She sang softly and eloquently, making the heavy topic of "parting" more open-minded and soothing.

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.

long enough until we learned that life is too short
Never wanna lose anyone next year
Unwilling to take eyes off from each other

"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.

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.

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

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
