Thanks to my friend Sunny who introduced me to this song. Literally the title of this song is “Thinking is an Illness,” but the English name for the album is “Thinking of You” and so I’ll go with that.

This song is definitely one of my favorites. 張震嶽, or A-Yue, has a style that is in many ways similar to MC Hot Dog - the majority of his music has rap beats to it, and just like MC Hot Dog, he almost never repeats his lyrics except for the chorus. In an age where artists just write four or five lines and repeat them over and over again. Originality is truly not easy to find nowadays.

思念是一種病’s lyrics portray loneliness very well - another thing that sets A-Yue off from MC Hot Dog. While MC Hot Dog’s lyrics are usually cynical and sarcastic, his are true and so much more honest. Sharp-eyed readers may also remember him from the 我愛台妹 music video.
