  I really liked the song because of the context of when it plays in the game and genuinely the performance is beautiful in a sad way. And then from you I learn the deeper meaning behind it through the translation and what the original subtext of the words mean and feel the the song ripping my heart. Thank you for your translations and important insight into the poetry and culture as a Chinese WuWa player!<br><br>Edit: I think Ballad of Xuanling fits better than just Song of Xuanling, now that I know the context

  THANK YOU for this! I love this song so much and really appreciate how it gets used as not only a way to connect YangYang with LiangYu, but also LingFang, the Rafter Kites, and the Xuanling Birds. Given YangYang&apos;s past as a singer (and her whole family&apos;s background as artists/performers) and her forte being related to &quot;streams&quot; or &quot;voices of the wind&quot;, it just makes so much sense for her to pick up on the song and express herself in that manner. Also having the big choral arrangement version playing as BGM while she resonates with the remnant frequencies of the Xuanling birds and undergoes her awakening was magnificent. <br><br>I knew I was probably missing details due to translation from Chinese to English, so I am very grateful to you for doing this. I enjoy getting all the extra context and perspective.

  Loved the breakdown. Genuinely one of the most melancholic songs I&apos;ve ever heard especially that one scene at the end of the MSQ(I won&apos;t spoil it, IYKYK)

  Omg, this song is already beautiful without knowing what behind the poetic words. But transcribed, it&apos;s become even more beautiful and carries more feelings. Thank you so much for the insight!

  I will admit, I&apos;ve never been much for Chinese as a singing language, but this song gave me chills every time it was used. And the final part of it, where all of them sang together, the floodgates opened up. This song I find very beautiful, and it was very interesting to get a deep dive into the lore of the song. So thank you so much for your work, and please, keep doing what you&apos;re doing. I tend to enjoy the story more when I know the lore behind things I&apos;m playing though or see.
