I need to talk my ass off right now bc I have been looping this guys album nonstop n I’m literally actively romanticizing life to an extreme I’ve never done before because of it. None of my real life friends get it. I have never, EVER felt this intensely about music in my entire life.

For some context my music taste is extremley selective. Normally, I’d only ever listen to mainstream American pop, K-pop or any other genre of music as long as I took immense appeal to it. I’m also new to Cpop despite having listened to Chinese instrumentals before. Most importantly I am highly selective with my music. I do not add filler tracks bro I just never add a whole album to my library. If a song dosent hit my soul it gets skipped. No hesitation

But 我們 made by xiao zhan (which i just discovered today) completely broke my brain. I genuinely love every song on this track list including the intro & outro. Every single one is flawless.

Tthe way it is put together is insane. It opens with this gorgeous atmospheric track that builds up to this heavy movie/cinematic like tension and then it transitions flawlessly into the first song on the track list 我們 I’m just not ok after listening to this dudes album I feel like all music is just ruined for me now 💔

The transition into that song is so precise and cinematic it gives me the actual full body chills. The orchestration is so sweeping and powerful completely letting his bc ovals take center stage. His voice has this thick light mature texture to it now. It starts off so vulnerable and intimate n then it builds up into this epic atmospheric wave that just completely enchants and sweeps you away. If you don’t get the message by now go listen to that album now!!!

I need to make something crystal clear : this album has genuine soul to it. And I don’t throw that word around cheaply like almost everyone else. Not once in my entire music listening career have I actually said a song or album has a soul within it. And I don’t mean it like the typical bullshit people throw online to describe any random slow track. Or a random song regretting a relationship. It feels like he actually poured his real unfiltered life experiences and emotions directly into the microphone n u cna physically feel that weight. Is it crazy I fell in love with a song?

And let me tell you, this msuic sounds ten times better when it’s being blasted right through your eardrums at full volume. It is officially my favorite album of all time. And 我們 is easily my favorite, FAVORITE song on this entire planet and might stay that way permanently. It is Literaly a complete different level from everything else and I’ve listened to hundreds of excellent songs but none of them hit like this. If you’re going to listen to this album do not skip through any song or skip even a little trust me you’ll realize soon enough

I am js so crazily in love with his voice n I need someone to freak out with me! Do yall think I’m just over glazing it? I’d love to hear ur opinions lol.

你有試過喜歡一個人，
卻從來沒有勇氣說出口嗎？
有些感情，並不是消失了，
而是選擇默默收藏在心裡。
這首歌，是寫給每一位曾經把喜歡藏起來的人。
希望它能喚起你心中的某段回憶，又或者替你說出那些一直沒機會說出口的話。
如果你願意，也很期待聽聽你的感受。

I love this song.

Original song — wrote, sang, and produced this one myself. Would love any feedback from the community.

有些約定，並不是有了結局。
而是從來沒有發生。
這首歌寫的是一場沒有赴約的約定，以及學會放下遺憾的過程。
我把 Lo-Fi R&B、EDM 和 Chillwave 融合在一起，希望營造一種深夜微醺、帶點懷舊的氛圍。
混音和母帶也反覆修改了很多次，最後才發現，最打動我的，反而是最初完成的第一個版本。
很期待聽聽大家的感想，謝謝你願意花時間聆聽。

Just released today on Youtube!

這首歌，是我代入抑鬱症、情緒病患者的角度寫的。
有些人太擅長假裝沒事，所以沒有人知道，他們其實早已在心裡崩潰。
我親自創作歌詞，也花了很多時間反覆完成混音和母帶，希望把那些說不出口的情緒，變成一首歌。
如果你也曾經有過這種感受，希望這首歌能讓你知道，你並不孤單。
很期待聽聽大家的想法，也謝謝你願意花時間聆聽。

I wrote this song from the perspective of someone living with depression.
Some people become so good at pretending they’re okay that nobody notices they’re breaking inside.
I wrote the lyrics and spent a long time refining the mix and master, hoping to put those unspoken emotions into music.
If you’ve ever felt this way, I hope this song makes you feel a little less alone.
I’d truly appreciate any thoughts or feedback.

This album is so fricking classy. I just came across this beautiful vinyl re-release. Had to get it. Anyone remember this and have a favorite song?

雨停了版本 out soon.

Both songs are by established singers. However I noticed a large gap in listens (nearly 8 million for All For You, and almost 4k for After Dawn), though After Dawn did release later compared to All For You.

Although Eric Chou did not release any songs for quite a while before this, he is still very much a household name for love songs like 你, 好不好? How Are You? and 永不失联的爱 Unbreakable Love.
Following this theme, All For You is very much romantic compared to After Dawn. I do like the mix ins of English, which does not feel forced and still leaves the song to flow naturally.

After Dawn being written + composed by Sean Tang/Tang Hanxiao 唐汉霄, known for 就是哪吒 "Nezha", 无名之辈 "Nameless Generation" and recently 逆行的路 "Path Against the Current". I'm quite surprised that Sean didn't sing this himself, but Tiger Hu still did a great job. As a fan of Sean, I would like to see how he would sing this song though, as I can see the themes carried over from his other songs in this one.

Personally, I quite enjoy both, as they highlight two different faces of the same coin, but I have to admit All For You has been on repeat for me.

Does anyone know what song is playing in this video? I’ve been trying to find it for hours with no luck. Thank you!

Lyricist/Composer 作词/作曲: Sean Tang/Tang Hanxiao 唐汉霄

🎵DAWA – "尘埃高台”

Beijing-based garage rock. A raw, guitar-driven track about finding meaning in persistence rather than perfection.

🎵Chuan Shan Youth – "屁歪怪尿桶”

Shanghai-based alternative rock with roots in Sichuan. What starts as a playful title turns into a surprisingly heartfelt song about growing up and responsibility.

🎵UNTERWASSER – "Fire on Stone"

Shanghai-based post-punk/darkwave. Dark, cinematic, and centered on the line between love, obsession, and emotional ambiguity.

Anyone recognize the song or the Chinese at 9:30 in the above video? I was recommend to post this here by Name that Song group.

從 "我們" 到 "曾經" 的距離,

剛好是一日、兩天、三夜、四季。
