It's a very emotional song. The song takes the water town as the background, "water town" is originally beautiful, and "dream water town" adds a bit of hazy mood

The season of the song is selected when the spring is warm and the spring heart is budding, and the specific time in the song is jumped, with the front being "Spring Dusk" and the back becoming "Warm Afternoon". Dusk often expresses longing and sadness; in the afternoon, it shows laziness and emotional ambiguity. In the afternoon, "flashing a piece of pink clothes" can provoke people's yearning and dreams of youth love, "pink" is peach, which is the color of love in ancient Chinese poetry and song.

The first half of the song vigorously describes the thoughts in the heart, and love is hidden in the heart because of shame to express, which plays a foreshadowing role. "Turn your head / Greet your smile / All your heart is discovered by you / The distant happiness in the dream it is next to me", expressing the shyness and sweetness of the love heart after being discovered, which is a situation that many young boys and girls in love are looking forward to, and it is a tacit echo of the lover's heart.

Life is like water, flowing silently. May your hands be oared, ride a thousand layers of wind and break through thousands of waves, drive a boat across the ocean, and reach the water town of your dreams!
