

'Why love when now it's nothing
Then no farewell needed
Hastily turning away...'

It's often said, if one knew it would hurt so much, it's better not to know each other, not to love each other, only to be apart again. However, in life, no one can predict what will happen, especially in love, people often persist. Persist in loving and being with the one they love, even if there's separation, what's left here are just fragments of memories.

'Eventually Forgotten' as a consolation, encouragement for those hearts still lost, confused after parting with the one they once loved wholeheartedly. Time is the greatest remedy to heal all past wounds. Then one day, we will forget, forget to continue living. Then we will love again, but love someone else...

Singer: Hamlet Trương.

'Why do we grow up to say we love someone,
Why does loving someone make them change?'

Love doesn't always reciprocate the same sincerity we give. When we first step into love, we're filled with promises of rosy, happy days. However, only those who have experienced love truly understand that love is full of dreams but also bitter moments.

'Love and Tears', as the title suggests, portrays the darker side of love. It's fortunate to find someone suitable to bond with throughout our youth and beyond. But in love, not everyone is so lucky. We love, they leave. And then, all that remains in the heart are deep scars of longing. The years ahead demand resilience as we walk a path no longer imprinted with their image.

Singer: Hamlet Trương.

Youth is the most beautiful time in one's life. And youth becomes even more beautiful, more memorable, when devoted to someone.
'Devoting Youth to Someone' is the latest composition by musician Hamlet Trương performed by the famous singer Thủy Tiên. Currently, the song is receiving a lot of listens, shares, and is expected to rank high on the Vietnamese music charts.

'Devoting Youth to Someone' reminisces about the days of youth, the early years of life spent pouring one's feelings into someone. The initial feelings are always the purest and most innocent. Whether that love is reciprocated or not, whether it's complete or not, we never regret the most beautiful years of our lives, spent loving someone.

'It's better for you not to speak, and just breathe in the sky
You're just a dream from the past'

Singer: Thủy Tiên.
