約莫半年前在朋友的推薦下聽到了加拿大樂團Stars的作品〈One More Night〉，感動之下又去找了其他作品來聽，其中一首就是〈Your Ex-Lover Is Dead〉，如歌名所述，歌曲的內容是在描述兩個已經分手的男女在某個機緣下再度碰面，然而卻因為雙方的無能為力（或者無力再有任何作為）而必須再度分離錯失彼此。歌詞寫的是他們的故事，卻也像在說我擁有的故事。
當年曾經與一個善良的女孩真心相對，然而卻因為我的疏忽與放棄使得她認為不能夠再跟我繼續下去，結果就這樣錯過了三年，三年之中雖然不曾與她再見面，但卻總是在夜深人靜之時想到那一段美好的感情。幾次流著眼淚趴在桌上重複播著這首歌，懷想當年可以完成和沒有完成的那些事；幾次試圖打電話過去聯絡她，卻總是連她的聲音都聽不到。彷彿與陳奕迅〈愛情轉移〉〈好久不見〉〈粵語殘片〉等幾首歌對照一般，它們都常在說一個關於離棄和懷想的故事，也總是像歌詞裡面寫到的，最後只剩下想念，沒有共同相處的更美好未來。
且附歌詞：
God that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said 'yes I think we've met before'
In that instant it started to pour,
Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of the time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name…
This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
Tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in
Now you're outside me
You see all the beauty
Repent all your sin
It's nothing but time and a face that you lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose
I'll write you a postcard
I'll send you the news
From a house down the road from real love…
Live through this, and you won't look back…
Live through this, and you won't look back…
Live through this, and you won't look back…
There's one thing I want to say, so I'll be brave
You were what I wanted
I gave what I gave
I'm not sorry I met you
I'm not sorry it's over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to say
I'm not sorry there's nothing to say...
