THE 53:29 OF TRACK PLAY

Overall, the album was indeed one that left many a Fayenatic gasping for more. With such a powerful and atmospheric introduction to this rather pinkish covered album, the contents of this album is indeed ear candy in the form of hard sweets that needs to be tasted with the tongue. Truly the songs cannot be termed as melt in the mouth. Songs such as the first track with Faye's vocal rasped and edited, her voice sounded extremely raw and oozing sexuality like the micro mini she wore in this album.
Detractors will say they wish they never heard that song, but they just can't appreciate its beauty. What's alarming is how she manages to convey the other wise senseless lyrics that talk about ants with eyes and noses and being beautiful. But just like what Faye said, what does it really matter? So now let me do the honor of ripping open Love For Strangers Only.

IMAGE AND ART DIRECTION

The people were so stingy. I am saying this as the packaging of this album isn't as great as Songs of Wanderlust. One thing the lyrics were on a piece of paper nearly a quarter the size of A4 paper. But it too has its advantages, I find it faster to look for the lyrics of a song. The album comes in a twin CD package. Now I am cursing EMI, why do not they just put 2 different CD cases? It'll fit much easier in my CD Rack, now I intend to buy boxes instead... :) Anyway the packaging is okay, I like the iridescent word titles. The surface of the audio CD is so simple. Its black with system words on it. Very back to basic. Very Ryuichi Sakamoto. And the VCD also takes on a similar approach!
With Faye still under Zing, her image this time isn't as interesting as her previous pink streak. Faye goes for a more Mod Retro look. Very rocky chick influenced. Even Tomas Chan chose apparel such as micro minis, zebra printed pants worn with the socks and heel only combo (remember the Malaysian Concert?) I like the way she paired the translucent top with retro jeans and stilettos. Cool. Extremely.

OVERLY IMAGINATIVE LYRICS AND THEIR MYSTIQUE

Ok, this write up is done by Ms Lang... it's her FIRST. It's quite an interesting read and we hope that you people might enjoy it!

Kai Dao Tu Mi / Lyrics : Lin Xi
What's with this song anyway? It's so mesmerizing left the Mailing List stumped and baffled just by the simple idiom that really doesn't make any sense literally. First Ms Lang took a Chinese dictionary, wrecked her head and came up with a definition of a 'Tu Mi'.

Tu Mi : A white fragrant climbing plant of the Rose Family. It blossoms last during Summer and its stem is very thorny. It's a very petite and small flower.

So the phrase, Xin Hua Nu Fang, Que Kai Dao Tu Mi. It might mean that, that's a very BIIIIIIG "might", (this is according to Ms Lang) : She see it as someone's heart ablaze with happiness and yet it can only blossom into a small thorny fragrant flower. It might be an irony or just a metaphor. But again her lyrics are best eaten in their original unaltered form - the Lin Xi way. I prefer Lang's translations. They are not so deep yet still pass on the idea of the song!

Translation by Ms Lang Edited by Sianz.!NC
Every Ant has a pair of eyes and a nose
Whether it is beautiful, it makes only a millimeter of difference
Where's the connection?

Every One, when sad will cry
And eat when hungry
The difference no bigger than Heaven and Earth
What's the thrill?

There's too much, too many Temptations
Yet too little Logic
There's to many games to play
To satisfy some curiosity

What else is there to be Hysterical about?
What to be faithful to?
All the Idols, are all the Same
Over-indulging Idols fading off all the same

Who has caused this heinous harm?
Who is God?
What miracles are we waiting for?

When finally all that is left is yourself
And that's all left to face
You can't afford to be choosy
Only to despise oneself

I'll doubt whoever gave me the Universe
My inner anger could only blossom into a pathetic little bramble

Who is prettier?
Who is sweeter?
Who is easier?

No Big Deal

Every ant with Whom it brushes past
Ever so tidily
What's the point?
Do you see the connection?
Yet every One
When meet a loved one
Can only feel fear in one's heart

THE BIASED REVIEW

Track 1 : Kai Dao Tu Mi
Music and Arrangement : ! ! ! ! ! out of 5 exclamations
Vocals : ! ! ! ! !
Lyrics : ! ! ! ! !
Sianz: Vocal rasping at its best! Totally fell in love with this song. I smiled while I listened to my headphones! This is what Faye wanted to do all this while. Her vocals are totally angst ridden. And like an angry banshee in her last outing, Songs of Wanderlust, she has proven it again. Enough of average music! She has variegated perfectly strings from the orchestra conducted by San Bao with drums by Davy Chan. This infusion might not be a treat to people who have been listening too much to ballads such as Red beans or Quitting Halfway! Lin Xi did hell with the lyrics weaving again a cluster of stanzas that don't really mean sense and yet its thought provoking! Well done, Faye!

