子晴
Born in a typhoon and calm after
打風嗰一晚
The Night of the Typhoon

Strings and piano behind a clear, unhurried voice - closer to an art song than a pop song.

The story behind this song
She was born in the middle of a typhoon, and the whole city went quiet and calm just after, as if in answer.
Why this moment matters
Being born in the middle of a storm that clears right after is the kind of detail a family ends up telling as if it meant something, whether or not it really did.
