The song of the sunset, in this world, was written by Xi Shuang himself, and sang it with Dong Xueqin at this time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoActually, a few days before the concert started, when Xi Shuang took out this song and sang it to Li Youyang, and asked him if he could use the tune of "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que", Li Youyang was honestly surprised, and then he was even more emotional!

I have to say that the original songs of "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" and "Song of the Sunset" are really classic, which can resonate with countless people and get something of their own from them. Although, the original song of this song is also from Japan, and the song "喜焼けの歌" by Japanese singer Kondo Masahiko is selected, but, aside from the militarism ****** the country of Japan, purely from the perspective of music, music has no borders, and many singers and composers in the Japanese art world are really worthy of respect and learning. Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea; Japan and South Korea learn from Europe and the United States, and the music of the Chinese mainland is ultimately inferior to Europe and the United States for nearly twenty or thirty years, and there is no world famous music in the real sense, and there is no Grammy..... Such a statement is not without some basis, indeed, on the road of pop music, domestic musicians still have a long way to go.

And now, it is not these things that Li Youyang wants to sigh about, because it seems that the things that Chinese musicians have not realized on the earth today have been realized by him all at once in this world. Of course, there is no Grammy in this world, but there is a star and moon crown of an international pop festival that is better than the Grammys, and he is now recognized as the uncrowned king, so if nothing else, he will be the real king of the next international pop music festival!

Therefore, now that he is listening to Xi Shuang and Dong Xueqin on the stage singing such a song together, what he feels in his heart is the song itself. As for "Sunset Song", there has always been a very good review on the earth, which really says everything about "Sunset Song"!

That comment, deeply imprinted in Li Youyang's mind, is excerpted as follows:

As the original cover version, "Sunset Song" has taken a relatively safe path, that is, it retains the style of the original song to a large extent, such as the song title, melody, and thoughts and feelings to be expressed. The author has carefully tasted "Sunset Song" and Kondo's original work, and there are really too many similarities. If there is a difference, the biggest difference is that "Sunset Song" is better than the original! The lyrics are written more poetically, and Anita Mui plays very well. "Sunset Song" is relatively deep, like the life confession of a hero who has experienced the vicissitudes of the world. "The slanting sun is infinite, and the helplessness is only brilliant in one breath", the lyricist starts with the sunset and cuts into the theme, reflecting the consistent style of ancient poetry from scenery and love. And there was a ninety-degree turn in an instant: "Helpless only a breath of splendor", which set the bleak tone of the song. Immediately after the second sentence "With the clouds gradually dissipating, the lost brilliance will not return" still uses the technique of comparison to lament that the brilliance is no longer and the world is impermanent. The lyricist said "the years are delayed", which creates an illusion for us, and if we continue to read the following "sudden sense of time receding", we can read such a complex inner world: the reason why we say "the years are delayed" is because we have gone through too many changes in life, like floating clouds, drifting and drifting away. However, looking back on the happy times in the past, I always feel that it was so short, and at the same time complain that "time has faded". There is no contradiction between the two, and in Buddhist parlance it is the suffering of "impermanence." When life has gone through ups and downs and the world has been explored, the heart that was once brave and young will grow old in a hurry, replaced by a yearning for the ordinary. Friends who have watched "Shanghai Tang" know that Xu Wenqiang has this mentality after hiding in Hong Kong, and when talking about Shanghai, he said that he had done too many ridiculous things in Shanghai before, which can be used as a good footnote to this lyrics. The two sentences "I have encountered a lot of wind and rain, weaving my staggered dreams" are written at a very high level, emphasizing the theme very well. The wind and rain are compared to the encounters of life, and the word dream summarizes what he has done in his life, and the vicissitudes of life are vividly expressed. The next very important sentence appeared: "I have met your sincere arm, accompany me through tribulation", see no, the only word "you" in the whole lyrics appeared. How should you understand this? Is it a friend, or a lover? Or is there something else to understand? I guess it's all right. This euphemistic expression reflects the subtle side of us Chinese, and at the same time can resonate with more listeners. Life is like this, coming to this world is like getting on a thief ship, we are suffering from the joys and sorrows of the recipient's birth, old age, sickness and death, "the road is full of troubles and twists and turns", people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes! "One day I think, I think about going back, but it's too late."

Reading through the whole word, you can see that "Sunset Song" is a popular song, the lyrics are written very artistically, and the only place in the whole word that can be seen as love is written is a little subtle, but it has received the effect of "silence is better than sound here". And the rhyme of the lyrics is basically pressed on the voice, which is consistent with the sad tone of the song, and also harmonizes with Anita Mui's voice. Following the change of the melody, the content of the lyrics also fluctuates, highlighting the theme very well, and to a large extent, it is a true portrayal of Anita Mui herself. When Anita Mui released this album that year, she regained the lost ground occupied by Ye Qianwen with lightning speed, and the master's work is extraordinary. It's just that the momentum of "Sunset Song" has not been maintained, and not long after Anita Mui's album was launched, "Always Be Your Friend" came out, and the title song is "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que".

The birth of "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" created an illusion for listeners: Chen Huixian and Anita Mui were singing the same song. On the surface, it seems that it is this illusion that has allowed history to drown out the song of the sunset. Chen Huixian's timbre is excellent, which is undeniable, but if this can cover Anita Mui, then why has Chen Huixian not been in the position of the first sister? This seems to be a weak statement.

Different from the theme of "Song of the Sunset", "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" positions the theme on "sad parting". Turning over the whole Tang Dynasty poems, we can count how much of the length of philosophical poems are occupied, and what proportion of parting poems of sadness and parting are occupied? It can be said that the latter has an absolute overwhelming advantage. Because the perception of life, deep or shallow, or there is or not, everyone is different, and there are very few listeners who can have a strong resonance with the song of the sunset, so its influence is very limited, and it is not suitable for occupying the market.

On the contrary, although everyone has different expressions of sadness and parting, they have a common emotional basis: "hurt parting". Therefore, even in the face of the situation that "Song of the Sunset" is very popular, Polygram is still calm and calm, they are full of confidence that "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" will be even better, in fact, "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" has been very popular as soon as it is put into the market, and in the middle of the sale, major record dealers have asked Polygram for additional goods, Polygram originally only printed more than 100,000 copies of the goods, how do you know that it has been sold for three or four weeks has been "cleared", and immediately notified the factory to work overtime, and printed tens of thousands of copies to replenish the stock, who expected that it would not be ten days, and see the bottom again, I had to reprint it. Replenishment, out-of-stock, replenishment, out-of-stock, restocking, restocking, restocking...... The album sold a total of 350,000 copies in three months, surpassing not only Anita Mui's "Sunset Song" (nearly 200,000 copies), but also making Chan one of the best-selling female singers in Hong Kong in the 80s.
