《Song of Seeing: A Playlist, Dedicated to "Soul Recognition" Moments, Private Playlist》

You, must have, experienced, that kind "of 'Moment'." In, a, noisy "Party," you, with, another person's "Gaze," by chance, meet, in that moment, the entire "World," all, instantly "Muted." Or, with a "Close Friend," in, deep night, facing (each other) "Wordless," yet, feel, each other, already, exchanged, the entire "Epic." This, is "Soul Recognition." Is, one "Soul," in, another "Soul's" "Gaze," seeing, oneself, most real "Reflection." Is a, transcending "Language," "Profound Tranquility" of "Being Entirely Understood." This song-list, is, for, these "Moments," born.

【The Curatorial Philosophy】

We, for "Soul Recognition," that, "selected" "Music-Chapters," follow, three, core "Laws":

A Whisper in the Ear (耳边的低语): Production, must, be "Intimate." As if, the singer, (is) not, in, a distant "Recording Studio," but, just, at, your "Ear-side," for, you, alone, sings. You can, hear, his/her, every "Breath's" "Rise and Fall," and, "Lips-teeth" between, most subtle "Sound." Honest Exposure (诚实的袒露): "Emotion," must, be "Naked." Lyrics, and, interpretation, filled with "Vulnerability's" "Courage," not "Pretending," not "Showing-off-skill." It, that which, (it) presents, is, a, "unadorned" "Heart," gently "Beating." Melodic White Space (旋律的留白): Arrangement, must, be "Restrained." It, possesses, enough "White Space" and "Pauses," like, a, profound "Dialogue's" "Silence." This "Silence," is, for, leaving "Space," letting, your, own "Emotions," (be) able to, therein, safely "Flow" and "Resonate."

【The Tracklist · The Recognition of Souls】

This is, this, private "Concert" upon, will, be, sounded "Chapters":

• Sufjan Stevens - 《Mystery of Love》: Love's First-Explorer. With, almost "Nerve-ending"-like "Sensitivity," capturing, that, in "Probing" and "Approaching" between, souls, "sniffing" each other's, subtle and sacred "Breath" (Qìxī).

• Bon Iver - 《Holocene》: Self's Witness. In, vast "Heaven-and-Earth" between, recognizing, one's own, "Non-Grand" "Existence." This, is a song, about, how, in "Cosmos'" "Scale," "to See" oneself, most humble, and, most profound "Anthem."

• Nick Drake - 《Pink Moon》: Quiet-Night's Prophet. With, one "Acoustic Guitar" and, one "Lonely" "Voice," constructing, a, complete "Midnight Cosmos." It, is, all "Introverted Souls'," that, "Wordless" "Common Language."

• Leonard Cohen - 《Suzanne》: Divinity's Discoverer. In, an, "Imperfect" "Mortal" body, seeing, that, worthy "of being Touched," "of being Trusted" "Divinity." This, is, taking "Gaze," transforming (it) into "Pilgrimage," "Highest Paragon."

• Agnes Obel - 《Familiar》: Past-Life's Echoer. With, ethereal, "ghostly"-like "Harmony," chanting, that kind "of 'Familiarity'" (Déjà vu) "Sense of Fate." As if, every "Soul Recognition," is, a, "Reunion" after long separation.

【How to Listen】

We, invite you, in, the most "Private" way, to open this song-list:

• In, a, "Solitude" "Deep-night," put on "Headphones," let "the World," only, remain you, and "Music."

• With, your, life's, that, "Soul Recognition" "Companion," in a, comfortable "Space," quietly, "Listen" together, no "Conversation" needed.

• In, a, long "Night-drive," let, these "Melodies," become, you, with "the Scenery outside the window" "Only Dialogue."

【Conclusion】 Every "Song," is, one 【Heart-Burning Note】(Fén Xīn Jiān). It, with "Melody" as "Flame," with "Lyrics" as "Proverb," that, (it) attempts "to See," precisely, your, that, hidden beneath "Daily," most soft, most real "Soul." May, these "Songs," become, in "your 'Loneliness'" time, that "Never-Absent" "Witness." Telling you: "Yes, you, that, unspoken 'Everything,' I, have, heard (it all)."
