In addition to songs on the first album, fans over the years have created music videos for songs on other albums that did not originally have professionally produced music videos. Perhaps no album has generated more fan videos than Leslie's final studio album, which was released posthumously. The songs on this album are quite evocative and represent some of the best music that Leslie composed, as well as featuring fine songs by other composers. The lyrics speak to fans and are written in such a way that many of the songs can sustain various interpretations. (This has permitted rather divergent English translations of some of the songs.)
A particularly beautiful video has been created for the song "Red Butterfly" (Hung Woo Dip).
Music composed by: Leslie; lyrics written by: Chow Lai-Mau
Every step is the ultimate land, slowly exploring the secrets
I thought this and that were already the most exotic sexiness
but I realized that it still wasn't
I have seen the most beautiful of this world
but my eyes were too sharp, I have seen all sunsets down the road,
but still haven't given up
I still have tens and hundreds and thousands of unexplored destinations,
how will I have the strength to resist (the temptation)?
#Look, even pretties are only to be given one quick glance
up front there are red in white, blue in purple--I still want to choose
maybe I have chosen him; but its not necessarily that I want to have him
the fireworks behind the window display;
get a full glance of the beautiful sceneries
Him--how many billions of "him" does he have?
Everybody is only a flower in the fog after all.
A thousand pretties, a hundred beauties, jumping up, sliding down
difficult to recognize him
can I still fantasize?
One will always have some kind of a past, how will there be disappointment
new waves overcoming the old waves, there just isn't time to look closely
The sweat that I and somebody, somebody and somebody once shed--
how will they still retain their same shape
Look, I used my two arms to cast out the net,
cast it over to the other side of the shore
within 200,000 days, slowly knit the net
how many arms have my tears flown through
Until where this wandering will be completed
(repeat ##)
I have seen so much that I will soon suffocate
Have seen through the heaven and earth
Wish I could dream day and night, be in paradise until the end
The scents that I and somebody, somebody and somebody once mixed
are already enough to let me completely forget you
Video: http://youtu.be/WQ9fcFKpSOA A favorite song of foreign fans has been Leslie's cover of the English-language song "Tonight and Forever." Since it was released without an accompanying music video, a fan who liked this song created a suitable video for it.

Here are two examples that beautifully capture this notable quality, which Leslie seemed able to project effortlessly whenever he was playing to an audience.
