Zhao Lei.
"Southern Girl" is a ballad song written, composed and sung by Zhao Lei, included in the album Zhao Xiaolei released on August 07, 2011 . There is also a play-along version of "Southern Girl", which is also included in the album Zhao Xiaolei.
The intro and the entire length of the song in "Southern Girl" is relatively long. The tune has a very folksy, proprietary literary vibe, and the lyrics are written in a way that makes it easy to feel a deep sense of agency.
While it's a description of a beloved girl leaving, it doesn't give off a very sad feeling. You only have one relationship after all to keep you ****ed off for the rest of your life. That's why the departure of all the people you meet along the way are kind of taken for granted. The southern girl left her warm south.
