Chinese Song Appreciation - 追光者

Hello, ladies and gentleman. We’re here to bring you enjoyment and information. You’re listening to Lyn’s Light Music Radio. Different types of music touch us in different ways. Colorful melodies bring us colorful stories. Today let’s enjoy the song 《追光者》. Its English name is “Pursuit of Light”. It’s a song explaining hidden love in youth, and it’s performed by 岑宁儿.

If a summer aroma will heat the silent sleeping age of your heart, if your eyelids get hot with sunlight through tree shade, if cloudy birds fly across an azure sky in your young dreams, you will miss a girl that stays silently behind you all the way as shadows follow the light. She is the one who loves you all of your youth.
