Everything I Never Told You, a Taiwanese cover of with a hidden message !
Look carefully at characters at top right and bottom left--see how the bottom half of each is shaded out, almost ghostly? At top right, the radical for "ear" (耳) is shaded out; at bottom left, the radical for "mouth" (口) is shaded out. A nod to how no one in this family speaks (or listens)...
