Love is complicated to the nth degree. That, my friends, might be an understatement. The complicated, complex nature of love is something that gay Taiwanese singer-songwriter, Hush (Chen Pin-he) captures superbly on his single, “當我們談論愛情” (“What We Talk About”). The Mandopop musician articulates his thoughts poetically.  Sure, the English translation doesn’t perfectly capture the Chinese lyrics, but the essence is there (“We have learned to recognize the tacit understanding in our eyes”).  Hush penned this song, which he comments about via IG [translated]:

“If he had said he loved me then, would he have continued to do so until now? I don’t think so, otherwise I wouldn’t be saying such stupid things here.

That false sense of satisfaction, perhaps in the end, will be the same no matter who gives it.”

Passionate love, loving, abnormal love, attachment, unrequited love…what are we talking about when we talk about love?

The handsome and talented 40-year-old musician ‘brings the heat’ throughout “當我們談論愛情” (When we talk about love)”.  His voice sounds stunning – simply beautiful! He sings with authenticity and incredible sincerity as he sings about the wide-ranging emotions of love. “Occasionally, I think of the time I spent with him / I’ve heard a lot about him since then,” he sings [translated], in the first verse.  He continues, “I’ve heard a lot about him, how his heart left him / We talk about the different paths that once belonged to each of us.” Later, he honestly asserts, “I’d rather he’d just lie /… At that time, he couldn’t tell the truth / When he did, he was just like everyone else.” Beyond the elite vocals and love-talk, Hush is supported by radiant music accompaniment (piano, guitars, bass, and drums). Even without understanding the Chinese, the plight of love is easily perceptible. Hush “shines bright like a diamond” on “當我們談論愛情” (“What We Talk About”).
