about

As humans, we may choose to run away from adversities. With our abilities, we can try to survive in a new environment. This is a way of self-help, as well as a choice.

Tim’s first composition for the band was inspired by migratory birds from the Northern Hemisphere that fly to the South in winter, illustrating the train of thoughts before and after a major decision is made by an individual, or a community. The song, in five different movements, is a rhapsodic poem that is both emotionally intertwined and precisely arranged.

Departure is a complicated process. It involves the desire for freedom, the greed for comfort, confusion and hesitation, pain and struggles. In the end, a decision must be made. If we choose never to return, it is probably our attitude that determines whether our lives are still lived in full, or even better.

遇上不合意，可選擇逃離。只要有能力，在新環境也可以繼續生存。這是自保，也是選擇。

Tim首次為組合創作，靈感源於北半球的候鳥在冬季會經北回歸線遷徙到南半球，描繪不論個人或者群體，作出重大抉擇前後的心路歷程。樂曲包含五部分，是一首情緒交錯及鋪排精密的幻想詩。

離開是一個複雜過程。當中有嚮往自由的憧憬、對安舒享受的貪圖，也有反複的迷惘與質疑、痛苦掙扎，最終還是要作出抉擇。若然是堅定地選擇不回歸，生活是否能依然燦爛，甚至更加美好，或許只是心態的問題。 (TT)
