With warm soy milk, morning recognises itself.

Mandarin chamber-folk direction · a soy-milk stall and a street’s memory

A twenty-year soy-milk stall becomes a street’s memory. After moving away, the narrator discovers that the missing ingredient is the person who was always there. When she serves sitting after a fall, no one hurries her. Care is answered by others slowing down.

The Mandarin-folk brief approaches Balkan-coloured chamber pop through fingerpicked guitar, frame drum, dizi and an accordion fragment. The title’s persistence is not a rule against rest. Hear lasting company while leaving a chair for the person who cares for others.

Read the lyrics
[Verse 1] 她在这条街上卖了二十年豆浆 没请过一天假 下雨也出摊 不是因为缺那几块钱 [Verse 2] 有人劝她歇歇 她说歇了你们喝什么 其实那条街早就有便利店 可大家还是来她这儿 [Chorus] 她不请假 所以这条街还认得自己 她不请假 所以早晨还是早晨 不是谁需要她 是有个人一直在 这件事本身让人安心 [Verse 3] 去年冬天她摔了一跤 第二天摊子还在 只是她坐着盛豆浆 那天排队的人谁也没催 [Bridge] 我后来搬走了 在别的城市喝别的豆浆 喝一口就知道 差的不是豆子 是那个不请假的人 [Final Chorus] 她不请假 我也想学着不请假 她不请假 哪怕没人看见也照常出摊 我做的这件事很小 可它每天都在 [Outro] (手风琴一句,街声渐起)
