For her second song, Jiang Qin didn't sing another one with a New Year's theme.
After all, as anyone who's watched a New Year's gala knows, one or two festive holiday songs are appropriate for the occasion, but any more than that is just tacky.
"This next song is called 'Countdown.'"
"The cherry blossom season yet to come
The camera still unused
The restaurant we've yet to see..."
The shift from a warm, cozy scene to a romantic, modern one didn't feel abrupt to the audience in the slightest.
Instead, they quieted down, silently swaying the light sticks in their hands.
"The clock hand keeps counting down
The joy we have left
The fervor of our embrace..."
The previous song had awakened a sense of longing within them.
Now, this song was telling them to cherish the present moment.
The clock hands were moving forward, but their lives were counting down with them.
Though the audience was immersed in the song, their thoughts began to wander.
