Zhao Lei's "Drum Tower" writes about the Drum Tower in Beijing.

The song "Drum Tower" was created by Zhao Lei based on his previous experience of living in Beijing. The lyrics say, "When Route 107 passes by again, time is the tram that takes away youth." That's it. It tells the scene of tourists taking bus No. 107 to check in at the Drum Tower. The whole song is lyrical, romantic and evocative.

"Drum Tower" is a song composed and sung by musician Zhao Lei. The song was first sung at the Beijing stop of Zhao Lei's 2015 "Our Time" national tour concert. On December 21, 2016, "Drum Tower" was included in independent musician Zhao Lei's album "Can't Grow Up", released by StreetVoice Records.

Lyrics of "Drum Tower":

I was walking under the Drum Tower. The road was blocked, and the sunshine after the rain scattered and people came out.

There are many persistent and confused artistic young people. If I get bored, I will come here to sit.

I am a silent passer-by leaning against the wall and basking in the sun. If I get tired, just let me wake up here alone.

I am standing on the Drum Tower. All the prosperity has nothing to do with me. This is a crowded place but I am ordinary.

I was walking in the wet cafe under the Drum Tower, unable to sleep, and the moon was still smoking by the seaside.

Drunk and kissing happy people without sleep, I am the only one leaning on the fence to say good night to the past.

I am a silent passenger who leans against the car window and misses you. When Route 107 passes by again, time is the tram that takes away my youth.

I am standing at Shicha Sea. All the sweetness has nothing to do with me. This is a crowded place but I am very lonely.

I am in the Drum Tower, I am in the Drum Tower.
