Before the album Marching Forward was released, most people thought of Taiwanese-language music as mostly sticking to melodramatic themes of romance or hard luck. No one thought to use the Taiwanese language in rock to positively reflect personal experiences and dreams and give the music a rootsy vitality.
在《向前走》專輯問世之前，一般人對於台語歌的印象，多半停留在男歡女愛或哀怨命運的悲情苦調，從來不知道台語還可以結合搖滾、積極而正向地反映個人的生活經驗與夢想，營造出獨具草根性的生命力。
