We Love Hakka (Song: 生祥樂隊-江湖卡夫卡 Kafka on the Rivers-and-Lakes)

以前生祥樂隊的歌曲大多講述家鄉、社會運動等議題，但《江湖卡夫卡》這首歌曲的作詞者、鍾永豐一改以往風格，從自傳性質出發。 鍾永豐回顧曾是官僚體系裡渺小一員的自己，面對無能為力解決的難題，有種「人在江湖、身不由己」的無奈感。就好像卡夫卡「變形記」的主角，即使自己變成蟲子卻毫不關心身體為什麼會變形，反而一心為要如何繼續賺錢養家而苦惱。一切都卡住了、一切都像無法羽化成為蝴蝶的蟲，永遠到不了下一個階段。 Sheng Xiang & Band’s previous songs primarily discussed themes related to home and social activism. However, with the song "Kafka on the Rivers-and-Lakes," lyricist鍾永豐breaks away from this tradition and uses a more autobiographical perspective. In the song, 鍾永豐revisits his earlier days as a small cog in the bureaucratic machine, confronting challenging issues that he was powerless to resolve. This evokes a sense of desperation, much like being caught up in the world, with no control over one's destiny. This situation draws parallels with the main character in Kafka's "Metamorphosis," who, despite his own transformation into a bug, is not concerned about why his body has changed. Rather, his primary concern is how he can continue to provide for his family. Everything feels trapped, like an insect unable to transform into a butterfly, perpetually incapable of progressing to the next stage. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
