"Miles Away from Lonely" was created by Hua Chenyu while he was on vacation in Japan. He was walking in a tunnel and felt very lonely, so he had the inspiration to create the demo and named it "On the Road". After communicating with the lyricist, the title of the song was finally set as "Miles Away from Loneliness".
Lyricism is the mainstay of the song. Adopting his singing style for ballad songs, Hua Chenyu uses an euphemistic airy and soft tone in this song. The melodious vocal fits perfectly with the orchestration, creating a relaxing and natural feeling. Hua uses a tone which is a shade deeper but still clear, exemplifies a touch of sadness in the melody. Crescendo methods were used in many parts along the song, each long note has a crescendo treatment, chorus background is also designed from soft to strong and followed by a strong ending, so that the high and low notes are not overly explosive but very heart soothing.
《Miles Away From Loneliness》
我离孤单几公里
Composer: Hua Chenyu
Lyricists: Dai Yuedong
Arranger: Bernard Zheng
A road traveled countless times through the sunsets
A letter written with so many what-ifs
Against the wind
Hardly can one move
Right?
Freedom never says
One can turn back the clock
Love is peeling off the map
How many miles am I away from loneliness?
Gazing at the sky, I tell myself
Don't be afraid
Keep on walking
Love has no words left to be said
All I want is to think of you alone
The desert of memory
I'm not scared of it and I won't cry
Right?
Scared of walking
On the road under the clouds
For it would suddenly rain
That's right
Scared of walking
On the road in my dreams
For I would suddenly think of you again
Lost in thoughts for too long
How long have I slept on this bed feeling fragile?
How many bites of apples have I swallowed the entire day?
I exchange a cup of tea
with a blossom of loneliness
Passersby walk away under the clouds
Love weathers through the wind and the sand
Love is peeling off the map
How many miles am I away from loneliness?
Gazing at the sky, I tell myself
Don't be afraid
Keep on walking
Love has no words left to be said
All I want is to think of you alone
The desert of memory
I'm not scared it and I won't cry
Right?
Scared of walking
On the road under the clouds
For it would suddenly rain
That's right
Scared of walking
On the road in my dreams
For I would suddenly think of you again
I can't let go
That's right
Scared of walking
On the road under the clouds
For it would suddenly rain
That's right
Scared of walking
On the road in my dreams
For I would suddenly think of you again
Lost in thoughts for too long
