There is a Funeral in My Heart, For Every Man I Loved is a portrait of the archetypes of human conditions in the form of a collection of unrequited love stories through the perspective of a woman who tragically and willingly falls into romantic affairs that were doomed from the start. In a way she’s designed her own stories and played out the same role ritualistically over and over, but she doesn’t know why. Cycling through a constant of attachment and detachment, encounters and departures, she sees love as flames, unattainable, with lust and love eventually burnt out like yesterday's dream. She tells her stories while seeking for answers and ultimately transcendence through these songs. She accepts the pain from each and every experience she chooses to have, but she has to heal her wounds alone so she invariably leaves the situation, returning to her default state of otherworldliness. For this album, written half-and-half in English and Chinese language, Fifi Rong presents herself as composer, writer, and producer. Rong has taken a feminine, delicate and vocal-led approach, inspired by a meeting with a Peruvian Shaman during an ayahuasca retreat in 2019 which helped her realize that the raw vocal coming from the soul is the most intimate, vulnerable, yet powerful instrument there is. "To let music live, I had to let everything else die in my heart. But the ghosts of doomed romances had nowhere to go except to find their way into ... There Is A Funeral In My Heart, For Every Man I Loved (心葬)’: my greatest, most important and intimate body of work to date." - Fifi Rong
