The edge of the cup should be smeared with a little salt. The salt can be tasted from the earth, from the blood, sweat, tears and the heat of all kinds of lives. The seemingly simple but rich layers are pungent, with a sad feeling that is difficult to say but not directly told, arousing the sore feelings of the eyes. The beat should be consistent with the heart pulse. The black bitterness is thick and turns into a frustrated or lyrical song. The phrases are long and simple, overlapping and intertwined, and people may even forget themselves in the duet. When this cup is passed in the hand, it will shine. At the moment when the light is gently raised, the sweetness in the taste will be diffused, like an aperture, illuminating those who will fight back the difficulties in life with smile and goodwill, and who will let their frank and sincere humor, faces which have experienced hardships, or beliefs and dreams that have never been lost be polished again. Like being gently held up and cared, the astringent saltiness makes all tastes more fresh and full. "The original flavor of the earth is the salt flavor". Even if the blood and tears evaporate in the sun, even if the hands are empty, the saltiness that cannot be deprived belongs to the reality and heat of life. This Rhymoi’s album, which was recorded in Los Angeles, is as meticulous as ever. Mr. Adam Kagan, the sound engineer of this album, has produced more than 20 Grammy nominated albums. When recording for this album, he focused on preserving the on-site improvisation atmosphere, so that the tone is rich and energetic. He also paid attention to the spiritual guidance and life force in the inner quality of the song, which are intertwined and symbiotic in the music. The music producer, Yunchuan Ye, has been committed to exploring the glory of human nature in art through the intersection and integration of Eastern and Western cultures for many years, and is also committed to spreading the integration of Chinese national music and different cultures in the whole world. This album is a part of Rhymoi music's "Voices of the World" series. It tries to connect all nations and cultures with the world language of music. The songs that retain spiritual inspiration and soothing power touch everyone who tastes the hardships of life. The softness and light at the bottom of the heart are like rain falling on people’s face, but the sky does not have to clear up and the rain does not have to be ended. The rainbow has been hanging in the sky. These are the messages which Rhymoi is trying to convey with this album - inspiration, healing, moving, and indelible stories about love and hope. The perseverance and strength of wading forward in the deep water, and the sincere and philosophical belief that there will be a rainbow as promised are the themes of the songs in the album. Like a rainbow - the pouring rain is like the hardships and tears, but it also washes away the pain and cleanses the spirit. Then, you can see a gorgeous rainbow, such as a beautiful blessing. Each of the selected songs in the album is a classic among the enduring classics. A Song For You is loaded with a vast and intimate time and space, with simple and frank singing; Bridge Over Troubled Water is powerful, as if it can help people through the most difficult, powerless and lonely moments in life. I'll Take You There has a dynamic rhythm and a duet form with great atmosphere, such as the recurrence of camping concert... Singing dispels the haze, awakens the spiritual yearning in suffering, washes away the dust and lights up the beacon in your heart. All the dreams and loved ones are shining in the front, on the rainbow, on the mountains and anywhere you desire. The starlight, the light of the morning and the light that takes away all the haze, together with the fatigue of the long journey and the suffering you have encountered, are wiped away one by one, and grow into a new and light part in reconciliation and become the strength and light in life.
