When I woke up this morning, loneliness stroke me all of sudden, and I looked up on my calendar, then realized it's November 11 today., which is aka "single holiday" in China, because of its symbol as four single people "11/11." I am not a super homesick kinda person, just like sometimes you crave chocolate, because you love it so much, and so do I feel towards my family. I love them so much and they are always on my mind wherever I am.
By coincidence, I clicked my old playlist which I created probably 8, 9 years ago, overwhelmingly, all the memories with my family swept all over me. I remembered every family we planned ahead, every great lesson my parents taught my brother and I, and every moment we spent all together as the best team in the world.
Today, as a tribute to my beloved family, I would like to share some songs we love to listen during trip with you. Maybe it will remind you the 90's feeling. Hope you enjoy them!
未來會怎麼樣我不知道，不變的是音樂跟我們永遠一起。

Cheers for our lives! 向生命致敬！
在生命的某個片段，你曾經有過想起身致敬的時刻嗎?
如果答案是肯定的，你會選擇哪首歌當作背景音樂呢?
此時此刻的墨西哥正給我這種肅然起敬的感覺，
這個不太富裕不太前衛的國家，卻有許多值得相知相惜的人們用心的生活，
簡單卻充滿歡樂的生活不正是現代人汲汲營營背後所追求的嗎?
與其花費大半時間在追尋不屬於自己的人事物，然後來不及在僅剩的短暫裡享受，
寧願用盡全力在把握已經緊緊牽在手心裡的那些珍貴的所有。
曾經我也是那群汲汲營營人們之中的一員，踩在不牢固的基礎上妄想一步登上理想的殿堂，
然而卻遺忘在每個成功背後所需要的是堅實的努力與累積而來的實力。
慶幸的是在人生的迴路九彎十八拐的錯誤裡從身邊的人事物學習到關於態度關於感恩關於"愛"。
愛自己是很難十全十美的一項課題，學會愛自己才能有能力去愛他人。
感謝自己所處的環境與環繞著的人們，向人生致敬後才有繼續前進的勇氣。
有多久沒有被蟲鳴鳥叫聲喚醒，睜開眼被溫暖陽光包圍的感動，你還記得嗎?
世界曾經是那樣的簡單，而未來還可以是那樣的簡單卻美好的。

Fall in Mexico，愛自己多一點。
嗨!
墨西哥的秋天不僅僅微涼，
貧瘠土壤上隨風飄揚的塵土更是為墨西哥增添了許多神秘感。
在距離美墨邊界車程三十分鐘的小鎮裡的教堂/孤兒院當短期的志工，
對我而言比當個全職觀光客來的更有價值。
誰知道芳齡二十三的自己有機會到墨西哥認識一群很有理想的人，
看著院內的孩童青少年成年才體認到無需依賴補給品生活的自己有多幸福。
"簡單就是美"是我在墨西哥的心得，
只要還能用微笑感染身邊的人，就是最美好的生活。
正因為這邊的生活如此簡單，
耳機裡的音樂也不再充滿花俏的效果器，
反而回歸到基本編制和撫慰人心的旋律，
徹底的反映與繁榮美國僅有一牆之隔的墨西哥生活。

【樂團介紹】Signal Hill
Signal Hill emerged in 2004 from Los Angeles, where is know for the cluster of urban noises and creative possibilities. The bond between four members creates the explosiveness and sparks in their music. After releasing first five-song SELF_TITLED EP, Signal Hill received unpredictably huge reverberate from audiences and their ascending fan base successfully spread their name nationally.
Soon after the EP, Signal Hill finally published its full-length album, More After We're Gone. Unsurprising, this emotionally delicate album made a hit with following collaborations with films, independent projects, and most importantly the chance to perform on stage with well-known bands, such as, They Will Destroy You, Caspian, and many others. However, Signal Hill wasn't satisfied with their success in the US; instead, they decided to head over to Australia for more opportunities and new possibilities to absorb different music genres in their own.
The trajectory of Signal Hill couldn't be portrayed with a single straight line, but with many pauses and a few uncertain turns. Owing to several reasons, band members couldn't stay at same city for their music career; however, the camaraderie in between them only grows more solid day after day. The distance and experiences add up the variety and mature into the band's music pieces. You could find brand new stories in every song.

【數字搖滾】Math Rock
數字搖滾(Math Rock) 通常由一連串複雜交錯的旋律所組成，
樂團中大多數會以吉他或貝斯拉起主軸，其他樂器為輔，
用不規則的音樂結構以及不協調的和弦來挑戰聽眾的耳朵。
不像一般搖滾樂曲以四分音符為拍組成四拍一小節的拍子記號，
數字搖滾的編曲常常用奇數組合的小節來製造出拍點不一的聽覺錯覺，
這也是Math Rock命名的由來，像數學一樣難解的拍點。
同時，你也會發現在數字搖滾的世界裡，
不再是強烈的吉他貝斯刷奏與強勁的鼓聲，
為了營造出聽覺上各樂器的交錯，
單音和更細緻的撥弦與敲擊取代了過往的激昂，
你可以輕易找到讓人輕慢搖晃數拍子的節奏。
台灣近年來因大象體操而認識數字搖滾這個自90年代中期急速發展的搖滾分支，
無論國內外早已有許多知名的樂團奏出一篇又一篇難解的數學題。
