Another song that seems to just stop in the middle of a note. As I knew absolutely nothing about Hong Kong or its history, this song was basically impossible to decipher even with a translation of the lyrics...eventually I found a guide that explained the lines of the song in addition to offering a translation, which helped quite a bit.

Though before this explanation I don't think I'd even heard that Hong Kong was once a British colony, so there's only so much history an explanation of a pop song can cram into one page. Still, I am grateful for it.

[FINAL NOTES: Sploink.]

[FINAL-ER NOTES: If anyone wanted the previously referenced translation guide for this song:

I really wouldn't have gotten anywhere on this song without it.]
