In the traditional glorious period of in the Chinese music scene, there is a saying in Taiwan that there are "three godfathers of music". The three correspond to the well-known producers of Rolling Stone Records in different periods, Luo Dayou , Li Zongsheng and Xiao Zong.
As for the ranking of the three achievements in the music world, it can be separated from the names. The ranking of the big, middle (zong) and small can't be clearer.
Compared with these "big" and "small", the "Zong" in the middle is the most popular and popular. His song "Wake Up Time" made Chen Shuhua complete the transformation, and a song " I am a little bird " made Zhao Chuan become the first gold song king of Rolling Stones, and a song " let I'm happy, let me worry " made Zhou Huajian among the "Four Heavenly Kings in Taiwan", a song "Don't Care Who I Am" made Lin Yilian a Rolling Stone Queen, and a song "Love Like Tide Water" made Zhang Xinzhe a fire The "Prince of Love Songs" all over Asia, a song "Comprehension" brought Xin Xiaoqi to the position of "healing queen".
Li Zongsheng's hand seems to have a magic power of "pointing a stone into gold". Except for Wang Jie who can't "catch" and Xu Meijing , the singers he likes and supports are all left in the Chinese music scene without exception. shining star.
However, the author suddenly discovered that "When I Woke Up", "Across the Ocean to See You", " The Price of Love ", "I Finally Lost You", " When Love Has Become a Past ", " Songs such as True Hero " are good, but they are not the best. Lao Li's best works are always reserved for himself. Below
, from the author's thinking, select five of Li Zongsheng's best works, which are also Lao Li's "greatest works", to appreciate the uncle who "does not know Li Zongsheng when he is young, but understands it is not a confused age". What "private collections" have you left behind?
In 1986, Li Zongsheng, a singer who "speaks better than sings" from the very beginning, released his first album "'s elf in life " on Rolling Stone Records. The album ranked fifth in existence. The albums that
ranks higher than this album are Luo Dayou's "Anyone", Su Rui 's "Take the Wrong Car. Original Soundtrack", Qi Yu's "Olive Tree" and Pan Yueyun 's " Sky Blue ". The first two records are of epoch-making significance. The albums of Qi Yu and Pan Yueyun are the best epitome of a music era (campus folk songs), and the singing skills of the two queens have been affirmed for many years.
Then why Li Zongsheng's "The Spirit of Life" album can be ranked fifth, maybe it is because this album is a sentimental and sincere album.
is different from the critics of "Zhi Huo", it is different from "Taking the Wrong Car. Original Soundtrack" which is attached to the movie of the same name, and it is different from "Olive Tree" which holds the banner of folk songs and "Sky Blue", which is the best nostalgia for the folk song era. A realistic album of life, which is different from "Wine and Coffee" and "Tears of a Dancing Girl", which reflects social phenomena and exposes the sadness of the industry. He focuses on what a "little person" sees, thinks, feels and understands about life. There is no modern electronic music in the
album. It is always run through the soundtrack of acoustic guitar and . From life experience to emotional experience, it reflects the current situation of social life in Taiwan at that time, just like the summary of Li Zongsheng's life diary. Such an album does not have any Including the commercial component, it is very emotional and sincere. Every song on the
album is actually a rare good song, from "Opening Statement" to "The Spirit of Life" to the ending song "One Person", in the author's mind, the song "Unbearable Loneliness" is Lao Li's entire 80 The best song ever written.
It sorts out the time it has gone through for 28 years, feels that love is "the hardest waiting" and "the most distant future", laments that "time is no longer" and thinks "how to explain to yourself in the days to come", and finally Discovering that "Only oneself cheers for oneself, only oneself grieves for oneself", this inner analysis, is not the voice of many young men who are approaching thirteen years and whose career and love have not improved!
