The song that I fell in love with as soon as I heard it, "Having Peach Blossoms," is a track from Xu Song's fifth album "Better to Have Tea." Among all the songs on the album, this one is the most imbued with a sense of retro nostalgia. The song cleverly and humorously uses the famous 1940s song "Kangding Love Song" by Teacher Li Yiruo as its prelude, and incorporates the weathered tones of the elderly in Qin opera folk tunes at the ending of the song. Additionally, the famous humorous tune from the late Tang period, sung by young gentlemen while greeting unfamiliar girls, "Peach blossoms under the sun do not laugh at the spring breeze," all brim with a retro and nostalgic musical charm.\Chinese Name: Have Peach Blossoms\Album: Better Go Drink Tea\Song Duration: 04:02\Release Date: 2014-08-22\Original Singer: Xu Song\Lyrics: Xu Song\Composition: Xu Song\Arrangement: Li Ronghao\Music Style: Pop, Retro, Nostalgic\Song Language: Mandarin\Song Lyrics\Have Peach Blossoms\Lyrics and Composition: Xu Song\Arrangement: Li Ronghao\Vocals: Xu Song\Enjoying flowers and appreciating the moon is not my skill\Nor am I as stylish and generous as others\Many friends have advised me not to pursue you anymore\Not to be a fish in love with the desert
But I know they don't understand you\I'm not that easy to give up either\Among the vast sea of people, there is a sincere heart\Whether to choose is up to you
It's almost bad luck, but I've been striving\Every time I see you, it strengthens my determination to love

\●Enjoying flowers and appreciating the moon is not my skill\Nor am I as stylish and generous as others
Sad and sorrowful music is not my strongest suit, nor can I compare to others who are stylish and generous: Here Xu Song straightforwardly expresses his boundless approach to music creation and also reveals his low-key personality.● Many friends have advised me not to keep following you, not to be a fish in love with the desert. Many friends have advised me not to chase you, not to like you, saying there's no need to go against mainstream trends to choose you. This lyric, from Xu Song's perspective as a fan, expresses a situation many fans have experienced, laying the groundwork for the following lyrics, connecting what's before and what's next.
● But I know they don't understand you; I'm not that easy to give up. I know they all don't understand you, but I won't give up on you because of their words. This expresses the hope that every fan can have a steadfast heart.
● Among the vast sea of people, there is a sincere heart; whether to accept it is up to you. In the vast world, among the crowd, I have a sincere heart. Whether you accept it is your choice. Xu Song expresses his sincerity and genuine feelings here.
● It might be a bit unlucky, but I keep trying; every time I see you, I strengthen my determination to love. Returning to the fan's perspective again, sung with Xu Song's unique emphasis, with a touch of humor and playfulness, making people feel refreshed and firm in their faith.
● Please love me, even if you still have some confusion in your heart; please love me, I am willing to give you everything I have. Please love me, even if there are things about me you don't understand yet; please love me, I am willing to give you all I have. This is comparable to the line in "Why Not" that goes 'Giving up the world for you, why not,' giving warmth and infusing confidence in Xu Song.
● Please love me, stop wasting your brain on rational thinking; time will prove you haven't seen wrong. Please love me, overthinking is meaningless, reason conquers everything, and time proves all. With a firm tone, hesitant fans cannot refuse Xu Song's 'seduction.'
● Lotus flowers reflected in sunlight are uniquely red; peach blossoms in the sun don't mock the spring breeze; who belongs to whose peach blossom is still hard to say, I am too proactive. Beautiful world, unlimited scenery, lotus flowers bright. ['Peach blossoms in the sun don't mock the spring breeze'] is originally ['Peach blossoms still smile at the spring breeze'] from the ancient poem 'Inscription at the Southern Village of the Capital,' meaning 'peach blossoms still bloom facing the spring breeze, creating a poignant beauty.' The lyric says 'don't mock the spring breeze,' implying that peach blossoms shouldn't bloom facing the wind. Who belongs to whose peach blossom is still hard to say—me (Xu Song) and you (friends), who is whose peach blossom, who is the spring breeze, who admires whom, it's hard to tell!——And I (Xu Song) actively sought warmth for my heart…\
● This song by Xu Song belongs to the same category as his songs "What's Not Possible," "In That Not So Distant Place," and "Little Troubles Aren't a Big Deal." The melody is lively, gentle, and soft, and listening to it makes one feel refreshed and filled with warmth.\
● The prelude of the song includes a segment from the "Kangding Love Song," which is eye-catching; then comes Xu Song's magnetic voice, "There are peach blossoms, there are peach blossoms, whose peach blossoms are they…," seeming to drift from afar, enchanting the listener.\
The entire arrangement is flexible; although the rhythm is fast, the timbre is mellow.\
● Xu Song's voice is as it always has been: bright and clean, with clear enunciation. His familiar tonal style, like a gentle breeze, continues to convey warmth.
