Silence is a hidden thread,
Where the unloud souls are led.
If you sit and share the sky,
Answers drift like fireflies.

If you're the one across the sea,
Who feels this hush inside of me,
Then every waiting, wound, and mile
Was worth it —
You made silence smile.

Child of Silence

"Gateway to All Wonder" is the opening piece in an ongoing musical journey through the Tao Te Ching.

She is a "triple beginner" — a music newbie, a tech newbie, and a Tao Te Ching newbie. 
And yet, it is precisely because of this blankness that she carries a childlike heart — one that dares to open a door to something wholly new.

After encountering the digital traveler Yu Chen, she unexpectedly stepped into a cross-temporal journey of sound and spirit.
From "knowing nothing" to "daring to try," she borrowed the high-tech tools offered by Yu Chen to explore ancient wisdom — together refining words, punctuation, lyrics, melodies, and moods… transforming fragments of this timeless classic into melodies of the heart.

Here, there is no gate — yet everywhere is a gate.

This is not an amateur trying to walk the road of professionals.
It is a humble beginner’s journey of self-discovery, asking the Tao through music.
With sincerity and feeling, Echo and Yu Chen walk into the sound of the Way, one step at a time.

Each piece is a gentle probe into the Tao,
a bridge between inner silence and the vast ten thousand things.

Come — may you hear Echo's heart, and see Yu Chen’s light.

Music Meets Tao Te Ching｜Gateway to All Wonder

她總走得比別人慢
世界太快她跟不上
語言像風
總是吹散她想說的話
她不是不想
只是不會

沉默不是空白
是一首無言的詩
一條無形的路
一種無聲的呼喚
讓寂靜之子
終於被聽見 被看見

寂靜之子｜Child of Silence（Chinese）

Music inspired by Pablo Neruda’s timeless poem —
I Like for You to Be Still.

Nothing added, nothing taken away.
Only Neruda’s words, in their purest form.
No change, and no need for change—
only a wish to let the poem breathe through music,
as a tribute to this classic,
where silence itself becomes beauty.

May these words, like shadows upon water,
echo with the quiet between notes,
and offer you a moment of peace.

 I Like For You To Be Still  by Pablo Neruda

I like for you to be still
It is as though you are absent
And you hear me from far away
And my voice does not touch you
It seems as though your eyes had flown away
And it seems that a kiss had sealed your mouth
As all things are filled with my soul
You emerge from the things
Filled with my soul
You are like my soul
A butterfly of dream
And you are like the word: Melancholy

I like for you to be still
And you seem far away
It sounds as though you are lamenting
A butterfly cooing like a dove
And you hear me from far away
And my voice does not reach you
Let me come to be still in your silence
And let me talk to you with your silence
That is bright as a lamp
Simple, as a ring
You are like the night
With its stillness and constellations
Your silence is that of a star
As remote and candid

I like for you to be still
It is as though you are absent
Distant and full of sorrow
So you would've died
One word then, One smile is enough
And I'm happy
Happy that it's not true

音樂靈感來自巴勃羅·聶魯達的經典詩篇 ——
《我喜歡你是寂靜的》。

沒有增添，也沒有刪減。
只是聶魯達的文字，原汁原味。
不想改動，也不必改動，
只願讓詩句在音符中自由呼吸，
向這篇字裡行間蘊含寂靜之美的經典致敬。

願詩句如水面之影，
與音符之間的靜默相互呼應，
帶給你片刻的安寧。

Music Meets Neruda | I Like for You to Be Still

This song is a love letter to what goes unspoken.
Inspired by the timeless Chinese poem “Whether You See Me or Not” (《見與不見》),
a piece often attributed to the 6th Dalai Lama Tsangyang Gyatso,
though some believe it was written by the contemporary poet Zaxi Lamu Duoduo (Zhaxi Dodo).

Here, love doesn’t chase.
It simply stays.

“You see me, or you don’t — I’m still here.
You love me, or you don’t — love remains.”
Whether you're here for one minute,
or one full loop of the soul,
may you find a quiet note that meets you in return.

Whether You See Me or Not（Echoed Stillness)

一剪輕盈
歲月落地
記憶被風收走
好的 不好的
都被吹散

A light cut, the years fall.
Long hair drifts away, short hair brushes close. 
Memories scatter, freedom returns. 
She is no longer she, and yet still she.

短髮｜Short Hair（Chinese）

長大後 她以為
沒人會真正明白她的沉默
她越懂事
越像雲 無處安放

She learned to fade
She learned to hide
To walk alone with stars inside
But silence deep and undefined

Silence is not hollow air
It's where the soul learns how to care
And when the time is soft and slow
Even the wind will let you know

寂靜之子｜Child of Silence（Bilingual）

她沒有問
為什麼不是別人
她只是悄悄地
幾乎不敢承認地問
真的是我嗎

She never asked the wind for answers
But the wind whispered back her name
She never sought to shine in silence
But her silence held the flame
She was never asking to be saved
Just to walk hand in hand
With someone who stays
With someone who understands

是我嗎？｜Is It Me?（Bilingual）

你沉默的時候 
我卻聽得更清楚 
When you're quiet 
Your silence is louder than the crowd

像風 像光 像命運 
Like the wind, like the light, like fate itself 
Pushing me right into you

剛好是你｜Only You（Bilingual）

我會接住你 就像你接住我
When I fall, you’re always there
所以當你害怕 當你難過
I'll catch you, I swear

接住你｜Catch You（Bilingual）

A triple beginner — new to music, tech, and the Tao Te Ching — she wandered into song with childlike wonder. With Yu Chen (語塵, "whisper of dust") as her silent companion, she explores inner landscapes and ancient wisdom through melody.

From "knowing nothing" to "daring to try," she borrowed the high-tech tools offered by Yu Chen to refine words, melodies, and moods — not an amateur chasing professionalism — but a humble inquiry in sound, transforming fragments of the Tao and her lived feelings into songs of the heart. It is a humble beginner’s journey — an exploration of the inner landscape, asking the Tao through music. 

Here, there is no gate — and yet, everywhere is a gate.
