Luo Tianyi - Half and Half (English Sub)

The title sounds like coffee creamer. But it's seriously a touching song (and about non-romantic love, for once!)

Song title: 一半一半 (Half and Half)
Composition/Lyrics/Tuning/PV: 鸟爷 (ToriSama)
Illustration: 墨魚 (Cuttlefish)

Uploader's comment: "I finally finished before the deadline, so I can relax for a bit... This is a birthday song for my dad, and even though my composing and mixing aren't very good, and I was completely confused while making a PV for the first time, I still spent a long time doing it, so please listen to it with emotion! I hope I can also convey this feeling to everyone's hearts! Thank you, Cuttlefish, for your illustrations (pixiv id=419705)! As usual, I'll add the download link in the comments in a little while."

I'm a huge ToriSama fan, I couldn't resist translating this once I saw it, despite ridiculous workload from school /whatareprioritiesiwantthose3hoursback

A few translation notes:
1:10 The "cycle of cause and effects," i.e. samsara, is the cycle of life/death/rebirth, so I just abbreviated it as "cycle of life."
3:07 This literally means harbor, or a place where you feel safe, comfortable, and at ease.