Track 2 : The Moon Then
Music and Arrangement : ! ! ! !
Vocals : ! ! ! !
Lyrics : ! ! ! !
I thought I loved this song. But with repeated playing, one can detect even Faye is lazy to sing this song. A very sentimental ballad that works well with mushy people and the public. Soothing at times but sometimes can get really boring. Totally pales in comparison with the other tracks.

Track 3 : Hypnotize
Music and Arrangement : ! ! ! !
Vocals : ! ! ! ! !
Lyrics : ! ! ! ! !
Yes! It's Dolores revival all over again! I just can't help but be mesmerized by her ethereal vocals particularly during this part : Cong Tou Dao Wei... And the lyrics are very R.E.M. as to what some of the people in the Faye Wong Mailing List has commented. Cool lyrics. Lin Xi has done it again. Very Cranberries influenced. Relaxing beat. And the lyrics might be talking about childhood with the first and second taste of cake, getting some consolation from toys and taking medicine whenever sick. I just love the way Faye pulls her vocals during the part when the lyrics started talking about the sky turning bright then dim. I love and its one of Faye's favorite song in this album.
Ms Lang: Up tempo new age musically. Using vocals from the old Faye (the drags and the crystal clearness akin to Angel)

Track 4 : Love For Strangers Only
Music and Arrangement : ! ! ! ! !
Vocals : ! ! ! ! ! ! (6 because Tong Tong is in it)
Lyrics : ! ! ! ! !
Sianz: Need not have confusing lyrics to get the message across (if there was any). With such simple words, this song actually talks to Tong Tong. Like when Faye sang, Liking a face that is more innocent, and more innocent then animals. Really love the semi-jazz and trip hop feeling! Ms Lang must be nodding her head now! :) But for the single for Love For Strangers, it is not such strong a song. But indeed the DADADA is playfully sung by Faye! Cool
Ms Lang: Music is cheesy, guitarish, tropical flavor, semi-Jazzy. It reminded me of Jamiroquai!

Track 5 : Century of Loneliness
Music and Arrangement : ! ! ! ! !
Vocals : ! ! ! ! !
Lyrics : ! ! ! ! !
Sianz: Camels in the deserts! I love you Lin Xi. The lyrics are quite metaphorical, with Faye lending the wind to blow only to engulf humanity in flames. Cool eh? Again another song that left me gasping. The infusion of strings with drums again is evident here, with the ending sounding like the Orchestral Version of Falling Star. Rocky song that makes you want to bash your head against the wall.
Ms Lang: Futuristic (listen to the opening of Toy Album, same flavor with one song) The orchestra sounds Arabic and has a rocky chorus. It resembles sword-fighting movie theme track or some Sci-Fi flick or a Vampire related story.

Track 6 : Butterflies
Music and Arrangement : ! ! !
Vocals : ! ! ! ! !
Lyrics : ! ! ! !
I shall not talk much about this song. Soothing and catchy during the first few listens but doesn't grow on you. Kind of irritated me. This song is so misplaced in this CD. First it's a ballad and its not a superb one like Red Bean or Undercurrent. Instead its boring and dull. Enough said. I got nothing to say.

Track 7 : Passing Clouds
Music and Arrangement : ! ! ! ! !
Vocals : ! ! ! ! !
Lyrics : ! ! ! ! !
Love the breathy vocals and the opera-like background vocals. The music arrangement is heavenly. This is how slow songs should be sung. Not so heart wrenching yet expressive during the catchy and very difficult to sing chorus. I also like the way she slurred the lyrics, dragging them about. Her diction might not be clear but her vocals make it up. Ethereal song.

