Reminiscence
Li Jian Lyrics

The song “Reminiscence” by Li Jian, speaks about a love that has reached a level of deep devotion and the fear that comes with it. The lyrics demonstrate the beauty of seasons, where it is emphasized that autumn is the most loved of them all, for it’s the time when the singer in the song met his beloved. Autumn is personified, and the ‘falling leaves in the wind’ conveys the emotions hidden in the lyrics.

The singer speaks of how his love blossomed and he doesn't know how it happened or from where it came, but it is just there, dwelling within him. He speaks of the fear of losing his beloved, which adds a note of vulnerability and tension throughout the song. The central theme of the song is not just love, but the devotion that comes with true love. The lyricist has tried to convey that this devotion comes with sacrifice and giving oneself entirely. The singer in the song speaks of how he has loved, hated, faced struggles, and experienced heartbreak before finally finding true love, and despite everything, he hasn't given up on true love.

The song conveys the sense of comfort and belonging between two people in love, who make each other's lives whole. Undoubtedly, Li Jian's "Reminiscence" has a wonderfully introspective feel to its lyrics and music, which electrifies the emotions of the listener, evokes their memories, and takes them to a nostalgic trip.
