The songs Lonely in Hanoi and Sound of Hanoi are musical gifts to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Liberation of the Capital (October 10, 1954 - October 10, 2024) by musician Nguyen Thanh Trung.

The male musician said that the beauty of Hanoi always lies in the small moments, in the sudden feelings that anyone who has lived in the capital can recognize.

"Hanoi always has a very unique and special beauty. From the laughter, the street vendors' cries to the sound of vehicles, it creates a lively harmony of the streets. I especially like the cries of street vendors, these sounds seem to awaken a sleeping Hanoi.

Hanoi is not only beautiful because of its natural scenery, but also because of the soul of its people. This is the inspiration for me to write these two works...", Nguyen Thanh Trung said.

If in the song Lonely in the Middle of Hanoi, written in a minor key by the musician, it talks about the silent note in the middle of Hanoi, then in the song Thanh am Ha Noi , singer Duc Tuyen with his deep, thick and warm baritone voice has contributed to making Hanoi more beautiful with its rising power, worthy of the title City for Peace.

Understanding and loving Hanoi, musician Nguyen Thanh Trung has distilled beautiful images and memories and put them into his two songs about Hanoi with faith, pride and many aspirations in every note.

Nguyen Thanh Trung hopes that his two songs about Hanoi will bring the audience new and full emotions.

"I hope the sounds and melodies of the two songs will inspire listeners to return to the most beautiful memories of Hanoi," he confided.
