You were spotted on a bustling highway.
Tiny, ugly, tailless and terrified.
Your little body trembling with fear, a strong urine stench was emitting from your body.

A week later. I woke up to you snuggling in my bed; pillow to be exact, securely, warmly.
Since then new house laws were enforced.
My bed was your bed. I was your mother. I was your favourite human who provides you unlimited food and endless playtime.

You then befriended Twelve and Monkey.
Three of you shared a bed, a blanket, a bowl of water.
But not their food.
You, however, welcomed them to enjoy your bowl of kibbles generously.
My first thought was: what a loving cat.
In hindsight, you probably thought: The human will refill my bowl with fresh kibbles. Two of you can have my leftovers.

You were named Goku for two reasons; too vigorous as a kitten and for a long time I believed you were immortal, just like the manga character.

4 months later we moved.
You grew into a rebellious teenager. Longed for a taste of freedom and the outside world.
Your free and wild spirit wouldn’t keep you home. You broke the mosquito net and habitually left house for wildlife adventure.
Once you didn’t return for one and a half day.
Your picture was up. I canvassed the neighbourhood and called for you.
Nothing.
I thought you were gone for good. You craze for freedom after all.
The second night you returned meowing for food and water and snuggles. I performed a dramatic scene.
I believed you understood my performance, because ever since, you never once spent another night out.
You always come home.

Your freedom didn’t come free. It came with three cat bells.
When the three cat bells jangling they played as a smoothing refrain.They became my lullaby that reassured that you were around, healthily, happily.
And it calmed my anxious heart.

You. My lizard catcher. My life saviour.
My whole life, the relationship between the lizards and me have been fiery.
Shrieking, bouncing, yelling when there’s one.
You appeared to protect me from them.
I felt safe under your surveillance.
Despite some odd days you instinctively showed appreciation by bringing one to bed, at two in the morning, your appreciation is very much appreciated.

But now my lizard catcher is gone.

The walls creaked the night you left.
Lizards paraded in the house, hissed loudly, as if they were celebrating victory their biggest enemy, my lizard catcher has gone forever.
I loathed them for that.

Over the past one month, home has become something else.
It feels empty without your surveillance.
Soundless without your bells jangling.
The bed and pillow feel naked.
The air smells bitter and heavy and icy.

My body and imagination have gone riot.
Every insect I see around the house I suspect that is you come back to pay a visit.
Then my lungs behaving strange. Like a puntured balloon that will never reach a full measure of oxygen.
My heart feels like its sinking one inch deeper into a dark abyss each time I think of you.

A few times the baby at next house cries and I mistaken that is you that came home meowing for me.
Only to be reminded you are gone.

And I feel abandoned.

The day I planted your ashes in the white Morning Glory.
A butterfly dropped by.
Watching me place your Morning Glory on your favourite, regular spot near the gate, carefully, peacefully.

Now whenever my hearts sinks one inch deeper.
I step out of the house and stare at you; your white Morning Glory.
And I see you: your obstinacy, your haughtiness, your delicacy.

Your White Morning Glory, it’s growing free and it’s growing wild.
Just like you.

▶《戀愛無名氏2》7月23日上架，繼續為愛奮不顧身：https://bit.ly/2VmdYmf

勇敢地對抗世界、守護自己喜歡的人。
從出櫃的掙扎到做自己的綻放，
這首歌獻給曾經因為愛情而面臨種種拉扯的每一個靈魂。

《戀愛無名氏2》劇情簡介：
Marco 在得知 Bas 的遭遇後，持續鼓勵、陪伴著他，兩人的感情逐漸升溫。另一方面，James 和 Ait 也沉浸在熱戀期的甜蜜當中。正當他們團結一致要揭露BL戲劇圈黑暗面時，一位意想不到的人出現了...

《戀愛無名氏2》主題曲【當我們的手勇敢緊握 Sensitive】由知名音樂人劉偉德擔綱製作，他曾替A-Lin、李玟、蔡依林等歌手創作許多膾炙人口的作品。在理想混蛋主唱雞丁的詮釋下，不僅豐富了【當我們的手勇敢緊握 Sensitive】的情感與層次，其中歌詞「那天你來到我的天空，趕走烏雲後畫上彩虹」、「全世界跟你作對的時候，不管多難也要一直走」由公開出櫃的雞丁娓娓唱出，更替【同志音樂愛情故事 Queer Up The Volume】的創作初衷做了最溫暖的註解。

【當我們的手勇敢緊握】▶ 各大數位平台已正式上架： https://www.soundscape.net/a/16530

【當我們的手勇敢緊握 Sensitive】

有沒有人懂我
Does anyone get me
有沒有人在乎我
Does anyone even care
當我用盡力氣去做
when I give it my best
想像中完美那個我
to be that perfect me

我沒那麼成熟
I’m not that mature
偶爾也會手足無措
sometimes I’d be unsure
渴望自由卻一直閃躲
I’ve longed to be free, but have let my fears take over
害怕只能繼續做夢
and all I could do was dream on forever


直到
Until
那天你來到我的天空
You came into my sky
趕走烏雲後畫上彩虹
drove away dark clouds and brought rainbows to my life
滿天的星空開始閃爍
And then the stars had started to shine
當我們的手勇敢緊握
when we held each other tight

