夜有所思，日有所夢 Thoughts in the Night, Dreams During the Day is the 11th studio album of cantopop singer Prudence Liew, released in 1994.
In this album, a majority songs are infused with jazz elements, especially bossa nova with many of Hong Kong's prominent jazz composers contributing to the songs. Because the music strayed from standard cantopop fare, only one single was released from the album. There are eight Cantonese songs and two original English compositions, one of which is a duet with local jazz musician, Larry Hammond. This album includes two covers, "三十度 ( Thirty Degrees )" is originally the popular song, "The Girl from Ipanema" while "Love Me" is the cover of the song of the same title by Bee Gees.[2][3]
With the release of this album, Liew fulfilled her contract with Columbia Records and went on hiatus for several years, emigrating with her children to San Francisco, USA. Her next release would be the mandopop album, Love Yourself 愛自己, released May 2000 in Taiwan. Her next cantopop album came 15 years after this release, in October 2009, with The Queen of Hardships.
The title of this album is a play on words of the classic Chinese saying, "日有所思，夜有所夢", which literally translates to "thoughts during the day, dreams in the night". The interpretation of this saying is that when you think about something enough during the day, you will dream about it at night as well.
