Click on the next audio track to share Kelly's Golden Saxophone "Going Home"
Once when you were in a shopping mall or supermarket, when you were still in your mind, when you suddenly heard the saxophone song "Going Home", you couldn't help but check out and go home. Generally, when this song sounds, it indicates that the store tells you to close. Then there is the melodious melody and appeal of this tune, which makes people feel homesick and warm. Home is everyone’s harbor and the safest post. It’s like driving on a high-speed for a long time and finally looking forward to a service area. It’s like a camel caravan walking through the desert. After a long journey, you finally see an oasis. Ship in the port. The home is like the "service area", "oasis in the desert", "sea boat mooring harbor".
In the 1990s, when I first heard this tune, there was always a picture in my mind. In the rolling desert, a group of camel businessmen slowly walked on the sand ridge, the sun was already west. The shadows of the sand dunes flickered, and the shadows of the camel team were enlarged and projected on the back of the sand dunes. Half of the sky was already dark red, as if the camel bells could be heard. The emotion expressed by
fits well with the urge to return to the family. Its melody is long, warm, quiet, and peaceful. In addition, the saxophone sound is very "singing", especially when playing such lyrical music, it is very beautiful, smooth and euphemistic. So some people like to use "beautiful as a song" to describe the sound quality of a saxophone. Because the sound of the saxophone is very similar to the human voice in some aspects, it is easy to give people affinity, and it also has some melodious characteristics of the cello. Therefore, the sound of his playing can easily pluck your "love strings", which is the charm of saxophone. So it is best at bar background music such as jazz and blues.
There is also a warm and touching story about this saxophone of "Going Home". It is also the background story of Kai Li Jin's creation of this song. The story of
takes place in the United States. One day, a middle-aged man got on a long-distance bus on the side of the road. After getting on the bus, he said nothing. Even though the passengers on the bus were telling jokes, the people in the car laughed. He also sat in his seat dumbly without any reaction. His abnormality aroused the curiosity of everyone in the car. One of the particularly curious young people came to him and asked the middle-aged man directly and curiously, "Sir, you are in a particularly low mood! Have you encountered any difficulties?" The middle-aged man turned his head. He looked at the young man, shook his head, and said nothing. This made the young man more curious, and he insisted on asking the middle-aged man to tell him why. In the end, the middle-aged man could only tell him the reason for his silence.
It turned out that the middle-aged man was a prisoner who was released after serving his sentence. He only came out of prison today. When he was in prison a few days ago, he wrote a letter to his wife. Tell her that she is going to be released. If she already has someone she likes while he is serving his sentence, he will leave quietly without disturbing her. If she has been waiting for him at home all these years, then tie a yellow ribbon on the old oak tree at the entrance of the village, and he will understand her meaning when he sees the yellow ribbon. If he passed by the old oak tree and didn't see the yellow ribbon, then he would leave silently forever without disturbing her.
After listening to the story of the middle-aged man, everyone in the car was silent. After a while, the young man suggested that everyone accompany him home together. The whole car agreed. The long-distance bus
drove along the highway and soon reached the town where the middle-aged man's home was. Except for the middle-aged man, everyone in the car turned their heads to look at the only old oak tree. Time passed by in one minute and one second. The middle-aged man lowered his head, which he had not raised, and lowered it. When the disappointment gradually crawled out of his heart, all the passengers in the car cheered. The middle-aged man looked up at the old oak tree in panic, his heart was shocked, and tears flowed from his eyes. Because he saw the yellow ribbon hanging on the old oak tree, he could feel how eagerly his wife was looking forward to his home.
Later, Kelly King saw this story and was deeply moved. He created the saxophone song "Going Home" based on this story. This is also the story behind "Going Home" that I know. After knowing this story, I like this song more because it is a song with a story? Maybe, although it used to be "bad" street.
