Lin and Zhong Yongfeng always get their inspiration from the people and circumstances around them. Planting Trees is based on a person who is unwilling to be named who has been planting trees around Meinung for the last eight years. As of now, this person has planted more than 3,000 trees. "I think this sort of quiet power is even more moving so I decided to record it in music," says Lin.
林生祥和鍾永豐一向善於從周遭人事找尋創作靈感，〈種樹〉一曲的靈感就來自他們一位不願曝光的友人，他從 8 年前就默默地在美濃各地種樹，至今所種的樹超過 3,000 棵，「我覺得這種安靜的力量更能震撼人心，因此才決心用音樂記錄下來，」林生祥說。