Track 8 : After the Beep
Music and Arrangement : ! ! ! ! !
Vocals : ! ! ! ! !
Lyrics : ! ! ! ! !
Sianz: I love this song so much. It's like so hinting to Dou Wei. And the way Faye sang it its like the person that's looking for her is so pathetic and she's like telling him to get lost because its all too late. But this rather trip hoppish song with nice guitar accompaniment. Great song for the Dou Wei biased. The lame male vocals are just -lame-
Ms Lang: I love it so much!
Sianz: I know you love it... especially the second verse... Just keep on singing into my ear!
Ms Lang: Voice message story. Soft jazzy feel very smooth!
Sianz: Did that male voice just said I LOVE YOU?
Ms Lang: Corny alright!

Track 9 : Overthrow
Music and Arrangement : ! ! ! !
Vocals : ! ! ! ! !
Lyrics : ! ! ! ! !
Ah Foon did a tremendous job with the lyrics. I cried when I listened to this song, her voice is so sincere and honest. And the lyrics are so sad. The simple music is indeed well blended with Faye's innocent vocals that seem so unabashed and gullible. A great song to be sung unplugged. Leaves the audiences crying. ;)

Track 10 : Exciting
Music and Arrangement : ! ! ! ! !
Vocals : ! ! ! ! !
Lyrics : ! ! !
Catchy at the first listens. But when listened over again for like 100 times, it gets sickening. But its nonetheless a great effort from Faye and Ya Dong. I love the starting with the 80's like guitar strumming and Faye wailing in the foreground. Cool song. But somehow pales in comparison to the other songs.

IWEEKLY - SINGAPORE
Reviewed by Chen Bao Zhu
From the childlike intonations of "You're Happy So I'm Happy" to the futuristic electronica attempts in "Songs of Wanderlust", Faye has never been as spectacular as in her latest album. From her novel image to the glam rock-style music, Faye has definitely become more sexy and alluring. Contrary to popular expectations, Faye has not descended into a creative block after her divorce from husband Dou Wei.
My favourite track is the alternative "Beauty With Time", composer C.Y. Kong's use of acoustic surround effects (reminiscent of the seventies) complementing Faye's hysterical 'Sakura-style' (Sakura is a seventies Chinese singer) vocals and Lin Xi's forthright and utterly refreshing lyrics, the overall effect being a pleasant shock to the senses.
In the tradition of "Red Bean" and "I Don't Want To Be This Way", the album contains similar songs like "The Moon Then" and "Butterfly". Just a phrase here to describe them: melodious and spellbinding. In comparison to "Butterfly", "Postman"'s lyrics are rather more touching, in the vein of "Date"'s tragic beauty. I like "The Passing Clouds" and the light guitar-accompanied "Overthrow", the former reminding one of Faye's precise operatic maneuvers in "Face" and the latter sung in a
languidly peaceful manner.
Due to the extensive use of percussion in "Only Love Strangers", the song feels like a Caribbean ballad, enlivened by little Jing Tong'scute giggles in the chorus. Compared to Zhang Ya Dong's lackadaisical version, Faye sounds refreshingly comfortable, having none of the "broken-marriage"
laments that people would 'hate' to hear.
Reviewing the whole album, "Only Love Strangers" has inherited the post-modernistic tendencies of "Sing & Play", kept to the usual high standard, but lacks new elements.

Only Love Strangers
Faye Wong (EMI)

This is undoubtedly Faye Wong's most successful attempt at marrying indie sensibility with mainstream appeal. The idea itself is nothing new; after all, Faye's been at it since her '94 Random Thoughts album. But what's amazing about her latest release is the ease and assuredness she and her producers have done in walking the tightrope between it being listen-able and pushing the musical envelope.

The album opens with 'Beauty With Time', a psychedelic number heavy on reverb and digital distortion. Surprisingly, this is followed by the sweet-sounding 'The Moonlight Then'. Things then really pick up with 'Hypnosis', a hip synth-driven track laced with a shange (mountain folksong)-like chorus. Equally riveting is the title track, a laidback tune enlivened by her daughter TongTong's "Come on baby" punctuations and angelic laughter.
It is remarkable how the album effortlessly lines up one excellent tract after another, such as the wrenching folk ballad, 'Overturn', and of course, the hi-techno-ish 'Exciting'. My personal favorite, if I'm forced to choose one, is the Cantonese track - one of two here - entitled 'Postman'. A sequel of sorts to her earlier hit, 'Appointment', it comes complete with thought-provoking lyrics by Lin Xi. Throughout the album, Faye's vocals shimmer with their trademark crystalline timbre, made edgier by an undercurrent of nervous energy and a slight tinge of hysteria. Definitely the best Chinese pop album to emerge this year.

