 "Accompany Me For A Lifetime" is beautiful ballad song, beginning the album with much modern song writing, in compared to traditional hard rock where Wong Ka Kui very much influenced with. "The Unknown Hero" (Nameless Hero, literally), is in hard rock style with dark riffs and lyrics. "Still There Is Love" is another very soft pop ballad. "The Tender Killer" is notable for its piano riffs, also a ballad. "The Peaceful World" is hard rock song with notable English insertion lyrics, "..who we are?.. what're we do?..". Then a very favorite country rock style song in "Because There Are You And We" (Ying Wei You Ni You Wo), once again dig the theme of Beyond togetherness when the quartet still together. "Is It Right?" (Dui Ma) is a showcase of bass-riffs, that very much always play in the live concert from this point onward. "Dancing In The Rain" is pop rock in style. "We Don't Wanna Make It Without You" is their most emotional song about the lost of Ka-Kui. This song is fully instrumental with only choruses "...we don't wanna make it without you..".
