Fantasy - Live at Smith's Alternative

about

This is the live version of Fantasy (2021)

Fantasy is about me longing for my parent’s love during hardships. I left my family and moved from Taiwan to Australia in 2012. My family is a typical Taiwanese family that never really expressed love in a physical or verbal way. This was compounded when I travelled around the world, moved overseas, and again with COVID-19.

In the song, I sing 'So I start to dance to keep your gaze on me, never want to let go of you'. This line is a statement that while my music career may seem to be flourishing, I still feel lonely and empty without the encouragement from my family. I long for the connection that I wish to have with my family, wish to mend that gap between me and them. The evocative lyrics and emotive vocals combine with bird song, sombre cello, and dreamy keys to create a vulnerable soundscape that yearns for attention from my listeners.
