It’s a song released in 2013, in the folk genre.

The guitar is the main instrument, and I think it’s a very light song.

When I listen to it, I feel at ease.

It conveys the feeling of wanting to let it go when things aren’t going well.

This song was released in 2007, and its lyrics were written around the theme of “seven,” the same as the song’s title.

It says that anything will be forgiven up to seven times, but if that number is exceeded, no matter how deep the love, those feelings will be withdrawn.

The song has a slightly rock, pop style.

This song has a fast tempo, but the lead vocal is gentle, so it feels relaxing.

It also includes some rap.

With the combination of guitar sounds and a touch of electronic elements, I think it’s a really great song.

When I listen to it, I just want to sit on the sofa and unwind.

In conclusion

I believe the richness and creativity of Taiwan’s music scene will continue to bring new surprises and inspiration. Its music, resonating beyond language and cultural barriers, is enriching the musical culture of all of Asia. I want to keep paying attention to the music that emerges from Taiwan in the future.
