Inexplicably, I want to sing a song
莫名想唱首歌 🌻

不知道為什迷
那天幫鵝子著裝完畢
很想高唱「everything」
You're everything
You're everything
あなたが想うより強く 🎶

一定是髮帶
讓我看成米希亞油 😂😂😂

「把拔，那個好帥，我也要！」
會發光發出聲音的球鞋，對小朋友有莫名的吸引力。
說是「莫名」，其實是大人的觀點，
因為喜歡就是喜歡，沒有什麼名不名。
兒子每天看我挑襯衫穿，是不是也覺得很莫名？
忽然想到，我小時候好像也有一雙會發光的球鞋。
或許當你的鞋子不再發光了，你也喪失了某個屬於小孩的部分。

"Dad, that's so cool, I want too!"
A pair of sneakers that emit light and sound are inexplicably attractive to children.
Said it is "inexplicable", but it is actually an adult’s point of view.
Does my son find me inexplicable when he sees me pick a shirt to wear every day?
It suddenly occurred to me that when I was a child, it seemed that I also had a pair of shiny sneakers.
Perhaps when your shoes no longer shine, you also lose a part of your child.

誰還沒睡覺？你在幹嘛？姐姐這幾天在忙幫忙白旗活動 沒有時間顧到自己的專頁，其實也沒有心情。莫名其妙心裡感覺很生氣 又做不了什麼改變。一打開新聞就覺得*嘆氣* 我們本來一個好好的國家，怎麼變到這樣。人民自己照顧自己 還要被打壓。我們人民到底可以怎麼樣，這樣下去還能挺多久⋯

Who hasn't slept yet? What are you up to at this hour ? Jie had been busy helping out with the White Flag activities lately till I don’t have time to take care of my own page, but to be frank, I guess i am not in the mood, most probably ya all too. Inexplicably, I felt very angry coz as much as we citizens are doing our very best, it is as though we couldn't make any changes. Everyday, as soon as I read the news, I felt …*sigh* . We were a good country, how did it become like this ? What happen 🥺 We people take care of ourselves now but then, we are suppressed. If not allowed, What can our people do then ? And i dare not even think about how long we all can last...

Gather around, little hobbits!
Are you irrevocably in love with the Lord Of The Rings like I am? Do you find yourself inexplicably drawn to shiny golden rings with dubious engravings on them? Do you find that it takes only one bite of lembas bread to fill your stomach? Have you recently received a mysterious gift from a beautiful elven woman?

If so, you just might be a Lord of the Rings fan. Come and join me for storytime as I share the tale of my lifelong love affair with the franchise and the works of JRR Tolkien. From discovering it late in life, to learning Elvish, to writing terrible fan-fiction, to discovering an elven pendant in the most unlikely of places... It's all here.

黑夜籠罩之後，熟悉的日常逐漸褪色。
清楚地感覺到自己正穿越扭曲的時間與畫面，
在那裡，我遇見另一個你，比記憶中更加鮮明，
也遇見另一個我，比想象中更加勇敢，
一起往規則改變的未知前進。

睜眼的那一刻便越過了黑夜。

大象體操2021年度單曲《穿過夜晚》，創作始於與日本樂團toe在疫情期間舉辦的線上合作演出。與toe的團員討論後，取樣其經典曲目 "Two Moons" 的木吉他音軌重新創作，除向喜愛的樂團致敬，也以大象體操的器樂特色詮釋夢境虛實交雜的獨特場景，為探討夢境作為主題的下一張專輯揭開序幕。

“Go Through the Night”

When the night fell, the familiar daily life gradually faded.
I could feel the passing through distorted time and picture.
There, I met you, more vivid than I remembered.
There was another me, braver than ever.
Together, we walked toward the unknown, where the rules were changed.

The moment we opened our eyes, we have gone through the night.

Stemming from their recent collaboration with the Japanese band toe, Elephant Gym’s new single “Go Through the Night” fluidly interpolates the classic toe song “Two Moons” into their unique scene where reality intertwines with dreamworld illusions.

Peppered with chopped samples of the acoustic guitar from “Two Moons,” the Taiwanese trio’s expansion on their beloved song is stamped with KT Chang’s signature basslines that twist nimbly into her brother Tell’s gorgeous piano melodies. While glued together through drummer Tu Chia-Chin’s tactful, pinpoint-precise drumming, the song maintains a dreamlike air, with passages shifting inexplicably and abruptly in a way that still feels natural.

This blurring of boundaries between Elephant Gym’s dreamscape and reality is the central theme of “Go Through the Night,” and doubles as the band’s opening statement for their upcoming album centered on dreams.