Lovers is vintage Wong

LOVERS AND STRANGERS
Faye Wong (EMI)

ON ITS first day of release, this Mandarin album sold 20,000 copies. It looks set to go double platinum within the next week. (In Singapore, a platinum record accounts for 15,000 copies in sales.)

You don't expect anything less from Faye Wong.

She may be estranged from husband Dou Wei but his presence is still felt in this album. Her taste in welding Western-Eastern music elements is strongly influenced by the talented Dou.

One needs a good mentor to break new ground and try new things. Wong may need to look for new inspiration after this album.

She is blessed with a clear-as-crystal voice that is unaffected by smoking, and not aged by motherhood. She sounds almost like a starry-eyed teenager in track 4, Lovers And Strangers. This soothing number, featuring excellent music arrangement from composer Zhang Yadong as well as the voice of little Jing Tong, Wong's daughter, should transport you to a tranquil island.

Track 2, Once In A Blue Moon, is soft as a whisper and makes you reminisce about some past regrets. Take note of how Wong interprets the same words differently as the song goes on.

Track 10, Fantastic (written for a Pepsi commercial), may be the most talked-about number, but she mentioned publicly that it is her most unsatisfactory composition.

She also once claimed that she won't record another Cantonese album, so the last two tracks are to appease Hongkong listeners. Both these Cantonese songs are as good as the Mandarin equivalents, thanks to Lin Xi.

If you can accept Wong's love for avant-garde stuff, track 1's The Last Blossom and track 3's Hypnotise should provide good listening, although you may sometimes not understand her slurring without referring to the lyric sheet.

The Love For Strangers Only CD comes with a bonus VCD. In it there are the Spectacular MTV, the Pepsi Commercial - Wishes and The Making of Pepsi Commercial - Wishes. Above are just but some of the screen shot of the 6 min long video! I simply love the video as it tells the making of the Pepsi Ad and Faye is so lively (as usual) and very hyperactive! But there were some shots when she looked so bored. She certainly had lots of fun doing the commercial.

I did it so well! Perfect!It's so boring...

Faye looks so cute in these 2 shots? Hehe.. She is very playful.

Music Video Director : Susie Au

Five or Four Fayes? Seems like the 5 Faye version is going to be telecast in Singapore and Malaysia as the smoking Faye is not such a good influence on the younger tots (well how about Tong Tong then?). Due to the very visual and scary ANTI-SMOKING CAMPAIGN Singapore is upholding, another passive Faye is added to the scene and with her, we'll see less of the cooler more sophisticated puffing Faye! :( Anyway the MTV is so cool all the newspapers are reporting it! Some publicity won't hurt.. unless of course someone talks about the D word! Faye feels that the hair blower Faye and the Head phones Faye are the closests Faye's she can ever relate to... Very interesting MTV. Go download it.

Music Video Director : Susie Au
First of all, click the image for a bigger picture! Anyway I like this MTV so much I've been thinking of it everyday (me no kidding here). It's such a fascinating MTV that I just can't help but try to analyze (over-analyze) it! I think the song really influenced the art direction of this very cool MTV. The bag that she is carrying is from my perspective something relevant.

Heart,
Belongs to you,
I borrowed to baby-sit it,
But it turned into my heart's terror.

Wind, belongs to the Sky
I borrowed to blow,
But blew up the flames between Mankind
Sky, belongs to Who,
I borrowed to admire
but saw your Silhouette

This might be a message that says the bag that she is clutching so tightly contains the heart that she might have stolen from someone. The above stanzas might bring evidence as to why Faye is holding on to the bag so tightly. *anyway these are just my views* Anyway just enjoy the MTV.

