1. Slender E.SO "Uncle" Bo Fu - English Lyrics

"Uncle" sings the voice of the prospective father-in-law, explaining the father's state of mind watching his daughter's birth and growth, and bringing her boyfriend to see her father. Reminds me of the movie "The Father Is Wrong", the father is always strict, and he will not let up on the happiness of his beloved daughter. The reason why his girlfriend's father will make things difficult is a large part of the father's unspoken love for his daughter. The love of , doesn't it say the voice of many boys?

3. Wan Fang "A Feng did not come today" A Vacant Seat - English lyrics

This song depicts the impermanence of the world and the "parting" issue that everyone must face. Those who have gone through youth together and entered a new stage of life together, no one knows that a certain goodbye is the last goodbye. Wan Fang spoke softly about a group of companions who were not able to attend the gathering, as if they were chanting for each other's lost youth. She sang softly and eloquently, making the heavy topic of "parting" more open-minded and soothing.

A Vacant Seat deals with the loss of best friend. The song begins with a description of the gathering of friends year after year, and evolves into a heart-wrenching description of the space that the departed friend has left on hers. The sorrow in her voice is palpable , with her vocals carrying a sense of helplessness and nostalgia . "A Feng Didn't Come Today" describes the sad moment of losing a dear friend. The song started out as a reunion of friends' year-to-year get-togethers, and has since evolved into a heartbreaking description of a deceased friend. The sadness in her voice is palpable, with a sense of helplessness and nostalgia.

The end of the song sings...

We talked for so long this night that we were shocked that life was too short. Next year, if anyone can't come, we won't want to take our eyes off each other.
We had a very long conversation this night
long enough until we learned that life is too short
Never wanna lose anyone next year
Unwilling to take eyes off from each other

Learning to "farewell" is not an easy life topic, let us cherish every encounter more.

4. Sambuyi "maava / Embrace / Embrace" - English lyrics

"Embrace" is based on Paiwan tunes, with a majestic arrangement like the soundtrack of a movie, and poetic lyrics, describing the embrace of nature to us, the land that embraces us like a mother, and embraces you like a tree. Sambuyi sings the soul of Beinan, with a vigorous and penetrating singing voice, like a force growing from the land, feeling the energy of companionship between the mountains, forests and the sea, sharing life with nature, and finding spiritual redemption.

5. "Your Name Engraved Herein" by Lu Guangzhong - English lyrics

"Everyone's first love is as great as an epic movie." The song "The Name Engraved in My Heart" is a love song dedicated to the love in my heart. It is the theme song of the movie "The Name Engraved in Your Heart". It tells the story of the taboo emotions of two high school boys in the era when Taiwan just lifted the law, and falling in love in such an era must be as heroic as an epic. Lu Guangzhong slowly sang the youthful throbbing desperate for love, which set off the unspoken inner emotions of the two protagonists in the movie. It was like muttering to someone who missed him at night, always inadvertently remembering the deep part in his heart. The hidden regrets and memories are still deeply imprinted in my heart. "Love" has no shape, everyone should be brave to be themselves and pursue what they love.

singing in the song...

The name engraved in my heart I forgot about the time. Since I decided to fall in love once, I would like to make the world stand still so that I will not be a luxury. If there is a next time, I will love again.
Your name engraved herein
Making time go by without a trace

I hope the time would stop
so I have more time to miss you
If I have another chance, I will surely love again

6. Mayday "Because of You So I" Because Of You - English Lyrics

In the post-epidemic era, in the face of the drastic changes in life, the more eager to protect and the more cherish the love that connects each other. The song "Because of You, Me" has the consistent warmth and positive force in Mayday's creation. The two finally come together.

7. Sue Five People "Where I Lost Us" - English Lyrics

"We all need to forgive ourselves who didn't know how to love." "Lost You in This City" depicts "loss", finding that "lost regret", experiencing the pain of loss, and finally realizing this loss The growth it brings to you; this song is not only a lovelorn song, but also can be regarded as after entering the "real society" of this city, losing the "single beautiful world" and losing to yourself with high "desire", unable to yield to yearning for the past, Only by losing is the real possession, and only by understanding can one realize and let go, and then look for the next possession with courage, and cherish the present possession.

When I first heard this song, I was instantly transported into the world of the city by the deep, gloomy chords and the long, gentle voice of the lead singer. With the addition of the rhythm of the electric piano and jazz drums to the music, it seems that the story of the long-held "box that requires a password" is slowly opened, and it falls into the infinite imagination that cannot be extricated. The arrangement of the whole song is clear, and the melody changes to create a majestic atmosphere, especially after the sentence "I think it can lead to the ending of understanding", the jazz drum rhythm is added. To a lover who can't find a goodbye after saying goodbye, "The world has changed / Our love has changed too". This is a divine comedy that can express emotions freely and is worth savoring carefully.

The world has changed and our love has also changed And I lost in this city You lost yourself by the way I thought there was a shortcut to the absurd And I lost you in this city Losing to my lustful self is not your excessive feelings
Heaven and earth changed, so as our love changed
And I, lost you in this city
lost myself along the way
Frivolously
been believing that my messy life would find its own way
And I, lost you in this city
failed to the self who desires so much
not your excessive feelings
