Music for the Novel
The Only Home I Know (Still You Say My Name)
You come into my room And you seem to know my name You keep me calm and still Every time you call me again I used to keep all my keys In the old bowl by the door But whenever you are not here I forget what they are for And I try to play it cool But you see that right through One touch and I fold Back onto you You’re my safe place My own heartbeat song You stay close When the world feels wrong When the world feels wrong You’re my safe place The only home I know Stay right here with me Don’t let me go Your pen left on my chair Your voice down the hall Those little signs of you Are proof you were here at all We flew straight for the light Like a moth to a flame Still you kept me warm Still you say my name And I try to play it cool But you see that right through One touch and I fold Back onto you You’re my safe place My own heartbeat song You stay close When the world feels wrong When the world feels wrong You’re my safe place The only home I know Stay right here with me Don’t let me go If the night gets long I’d be your light If you shake apart I’d hold you tight No grand promises Just my hand in yours Every time I wake Leads back to your door You’re my safe place My own heartbeat song You stay close When the world feels wrong When the world feels wrong You're my safe place The only home I know Stay right here with me Don’t let me go Stay right here with me Don’t let me go
我想被看見
人群總將我淹沒 沒人肯抬一次頭 螢幕亮了又暗掉 名單從沒寫過我 聲音已練到沙啞 夜晚熬成白晝 人們都擦肩而過 當我從來沒有來過 我說我不在乎 其實我很清楚 寧願被討厭 也不要活得像個廢物 我想被看見 不要活成一片空氣 記住我 別當我沒呼吸 Oh 別當我透明 我想被看見 活著要留下些痕跡 讓世界記得我名字 別讓我被忘記 牆上別人的海報 燈光不為我轉彎 我唱了一整個夜晚 回音只有我自己 明天如果我不在 連個影子都不留 這一生還能算什麼 總不能空手到最後 我說我不在乎 其實我很清楚 寧願被討厭 也不要活得像個廢物 我想被看見 不要活成一片空氣 記住我 別當我沒呼吸 Oh 別當我透明 我想被看見 活著要留下些痕跡 讓世界記得我名字 別讓我被忘記 我不求當傳奇 只求被記得 不要死成路人 不要剩下空氣 哪怕我的名字 刻在誰心裡 我也知道我沒白走一次 我想被看見 不要活成一片空氣 記住我 別當我沒呼吸 不要默默無名 我想被看見 活著要留下些痕跡 讓世界記得我名字 不要把我忘記

FEATURED NOVEL
The Anatta Paradox
The Self That Remains
After watching a devastating neurological disease erase his wife piece by piece, neurosurgeon Dr Wei Li devotes his life to restoring what the brain has lost.
His experimental neural implant is designed to reconnect damaged pathways and return movement to the paralysed. When Daniel Brooks, a young man unable to walk after a catastrophic accident, becomes its first human recipient, the results exceed everything Wei believed possible.
What emerges from his recovery defies explanation, drawing attention from those who see a miracle, and those who see something far more dangerous.
As Wei’s breakthrough slips beyond his control, he must confront the question buried at the heart of his grief: do our memories keep the people we love alive, or imprison us within what we have lost?
Blending neuroscience and philosophy, The Anattā Paradox: The Self That Remains is a medical thriller about memory, identity, and the price of refusing to let go.
Goodreads Review, Elizabeth M. Herrera, Author of Tales Of A Time Weaver
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "This story was very well written. The author’s approach reminded me of Michael Crichton—technical and intelligent, but with a great story driving it. I became genuinely attached to the main characters and invested in what happened to them. Highly recommend!"
Goodreads Review, Janet Pointon, Author of The Invisible Caravan
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I found The Anatta Paradox: The Self That Remains by Vincent Yiu a very interesting read. I think it would be a good story for a Book Club to discuss, with so many ideas relevant to today's fast-emerging AI. I await a sequel!"
