"Female: I don't know what you're thinking
Still at that same place, on that same street
The night we broke up
Both: That lingering, intimate place..."
It was a duet for a male and female singer.
Long Yue made a point of looking up the male singer's name. It turned out to be Cang Hong, her sister-in-law's singer partner.
And the song's title was "Bund No. 18."
She didn't know what the title meant, but based on the lyrics, she gathered it was a place steeped in memory.
"Male: A rainy night
Female: A street all too familiar
Male: All the feelings
Female: Have lost their fervent flame..."
Having never experienced a love so deep it was etched into her very bones, Long Yue couldn't quite empathize with the song's lyrics.
But that didn't stop her from finding it beautiful.
As for those who could relate, they were mostly struck by the line: "I understand all too well that love isn't everything you want."