Li Zongsheng is far less free and easy than Zhang Zhenyue . When he was 23 years old, he was recalling his 18 years old, and his hand was a song "First Experience of Love". Compared with A Yue's "rebelliousness", Li Zongsheng was talentedIt is the majority. The second song of
that the editor thinks of Lao Li's "private little collection" is the song he sang for the TV series "Blue Sea Love Sky" in 1991 - "Mortal Song".
Bobby Da 's arrangement, very taste of the rivers and lakes. Li Zongsheng's lyrics and songs express the straightforwardness of the melody and the unrestrained freehand brushwork of the rivers and lakes in a transparent and bright way. Many friends who like martial arts will regard themselves as the protagonists in the story. They are handsome, strong in martial arts, numerous beauties, and successful in their careers. There is nothing that they cannot solve by themselves. There will always be various adventures along the way. This kind of national beauty and Tianxiang loves for himself, but when he closes the book, he finds that he is always himself, the contemporary person who lives in reality with all kinds of unhappiness, but he is not the person in the play. How true is the
lyrics "You and I are both mortals, born in this world, rushing around all day long, not a moment's leisure". "Put morality on both sides, and put the word for profit in the middle", many people do not want to do this, but in the end they find that "the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit". "Ask when you have seen that the world has changed for people" is a simple question, but it is an objective fact.
People have dreams of yellow lilies in "Song of Everyman", and people wake up from their dreams after "Song of Everyman" to face reality. "Mortal Song", perhaps no singer can sing Li Zongsheng's taste again. For
, Li Zongsheng's third "Private Collection" is a song written by Lao Li when he met a beautiful flight attendant on a plane in 1993 and had a sudden fantasy about her - " ".
Ghost obsessed, maybe everyone has done it. After doing it, there is only regret and self-blame. Let's see how Lao Li, who is good at writing small love and love, feels after being "fascinated" by beauty. "I once really thought that life was like this, and a calm heart refused to have another wave." Once this sentence comes out, are you interested in listening to it further?
"Someone asked me where you are, I can't forget it after so many years", Zhang Ailing once said: maybe every man has had two such women, at least two. Marry a red rose, and over time, the white one will still be "the bright moonlight in front of the bed"; if you marry a white rose, the white one will be a stick of rice on your clothes, and the red one will be a cinnabar mole on your heart.
"No matter how beautiful the spring breeze is, it can't compare to your smile. Those who haven't seen you will not understand it." Married a goddess, but found that the former goddess is always in my heart. Full.
No matter if you are obsessed or married in a previous life, "Broken Mirror" always wants to "reunite", the goddess in my heart, even if she gets close to me again, the moment will be eternal. "Just once, I will accompany you to the end of the world", nothing is important, after the ghosts, as long as "you can come back to my arms", I am willing to "accompany you to the ends of the earth".
Li Zongsheng's "Ghost in the Heart", how many people are awake and dreaming!
In 1993, when Li Zongsheng's song "When Love Has Become a Past" was "A Lian", he gave Sandy the best poems. Old Li would rather be infatuated than be infatuated with A Lian. After being angry, they got the seven-year itch of marriage. They met, got married and had children, but in the end they found that their lives could not be integrated into one.
Li Zongsheng confessed to Lin Yilian: If our love is wrong, I hope you and I do not suffer in vain. Sandy, find what you want, what you think is worth it. Seven years, what a painful realization!
Six years later, Li Zongsheng wrote a song for himself, not only to record his life, but also to organize his life. This is Lao Li's fourth "private little collection" - "'s own song ".
Don't rush the years, I won't push the ones that should come. Don't rush the years, I won't chase after you go far.
This time, after analyzing the "women's heart" many times, he left behind the exquisite thinking of a man in the year of destiny. "If you can't get it, what will you do?", Xu Zhimo once said: I will visit my only soul mate in the vast crowd, I am lucky to get it; that is it.
