This is one of the first Chinese songs I listened to. I feel like it is the perfect soothing song for a leisurely Sunday.
The song is Kimberley's voice accompanied by an acoustic guitar, then song slowly builds and introduces drums. The song is very soothing, it has a relatively slow pace, but this really shows off the quality of Kimberley's voice. I really love the sound of acoustic guitars, it is really comforting, which might explain why I find this song so relaxing. Kimberley's voice has a lot of emotions showing, the song can often feel sad as she is pouring her heart and soul into the song. The song feels a lot older than it is, when I checked it came out in 2012, but it easily feels like a song from the 2000s.
The song is a love song, the title translating to love you. One of the few things I know in Chinese is I love you (Wo ai ni), thanks to my school friends and I trying to annoy one of our other friends haha, good times. The whole song is about the love she has for this person, how she feels like '每一秒初吻 我每一秒都想要吻你' (Every kiss seems to be the first, and I want to kiss you every second). She also mentions the small things that she notices that she loves '我喜歡 愛你外套味道 還有你的懷裡' (I like the smell of your jacket and your body.) these are things not everyone notices, but she does because she loves them. Something that I like in this song is '從你某個角度 我總看見自己' (Your particular angle can reflect part of my personality). This line reminds me of when people say that you become like your partner as you spend so much time together. I find this a lovely sentiment. Another lyric that says this to me is '好好看看在你心裡' (I want to watch how great you are.) showing how much she supports them in everything they do. The last lyric is a beautiful finish for the song. Rounding up how both parties feel for each other, '我們愛情 會一直沒有距離 最美麗' (Our love will last forever beautifully). Though most of these lines talk about a very idealised romance, she does talk about the fact that she has tantrums, but she doesn't really feel angry towards them. This might be from the fact that we often take out our frustrations on those that we love. Overall, it is a gorgeous song, with a sweet romance story in it.
Thank you as always for reading, I really appreciate the support I have been getting. P.S the video is super cute for this song x