有一天 當你發覺
If, one day
全世界跟你作對的時候
the world turns against you
要記得
remember me
原來的我
for who I am
美麗地綻放花朵
for the blossoming flowers
而我們的愛
Our love,
我要大聲地說
I shall boldly declare
不管多難也要一直走
It would be as strong as ever
多難也要一直走
as strong as ever

不再逃避忍受
No more running away
不再選擇沈默
No more silence
不再對愛放手
No more letting go
再次錯過 迷失了自我
I will not lose you again, nor lose myself

當憨憨Les學妹暗戀上颯爽直女學姐...
有些暗暗的悸動不知道怎麼用言語表達 所以只好寫在歌裡

在這個甜蜜的520 讓這首比言情小說還要甜的小情歌成為你的BGM
不分性別 愛只有一種🌈💖

詞/曲: Puffy & jolin.AA

第一次 看到你是在那片跑道操场
阳光下 你的眼睛好亮闪闪发光
每次 看到你 我的心脏都会开始紧张
要不到你QQ能不能够要你邮箱

是小心翼翼伸出 又缩回的手
想要触碰你却又怕你 太快逃走
是 看到好看的耳环都想你拥有
想要你当我的芭比娃娃和我女朋友

"两个女孩 能有什么未来"
每次找你 不知道怎么对白
删了又打 找你讲话都要彩排
阿巴阿巴 靠我真的超级像个废柴

你说他们写的情歌真的好 cliche
可是我想写首给你听跟你 暧昧
晚上偷偷翻你朋友圈怕我不对你 味
为你花的时间 睡不睡 一点都不会 累

是我想太多
還是你心我都懂
There’s something bout us special
這悸動 該算什麼

No need of Romeo
兩個女孩就足夠
There’s something bout us special
Makes u the one I that I longed for

遇到你的时候我刚好满十八岁
你不知道我偷偷换了和你一样洗发水
虽然有点变态 但我真的不坏
学姐 我想和你一架飞机一起回台北

怕打扰 你会破坏 这段友情
但你借我口红时我真的脸红到不行
遇见你 后我失去 所有理性
你说喜欢hiphop我再没听过流行

每次你画画 我都乖乖坐着
当你的模特 然后好好配合
看你皱眉头 怕我哪里错了
是不只一个 和你也不只此刻

社會真的好怪 不讓我和你好
他們真的好壞 我想和你逃跑
我发誓我比臭男人简讯回的更早
不像他们一样我会把你捧着当宝

是我想太多
還是你心我都懂
There’s something bout us special
這悸動 該算什麼

No need of Romeo
兩個女孩就足夠
there’s something bout us special
Makes u the one that I longed for

到底該怎麼做 害羞總變閃躲
我也不太懂我 腦袋想破 我心你可懂

第一次這樣不知所措
我總太在意 別人怎麼說
但 喜歡妳不需要對錯
就讓心跳帶著我 走向你

不是我想太多
是你心我都懂
There’s something bout us special
Now 詔告全世界 說

No need of Romeo
兩個女孩就足夠
There’s something bout us special
Ur the one that I longed for

SO EXCITED to finally share the Official Visualizer for my new single, Good Company ! I’ve often struggled with feelings of being an outsider. Why are we still struggling to find true connection when we are so electronically connected in today’s world? I wrote this song soon after moving to LA, as I found myself at parties where people were always stuck on their phones. I longed for finding true friends, my Good Company. Please enjoy the first visual for any original single EVER AGHHHH SO EXCITED alskdjfal;adjk

LYRICS:
I should've just stayed home
This party feels way worse than being alone
Everyone’s glued to their phones
Empty conversation when I could just be

Dancin', laughin', groovin’, on my own
Don’t worry about it (nuh uh)
I don’t worry about it (nuh uh)
Dancin', laughin', groovin’, on my own
If you’re about it (come on)
Tell me are you about it
Come on

I'm lookin' for that good company
No drama welcome here bring on the happy
I wanna soak up that energy
Lookin' for those good vibes 'til sunrise
I just wanna be
In good company

No I don’t need more likes
I focus on that real life face time
I wanna get intentional but
Everybody wants to get physical, textual
I don’t wanna care this much

Dancin', laughin', groovin’, on my own
Don’t worry about it (nuh uh)
I don’t worry about it (nuh uh)
Dancin', laughin', groovin’, on my own
If you’re about it (come on)
Tell me are you about it
Come on

I'm lookin' for that good company
No drama welcome here bring on the happy
I wanna soak up that energy
Lookin' for those good vibes 'til sunrise
I just wanna be
In good company

Face to face, not screen to screen
I wanna be in good company
Sunshine, good energy
I wanna be in good company
Face to face, not screen to screen
I wanna be in good company
Sunshine, good energy
I don't wanna care this much

I'm lookin' for that good company
No drama welcome here bring on the happy, yeah
I wanna soak up that energy
Lookin' for those good vibes 'til sunrise
I just wanna be (oh yeah)

I'm lookin' for that good company (Lookin' for that)
No drama welcome here bring on the happy (Bring on the happy)
I wanna soak up that energy
Lookin' for those good vibes, sunrise, I just wanna be in good company

Face to face, not screen to screen
I wanna be in good company
Sunshine, good energy
I wanna be in good company
Face to face, not screen to screen
I wanna be in good company
Good vibes, 'til sunrise, I just wanna be
In good company
