[Cinepoly, June 1994]
Faye had the courage to be innovative and influential as she put forth "Random Thinking," probably one of the most important albums in HK music history. At the time that "Random Thinking" came out, its sound was a departure from the similiar grounds of Canto-Pop. Even though it did not bring on a revolutionary change in the HK music scene, it's contribution to the growth of the HK music industry and its influence on new and old artists alike are not to be underestimated, as you can see the change and hear it the music today...
Every song in this album is great....starting with the title song, to the great hit, "Dream Lover," to the amazingly pleasant and greatly written "Sleepwalk." The title track and "Know Thyself In Understanding Oneself" are respectively covers of Cocteau Twins's Bluebeard and Know Who You Are At Every Age. "Dream Lover" is the cover of the Cranberries Dreams. The Cocteau Twin's loved Faye's imterpretation of their song so much that they wanted to collabrate with Faye (which they did in Faye's later album and in CT's own album). The song "Pledge" was written and composed by Faye herself. Fans and critics alike praised ah Faye and were captivated by her talents. Wow! It just feels so good to see such a great album.

Random Thinking
Feel like crying, feel like laughing, and feel like jumping
Feel like yelling, feel like screaming, I feel like getting
Think about a certain person for no reason
Think into a gloom-shrouded heaven and earth
I also want to see no one any longer
Want to break through the red dust
Think about the wind, think about the rain, and think about getting drunk
Want to be crooked, want to be right, fast getting drunk
Who is it that I want to kiss for no reason
Under the wind the flowers the snow and the moon
Who is it that I want to love for no reason
What is it that I want to continuously love
If I want to go afar
I'll imagine not loving you
Think until I frown for no reason
Think about you, think about you, want to fly
Love makes people beautiful
But will it also make people think randomly for no reason
Think about this, think about that
How good is tomorrow's weather
I no longer want to say nothing again
Can I love another person all over again
I have said I don't want to say anything I don't want to say anything again
Tomorrow I need to wear the cassock
Can't think of it I won't think and that's it
I beg him I hate him I love him
I have said I don't want to say anything I don't want to say anything again

Pledge (誓言)
I thought that we could be together forever
Lots of times, I think of this and I don't want to fall asleep
If you could give me a sincere certainty
It doesn't matter; nothing matters to me
The road ahead is perhaps not too clear
After I proceed on confidently, perhaps I'll find it exhausting
Perhaps I'll want to stop but can't stop
The darker the sky becomes, the more tired my heart becomes
I saw your face, listened to your unvoiced pledge
At that moment I discovered
That one day I walked past you and didn't catch your gaze
I take my heart and give it to you to console
Is it possible for me not to have to take it back?
[Please] don't think that an assiduous heart is unbreakable
[Please] don't think that nothing matters to me

Sky Like Earth
When the clear wind drifts by in the long night
When the sky surrounds only you
In my sea of thoughts, I hope you have thought of me
When the deep eve can in no way be knocked broken
When the painted darkness gathers no strength to understand me
I can only pretend, that it's still you tightly embracing me
But the man I have parted with
Are you alone in the deepness of the night
Will you fall in love with someone else out of boredom?
Seeing you, kissing you,
those are the ways to possess heaven and earth
How I hate, every time,
for long or for very short that we must part
Waiting for you, I will wait for you,
regardless of parting between heaven and earth
Each and every kiss, I will keep,
and wait until I can kiss you again

Dream Lover (夢中人)
The man in my dream
I hug you tight for one minute
And kiss you for ten minutes
Stranger
How have you entered my heart
Creating such excitement
Seemed like I have fallen madly in love with you before
I have never been so close to you as now
My thoughts are beginning to go wild
Why do you attack me all of a sudden
And enter into my boring dream
Arousing a wave of shock
LA~ LA LA LA~ LA LA LA~
The man in my dream
So much wanted you to be real
My heart can no longer resist
Searching in my dream
I am waiting at this minute
To kiss you for ten thousand minutes
Seemed like I have fallen madly in love with you before
Now that I am so close to you all the more
My thoughts are beginning to go wild
Why do you attack me all of a sudden
And enter into my boring dream
Arousing a wave of shock
Searching in my dream
I hug you tight for one minute
My heart can no longer resist
The man in my dream
I am waiting at this minute
To create excitement in my heart
Excitement in my heart
LA LA LA~ LA~ LA~ LA LA~

Sleepwalk (夢遊)
Looking at his eyes thinking of someone else
He stays but not his heart
Looking at night lights but thinking of white clouds
This night this way is too boring
Yet that time that night was so captivating
*Can't understand the noisy jesting
Dazed amidst the crowd Seems like I'm all hollowed out
Empty arms seem to embrace
Appears to be me but it's not
Yet I have my own dreams to make
#Sleepwalk to your feelings there won't be boundaries
The sky and earth appear so free
People actually love to sleepwalk
There's too much cursing when awake
This flighty reality I feel I really own a piece of
Let my moods develop
Immersed in the bustle but my heart isn't here
Mumbling to myself, inspiration is flying
Sitting in the car as though flying across fields
This stifles boredom but my moods are so entangled
(repeat *# )
Sky and earth are free
(repeat *##)
Love to sleepwalk Freer than sky and earth
Only sleepwalk Find no boundaries
Need to sleepwalk Freer than sky and earth
Let me sleepwalk Find no boundaries
