【The Empire】是知名製作人 陶山老師 在西雅圖的樂團，於1997年陶山 還在唸高中時組成，團員是5個和他一起長大的好朋友，五個人都會創作唱歌，也都精通多種樂器。
2003年 莫文蔚《愛死你》，2015年 謝和弦 & 王詩安《愛不需要裝乖》，當年未發行的demo都是由【The Empire】演唱。
【The Empire】的五名團員，現在都已經是音樂圈裡知名的音樂人；
除了 陶山老師 (http://www.skotsuyama.com) 在華語音樂裡有著“超強主打製造機”的名號之外；女主唱 Melissa Reese (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melissa_Reese) 也加入了世界知名樂團 “槍與玫瑰” ，在全世界巡演；男主唱 Matt Gervais 也加入了美國知名樂團 “The Head and the Heart” (http://www.theheadandtheheart.com) 在全美巡迴演出；另外主唱 Mike Gervais 也出了一張兒童音樂專輯 - “Mikey TheRadScientist” (http://mikeymikemusic.weebly.com) 在西雅圖到處為兒童做音樂表演；還有主唱 Tobias Burch 也創立了一個重金屬樂團Amort，繼續做他喜歡的音樂。
《Never the Point》這首歌是在某一年，陶山 回到西雅圖時，因為剛失戀，在飛機上很快地寫出了這一首歌曲，回到家和這五個好朋友聚會時，團員們迅速的加上更多歌詞和idea，改用歡樂的氣氛玩出了這一首歌曲，安慰了當時情傷的陶山。
所以《Never the Point》雖然是一首心碎的歌曲，但你可以聽到珍貴且深厚的友誼在裡面，這就是【The Empire】樂團的魔力！
【The Empire】五個團員：
因為音樂，變成了好朋友；
用著音樂，療癒安慰彼此；
最後，在對音樂的愛裡，一起長大！
【The Empire】，這是一個代表對音樂最純粹的愛和友情的樂團。
The Empire is Mandarin music producer, Skot Suyama’s Seattle-based band that was formed in 1997 while they were in high school. Other than Skot, whose influence as a hit-making producer is prominent within the Asian region, Melissa Reese is also part of American legend Guns n’ Roses’ world tour. While Matt Gervais is part of well-known American band The Head and the Heart currently touring across the U.S. Mike Gervais also writes children’s music, releasing an album Mikey Mike, The Rad Scientist. Tobias Burch occasionally makes funeral doom music with his band, which consists of only himself, Amort.
Never The Point was written when Skot returned to Seattle one year, and because he had recently broken up with his girlfriend (who he later married), wrote the verse and chorus for it on the plane. When he got home and met up with his five friends, the other band members quickly threw out more lyrics and ideas, to create this song and cheer up the broken-hearted Skot.

Never The Point
我們的愛不是那樣
Music/Lyrics: Skot Suyama (陶山), Melissa Reese, Matt Gervais, Mike Gervais, Tobias Burch
Should I remove the tattoos that I got for you?
我該把為了你而刺的刺青除掉嗎？
nah fuck that shit, I’d rather play it cool
算了我不想管，寧可假裝不在乎
Cause nobody knows what life could bring,
因為沒有人知道生命想帶給你什麼
and then everything is just everything
然後一切事情都還是一樣
And I always thought that you could be my wife
我一直以為妳會成為我的老婆
But everybody changes, that’s the nature of life
可是人會變，這就是宇宙定律
And if you be friends to the very end, we can just pretend
如果你覺得我們可以永遠做朋友，那我們就這樣假裝
But that was never the point of you and I and us,
可是你跟我都知道，我們的愛根本不是那樣
Never the point, baby, of love
我們的愛根本不是那樣
You know your heart’s the only thing you can trust
你知道你的心想要什麼
Don’t let your mind fuck you up too much
不要讓你的頭腦把自己弄得太混亂
But if it gets in the way, then all I can say is
但如果最後，你的頭腦贏了你的心，我也只能說
‘I’ll miss you when you're gone’
妳離開之後我會想妳的
And I’ll try my best to move on
而且我會努力忘記妳，繼續生活
Do I remove the tattoo that I got for you?
我該把為了你而刺的刺青除掉嗎？
Or do I put you through the pain that you put me through?
還是我該讓妳試試看妳到底讓我多痛苦？
Do I hate you and blame you? Wish I never had dated you?
我是不是恨妳，怪妳，寧願我們從來沒有在一起過？
Or take a little vacation, get away, and hope that someday I’ll forget you?
還是去渡個假，離開傷心地，希望總有一天我會忘記妳？
Cause to me, love is dead, you went and shot it in the head
因為對我來說，我的愛情已死亡，被你殺死的愛
I bet you’ve never have guessed it be hard to stay friends
妳應該從來沒想過只是當朋友有多困難
While my heart’s still so broken
當我還在心碎時
But that was never the point of you and I and us,
可是你跟我都心知肚明，我們之間的愛根本不是那樣
Never the point, baby, of love
我們的愛根本不是那樣
You know your heart’s the only thing you can trust
你永遠都知道自己的心想要什麼
Don’t let your mind fuck you up too much
不要讓你的頭腦把自己弄得太混亂
But if it gets in the way, then all I can say is
但如果最後，你的頭腦贏了你的心，我也只能說
‘I’ll miss you when you're gone’
妳離開之後我會想妳的
And I’ll try my best to move on
而且我會努力忘記妳，繼續生活
Well, it didn’t take too long, for us to know
當初我們很快就知道
we’d be lovers and nothing more
我們的心只想在一起
But it feels so wrong singing love songs
但唱情歌時總是覺得不對勁
just to prove ourselves to each other darling over and over again
只是一直地保證彼此我們會是情人
But that was never the point of you and I and us,
可是你跟我都心知肚明，我們之間的愛根本不是那樣
Never the point, baby, of love
我們的愛根本不是那樣
You know your heart’s the only thing you can trust
你永遠都知道自己的心想要什麼
Don’t let your mind fuck you up too much
不要讓你的頭腦把自己弄得太混亂
But if it gets in the way, then all I can say is
但如果最後，你的頭腦贏了你的心，我也只能說
‘I’ll miss you when you're gone’
妳離開之後我會想妳的
And I’ll try my best to move on
而且我會努力忘記妳，繼續生活
