Chapter 320 Silence

"Maybe I don't understand too much, maybe it's my fault,

Maybe everything has been slowly missed, maybe there is no need to say,

I never thought that you and I would end like this, I was not sure in my heart,

Just remember the promise you and I made to each other, the impulse again and again,

Dont –Break- My -Heart, be gentle again,

I don't want to see your silence,

Waiting alone, bearing silently,

Joy always appears in my dreams.

... ... "

As always, beautiful lyrics, beautiful tunes, and the same precise and free singing as always.

It seems that every word, every word is right on your breath.

In another time and space, when Dou Wei was mentioned, people would definitely call him Daxian Dou. It is said that in the later stage, his series of experimental and exploratory music albums have only sold thousands or even hundreds of copies. In fact, his music is becoming more and more self-oriented, and more and more inclined to the exploration of the soul. Many of his works, even without lyrics, are completely supported by music-but this extreme approach, artistic achievement Leaving aside the high and low levels of his works, it will inevitably make him gradually distance himself from the aesthetics and tastes of the general public.

But even so, he is still a banner figure that cannot be ignored and is indispensable in Chinese rock music! Even though the new music he made has become more and more incomprehensible and unappreciable, whether it is ridicule or ridicule, everyone still respects his contribution to Chinese rock music and respects him very much .

Therefore, there is the title of "Dou Daxian".

So in the final analysis, what is the reason?

It's because of "No Place to Shame", but also because of "Dont -Break -My -Heart".

During his Black Panther period, and even his "Black Dream" period, he was once the big brother of the entire domestic rock music. He once created a series of amazing rock music classics.

His handsome face and his slightly heavy metal-style rock music once shocked those years, and have remained in the hearts of countless people for a long time, becoming an irreplaceable spiritual imprint to some extent.

In December 1992, Black Panther's self-titled album "Black Panther" was released in Hong Kong. There is no rock soil", so that even an outstanding local rock band like BEYOND had to struggle for many years to gradually emerge, but their "Black Panther" became an instant hit.

Not only "Dont -Break -My -Heart" topped the charts of Hong Kong Commercial Radio, but also works such as "Shameless" and "Don't Ruin" in the same album have also been widely sung.

At that time, the entire population of Hong Kong was only about 6 million, and Hong Kong singers who sold 50,000 copies had been defined as platinum sales and platinum albums. In the context of the album "Black Panther", excluding pirated copies , achieved an astonishing sales volume of up to 150,000 copies! This shows how good it is!

In the mainland, "A Place Without Concealment" is regarded as an absolute classic, but in Hong Kong, where the commercial atmosphere is stronger and the degree of urbanization is higher, "Dont -Break -My -Heart" is the most popular.

There is no need to distinguish between the two, because they are both excellent rock works, but the former has stronger humanistic feelings and is full of certain speculations, while the latter is closer to the category of rock love songs, and its popularity is obviously better.

And now, the work "Dont -Break -My -Heart" appeared in another time and space in 1998, and appeared in a rock album called "Fake Monk".

It should be a classic, and it's still a classic.

Li Qian's voice is exceptionally good in the middle frequency position. Although the low frequency and high frequency are slightly inferior to the middle frequency, they are also good. In simple comparison, his voice is slightly thicker than Dou Wei's, and his singing skills are not as good as his. Unassuming and willful. But with his frankness and calmness, he was able to sing with his own taste and understanding. I dare not say that it will definitely surpass the original singing, but it will not be far behind. Especially for those who hear this song for the first time in this time and space, from the lyrics, to the music, to the arrangement, to the singing... all in one, almost perfect!

After "Dont -Break -My -Heart" ended, it was followed by an "old song" that everyone had heard countless times before - "No Place to Shame".

It's just that, like "Nothing", what everyone heard before was the live version, but this time, it is a studio version with fuller arrangement, more stable performance and more superb singing.

It has been shocked countless times before, but it is still shocking to listen to it now.

By the time "No Place to Shame" ended, many professional musicians in many audition rooms had to silently shake their heads in admiration. However, this album is not over yet.

"No Place to Shame" is only the eighth work.

Next, there are two more.

Undoubtedly, just like the Spring Festival Gala at around eleven o'clock, the biggest celebrity of the whole show must be arranged to appear, and a movie will definitely stage the final climax of the story in the last half hour Same. Everyone understands that in this album, "Fake Monk" and "Girl in the Flower House" have been arranged to start the first shot, while "Love Song of the Ronin" and "Dont -Break -My -Heart" are responsible for provoking the middle, then , the last two songs left as the finale must be in the Four Great Beauties, or in Li Qian's mind, they are more important works.

As a result, everyone cheered up even more than before.

Somewhat different from the previous works, the ninth song starts directly with the sound of drums.

And this time, Li Qian's voice seemed to suddenly have an unprecedented sense of sadness and desolation——

"Ideals always fly here and there,

illusory;

The reality is still real,

Can't hide.

Heart full of desire,

The body has no strength,

don't want to feel sad,

I had to pretend to be dissolute.

flying around,

I fly here and there,

hopeful,

I am like a bird. "

That's right, Li Qian once sang this song on the roof of the teaching building, so that Qi Jie, who was hiding in the corridor and eavesdropping, cried bitterly and could hardly restrain himself.

But now, for the same song, the arrangement is more perfect, the vocal parts are complete, and it’s not just the guitar. Even Li Qian’s voice and his ability to control his own voice are not the same as before. He can compare.

The audience expanded from Qi Jie to countless people.

Everyone and every listener has different feelings and life experiences, but no matter how completely different experiences, people's feelings are common. Perhaps, the person was changed, the time was changed, the location was changed, and the mood was changed... Even if the audience was still Qi Jie, she would no longer hear her crying, but it did not mean a good piece of music, A good composition is detracted from its power.

