Every sip passes over a name.

Chinese folk-pop brief · fingerpicked guitar and dizi

A stranger's name has sat beneath the cup for three years when the narrator adds another beside it. During a move, the cup is wrapped more carefully than a photograph. Water tastes different in the new home, but the cup knows the hand. Belonging becomes an object lifted every day.

The public Chinese folk-pop brief uses fingerpicked guitar, brushed drums and answering dizi. Follow drinking, engraving and wrapping newspaper: the refrain's need for a self becomes the ending's recognition that today, it is still me.

Read the lyrics
[Verse 1] 杯子是别人留下的 底上有人用刀刻了名字 我每次喝水都看见 看了三年也没去查是谁 [Verse 2] 后来我也刻了 刻在他名字旁边 不是要跟谁并排 只是那块地方刚好还空着 [Chorus] 写在杯底的名字 没有人会看见 可是每一口水都从它上面过 写在杯底的名字 不为了被谁认出 只是这屋子里总得有个我 [Verse 3] 搬家那天我先收杯子 拿报纸裹了三层 比裹相框还小心 朋友笑我 我没解释 [Bridge] 新家的水不一样甜 杯子倒是没变 它认得我的手 比我认得自己还早 [Final Chorus] 写在杯底的名字 现在我天天看见 看见就知道今天还是我 写在杯底的名字 不打算擦掉了 它比我先住进这个家 [Outro] (尾音轻放,杯底磕一下桌面)
