《和光同塵》| ”Harmony with Light”
親愛的爸爸,生日快樂!這首《和光同塵》的歌詞——「你看那盛放的花,來自期盼的種子。你看那豐碩的果實,來自耕耘的浪漫」——讓我想起了你帶給我的陽光和活力,還有你不畏前方的艱難險阻、依然奮力拼搏著做對的事情的精神。希望你喜歡我第一次自己寫的吉他譜。
Dear Dad, Happy birthday! The lyrics of “Harmony with Light” — “Look at the blooming flowers, they came from the seeds of hope. Look at the ripen fruits, they came from inspiring hard work.” Reminded me of your optimism and energy, and how you always strive to do the right thing regardless of the obstacles in front of you. Hope you will like my first attempt to write guitar chords myself.

Dear Mom, last year for your birthday, I sang you the first song that I learned to play on the guitar. You said you liked it so much, and you felt like every day was your birthday. I am singing you another song this year, and I wish you can hear it. I really, really miss you.
“Count on Me”
Happy birthday Felix! Thank you for giving me your guitar last year — you enabled me to sing and play for so many people I love. Now I finally get to sing a song for you too!
我們的《童話》| Our “Fairytale”
國中時紅遍大街小巷的一首歌。快三個月了,如果我選了一個能讓我專注於我學習到的東西而不是我的感情的題材,是否能對我的心情帶來一些改變呢?
A very popular song when I was in middle school. It has been almost 3 months –if I pick a topic that makes me focus on what I learned instead of how I feel, will that change my mood a little?
《平凡之路》| “The Ordinary Road”
今年開始自學吉他後,為許多人唱了歌。這首《平凡之路》是唱給我自己的。