The audience will change, and the mood of the audience will also change, but the emotions, emotions, strength, or anger contained in a good work... are eternal.

Therefore, when Li Qian's roar sounded in one audition room after another, in one speaker after another, and in everyone's ears, countless hearts, at this moment, were overwhelmed. Really shocked!

"Let's sing together,

Sing the song of freedom,

Let's fly together,

like a bird

like a bird,

because of U.S,

born free! "

When Li Qian roared and sang this last song, everyone was terrified.

In another time and space, if you divide it superficially, the rock music in the domestic music scene can be roughly divided into three stages, the first stage, Cui Jian is the top performer, and the second stage, led by Dou Wei. Almost invincible in the world, and in the third stage, when rock and roll has gradually declined, Wang Toutiao almost supported half of the rock and roll sky with his own strength.

There may be many people who are not ashamed of him, and there may be many people who ridicule his so-called rock music, which is actually "pop songs". However, it is undeniable that after entering the new century, especially after 2005, when rock music His voice is getting weaker and weaker, but he, with his angry or high-pitched shouts, and his unique rock works full of humanistic care and humanistic thinking, has taken over the banner of rock music in the domestic music scene, at least Let fans in the 21st century still have rock to listen to. Let them not be sad and can only indulge in the past heyday and prosperity of rock music.

Speaking of this alone, he is already a generation master of domestic rock music in that time and space!

Well, it is a master craftsman, not a grand master.

And if we subdivide it further, Cui Jian, Dou Wei and Wang Feng actually have completely different rock styles.

If Wang Feng’s style is to say what I’m thinking, angry, and longing for, then I shout out directly, while Dou Wei’s style is “I don’t say anything, I just sneer and look down on you”, while Cui Jian…

His style is, I don't even look at you, I don't bother to talk to you at all, I just play my own game, whether you like it or not, whether you like it or not.

In terms of compulsion, Cui Jian undoubtedly has the highest compulsion, followed by Dou Wei and Wang Feng. But looking at it from another perspective, in fact, the development trajectory of domestic rock music in the past 30 years is reflected in the three of them. It is extremely clear, that is, rock music is becoming more and more down-to-earth step by step!

And rock music, or to put it simply, is actually what the entire music world is concerned about, from grand topics such as home country, nation, era, society, system, freedom, etc., to gradually turning to small self, survival, dreams, freedom, love, life... …etc.

There is no difference between superiority and inferiority, it is only necessary to adapt to the development of the times.

However, when it comes to a single person and a single musical work, it has to be said that Wang Feng is much less chic than Cui Jian, less proud than Dou Wei, but more humanistic care and thinking than them.

The song "Little Bird" was Wang Feng's early work. At that time, he had not gone to "pop rock" as thoroughly as he later did. At that time, he was stumbling between rock and folk songs, but at that time He has already begun to show his unique humanistic thinking.

"Little Bird" was even once considered one of Wang Feng's best rock works.

Speculation, shouting, struggle, roaring.

Unlike Cui Jian, who is arrogant and lofty, and who is not like Dou Wei, who looks down on the world with a sneer, his speculations, his shouts, his struggles, and his roars are more direct and powerful.

All of a sudden, it can directly hit everyone's soul!

So, when you hear this song, you don't even need to have any musical literacy, you can be instantly ignited by him!

What's more, sitting in the audition room and listening to such a work, almost everyone is a top player in the current domestic music scene? What's more, they can even hear a deeper charm from places that ordinary people can't perceive?

After a song, the room is full of commotion.

People whispered, people whispered.

However, at this time, the last song of this album has already begun.

It's called "Good Night, Jinan".

Another surprise is that the beginning is the piano heavy keys!

Amidst the sound of the piano, the sound of the drums gradually rose, and then, an extremely simple cycle of keys, the key became higher and higher, which subconsciously made the listener tense up and held his breath.

Then, the piano stopped, and the drums enveloped everything.

Li Qian began to sing——

"I'll sleep in the rain tonight,

Accompanied by the sound of domestic road rollers,

With the bang of the wound bursting,

sleep in the rain tonight,

Good night, Jinan,

Good night, all sleepless people.

The wind will go north with the midnight bells,

With the boy begging in the street,

With broken tires by the side of the road,

Go north with the midnight bells,

Good night, Jinan,

Good night to all sleepless people,

Good night, Jinan,

Good night, all lonely people.

... ... "

From the first sentence of this song, it is so heavy that it is impossible to breathe!

Li Qian chose it as the last song of the first album of the Four Great Beauties!

Finale.

Li Qian is from Jinan Prefecture, this fact is known to almost everyone in the music circle.

Of course, if you have to say it, Cao Zhan, Yu Bojun, Wang Huaiyu...the "Four Beauties" in the band of Four Beauties are all from Jinan. Perhaps, to some extent, this song can also be understood as a work of their collective dedication to Jinan Prefecture and their hometown?

It's just...too heavy.

It is so heavy that it is almost impossible to believe that such a work full of gloomy life will be written by Li Qian, a young man who is just 20 years old!

But the problem is, this kind of thing happened to him more than once before!

So, you have to believe it or not.

In the end, there's no other way, you can almost just chalk it up to sheer brilliance!

A sad song.

When the last singing is gone, in the shallow, slow piano sound, this album is over.

In countless listening rooms, the sound of music stopped, except for people's slightly heavy breathing, it was so quiet that it was almost silent.

***

There is another chapter to add tonight, but it will be late, don't wait, you can watch it tomorrow morning.

Then, keep asking for votes!
