Beautiful Soul

Song by Xiaojuan, 2008-02-07

As time goes by
We’d be the souls of grace
In the distant sky
You the first might be
Or me
In hand a rose of holy
Waiting in Heaven
For each other patiently

Footnote:

Mr YU Zhou（于宙）, as shown in the image, an original member of Xiao Juan + Residents From the Valley, was unlawfully detained by the Chinese police in the evening of January 26, 2008, and died eleven days later on the eve of the Chinese New Year, in the Tongzhou Detention Centre, Beijing. Miss Xiaojuan posted this song on her blog on the new year’s day, February 7, 2008.

The video, a performance by the band shows Mr Yu who was the drummer, but the song wasn't related to the tragic event.
