历时两年，鹤 The Crane 完成了他的第二张专辑『Same Stories, Different Narratives』，意即为「相同故事，不同叙事」。

从上古神话、寓言、经文，到近代小说、电影、甚至是网路文章，无数的故事重复着相似的爱恨情仇，仿佛只要神话仍被流传，人类的生活就还乘载着相似的情节，不只彼此心领神会，甚至能从中获得新的感动，这便是这张专辑的主旨。

『Same Stories, Different Narratives』是有关一个反派角色的爱恨情仇，这个反派依旧叫做 The Crane，但他的身影穿梭在错乱的年代，只有透过实体黑胶的内容才能拼凑出它粗略的样貌。

先行单曲「VILLAIN」显然是反派的主题曲，「我成为故事中的坏人，好让你得到如雷掌声」，或许也引导出了感情中的另一种「不同叙事」。对错永远没有得到解答的一天，但此时的我肯定站在了你的对面。

「TRUST」始于一声枪响，而这颗子弹落在了过于嘈杂的鸟声中。主角对同类痛下毒手，这场戏显然是关于受到背叛的愤怒感。

这便是属于The Crane的「恨」。

「雪屋 / IGLOOOO」则像是冰天雪地里的晨光，而 moon tang 的声音就是那道暖阳。在这座雪屋里，主角孤身一人，想像在世界彼端的热带，有着自己向往的生活条件，以及得以交付自我的对象。

若我告诉妳，妳就在我「心脏的右边」，那这样算是占有吗？与魏如萱的合作曲，是这张专辑最脆弱的角落。仅仅知道明天就能相见，对我仍不足够。希望魔法能让今晚变得特别短，好让我们提早见面。

到此即是属于The Crane的「爱」。

如果「Same Story」和「Different Narrative」是这本书的封套，「take it or leave it」则像是书签，纪录着写到一个段落，书中的内容，与此时握笔的我所相呼应的地方。可说是：以前的我总那样那样，现在的我可以这样这样，如此如此。

步行在生命旅途的时间愈长，愈会发现此刻的自己，无意间踏的皆是前人的路、领会前人的领会。有些人看地图、有些人看天象，有些人则另辟蹊径、期望开疆辟土，而回过头来，一切都成为了新的故事，却又仿佛预言一般，完成一场命运的安排，而后便成为历史。

After two years of preparation, The Crane returns with his second concept album Same Stories, Different Narratives.

From ancient mythologies and fables to modern novels and films, humanity has always told tales of love and hate, betrayal and redemption — stories that echo through time. Yet each generation finds new ways to tell them, to feel them. This album is The Crane’s own narrative. Here, he steps into the role of a villain — revealing his inner struggles with resentment, “DISEASE”, “TRUST”, and of course, love.

"VILLAIN" is the theme song of the antagonist — "I died so you could get that loud applause" — perhaps revealing yet another “different narrative” within a relationship. Right and wrong may never be clearly answered, but at this moment, it’s crystal clear that one is standing on the opposite side of the other.

The lead single, “Right Side of My Heart”, features renowned singer waa Wei, blending Classical Pop sounds with the bittersweet emotions of a blooming yet distant affection.

Another highlight of the album, “IGLOOOO”, featuring moon tang, tells the story of a solitary figure living in an igloo, dreaming of tropical warmth and the woman he longs for, in this upbeat alternative R&B groove.

The starting and ending track “Same Story” and “Different Narrative” encapsulates the whole album like the covers of a journal in use. The tracks end but The Crane’s journaling has not. Through the tip of his pen, turns the leaving present to the past, and the future to the present. Synchronizing his thoughts and emotions with the listener through the album, and becoming a fresh part of the forever told story.
