Album introduction

When Xue Yue made this album of life, aging, illness and death, his condition was getting worse and worse. Even when he was recording, he had to hold his hips with a high chair and support his upper body weight to sing successfully. Xue Yue said with emotion at the press conference: "after I was 30 years old, I decided to make my own music. Over the past few years, I have been fighting fiercely, but few people can see that the anxiety and anger in my heart have caused my personality in recent years But slowly because of the age factor, I understand! There are a lot of things that are not propped up, there should be a lot of methods, there are a lot of pipes I just realized that life is too late... " there are ten songs in the album, which is still the music route of pop-rock, blue and jazz. It's amazing that we can't find a trace of sadness and grief in the album, but there are only more love and desire for life. the main song "if there is tomorrow" is the last portrayal of life, reminding yourself not to give up any hope before the end of life. In Xue Yue's hoarse singing, we can't hear the sentimentality of his inability to do anything about fate. For a man who has experienced everything, and who is full of scars, stubborn ideals and rock all his life, in this song, he made a final confession of his life, which is also the last voice he left us. The album was first released in 1990 when Xue Yue died. In 2001, it was reissued in Himalaya using pow-r reduction technology.
