Some time ago, I wrote about a singer named Zhang Ga who was afraid of being in the northwest. His style is folk songs, folk songs. His lyrics are sincere and bold, which appeals to me very much. In July, I specially learned a few words of Gansu dialect from Luo Yan of Class/kloc-0, and then imitated the song "Love" written by Zhang Ga. If you don't sing in dialect, some words will really be mosaic. However, this strong northwest wind,

Regrettably, unfortunately, when I entered the mainstream variety show, I couldn't really interpret the wave of pubs. On the one hand, his expression is not so crazy and his taste is not so strong. On the other hand, his lyrics with local characteristics are not as good as many after being castrated by the director group.

Let's make a comparison. The original words are "put on new clothes, carry a new schoolbag, take a trip to the cinema, and we will stay in the hotel", and the last sentence is changed to "we eat beef noodles" and "eat color". The original desire is the direction of eating, no problem.

Looking back, "Put up your hands, mouth to mouth, and wrap the hot kang till dawn", perhaps this lyric is too explicit, and it is directly changed to "The moon is like a sickle, and the sickle hangs on the treetops, and the treetops are gently shaken, so that I can't sleep". All of a sudden, there are more literature and art, and less spicy and straightforward.

In fact, it is completely understandable that artists modify their works to cater to the public and gain more exposure and attention. After all, the mainstream media has always held the right to speak, and the content that is too vulgar will definitely not be judged. For example, the duet in the northeast can still be seen in some rural fairs in the north. It is a typical "dirty demon king", and the dirty jokes are spicy. Later, Zhao Benshan carried forward the folk art of the rough and refined, and it is still talked about by people.

However, people who make music will be despised by their peers if they cater to the public's tastes too much. For example, Zhang Wei is said to be a "rock traitor". The 65-year-old boy who used to write still, 438+06, is now washed up with sunshine, rainbow and white horse. Those nutritious saliva songs made Zhang Wei famous, but everyone could see that he was getting farther and farther away from rock music.

Rock and roll must be poor, confused and painful? Can we do it first for life and then for ideals? Who doesn't want to earn money standing up, but sometimes he can't live without admitting cowardice, let alone devote himself to art.

I remember in the summer of the band, there was a little-known band, which was later eliminated. I can't even remember their names, but I remember that all the members of their band took out old-age insurance at their own expense, because they were afraid that one day the band could no longer play, and they didn't want to starve to death. I thought it was funny and tragic.

Even if you are not afraid of death, are you still afraid of living?

Is this cowardice?

This is the wisdom that life has taught us.
