“I finished this song at 2.00 a.m. It was pouring down outside so I get up to play some strings and sing, the melodies just naturally came out. This song was also the one I composed the fastest, perhaps I sent too many feelings to this song that I could finish it in just one night.” – Said Khanh Linh.

I want to record my true self in the moment, after the tiredness, worrying, then the moment of freely lying to listen to music is sometimes the happiest. There is no need to find something out of our reach, even the simple little things can help me to be stronger through these difficulties.
