The song "Horizon and Clouds" is soulful, gentle and full of emotion about a son's love for his father.
The lyrics by musician Viet Anh were inspired by the story of the character Lanh (Tuan Tran) and Mr. Dao (Meritorious Artist Hoai Linh) in the movie "Getting Rich with Ghosts".
His wife died early, so Mr. Dao had to raise Lanh alone. Although his job as a monk was hard, he was not afraid of hardship and only wanted to have money to take care of his child's education. Mr. Dao was both a father and a mother with boundless love for Lanh.
He always reminded his son of his dream of getting a high school diploma. However, Mr. Dao did not know that Lanh's biggest dream was to take care of his father when he was old.
Later, he suddenly changed his personality, from being diligent in working and studying to being addicted to cockfighting, wanting to earn a lot of money.
Seeing his son gradually becoming depraved and unable to stop him, Mr. Dao could only feel sadness and depression.
Lanh was equally hurt, because he had his own secret that he couldn't tell, so he could only silently watch his father misunderstand and be hurt because of him.
Musician Viet Anh revealed: “Right after watching the first film version of "Getting Rich with Ghosts", I was moved and sympathized with Lanh's story. I wanted to write a song told from the perspective of this guy when he had to hide a lot of his feelings, endure the pain of being misunderstood by his father just to have a lot of money to take care of him in the face of life's upheavals.”
The movie "Get Rich with Ghosts" is showing in theaters nationwide.