OPEN THE "TU MI"
lyrics by Lin Xi

Every Ant has eyes and noses,
Whether it is beautiful or not,
or misses by a few micrometer,
What does it matter
Every human
Will Cry when Sad
Will Eat when Hungry
Difference can't be bigger than Heaven and Earth
What excitement does it have
Its got too much too much Mysterious Attraction
Too little Logic,
Too much too much Games,
Only because of Curiosity
What other Worth has it
Hysteria
Attitude towards everything
Dead Hope and Collapsing to the Ground
Each and Every Idol, is also like that
Idol that was mesmerized with before, disappear one by one,
Who has once Sinned Greatly, and Who is God,
We are Waiting
What Miracle,
In the End there is only Thyself
Can't bear to Overly Criticize Every Detail
In the End One Faces Thyself, even then can't Really be Looked Up To
Who gave me the Whole World, I will also Harbor Suspicion
Supremely Happy, and yet could open the "TU MI"
Every Every Every Human, Who is more Beautiful
Every Every Every Human, Who is more Sweeter
Every Every Every Human, Who is more Easier
and what's the Big Deal
Every Ant,
no matter passes by Whom,
Is always that Neat,
what does it matter
Every Human,
when meeting the person that is loved
Instead will palpitate with Fear...

THE MOON AT THAT MOMENT  (trans. by Kat)
lyrics by Lin Xi

At that time we're listening to music
Good thing that I've forgotten who sang it, who sang it...
At that time there's a cup of tea on the table
Good thing that I haven't drank it all, drank it all,
Who can tell me, how strong I have to be
that I would dare to remember and not forget.
At that time if we have stayed here
Your hair would have been how long, how long...
At that time if we haven't said goodbye
Would this door become, a wall...
What difference does it make, ?????
Then I can't have it beside me.
Look, the moon at that moment
it used to represent someone's heart, in the end it's still the same...
Look, the moon at that moment
After one night, it has turned into today's sunlight.
Who can tell me, what kind of religion
Can let people remember and not forget.
When I look back, the moon then
it used to represent someone's heart, in the end it's still the same...
Look, the moon at that moment
After one night, it has turned into today's sunlight.
At that time if we didn't have something
At that time if we did have something
then what would have happened?

HYPNOTIZE
lyrics by Lin Xi

First taste of cake
first toy to bring consolation  
Sun comes up
sun comes down
ice cream flows tears
Second toy to bring consolation
big wind blow, big wind blow
popcorn bursting is beautiful
From the beginning to the end
forgotten who, remembered who 
From start to finish
counting it again
counting it again
is there any wastage?
LA....
First kiss of someone's lips
first time falling sick and wanting to take medicine 
Sun comes up
sun comes down
ice cream flows tears 
Second kiss of someone's lips
second time falling sick and wanting to take medicine
Big wind blow, big wind blow
popcorn bursting is beautiful
Suddenly the sky brightens
suddenly the sky darkens 
All things that are similar
escape to somewhere far away 
One two three years old
four five six years old 
Thousand autumns, million ages. 

ONLY LOVE STRANGERS (trans. by Ming Chuen)
lyrics by Lin Xi

I fall in love with a scar
I fall in love with a lamp
I love listening to the seconds tick
Don't like other rumors
What I love is purer than facial expressions
More naive than existing objects
When all I need is only a kiss
Then give me a kiss
I only love strangers
I only love strangers
C'mon baby
I fall in love with this person
Love his body temperature
Like to see the look in his eyes
Don't like other possibilities
What I love is purer than facial expressions
More naive than existing objects
When all I need is only a kiss
Then give me a kiss
I only love strangers
I only love strangers.

CENTURY OF LONELINESS
lyrics by Lin Xi

Heart,
Belongs to you,
I borrowed to baby-sit it,
But it turned into my heart's terror.
You,
Belongs to Who,
By chance I passed by
But brought with me upheaval and downfall
All because on the way, on the way,
Big Rain had poured heavily,
Proof that you were here,
But when I close my eyes, and open them again,
I only see the Desert,
What camels do they have there, is the shadow a real person or a fake
Not very Clinging.
A hundred years ago you were not You and I was not me,
Sadness was Real, Tears were Fake,
At first no Outcome.
A hundred years later there is no You and there is no Me
Wind, belongs to the Sky
I borrowed to blow,
But blew up the flames between Mankind
Sky, belongs to Who,
I borrowed to admire
but saw your Silhouette

BUTTERFLY
lyrics by Lin Xi

Lips have not yet opened,
Already we are hurting each other.
Date has not yet been set,
Already we don't anticipate.
Phone has not yet hung up,
Feelings have already become rotten.
I wish you were a Butterfly,
appear quickly and leave quickly.
Give me a pair of hands,
To depend on You.
Give me a pair of eyes,
To watch you leave.
Just like Butterfly can't fly across the Ocean,
No one can bear to blame.
Give me that instance,
To Adore you.
Give me a Lifetime,
To send you away.
Can't wait until morning,
Dream Beautifully and Wake Up.
We are all free and relaxed,
Dreams have not yet become Black and White.
Already moved myself out of the Matter,
Swore never said it out before
Relationship is no longer there.
Tears have not yet dropped,
Already forgotten to ponder.
Just like the loving care of a Bowl of Hot Soup,
Can't be brought along everywhere.

