Zhaoze｜"The Life of a Dayfly"

Dec. 31, on the last day of 2022, Zhaoze released a new single.
"The Life of the Dayfly" has evolved from the 32-second short song "Dayfly Cherishes the Day Life", which was collected in the album "Summer Insects Talking about Ice". Few sighs in the beginning are now turned into a lifelong journey - this nearly 8-minute studio work.

One day in the floating life, is the whole life of a dayfly.
Borns in the morning and dies in the evening, the dayfly's life is like a pass-by, the floating life is like a dream in a whlie.

Su Tong Po has a poem: "A mayfly (or dayfly) lives in the world, is as small as a drop of grain in the sea. I mourn the moment of my life, and envy the infinity of the Yangtze River."
Under the sky, in the vast universe, aren't we, the human, a small dayfly that disappears in a blink of an eye?

The two brothers, Hoy and Sean (Seasean), lost their father at the beginning of the year and just lost an uncle at the end of the year.

For so many people, the year 2022 was not an easy one. They have gone through hardships and tribulation, despair and confusion. No matter because of the war, the epidemic, the poverty, or diseases, the reasons might be different, but the taste is just so bitter.

As the old year was passing away, and the new year was coming, Zhaoze was presenting this song.
Music cannot turn back the time, but it may heal our inner wounds; music cannot build the future, but it may give us the courage and strength to move on.
This is a memory of yesterday and a message for tomorrow.
Floating life could be joyful, floating life could be sad, "Floating life looks back like a flying shadow" (Peom from Wang Ling / Ming dynasty).
So let's cherish the happiness of the old days, and look forward to the coming dawns.

沼泽｜《蜉生记》

今天，2022年的最后一天，沼泽发布了一首新作。
《蜉生记》，蜕变自32秒短曲《珍惜短暂蜉蝣叹》，起初的几声叹息，如今之一生羁旅。原曲录于专辑《夏虫语冰》，经增添改编及现场多番更易，演绎成这首曲长近8分钟的录音室作品。

浮生一日，蜉蝣一世。
蜉生浮生，The Life of a Dayfly，朝生而暮死，蜉生如寄，浮生若梦。
皆因美好方不舍，唯其短暂才珍惜。

东坡有赋云：“寄蜉蝣于天地，渺沧海于一粟。哀吾生之须臾，羡长江之无穷。”人于苍穹下，广宇间，又何尝不是一个转瞬消逝的小小蜉蝣。
海亮海逊，便在年初失去了爸爸，年末又失去了一位叔叔。
对许多人而言，2022年并非一个容易的年份。他们历尽了艰难困苦，绝望彷徨。原因各有不同，但滋味都那么的苦涩。

旧岁正消逝，新年将来临，献上这一曲。
音乐不能让时光倒流，但也许能为我们疗治内心的创伤；音乐不能建造未来，但也许能给我们继续前行的勇气和力量。
这是一番昨日思忆，也是一份明天寄语。
浮生或喜，浮生或悲，“浮生回首如驰影”（明／王錂）。
请珍藏旧日之一切美好，期待明朝的春暖花开。

"All is Violent, All is Bright" by God is an Astronaut is a post-rock excellence. Swirling guitars, dark wave nostalgia, and energetic rhythms make it a versatile, amazing experience. The talented musicians and impeccable recording/mastering ensure it's a must-try! My favorite track is the 10th. When everything dies. giovannilauffer
