"Moonlight in the Heart"——The moon is still there. Home has no boundaries. Once the song is sung, it will be far away from the heart
Lyrics: Pollack Song: Pollack Arranger: Xu Ming
In ancient times, there was Li Bai's "Looking up at the bright moon, bowing down to miss my hometown"
For thousands of years, the Chinese people's care and affection for their families have always been strong and profound.

"The bright moonlight is the same everywhere, but it shines on different people's hearts." Often the more it The more understated emotions are, the more lingering they are.

It has a unique temperament, but at the same time it makes the whole song feel particularly full and warm, making people feel moved with laughter and tears.

Lyrics: Chen Shaoqi Music: Pollack Arranger: Hong Jingyao

Chen Shaoqi, who has published more than a thousand works, has read countless songs, but when he heard the melody sung with a light guitar accompaniment, he was immediately moved. After returning to Hong Kong, he completed the lyrics in less than a day. When they met again, Chen Shaoqi even compared Pollack with Hong Kong's new music genius Lin Yifeng, calling it neo-folkism. At the same time, the producer also invited Hong Jingyao, Taiwan's number one arranger, to provide blessings for this rare and good melody.
Through the gorgeous musical foreshadowing and emotional lyrics, coupled with Dai Rao's slightly hoarse voice, it creates a completely different flavor, allowing the listener to be moved by the most primitive emotion in the song.

Lyrics: Pollack Music: Pollack Arranger: Huang Zhongyue
This is a simple song, with Dai Rao’s shallow singing accompanied by Huang Zhongyue’s clean and smooth singing The guitar chords I want to sing to you in the song are just like the separation that everyone will experience in their lives, simple and profound. If you live in a strange country and the initial jet lag will disturb your sleep, you can try turning the time on your watch twelve hours. But if you have a hot summer in December and a cold winter in June, this change is difficult to adapt to.
The origin of this song comes from an experience of seeing off a friend. A friend was going to fly to distant Australia to go to school. It was midsummer in Beijing, but she had prepared a thick winter coat as luggage. A flight across the northern and southern hemispheres, from home to a strange city, from summer to winter. Later, I heard her say in a long-distance phone call: The moment she stepped off the plane, a biting cold wind blew in Sydney in July, and the cold that hit her face made her, who had always been strong, cry like a lost child. During a week of persistent high fever, she hid alone under the unfamiliar quilt in the student apartment and shivered. She remembered that at this time of the week, when it was the coldest, she should be holding his hand and walking on the streets of Wangfujing, eating steaming snacks. …
This song is sung to all lovers separated by time, distance, and seasons. It wasn't until I left home and the people I loved that I discovered that there are some things that I can never get used to, such as missing someone.
