People mountain, people sea
soaring towers and crowded streets
from the harbour to the mountain peaks
This is a city truly unique

I have lived here since eighty-five
through the sunshine, and through hard times
but it holds me, like a love that’s torn
that will stand strong through every storm

Chorus:
I’ve climbed the mountains
I’ve walked these streets
this town this village that never sleeps
So many faces both young and old
This fragrant harbour
this is my home

This is a city that’s a sea of lights
it still shines on through the darkest night
just like a candle an eternal flame
I know this city has called my name

Chorus:
I’ve climbed the mountains
I’ve walked these streets
this town this village that never sleeps
So many faces both young and old
This fragrant harbour
this is my home

Bridge: We’re filled with hopes and dreams
to live our lives in joy and peace
I will stay here I will not go
Because I’m proud to call this place my home
This is my home

Chorus:
I’ve climbed the mountains
I’ve walked these streets
this town this village that never sleeps
So many faces both young and old
This fragrant harbour
this is my home

through the good times, and through the pain,
through the sunshine and through the rain
this is the home where we belong
And I have faith we will stand strong
Yes I have faith in my Hong Kong

Virgin Vacation, an instrumental quartet that blend math rock, improvisation jazz, krautrock and electronic beats, have released their eponymous debut EP on cassette, vinyl and digital formats – available from Bandcamp

The EP kicks off with a sound collage of a woman’s voice dispassionately recounting events related to the Hong Kong protests—before being crowded out by multiple copies of itself and a rising drone, reflecting the overwhelming news cycle in the city.

Independent comic book artist Lai Tat Tat Wing illustrates provides the EP’s cover art.
