“Bomb Squad (拆弹专家)” was another composition by Danish indie rock band Dúné and arranged by Dúné and Bernard Zheng. Zhao Zhisheng, a young lyricist, wrote the rebellious and humorous lyrics. The style of the song is indie rock with imaginative, catchy lyrics. Vocals throughout the song are high-pitched and are accompanied by a chorus of children’s voices along with repeated rhythmic drumming and clapping sound effects. These stylings make the song novel, interesting, and easy for Martians to sing along with.
Released in 2014. The interlude music for the TV drama “My Sunshine (何以笙箫默)”.
This song is included in the first album “Quasimodo’s Gift”.

As soon as Hua Chenyu arrived home one day, he sat down at the piano and began to compose. “Let You Go” was the result. Beginning with the first harmony, the melody was already established, and Hua Chenyu was able to record the music as he played and sang. In his own words, it was “a song written in a song’s time.”
Released on August 26, 2014.
After listening to the demo for “Ashes From Fireworks”, Hua Chenyu felt that the delicate melody was quite suitable for his voice and decided to include it in this album. Xi Lou wrote the song in 2012 to comfort himself while going through a difficult time. The song was similar to the deeply personal song, “I Am What I Am”, covered by Hua Chenyu during the Super Boy 2013 competition. “Ashes From Fireworks” was not the typical kind of song that people were used to hearing.
Released on August 15 2014.
Toward the end of June 2014, when work on the album Quasimodo’s Gift was in its final stages, Hua Chenyu wrote “Why Nobody Fights” which was inspired by a most unlikely source. In an interview, Hua stated that the inspiration for this song came after watching a soccer match during his travels in Europe. He wanted to dedicate the song to his audience to encourage them to be true to themselves.
