Like a Rolling Poem 2

Like a Rolling Poem 2

Can a poem change the world? *Like a Rolling Poem 2* continues its music-documentary exploration rooted in poetry, transforming six poems into songs and confronting the questions that define contemporary life. In *I Want to Live with You*, we search through loneliness for the desires that lie deepest within us; in *Lullaby of the North-Link Railway*, we contemplate the turning of time and the unease of parting; through *A Romantic Affair*, we unravel an attachment in which love and hate spring from the same source; in *The Cat That Walks Through Walls*, we encounter the imagination of freedom amid confinement and historical displacement; through *Watching for a Longer Time*, the presumed equivalence of love and hate is overturned, making room for tenderness; and finally, in *Apocalypse Blues*, we cut through the haze of our times, face crisis head-on, and rediscover the resilience of everyday life. More than an encounter between modern poetry and contemporary music, this is a philosophical inquiry into the human condition. Even if the world is as fleeting as a dream or a bubble, we still possess the freedom to choose kindness and love—to let them stir within us, and keep rolling onward.
