They Hate The Kids

“Everything I Swallowed” is the emotional heart of the album. It voices the quiet cost of emotional repression, all the truths we bury to keep the peace. This is where the internal pressure finally rises, not to explode, but to be heard. It’s a slow purge, a soft reckoning.

Everything I Swallowed

Warszawa i ślepe pisanie

Morning mist, the sun climbs high
Yangtze and Jialing meet below the sky
Hongya Cave lights shining through the night
Noodle scents drifting, carried in the twilight

Crowds at Jiefangbei flow like streams
Light rail soaring through concrete dreams
A mountain city with rhythm and flame
Come and feel it, call its name

Hello Chongqing, yeah
Hotpot fire warms the soul
Hello Chongqing, yeah
The river lights make the dream glow
Thirty million smiles shine bright
Moving together in the night
In this city strong
Love forever shines on

Cable cars flying above the clouds
From Nanshan’s One Tree you see the crowds
Ciqikou’s alleys whisper old time song
Night markets buzzing all night long

Crowds at Jiefangbei flow like streams
Light rail soaring through concrete dreams
A mountain city with rhythm and flame
Come and feel it, call its name

Hello Chongqing, yeah
Hotpot fire warms the soul
Hello Chongqing, yeah
The river lights make the dream glow
Thirty million smiles shine bright
Moving together in the night
In this city strong

Come, my friend, walk with me
The mountain city’s story is free
Every heart lit by the scene
Chongqing forever welcoming

Crowds at Jiefangbei flow like streams
Light rail soaring through concrete dreams
A mountain city with rhythm and flame
Come and feel it, call its name

Hello Chongqing, yeah
Hotpot fire warms the soul
Hello Chongqing, yeah
The river lights make the dream glow
Thirty million smiles shine bright
Moving together in the night
In this city strong

Hello Chongqing, yeah
Hotpot fire warms the soul
Hello Chongqing, yeah
Two great rivers sing as they flow
Thirty million smiles shine bright
Moving together in the night
In this city strong
Love forever shines on

Coachie - Chongqing

Two versions of a genre-blending country song with a warm, vintage feel, reminiscent of classic R&B and doo-wop. Perfect for a slow dance or “making sweet music”.

Sweet Music (ft. Imogen Forger) (B-Side)

[Verse 1: Male]
Out where the trail bends with the wind,
Under a sky where stars begin,
The dust it rises, the sun sinks low,
Two roads ahead, which way to go?
[Verse 2: Female]
The whispers ride on the evening air,
A voice that calls, "Child, I’m there."
One path is thorned, the other shines,
The choice is yours, the truth divine.
[Chorus: Both]
Choose life, oh rider, choose life, my friend,
The trail of mercy, where love won’t end.
Leave behind the shadows, the fleeting breath,
Choose life, not the path of death.
[Verse 3: Male]
I’ve felt the weight of a sinner’s hand,
Built my house on shifting sand.
But the prairie wide, it speaks so clear,
A promised land, a voice I hear.
[Verse 4: Female]
I’ve walked the line where shadows fall,
I’ve heard His name in the canyon’s call.
The dust may cling, the climb may steep,
But the Shepherd’s watch is mine to keep.
[Prechorus: Both]
Oh, the crossroads rise where the fences break,
The heart must choose which path to take.

Two Paths One choice OV
