"From the perspective of literature, any kind of art will bring many wonderful things to everyone in the form of its original voice, but also because it is connected with the spiritual source of its birth, and at the same time it targets the reality of life. It has a certain contemporariness across time and space. The culture of the Yi people is very pure and respectful to the gods and nature, and the songs made by the Yi people are the same. Our early works are singing about the environment that the individual perceives. Looking at it now, it brings about our nostalgia, and it feels like a good time lingering in the singing."

If the band's previous songs were more behind the facade of beautiful nostalgia, more ethnic and spiritual contents are injected into their new album, such as the following lyrics: Who has seen the funeral of the eagle, on the cliff, or, the height of the formidable waterfall, the hammer of fate, the only ceremony, the nail is sent to the dome.

"When selecting songs, we believe it is not necessarily the most classic poems, but to pay attention to the atmosphere and the whole picture of the poetry," Qubi says.
