Chapter 77 Second Chinese Album

"Xiaoyuan, what's the name of this song?"

"sad."

The track selected by Lu Yuan for the new album is the work of a bear singer. Its original name is "MELANCHOLY", which means 'melancholy' and 'sad'.

Since it is a Chinese album, Lu Yuan will definitely not use the English song title. It is appropriate to name it with the word "sadness".

Later, this piece of pure music with only humming left 36+ comments on Yiyun, a well-known music player website.

The melody of this song is actually very simple. It is repeated for more than ten seconds, and the gentle and calm humming is the finishing touch.

Different people can get different feedback from it.

This is a song that is both healing and depressing.

Lu Yuan released this song not to be unique. "MELANCHOLY" is an additional single in the album.

It is the No.11 song.

"It's quite appropriate."

After a long while, Yuan Tao nodded slowly. As an extra bonus in the album, its quality is excellent enough.

Then he put his headphones back on.

"Oh Father
oh father
I never wanted anything from you but time
How I wish time would stay with you
is it too late now
Is it too late

cause the mountain's too much for us to climb
Just because you and I are thousands of miles apart..."

This is an English song, an English song about my father, and the only English song on this album.

The original singer is Maple Leaf Country singer Bodhi Jones, a relatively 'unpopular' independent musician.

However, among the many English songs about fathers, "oh father" is already considered one of the masterpieces.

The simple melody and simple lyrics are like a clear spring, quietly flowing into the heart. There is no artificiality, but only sincere emotions.

In fact, Lu Yuan initially prepared "Father" by the Chopstick Brothers and paired it with Xu Fei's "Prose Poems Written by Father".

Later, he suddenly remembered something. The song "Father" had a somewhat conflicting melody. The key was that the two Japanese songs that were conflicted had already been released.

In order to avoid trouble, Lu Yuan chose "oh father".

It's a little bit awkward to insert an English song into a Mandarin album.

But from another perspective, this purely English song is also an introduction, paving the way for Lu Yuan to release a purely English album.

Therefore, the song about my father ended up becoming one Chinese and one British.

Correspondingly, there are two songs about writing about mother. There are no English songs, but all Chinese songs.

One song is adapted from "When You Are Old" (Zhao Zhao) by Irish poet Yeats, and the other song is "I Remember" by Zhao Lei.

The four songs "Oh Father", "Prose Poems Written by Father", "When You Are Old" and "I Remember" may not be as popular as the songs in the previous album.

However, these songs fit the theme of the entire album better.

This album is not only dedicated to his deceased father and mother, but also to Lu Yuan himself.

Everything in the past is a prologue.

This is the core theme of the entire album and is also the subtitle of the album.

Say goodbye to the past and face the future!
Lu Yuan, reborn!
Therefore, this album has a special meaning for Lu Yuan, so he gave up part of the singing.

of course.

Just give up part of it.

There is also a song in this album - "Where Has the Time Gone" written for my father and mother.

Wang Zhengliang's masterpiece was performed on stage during the 14 Spring Festival Gala and moved countless people.

In fact, this song was released in 11 and was not that popular at first. The person who really made this song popular across the country was Feng Dagang.

In 13, "Where Has the Time Gone" was selected as the episode of the movie "Private Customization".And Feng Dagang happens to be the chief director of the 14 Spring Festival Gala.

Then, Brother Xiaoliang was pushed onto the Spring Festival Gala stage. He just sang one song and became popular all over the country overnight.

This is the influence of the Spring Festival Gala.

At the beginning, this song was not popular, not because of poor quality, but because of the lack of a platform to claim it.

The fragrance of wine is also afraid of the deep alley.

The above five songs are about father and mother. Except for the pure music, the remaining five songs are all about myself.

The first song selected for the new album is "Someone Like Me" by Maomao.

This song commemorates the self before becoming famous, and at the same time, it also commemorates the first love that ended just after it began.

The second song selected is "Existence" by Wang Banbi.

That's right.

Lu Yuan finally took action against Wang Banbi.

The song "Existence" is included in Wang Banbi's album "Nothing for Life" released in 11.

Although the title Wang Banbi has a mocking meaning, upon closer inspection, this sentence is not completely unreasonable.

In the mainland rock music scene, Wang Feng is indeed a very good rock musician. He writes almost all of his songs, lyrics and music by himself.

"Fly Higher", "Blooming Life", "Goodbye Youth", "In Spring", "Brave Heart", "Yanjing Yanjing" and other highly sung songs are all composed by him alone .

His reputation may not be good, but his musical works are indeed not bad.

The third song about myself that was selected was "My Sky" from the Southern War.

"Proud Boy", "My Sky", plus Lu Yuan's pre-booked "Born to Be Stubborn", Lu Yuan almost lost his skin during the war.

Although the song "My Sky" is also controversial for its melody, "Hall of Fame" is a song released by the Manuscript Band in 12.

The German song "Waerst du immer noch hier", which samples the original version, was released in 11.

Lu Yuan included this song in his second album, so he didn't have to worry about the melody at all.

When the English album is released next year, he will directly copy "hall of fame" and "Waerst du immer noch hier" to completely kill this controversy.

The fourth song selected for the new album is the promotion song for China Unicom UP's new forces - "Youth".

The MV shooting team and plan for "Boy" have been decided, and the shooting should be completed before the end of the month.

The promotional song is expected to be released around mid-December.

At that time, it was just in time to warm up for the album "The Road Is Still Long".

On January 2008, 1, Lu Yuan's second album will be released simultaneously across Asia.

This time it is the simultaneous release of the Eight Classics of Children, and it will be released simultaneously in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and the Mandarin-language areas of Southeast Asia.

the other side.

After listening to the song "Oh Father", Yuan Tao felt sour in front of his eyes, especially when he heard the second half of the song.

“Oh father father bare your soul
Father, please open your heart

Talk to me
talk to me

Talk to me
please talk to me

hand to hand
Like a man..."

Hearing this, Yuan Tao's eyes became slightly moist. His father was a typical Chinese father, taciturn and with all his love buried deeply in his heart.

Actions always speak louder than words.

Unfortunately, Yuan Tao never had the opportunity to have one-on-one communication with his father.
