about

This song was mostly recorded in Wenzhou. It started in my apartment where I recorded the guitar on my iPhone. Then I added some drums that I recorded in a big church (also on my iPhone). Later, I added a sample of a toy piano that I recorded in a little kids clothing store near my apartment (iPhone). The ending sample is of a Chinese voice from a loud speaker in a New Years Market in Hong Kong (from 2014). After that, I recorded fake bass & lead guitar. Finally, I recorded vocals one morning while waiting to using the toilet. That inspired the song title 公共厕所 (public toilet).

lyrics

I just wait and wait
to use the washroom.
Where else can I go?
All unsuitable.
I run place to place,
but still I can't find
a way to get clean.
Birdbath; not an option.
Feeling like trash.
Where else can I go?
All unsuitable.