AFTER THE BEEP
lyrics by Lin Xi

Leave a message, Leave a message,
Please sigh after the long music.
Leave a message, Please leave a message,
Please cry after I've finished talking.
I'm not here, I'm not here,
Please leave your own Secrets after the beep,
Please Praise Yourself to the speaker after the beep,
Please Moan and Sigh to the Empty Air after the beep,
I'm not here, My body is here, My mind has wandered.
Please talk about an Interesting Topic after the beep,
Please share your Emotional Problems after the beep,
Please do not mention a Certain Name after the beep.
(The Person you are looking for is not Here, Does not want to be searched for by anyone)
The Person you are looking for is now having fun him/herself
(I'm sorry the Person you are looking for does not want to Say Anything but its Too Late.)
The Person you are looking for now doesn't need brothers and sisters
(It doesn't matter if you want to Search, its already Too Late)
The Person you are looking for is also Searching
(Who wants to Accompany Me, I'm Playing Hide and Seek )

OVERTHROW
Lyrics : Kwan

I thought innocence was the answer to everything,
Therefore I thought everything was all natural.
Suspicions slowly thinning,
I thought memories paint the colors of everything,
therefore with regards to your future and mine, I never lost hope.
I believed you, you are love ( I can only let, let you leave)
suddenly you don't even pretend to hide, don't (even) think,
you simply overthrow,
just saying that it was all game, just like that,
you don't even bother don't don't even look, like it has nothing to do with you,
like it was only me that can tolerate, this incomprehensible regret....

SPECTACULAR
lyrics by Faye Wong

Better to prepare yourself
Before your soul is corrupted
You and I still have a chance
To make a messy return to goodness
Clear up all the gossip.
You long for
I wait for
The beautiful shining future
It's not perfect
As long as it's spectacular
But how do I do this
To say to think
Wanting so much more.
Every minute that exists is a different kind of spectacular
Love is always difficult
And dreams are a great collection.
How many times have you and I insisted on it?
Sometimes we compromise
But we refuse to regret.

GUARDING THE WHEAT FIELD
lyrics by Lin Xi

Wind, blows across the wheat field,
Field has to be harvested.
May be it is left in my body.
Heart, bruised by you,
Like picking minerals in yellow sand,
May be it will let me Shine.
With you its like Stars and Clouds, Rise and Descend,
No matter how we get in each other's way, Its more Beautiful than Harmful.
With you its like Wind and Dust, Not the same but travelling together,
Together with Sky and Earth, No fear of no chance to love each other.
Coming with two empty hands, Waving when Leaving,
Over Mountains and Waters, Who is inside the Water
Not necessarily advancing together, 
Coming with Open Heart, Returning with Assured Heart
Haven't counted Not one Thing,
That Deeply Loved Someone,
A Day can reach up to An Age.
Water, Evaporates becoming Cloud
Cloud, The Discarded Rain,
May be from your sweat.
Hand, Passes the cheek,
The Kiss someone besides you Gives,
May be left in my Palm.

POSTMAN
lyrics by Lin Xi

Until the fine snow flies down,
Seeps into the Deep Sea Far Away.
Cannot even move two feet,
first thought about,
leaving.
Until you said not coming back,
Until I said you deserved it.
Took down your cloak of emotions
Maybe instead you'll believe Love.
You are a thousand mounds of snow, I am the long street.
Afraid that when the sun rises, we will have to part.
Looking at the Butterfly which can't cross the Heavens,
Who has the rights to Not Understand
( only thing to do is blame the time which goes by too fast ).
You are a letter I am a postman
The Last pair of Legs
Treks through every Dune,
Hurriedly Sending,
Didn't have time to tear open,
The Beautiful World Inside.
Misread the Hotel's Door Sign,
Mistook the Street to Roam,
Want to protect the cooling Food Parcel,
Cannot be simply placed.
Does not contain your strumming and mine,
But contains an ending of strumming.
Yellow leaves will fly far from this fate,
In the end only able to say good bye.
