Singer: 林忆莲 (Sandy Lam)
Song Title: 无言歌 (Speechless song)
This song is different whether from composition or the message itself.
This song is actually asking help from any power above, to save us humans from the sins that we did. It used a lot of homophones for deities of different religions in the lyrics, which I'm not going to translate because I don't really understand what does it mean.

The theme is "Novelty" so I was like I might as well go the fun route and have some fun whilst also expressing some killer vocals. I think Haley does that perfectly in this performance. Such a fun song choice filled with stellar vocals.
So…today I chose My Play. This song is on the heartbreaking end of AJR’s catalogue, talking about a kids viewpoint from his parents divorce. Less electronic production than their normal stuff, it’s honestly incredible.
