That afternoon, in the middle of summer, with the sweltering heat, you and I were riding our bicycles on the boulevard leading to the school, and I remember that it was a sunny afternoon, and the midday rain had wet several huge yellow orchids on the side of the road, and the air was full of the rich and sweet fragrance of yellow oak orchids.
Summer in the south is always so complex and changeable, it is still sunny at noon, white and soft, as if the marshmallow arctomos are hanging in the blue sky. Suddenly, there was a heavy rainstorm, and for a while, the sun was shining through the dark clouds, and the coolness brought by the rain just now became sweltering and unbearable.

Summers are changeable, and so are people. People's feelings are also complex and changeable, and it is impossible to guess the yin and sunny.
I was frantically drawing a hint of coolness from the popsicles because of the changeable sweltering weather, just in front of the bus stop where the popsicles were about to be nibbled, the petals of the yellow oak orchid were still falling bit by bit, it was a breeze blowing, and the fragrance of the yellow oak orchid was all around... You tilt your head and ask me, "How can I quickly have the coldness of the sea?" Let me meet the sun, the sand, the waves, the cactus...? "My irritable heart is healed by your delicate cuteness and a hint of floral wind.
I smiled silently and shoved the headphones of my left ear into your ear: "Listen carefully, and you will hear the sound of the waves." ”
We both closed our eyes and let the petals fall on our hair, on our shoulders...
That's my favorite American band, Owl City.
Now playing for her is one of my favorite songs, "The Saltwater Room," which many people call The Saltwater House. And I love to call it a house made of seawater, and it contains all the emotions of my youth, including the vision of you.
Owl City is an electronic music band from minnesota, USA. The band consists of one member: Adam: Young. Adam Young founded the band in 2007 and has led the band' lead vocals, arrangers, composers, and mixes and synthesizers. Owl City's music is ethereal and dynamic, with both the divine colors of dreams and the dynamic rhythm of electronic music. The title song "Fireflies" on Ocean Eyes' album was launched on major music radio stations and music charts, and was warmly sought after by music fans.
This is the official introduction.
And my introduction. We love to call Adam Yang a duck egg, which is what Chinese fans love to call him, and I love to call him that. Duck Egg is a magical boy, and people around me always like to say that I am complicated and changeable, maybe, I don't want to refute anything. However, for the love of duck eggs, I have followed him from an ignorant cardamom age to now it has been six years, I have countless people coming and going around me, about me, in their mouths I have countless versions, I can only laugh far-fetched, I know, many people will experience this kind of thing, this is probably the sin karma of youth.
And on every incomprehensible, sad night, accompanied me only by the gentle voice of the duck egg, which seems to be pouring out his heart to a girl, I am very fallen, the kind of fall that is not falling in love, but more like the wonderful encounter of two hearts suddenly colliding.
I also remember the day I met "The Saltwater Room", it was also a hot summer afternoon, the dreary and hot weather made me extremely irritable, although the small city I was in was not an inland city, but the distance was probably still a long distance, I loved the sea, the vast sea, containing all the unknown mysterious sea. Just as I was crouching in front of the basketball court thinking about life, a burst of clear electronic music came into my ears, what was it like? Although it is in English, I can only hear a lost sentence, but its melody, its rhythm... I entered a beach, I saw the waves lapping against the sand, I heard the sound of seagulls, I felt the salty and wet breath brought by the sea breeze...
The voices of men and women in the ears are very gentle and gentle, as if they are pouring out their confusion about each other, their appeals, the whispers in their ears... Everything...
Walking down by the bay, on the shore, down the bay, on the shore, staring up at the planes that aren't there anymore, staring at the sky where there are no more stars, I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold, I felt the night passing and you looked so indifferent ...... I felt as if I had fallen into the cold waters again, and I was so confused that I heard many, many voices questioning myself, that I was suffocating in the sea and that I didn't want to go back to shore, and there were too many voices on the shore that didn't understand me.
The song continues... You happened to look and see the tunnels all around me, you stumble around the tunnels that surround me, running into the dark underground, rushing into the dark underground, All the subways around create a great sound, and the tunnels around the surrounding area bring together deafening sounds, To my motion Fatigue: Farewell, to my tired body and mind: Farewell forever... I closed my eyes as I sang, why, why, beautiful things are so hard.
Ethereal electronic music accompanied by male and female voices carried me through the tunnels of icy seawater, and they seemed to want answers from my thoughts, with your ear to a seashell, put a conch to your ear, You can hear the waves in the underwater caves, As if you actually were inside a saltwater When you and I are alone, I've never felt so at home, when you and I are alone, when you and I are alone, when you and I are alone, I've never felt so at home, when you and I are alone I have never been so comfortable.
I don't love loneliness either, but loneliness haunts me, and I'm like those moths in the dark, always longing for dazzling light, but rumors and doubts will always hit me into the bottomless abyss, and the bad luck of the hell... I longed for the light, longed for that wisp of warmth, and I wrapped myself up...
"Are you alone?" Coincidentally, so am I! The girl's bright smile accompanied the sunset behind her, and the orange light gently hit her face, hit her outstretched hand to me, and gradually spread to my dark face...
Ah, what a long absence of the warm light, I timidly shook her hand.
"Huh? Isn't this song the one on the radio when I met you that day? I remember oh ~" I looked back at you in amazement, and then laughed comfortably.
"Then did you hear the sound of the waves?"
"You guessed it! Class is almost over, let's go. "You threw away the popsicle stick in your hand, and when I was about to throw it, I found the words "one more one", and then put it away and went away with you in a rain of fallen yellow oak orchids...
When we are separated, whatever you are thinking, What will it take to make or break this hint of love? So, tell me, honey, do you want to fall in love with me, All the time, all the time, all the time...
The day I met Owl City, the day I met The Saltwater Room, the day I met you, the world lit up, and I heard the sound of the waves again...
