Together we row, looking at the scenery, looking at the scenery
Rowing till the boat leaks, the water rusts
Together we walk, looking at the scenery, looking at the scenery
Walking till the road tears, our shoes stink
Together we ride the wind, looking at the scenery, looking at the scenery
Riding till the wind is randy, the mist scorched
Together we sing mountain songs, looking at the scenery, looking at the scenery
Singing until the mountains are limp, the trees withered
Early at night I'm missing you
Can't get no sleep
First watch, scaling the flower wall
I see your sorrow
Under the eaves on the veranda, I take it all in
Seeing a neighbor passing by, hiya, oh hiya
Shy little girl, your face turns yellow
Second watch, a knock on the window lattice
A voice says: sweet lad, be quiet
Downstairs a door opens and a smiling face welcomes me in
She takes this lad by the hand, hiya, oh hiya
Lad oh lad, I called out many times
Together we row a boat, looking at the scenery, looking at the scenery
Your love leaks, my love rusts
Together we walk the road looking at the scenery, looking at the scenery
Your love tears, my love stinks
Together we ride the wind, looking at the scenery, looking at the scenery
Your love's randy, my love scorched
Together we sing mountain songs, looking at the scenery, looking at the scenery
Your love's limp and my love withered
Late at night I'm missing you
The sky's again lit up
Third watch, together we enter your bedroom
Getting onto your ivory bed
Unbuttoning the flower bag, releasing the scent of chrysanthemum
A fresh flower is picked by this lad, hiya, oh hiya
You're asking me if it's nice
Fourth watch, getting to the lovers secret
A voice says: lad, take some rest
You've exhausted your body, who cares for you like I do?
Romance on mandarin duck pillows, hiya, oh hiya
You can't tear away, neither can I break apart
Fifth watch, dawn is breaking
A voice says: lad, get up right now
The golden cock is crowing (cock-doodle-do)
Light filters in through the window paper
I'll bring you out through the main gate, hiya, oh hiya
When will my lad be able to visit again.
You ask me to come, who the hell wouldn't want to come yeah
Only a bastard wouldn't want to come yeah
But your wall's tall and encircled by watchtowers
I'm afraid of your father's shotgun
You ask me to come, who the hell wouldn't want to come yeah
Only a bastard wouldn't want to come yeah
You ask me to come, who the hell wouldn't want to come yeah
Only a bastard wouldn't want to come yeah

Everything seems to be second hand in China. Marx, Weibo, rock music, even the women. Searching through the rumble, an old broken shoe makes us laugh, jump with joy.
I am blown away. Best thing I heard all year and it's November. Fearless, confident, effortless; amazingly varied and creative. I AM BLOWN AWAY! EDIT: It's as if giant robots from the future landed on the White House lawn on a massive speaker and started rocking it out like its 2099!!! Iskariota
I hadn't understood the album until I saw Zhaoze perform Birds Contending at dunk! 2019. This album is truly a piece of art, employing narrative without a single spoken word. It's actually about contending birds! Congrats on bringing this across and thank you for a beautiful piece of music. Ben Leathley