When people are middle-aged, the song ends and they leave. "I only care about talking about the past", but I find that time has already stolen your choices. If your dreams can be fulfilled, you can remember them. Missing no one will let go, but missing is tormenting peopleworn out. Turn around and go to the wind and blow the black hair, look back and come back, it can only be a matter of right and wrong.
's past or various situations in the world, there is only "the long-term relationship", but "I haven't seen the long-term relationship", whether it is persistent or obsessive, pretending to be an old man is always decorating his ignorant life.
So, don't rush the years, "I won't push what should come, return what should be returned, and give what should be given". It's just the years, don't rush, "I won't chase after the far away", let it be the regret of life, regret is not regret, life with regrets is more real.
Xu Zhimo said: At least once in your life, you forget yourself for someone, don't ask for results, don't ask for peers, don't ask for what you have, don't even ask you to love me, just want to meet me in my most beautiful years your turn. Many people never meet a true person in their whole life. Since they meet and miss it, it is also a kind of lost beauty. It is hidden in the heart, occasionally missed, remembered and then lived with others, why not!
In 2010, Lao Li finally sorted out his thoughts on love. In the future, when he met a suitable woman, he did not push it.
's "Song for Myself" turned out to be a summary of Li Zongsheng's past love entanglements. He is finally no longer confused about the destination or end of love, or he has taken it lightly, no matter what "The Price of Love" or "The Price of Love" he cares about. For you and I was blown by the cold wind", "Scars", "I finally lost you" and so on, also once "Ghost in the Heart", and eventually "comprehend" after falling in love.
's view on love is clear and open-minded, but his attitude towards life requires some thought. Not everyone has the realm of "rare and confused".
In 2013, after 10 years of inner suffering and life monologue, Li Zongsheng gave himself the best gift, which is also his fifth "Private Collection" - "The Hill".
What kind of song needs to be written for ten years, let's see the author's understanding of Lao Li's song "The Hill".
Everyone has their own "hill" to cross, and many people are still on the way to climb the "hill". The tide of the river came and brushed by the pines, "Today I know that I am me"; there are also some wise people who have "crossed the hills" before their life has entered the end of winter.
Li Zongsheng, who looks a little "vicissitudes", in fact, his hair started to turn white very early. In 2003, when he was 45 years old, the creation of "The Hill" had been basically completed, but it was not thorough enough. Perhaps Lao Li had not completely crossed the "hill". He was faced with emotional torment and the choice of marriage. I wrote so many songs that "let people sing softly and remember lightly", but still want to dedicate "good songs to you".
's life has reached a certain stage, what can be achieved has been achieved, and what cannot be achieved can only be regret. So, when you look at the "big river bends", you can "bold your courage" and laugh at life with a "hippie smile". "The difficulties of life" have been tried for decades and have not been overcome. ! When
was young, he didn't know how to do things, and regardless of the cost, he would eventually turn into a sudden realization of the year of destiny after tirelessly climbing mountains and mountains. Even if he had turned white, even if no one was waiting, life would eventually be a vigorous one. Waiting for the sunset to go down.
went from "emotional and rational" to "since youth can't be retained", Li Zongsheng no longer forced himself, in fact, "it's better to be an uncle". In 2015, when he was about to listen well, finally someone was willing to walk with him, even if there was a 27-year age gap between the two, because "I don't push what should come, return what should be paid, and give what should be given. ".
In the creative world of Chinese music, Luo Dayou's realm is too high, the pattern is too big, the bug is too classical, Liang Hongzhi is too unworldly, Chen Zhiyuan is too perfect. Only Li Zongsheng is infatuated, passionate, and genuine. He has flaws, but those flaws are so close to ordinary people. His delicacy and open-mindedness are sometimes rational but most of the time emotional and "stubborn". Love and love, people grow up, mature, grow old in his songs, pay the price for love, but finally understand.
Do you think Li Zongsheng's "greatest works" are these five songs? Welcome to express your opinions in the comment area. May I work hard and give you a follow and like!
