1. Swaying
Swaying is a simply structured song talking about the imbalance in class between two lovers, inspired by the story of Fairy Tien Dung - Chu Dong Tu. Expressed in the ancient style: I, the guy, climb high mountains for you, through rain and autumn clouds, love melts like silver/ I, the girl, cross deep rivers for you/ Drifting fragrance, drifting flowers, dispersing the destiny of jade... but the spirit of the female character wanting to overcome the barriers is quite clear: Why hesitate, my love. Kiss me, hold me tight to shatter the swaying.
Swaying can be said to be the song that made the name of Lê Cát Trọng Lý. The petite girl first appeared with a guitar on the stage of the Vietnamese Song that year, excellently winning the Song of the Year award.
Swaying comforts the soul, swaying tells the story of moments of weakness, the uncertainty that belongs to each of us. Because those swaying moments are our story, feeling much more comforting.
