Founded 1997 in Nanjing by Yang Haisong, Sun Xia, Xu Feng and Yang Sen. P.K.14 played their first show in December of 1997 and since then they have released three albums and toured China and Europe extensively. Current line-up has gradually come together during the last seven years. The band is self managed and have released their material through Modern Sky, Sub Jam and Kuguabang.
P.K.14 occupies a space in Chinese music that might be analogous to that of Television or the Talking Heads in the New York of the 1970s. They are among the most thoughtful and self-referential of bands, with an enormous curiosity about music coupled with a complete inability to care about musical fashion. Among the older bands ( i.e. those formed before 2002) they have the greatest influence on Beijing's younger bands. But for all the love these bands have for P.K.14, and although they are at the heart of the Beijing scene and among the most loved and respected of the Chinese indie bands, at the same time they are unique and seem to be traveling in their own scene.

甜蜜的雨滴
P.K.14 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
看着雨水砸在门前的青石板上
这时候的大头一点也不觉得孤单
一点也不孤单
他想也许我应该变成一颗雨滴
以最美丽的姿势落下
和所有的人都不一样
永远不和他们一样
他看到自己向上飞
他看到自己向上飞
他看到自己向上飞
当大头向地面栽下去的时候
他确确实实地感到
(感到)他是一颗巨大的雨滴
(感到)他是一颗美丽的雨滴
(确确实实地感到)他是一颗巨大的雨滴
(感到)他是一颗甜蜜的雨滴
他的身体向上飞
他的身体向上飞
他的身体向上飞
他的身体向上飞
The lyrics to P.K.14's song 甜蜜的雨滴 ("Sweet Raindrops") tell the story of a character named 大头 (literally "big head") who enjoys sitting under the eaves of a house and watching raindrops fall onto the blue slate tiles in front of the door. Despite the solitude of this scene, 大头 does not feel lonely. Instead, he imagines himself becoming a raindrop and falling in a beautiful way unlike any other raindrop. He sees himself soaring up into the sky before finally falling to the ground and realizing that he is indeed a huge, beautiful raindrop. The repetition of the final stanza emphasizes 大头's transformation into a raindrop and the joy he feels, with the lyrics describing his body flying higher and higher as he finally achieves his desire to become a sweet and beautiful raindrop.
There are several possible interpretations of this song, but one possible meaning could be that 大头 represents a person who feels isolated from others and wants to become a part of something greater. By transforming into a raindrop and joining a larger collective, he finds a sense of belonging and purpose. Another interpretation could be that the raindrops represent individual artists or musicians who want to stand out and be unique in their work, but ultimately they are all part of the same creative community.
