01.Intro
This is a short intro with acoustic guitars, opening for this long concept album. we use 3 beats & 5 beats combinations in each 8 beats bar, a kind of special perform style for acoustic guitar, it was written after all songs except The End.

02.Tears
The album title, "Ai", is the word for "love" in Chinese. Every single song on this album tells of "the love of Seraphim" in different ways.
"Tears" that tells the tears of love, just like the lyrics "who's gonna shed the teardrops that fall in loneliness? is that you? maybe it's me...
A speedy tempo with melodic guitars riff in this song, also make change
tempo in guitar's solo part. "Tears" is the typical style of Seraphim's
music.

03.Resurrect
We use middle-eastern style of sitar with heavy power chords background to make the song more weird, open with a lonely night-singing at the beginning of this song. "The love will resurrect?" you may had a judgment after listening this song.
A kind of a hard tempo change style before guitar solos part is one of
important part of this song, the duet guitar solos of "Resurrect" is my
favorite in this album.

04.Implementation
The duet of operatic female vocal & male death vocal that first appear in
this album. the dialogue between angel and devil.
The harmony duet guitars opening for this song building a strong song's
structure in the beginning, this song talking about if you eager to be love, you have to know about how to love and implementation.
I only have a humble mind that longs for love & implementation, and you?!

05.Desperate
This song is first time attempt to written in mid-tempo within sadly
atmosphere. Love usually instigates everyone break in the abyss of despair. Love is a game, easy to start, hard to finish.

06.Can't Take
A typical high speed power metal style of Seraphim's music. the crazy double bass drums and powerful guitars picking rhythm made this song explode ordinary people's mind while everytime listening at midnight. you can find out the melody from Pachelbel's Canon in the end of this song, very interesting things with such heavy music background...
No matter how difficult to separate the love, but you just can't take...

07.My
A sentimental ballad with clear male vocal that appears in this song. it's also the fist time attempt to write this song with clear vocal. and
actually, I can't image what this song will be between the operatic female vocal & the clear male vocal while it was written. and, finally it seems not bad...I think.
"Walk alone leisurely, don't let tears down before your eyes, I'm staring at you in a hush, there's only sadness", yeah, it's the love of mine.

08.In The Air
A blaming mistake from the screaming beast tells the love will disappear in the air. We use a harpsichord in the beginning of this song, trying to make it sounds more emotional, we also use the different repeat chapter to make some change for this song, pretty cool idea!

09.Gone
Love is gone when you're listening this instrumental.

10.Before
The first song's written of this album, many more chapters and just a little repeat for this song. The progressive tempo at the chorus section sometimes make me go insane, our lead vocal - Pay usually complain about this, especially to a classical opera singer...but I love to do that... yeah, "it's you , makes my courage disappear, I can't recall before I was in love".

11.Is That?
A musical recitation of words, this song's main structure with acoustic
guitars and a solo cello, you may just listen her angelic singing, that is enough!

12.Instantaneous
A typical epic closer again. I try to put this song more slower although it is standing on the most important part of this album. I use a modulation when song's going to the chorus, a minor key direct to a major key, one of my favorite technique of song's written. sounds good?! hehe... complicated chapters and variety of this song that makes every band members hates me a lot, but I still interesting in it.
An instantaneous love turn into an eternal fate...who knows?!

13.The End
Yeah, it's the end of this album, continued the music from the previous song with acoustic guitars background again. Pay's lyrical singing without a word, an interactive opus to the intro.
