1. About the song
- Hua Chenyu Writing About His Creation of “Growing Toward the Sun” and “Light the Bonfire at the end of the Milky Way” on Weibo
The songs “Growing Toward the Sun” and “Light Up the Bonfire at the Galaxy’s End” were written specifically for the concert, and they are supposed to be listened to after the Healing Trilogy. From the first struggling chapter, “I Really Want Myself Back (AKA Searching for Myself)” to “Light Up the Bonfire at the Galaxy’s End”, which is the happiest and most romantic song on my entire album, these five songs can be listened to together. The reason why I wrote these two songs is that after I sang the last song “Let’s Go and Watch the Sunrise” at the Mars Concert 2021, I have always dreamed that one day, I will be able to do a romantic and crazy thing with everyone, that is, we really have a concert to welcome the sunrise together. Then, I have always fantasized that there is a song that we can all sing together with warmth, full of hope and strength. We sing an ode to life together, sing sunshine together, and sing a song to welcome the feeling of the sunrise. “Growing Toward the Sun” is a song about life that everyone can sing together. The beginning of the song is to pave the way for the description of the sky slowly becoming light, and then the feeling of everything awakening. At about 2:17 seconds, you can see the sunlight at the sea horizon or on distant mountain tops, and then at 2:45 seconds, “So radiant”, there is the feeling of the sun rising up from the sea horizon.
After singing “Grow to follow the Sun”, it’s followed by “Light Up the Bonfire at the Galaxy’s End”. This song has already been released. In that song, we revel together, dance together, and imagine a better future together! The most difficult thing about this is thinking of a title for the song because I want to depict a lively scene, and I want everyone to feel romantic. So “bonfire” represents carnival, and “Milky Way (Galaxy)” represents romance because the Milky Way will remind us Queqiao (a bridge over the Milky Way in a fairy tale) where (lovers) meet at the end of the Milky Way once a year, eager to see each other!

3. Lyrics Translation
Lyricist: Lyu Yiqiu |
| 点燃银河尽头的篝火 | Light Up the Bonfire at the Galaxy’s End |
|---|---|
| 忘掉 天空烦扰 | Forget about the worries in the sky |
| 跑起来吧 奔向星河的绮丽 | Let’s run to the splendid galaxy |
| 放肆地欢笑 | Laugh without restraint |
| 撞进亿万岁月里 | Stumble into light years of time |
| 做颗悠然 的星宿 | and become a leisurely star |
| 荒郊 之中舞蹈 | Dance in the wilderness |
| 星辰野草 造处无边的天地 | Create a boundless world full of stars and wild grass |
| 这地球太小 像座环行的孤岛 | This earth is too small, resembling an isolated island |
| 谁会在这儿终老 | Who would stay here all their life? |
| 当人类 悬浮到不朽 | When humans float to immortality |
| 有谁愿 追随彗星漂流 | Who is willing to chase after the drifting comet? |
| 那篝火 在银河尽头 | That bonfire is at the end of the Milky Way |
| 点燃宇宙 | Igniting the universe |
| 让我们 | Let us |
| 跳吧 在无比 宏大 的星系 | Dance in the grandest galaxy |
| HU HA HEI HOO | |
| 喝吧 要沉迷 洪荒 的美丽 | Drink to immerse in the beauty of primordial wilderness |
| HU HA HEI HOO | |
| 飞吧 去寻觅 红色 的流星 | Fly to find the red meteor |
| HU HA HEI HOO | |
| 让我们 | Let us… |
| 笑吧 | Laugh |
| 繁星 一瞬燃烧 | Countless stars burn in a flash |
| 提醒我们 告别沉寂的天体 | Reminding us to bid farewell to this dreary planet |
| 在拥挤人潮 | Amid the swarming crowd |
| 我也清晰地看到 | I can still clearly see |
| 一座 斑斓的 宇宙 | A vividly colorful universe |
| 让心 离开地表 | Let our hearts escape the earth |
| 才能找到 盘旋爬升的动力 | to gain an upward spiral momentum |
| 夸张些拥抱 好过孤单地旅行 | Dramatic embraces are better than lonely journeys |
| 别再固执到老 | Don’t hold onto stubbornness until an old age |
| 但人类 都环绕星球 | Although humans orbit around the planets |
| 我更愿 追随彗星漂流 | I would rather drift after a comet |
| 那篝火 在银河尽头 | That bonfire is burning at the end of the Milky Way |
| 点燃宇宙 | Igniting the universe |
| 让我们 | Let us |
| 跳吧 在无比 宏大 的星系 | Dance in the grandest galaxy |
| HU HA HEI HOO | |
| 喝吧 要沉迷 洪荒 的美丽 | Drink to immerse in the beauty of primordial wilderness |
| HU HA HEI HOO | |
| 飞吧 去寻觅 红色 的流星 | Fly to find the red meteor |
| HU HA HEI HOO | |
| 让我们 | Let us… |
| 笑吧 | Laugh |
| 跳吧 在无比 宏大 的星系 | Dance in the grandest galaxy |
| HU HA HEI HOO | |
| 喝吧 要沉迷 洪荒 的美丽 | Drink to immerse in the beauty of primordial wilderness |
| HU HA HEI HOO | |
| 飞吧 去寻觅 红色 的流星 | Fly to find the red meteor |
| HU HA HEI HOO | |
| 让我们 | Let us… |
| 梦吧 | Dream! |
