"Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" (Chinese: 海闊天空; Jyutping: hoi2 fut3 tin1 hung1; lit. "sea wide sky empty") is a song written and recorded by the Hong Kong rock band Beyond. Released in 1993 on the Cantonese album Rock and Roll, the song was and remains massively popular. The song has been also translated as "Under a Vast Sky", "Ocean Wide Sky High", "Vast Seas, Clear Skies", and"Clear Skies, Vast Ocean". The song is an anthem of Cantonese rock music and one of Beyond's signature songs. It has been adopted for several events in Cantonese-speaking regions, such as the Artistes 512 Fund Raising Campaign for the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, and most prominently as the unofficial anthem of the 2014 Hong Kong protests.

  • 《海闊天空》是香港搖滾樂隊Beyond的歌曲之一，於1993年創作，收錄於《樂與怒》大碟，亦是香港電台電視節目《驕陽歲月》的主題曲，作曲、作詞及主音均為樂隊主唱黃家駒。歌曲以追求音樂夢想為主題，也滲入了Beyond成立10年的感情。 Beyond同時亦錄製了日文版的單曲《遙かなる夢に～Far away～》。此曲製作完成後不足2個月，黃家駒於日本意外身故，成為其絕響作。及後見於籌款節目、示威活動等多種場合，至今仍然在香港及華人地區保持極高知名度。 2017年，香港電台舉辦「摯愛20真經典」票選，此曲入選華語金曲十大，也是十首金曲之中年資最淺的一首（1993年）。。 2022年4月12日，YouTube官方MV點擊次數超過1億人次，成為全球第一首YouTube點擊次數突破1億人次的廣東歌歌曲。 (zh)

  • "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" (Chinese: 海闊天空; Jyutping: hoi2 fut3 tin1 hung1; lit. "sea wide sky empty") is a song written and recorded by the Hong Kong rock band Beyond. Released in 1993 on the Cantonese album Rock and Roll, the song was and remains massively popular. The song has been also translated as "Under a Vast Sky", "Ocean Wide Sky High", "Vast Seas, Clear Skies", and"Clear Skies, Vast Ocean". The song is an anthem of Cantonese rock music and one of Beyond's signature songs. It has been adopted for several events in Cantonese-speaking regions, such as the Artistes 512 Fund Raising Campaign for the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, and most prominently as the unofficial anthem of the 2014 Hong Kong protests. Ka Kui was inspired by his trip to Africa in 1990 (after which he also wrote one of his most popular songs "Amani" ("Peace" in Swahili). Its theme – personal freedom and the pursuit of dreams – flowed from Wong's disillusionment with the music industry. It was written to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the band's formation. However, the band vocalist Wong Ka Kui died on 30 June 1993, around two months after the song's release. It went on to gain critical acclaim and commercial success. Beyond recorded a Japanese version, "Haruka naru yume ni ~Far away~" (遥かなる夢に 〜Far away〜, literally "A Faraway Dream"). In the 2003 Hong Kong movie Truth or Dare: 6th Floor Rear Flat, the song was performed live by Teresa Carpio, where it was interpreted as the sacrifice a mother had made for her son. In 2010, Cai Xiuqing (蔡岫勍) performed the song for China's Got Talent, earning her third place. In 2012, Hong Kong a cappella group Metro Vocal Group released a cover on their album No Borders. (en)
