in June p>1998, Liang Yongqi released her third mandarin album "Gigi in Liang Yongqi" with the same name since her debut in 1995, but it was the first pop song tape I bought in my life.
Before that, I didn't know who Liang Yongqi was, and I didn't listen to her songs. In that era when the media was underdeveloped, I bought a singer's album only by word of mouth passed from person to person, or by intuition when I saw the album. I am the latter, just because I saw the cover of the album in front of the video store-a girl with short hair in red casual clothes, and she looks comfortable and natural; She sat on a bench in the laundry with a newspaper in her hand, and the washing machine rolled behind her. She just sat leisurely, her long legs stretched lazily forward, and the color matching of scarlet, purplish blue, pure white and orange attracted me to pick it up and have a look.
The first tape I bought was always carefully selected. I remember carefully reading every line of the cover, which was about the genre of her album. It seems that she made a new breakthrough and tried a new style this time. After more than ten years, when I had a simple understanding of various music types, I gradually realized that she had tried new music styles such as Folk and britpop. These music styles were not trendy, but for the early days.
Folk music is accompanied by tambourines and guitars, like a spring breeze. "Coward", as the main title of the album, is indeed the most catchy one. This is a 4/4 beat song, and you will be attracted by its neat rhythm. The drums of the prelude ring gently, and the artistic conception created by the whole song comes to your attention. A girl is timid and shy when facing the person she likes. She wants to love and is afraid of getting hurt. Therefore, I am so self-contradictory, and I don't know what to do in my heart. Nevertheless, the rhythm of this song is still very cheerful, perhaps because of the love when I was young, and its purity can not be sad.
Similar to this song, there is Weather Report in the album. This song has a great artistic conception. What do you think when you miss someone? What would you do? Its lyrics are simple and true, and true and beautiful. It adds the harmonica to the melody, which makes the thoughts melodious, just like a girl standing at the window looking at the cloudless sky in Wan Li, thinking of the person she loves, and it's hard to know the sweet and sour in her heart. This is the taste of love.
If you were given a choice, would you prefer someone similar to yourself or someone with a different personality? "We Laugh alike" is such a feeling. Say goodbye to the boy whose painting style is similar to his own and find another home. Although the people around me are very good, I occasionally think of him in the past. Sometimes, the more you deliberately forget a person, the clearer he looks. Perhaps two people are too similar in personality to love deeply and hurt thoroughly. This song is very nice. Like the previous two songs, it still uses the crisp drums and beats. But if you listen with emotion, this relaxed beat is like a girl pretending to be chic after breaking up.
Many people prefer lyric songs to fast songs. Lyric songs can always touch the strings somewhere in their hearts and make them feel the same. However, the three fast songs included in this album are the most interesting and colorful. It has no rapid melody, only comfortable and bright rhythm, and the more you listen, the more you like it. The first song of the album, Spaghetti, accurately describes a single girls's mood of looking forward to love. Spaghetti, which is not a big meal, is just the easiest simple food to cook in daily life. It is not a luxury requirement to cook a plate of spaghetti for the person you love. This song uses spaghetti as a representative food to convey the simple mood of a girl who wants to stabilize her love. In fact, it is the dream of many girls to have such a love. I remember that in "Beijing meets Seattle", the line about not eating French yachts, just soybean milk fritters, is such a simple wish.
You may have heard many songs telling you to live a relaxed life. Whether you want to wake up naturally or take a trip without baggage, you should not miss The Simple Life, which is included in this Liang Yongqi album of the same name. The pace of daily life is too fast, and I am so busy that I can't breathe. I lie sprawled in bed every day, and my mind will fantasize about living a simple life. In this life, you can roll around at home, somersault, stay in bed without combing your hair, have a good sleep, have no phone calls, have no guests to visit, and be happy. In this song, my favorite lyric is: "If one day, I let go of everything and have nothing, will I be happier?" Is it wrong to stop going forward and find someone to love? " We are in such a hurry that we forget to live a good life and talk about a love without hesitation. It is better to stop and learn to be content and enjoy life.
"Rainy Day" is a very interesting song. It covers the song "Rainy Day" of the same name by the German band Fool's Garden (Fool's Garden should be familiar to everyone, and has sung Lemon Tree). The whole tune is jazz style. After Gigi's singing, it adds a little feminine feeling and makes rainy days interesting. This song has a strong visual sense. It has been raining for several days, blocking a girl in the house, listening to the radio bored at home, waiting for her loved one to call her. The distance between lovers is very subtle. If you are too close, you will get bored, and if you are too far away, you will miss. Although it sounds melodramatic, it is a common mentality of a girl in love. Throughout the music, there is also a funny radio talk, and the announcer's tone is funny, which matches the song very well. There are also telephone rings and the sound of rain ... creating a very real listening atmosphere.
In addition to these three fast songs, there are three lyric songs that are particularly emotional-I'm very happy, Tell him I don't love him and Precipitate. I would like to introduce the song "I am very happy" here, and it is because of this song that I recall this album. It all started when my friend finally let go of the past and decided to start a new life three years after breaking up. The reason why I can't get out of the last emotional injury for three years is because when I broke up with my predecessor, she didn't give her a proper answer, not that she didn't love her, nor that she was not good enough, but the breakup was so sudden and unprepared. Three years later, the encounter and conversation with her predecessor finally untied her heart knot for many years and let her let it go completely. The song "I'm very happy" just sings this kind of relieved mood. Many people will have feelings that are hard to let go and unwilling after breaking up. If you want to end a relationship, you always need a clear ending emotionally before you can really look forward. The so-called time is not long enough, or the newcomers are not good enough, which is not the reason why they can't let go. What is important is to let this story end from the heart and draw a complete full stop for each other.
Yoga Lin's Lie and Liang Yongqi's Tell him I don't love him are very similar in emotional expression. Although I still love you, I don't want you to sympathize with me or feel guilty. I'd rather tell you that I'm doing well than see my lonely back. I really like Liang Yongqi's firm tone when she sang "Tell him I don't love him". Her emotions are in place, especially the words "Tell him". She is determined and strong, and everything will be fine and let it go with the wind.
The emotion expressed in Precipitation is the most profound song in the whole album, and it is the truth that people only appreciate after a series of changes in their feelings. The melody of the whole song is slow, just like a person's thoughts after understanding. Because he knows it, he is no longer stubborn. When you find that some things can't be solved by "love", a sense of powerlessness comes to mind. Then, we can only put it down, stop tangled, and let everything settle down.
finally, I want to mention a song with a very special melody, called Free Fall. Its notes are stacked and spiraled up, and then fall like a free fall. In 1998, this kind of creation was still a relatively novel type, and later I heard Xu Zhepei's Balloon, and I will feel the same. The lyrics and melodies of Free Fall fit perfectly, showing a person's entanglement and anxiety in feelings to the fullest, and the desire to break free from bondage and seek security is also reflected in subtleties.
Generally speaking, this album of the same name from 1998 is one of her rare classics, and it also evokes a distant memory. Perhaps every album in that era was precious and hard-won. You can listen to it repeatedly and never tire of listening to it before you know how to savor it. Nowadays, digital music has become the mainstream, and it is too easy to hear all kinds of songs, so it is not as serious as in the past. New songs may not be without classics, but people just have no time to understand them.
I hereby write this article and recommend it to people who have never heard of this album, and also to people who, like me, have spent a beautiful youth with this album.
