Gorgeous, hypnotic song from the 2022 album by Small Island Big Song 小島大歌. The MV was just posted today, and a live version was posted last week.
We have featured this group last year, check it out! About the group: Small Island Big Song is a collaboration of musicians across the Pacific & Indian Oceans, united for cultural and environmental justice. After hearing the IPCC report, in 2015, a couple, Taiwanese producer BaoBao Chen and Australian music producer/filmmaker Tim Cole, spent three years recording and filming with artists on their island homes, sharing songs from island to island. Outcomes include two award-winning albums, a feature film and a world-touring concert.

You sighed when you were pulled back into the bed by the arms around your torso.
"C/n," You whined, "I need to get up!" You tried to pry their arms around your waist off, but it wasn't any use.
"No!" They whined back, burying their face into the crook of your neck. "It's so early.. You can stay a few more minutes, they won't care."
"I guarantee you they will," you told them, "I've been late because of you enough!"
They didn't respond. You would guess they've already fallen back asleep if it wasn't for their arms tightening around you.
"Sorry, love, but you're not going anywhere." They told you, giving the base of your neck where it connected to your shoulder a kiss.
You sighed in annoyance, "Sometimes you annoy me so much that I want to start planning our wedding, just so I can very publicly divorce you."
You felt their amused smile against your neck. You couldn't help but smile, too. You knew you had to get up, or else you'd be late for the fourth time this week. But in all honesty.. You didn't want to leave their warm embrace, just like they didn't want you to leave it either.
