    If you want and deserve more, this is the package for you. Imagine it: I will sign your CD, add two of my favorite Chinese snack foods to your order and give you a tour poster featuring the album cover artwork.

    About the snacks: Do you like when sweet and salty meet? I will send you two "Kiss-burn" snacks. What is it? It is a meatless jerky made from gluten. That may not get you excited on its own...but the spices? Divine. Your mouth will delight with the perfect blend of sweet, salty and a hint of spicy. You are getting two because immediately after eating one you will think, "I can't wait to eat the other one later." 'Later' will be moments later when you think, "Oh hell, I want it now."

about

Written originally as a duet, this song is an imagining of what it will be like to be separated and what missing each other will be like. The song had been recorded for some time before Xia GuiLan added her background vocals. Her voice brings a haunting sound of longing and heartbreak to the track.

lyrics

My dear friend I miss you so much.
If you have some time I’d like to stay in touch
If you’re feeling sad I’d lay on the ground beside you and let you know how I love your smile

The day you left me oh, I can’t forget
your disappointment and my regret.
I hope that you’re happy, so far away. I wish you’d come back into my arms and I could love you again

My dear friend
I’m gonna tell the world that
We…we are hopeless
We…we both know this
Our hearts…our hearts have been broken
And I…I thought you could help this one more time

Where I live now is nice. I’ve made some friends
I tell each one about you. Do they understand?
My best years were with you, my funny one. When I look to the past I know the joy that we shared was true.

Such a great distance, is it selfish that
I want more happiness and to hear your laugh?
If one day I have money, I’d come to your door so you could pull me tight into your arms and I would feel your love

My dear friend
I’m gonna tell the world that
We…we are hopeless
We…we both know this
Our hearts…our hearts have been broken
And I…I thought you could help this one more time
