One of the most painful things in life is recovering from the loss of a loved one. However, if you are willing to face it, life usually brings some kind of alternate beauty… Within an 18-month period starting in late 2008, I had lost my brother and two close cousins, all three were under the age of 25. It felt like my life was a never-ending spiral downward, and I just hoped to wake up from the nightmare… It was during this time my perception of life drastically changed… The things I worried about and/or were concerned about, seemed not to matter anymore, and my focus became doing what mattered and was meaningful to me. My parents also discovered the most important thing to them was the happiness of their children, so they asked me what I wanted to do with my life. Subconsciously, music has always been an outlet for me, but it was during this time I really “heard the music”. Music had become my support, my life, my savior, and that’s what I wanted to do. In 2010, with two suitcases, I decided to go to Taipei and walk my path. During the past few years, many young close friends had passed, bringing back the feelings and memories of my own experiences… The pain of watching the elderly send off the young and the impact it makes on a whole community is unbearable and indescribable… However, through music, we can come together to cope and celebrate our fallen friends and family. I want people to remember that they are not alone, that it’s okay to be down, emotional, and let their feelings out… I hope my composition will help find some peace and beauty in the world that’s left… What's Going On In This World
Music and Lyrics by: POLO WL A Mother’s not supposed to send her child away… A Father’s not supposed to cry all day… What’s going on in this world??? Why did we lose another Angel??? A Sister’s not supposed to send her blood away… A Brother’s not supposed to send his blood away… What’s going on in this world??? Why did we lose another Angel??? {I keep thinking to myself everyday what did i do... what could i do...} We need to say it One more time We need to thank you For being in our lives From all the hearts that you’ve touched For every single kiss & every single hug You’ve brought happiness Down upon us… You Shined your smiles Down upon us… We’ll never forget As long as we live You’ll be forever OUR SPECIAL GIFT A Mother’s not supposed to send her child away… A Father’s not supposed to cry all day… What’s going on in this world??? Why did we lose another Angel??? A Sister’s not supposed to send her blood away… A Brother’s not supposed to send his blood away… What’s going on in this world??? Why did we lose another Angel??? And why… Does it have to be this way? And why… Do we have to feel this way? I’ll Try I’ll try to push away this pain I’ll try Until we meet each other again!!! {I’m tryin to Keep it together Cause I know you wouldn’t Want us to be soo down and out but its not easy… It’s not easy staying strong or moving on When you know that days of building memories with you are gone} We need to make it right In our minds We need to fake it Just to get by Nothing will ever be the same We’ll remember all the good days And why… Does it have to be this way? And why… Do we have to feel this way? I’ll Try I’ll try to push away this pain… I’ll try Until we meet each other again!!!
