《Beneath the Love》是一张将19世纪末至20世纪初夏威夷王国时期的歌曲与Hiliu的原创作品交织在一起的专辑,形成了一个连贯的叙事。专辑中收录了莉莉乌卡拉尼女王和卡拉卡瓦国王等历史人物的作品,以及玛丽·卡维纳·普库伊和查尔斯·爱德华·金等有影响力的文化贡献者的作品。这些歌曲反映了爱、失落、尊重、自然以及人与人之间深厚纽带的主题,保存了那个时代夏威夷的情感和精神世界。专辑的后半部分呈现了Hiliu的原创歌曲,包括《Because You Were There (Kimi Ga Ita Kara)》和《Two Hearts, One Unspoken Love (Futaribun No Kataomoi)》。这些作品将传统曲目的精神带入现代,通过现代音乐的视角表达爱与记忆。《Beneath the Love》这个标题代表了这样一个理念:在可见的爱之表达背后,潜藏着一种跨越时代的情感流动,这种情感在几代人之间不断延续。Beneath the Love is an album that weaves together songs from the era of the Hawaiian Kingdom (late 19th to early 20th century) with original compositions by Hiliu, forming a single, continuous narrative.The album features works by figures such as Queen Liliuokalani and King Kalākaua, as well as influential cultural contributors including Mary Kawena Pukui and Charles Edward King.These songs reflect themes of love, loss, respect, nature, and the deep bonds between people, preserving the emotional and spiritual world of Hawaii during that time.The latter part of the album presents original songs by Hiliu:Because You Were There (Kimi Ga Ita Kara) andTwo Hearts, One Unspoken Love (Futaribun No Kataomoi).These pieces carry the spirit of the traditional repertoire into the present, expressing love and memory through a modern musical lens.The title Beneath the Love represents the idea that beneath visible expressions of love lies a timeless current of emotion... one that continues to flow across generations.
