A song that fits my current mood: God Tree composed & sung by Hua Chenyu, a prominent Chinese artist of the post-90’s generation. He chose to sing this on “Singer 2020” E6, a competitive music variety show.

A colossal song that brings a sense of doom and gloom, but also hope.

I fear the gloomy sky
Devastating waves sweeping, the land became human purgatory
All are terrified
I fear the bitter cold
Where all beings are not spared
All lose control

Crash and cold…

I fear lightning and thunder
Adults are banished while children are trapped
All huddle together
I fear darkness and pain
Step on the ruins and fall deeper and deeper
All are lost

Crash and cold…

    I fear the gloomy sky
    Devastating waves sweeping, the land became human purgatory
    All are terrified

    I fear the bitter cold
    Where all beings are not spared
    All lose control

    Crash and cold
    Crash and cold
    Crash and cold
    Crash and cold
    Crash and cold

    I fear lightning and thunder
    Adults are banished while children are trapped
    All huddle together

    I fear darkness and pain
    Step on the ruins and fall deeper and deeper
    All are lost

    Crash and cold
    Crash and cold
    Crash and cold
    Crash and cold
    Crash and cold

    I drown in the sounds of thousands
    Tears can no longer wash off my sorrow
    Never give up! Never give up!
    I feel the sad coldness of the tsunami
    It tears down the prison of all sounds
    Never give up! Never give up!

    I drown in the sounds of thousands
    Tears can no longer wash off my sorrow
    Never give up! Never give up!
    I feel the sad coldness of the tsunami
    It tears down the prison of all sounds
    Never give up! Never give up!

    I fear the gloomy sky
    Devastating waves sweeping, the land became human purgatory
    All are terrified

    I fear the bitter cold
    Where all beings are not spared
    All lose control
