I met two friends on Saturday. We are all fans of Mayday (a band in China). They are famous in China, but not the world. I heard their song when I was in the high school. The first time I saw their song, I think I recognized them for a long time, because although I didn’t know who they were, but their song are really familiar to me. Maybe their songs were famous than their self, and their songs are full of encourage. Their songs shows friendship, encourage, and also dreams.
