Days Gone by Fayzz
Sometimes we start to look back on the past involuntarily. Every day comes and goes quietly, taking away those insignificant emotions and achievements. Looking up, people close their eyes and revel. They run, talk and laugh. They hug. They spend their days with drinking and scrolling short videos, instilling correct ideologies and values. . Struggling to death in the rankings and comment areas.
But time goes by, ruthlessly stealing the beauty and freedom that have been fought for. Capital engulfs emotions, and information enslaves the mind. The only remaining body is rolling around in the metropolis all day long. In the game prize pool…
When I also closed my eyes, the drumbeat started to ring in my ears. My body was pushed into the kaleidoscope of the past. Those impressive joys and angers, sighs and encouragements. The missed stories came back to me. Friends and lovers forgive me. He held my hand and raised it above his head. The sky began to become brighter. The sun penetrated the already inflamed body.
I'm glad that I found some beautiful pasts and put them in this album to fight against the pale future.
"Days Gone" is Fayzz's second full-length album released in 2023. It stores some emotions and thoughts about the past and present. It spanned about eight years from the germination of the motive to the final production of the song, with stops and starts, deletions and changes. Change. The outro was recorded in 2015 and the intro was drafted in 2023. We arranged these songs according to the order of the day and the ups and downs of our mood. Then we played and produced them in the way we are most familiar with. I hope we can watch a 45 together Minute movie. I also hope that every song in this album can help you clear the clouds and see the sun in the upcoming new day. We are all living in the depression of the same era. Try to turn these feelings into hands reaching into each other's. Retrieve those firm consciousnesses in our minds to inspire you and me.
If life is like a song, then we have already started turning. The needle is rubbing and swinging in the grooves of our bodies, conveying information, amplifying emotions. The progress bar is approaching. Time is also approaching. The countdown begins. Finally, we reach the far destination. Looking back, we see that the past is gone.

Credits
Chengdu based instrumentalists Fayzz made huge waves within the Chinese indie scene after they released their first full album “Connection”. With a tender yet playful elasticity to their vibrant ear-pleasing concoctions, their music tosses in elements of math rock, chill out, and even hip-hop flavored jazz, crafting an innovative and euphonic harmony-rich sound. Fayzz are operating on a fantastical level – capturing the breeziness, whimsy, anxiousness and beauty of the boundless jungle – both in the tropical and urban sense making “Connection” one of the best albums of the 2021. The band’s sophomore album “Days Gone”will be release on November 17, 2023 and brings Fayzz on a new journey. Their music, through their own evolution, encompasses a sound where intensity and beauty coexists.
