Lyrics: Zhao Lei
Composer: Zhao Lei
Original song: Zhao Lei
It's not just the wine that made me cry last night.
It's not just your tenderness that makes me reluctant to part.
How long does it take to walk on a rainy day? You hold my hand.
What embarrasses me is the freedom to struggle.
Respect is always in September, and nostalgia is the sorrow of missing.
The weeping willows in late autumn kissed my forehead.
I have never forgotten you in that rainy town.
Only you can't be taken out of Chengdu.
Walk with me in the streets of Chengdu. ...
Don't wait until all the lights are out.
You'll grab my sleeve and I'll put my hand in my trouser pocket.
Go to the end of Yulin Road and sit at the door of the pub.
Respect is always in September, and nostalgia is the sorrow of missing.
The weeping willows in late autumn kissed my forehead.
I have never forgotten you in that rainy town.
Only you can't be taken out of Chengdu.
Walk with me in the streets of Chengdu. ...
Don't wait until all the lights are out.
You'll grab my sleeve and I'll put my hand in my trouser pocket.
Go to the end of Yulin Road and sit at the door of the pub.
Walk with me in the streets of Chengdu. ...
Don't wait until all the lights are out.
You'll grab my sleeve and I'll put my hand in my trouser pocket.
Go to the end of Yulin Road and sit at the door of the pub.
Extended data:
Chengdu was composed and sung by Zhao Lei and included in Zhao Lei's album Growing Up. On 20 17, the song won the "Most Popular Folk Single Award" in the 6th Abilu Music Award.
Creative background:
Zhao Lei's Chengdu was written by Zhao Lei 20 14, and the lyrics and songs were arranged by Zhao Lei himself. I sang it as early as Zhao Lei's 20 15 "Our Time" tour, but the studio version has never been released.
Chengdu is one of Zhao Lei's favorite cities. Like all sentimental wanderers, Chengdu was a very important stop during his "wandering" in the country. I have traveled many places, and there will always be some other places that will become my hometown.
At the time of creation, Zhao Lei felt that Chengdu was slow and full of human feelings and life breath, which made him particularly fond of it, so he would be very happy whenever he had the opportunity to perform in Chengdu. Many people think that this song is a love song for a person, but it is actually a love song written by Zhao Lei to a city. The reason for writing this song is very simple. I want to express my record and nostalgia for this city.
Appreciation of Song Dynasty:
The song "Chengdu" has a slow melody, and the lyrics describe many details about Chengdu. The familiar place names such as "Yulin Road" in the song have been sung to the "favorite" of many rock and folk musicians-BISTRO? . Lyrics such as "Chengdu, only you can't take it away" and "Walk with me on the streets of Chengdu until all the lights go out and I won't stay" have aroused the resonance of Chengdu people and evoked memories and longings of netizens from other places.
"Chengdu" leads to many emotional topics, and people find their resonance in this song: because of a song, they fall in love with a city; There are always some foreign countries that have become their hometown. In the lyrics, at first glance, it seems to be a hazy and beautiful feeling. There are boys' wrinkled sleeves, a couple holding hands under a street lamp and a girl being kissed on the forehead.
After careful taste, we can find that in addition to love, the songs are more about Zhao Lei's record and nostalgia for Chengdu. The rainy weather in the small town did not dilute Zhao Lei's memory, but inspired him, which is also the greatest gift that life can give? .
After listening to Chengdu, I can't help but sigh that Zhao Lei is really the best storyteller with music. Some sparse and ordinary things in life have become stories, which are interpreted and sung by Zhao Lei. Without fancy skills and flowery rhetoric, you naturally reveal your true feelings and hit the listener's heart inadvertently.
