"hope"

This proposition is very general, and it is still the usual routine of "Singer and Writer".

What kind of song is related to "hope"?

a lot of.

Songs such as "My Sky", "Ordinary Road", "Sparrow", "Sailor", "Ten Thousand Sorrows", "Red Sun", "The Nameless", etc. are all related to hope.

Including the general view of "Chasing Dreams and Childhood Heart" prepared by Ye Weiyang for Huang Bai, it can also be regarded as a fit for the proposition of "hope".

However, when Ye Weiyang saw the word "hope" on the bottle cap.

The song he thought of was the song of a legendary band.

....

After the video was over, on the way back to the hotel, Jing Bo'an and Puding were all discussing the propositions they drew today.

"Hope", a very simple proposition that is difficult to write well.

To put it simply, it is because any song can actually be related to hope.

Even writing love songs is OK, for example, writing a song that expresses your hope of having a girlfriend. Isn’t this related to “hope”?

But it is difficult to say that it is because compared to these little loves, it is definitely great love and is more suitable for the proposition of "hope".

And it is best to be an inspiring song that can inspire people, and be positive and positive, so that it can be considered excellent.

But this kind of song is hard to write.

In the music scene in the previous life, why did the song "Sailor" last for decades? It is because there are so few songs that can inspire people and bring hope and firm beliefs to people.

"He said that this little pain in the wind and rain is nothing. Don't be afraid of wiping away the tears, at least we still have dreams."

This simple but touching song has inspired generations of young people, allowing generations of young people to replenish hope when they are frustrated.

For the proposition of "hope", it is naturally the best situation if you can write a song like "Sailor".

But this is too difficult.

After discussing enthusiastically, Puding and Jing Bo'an and others felt that they should not put too much pressure on Ye Weiyang. Don't just write a few fine songs before, so they naturally think that Ye Weiyang will definitely be able to write songs of this level every time.

Ye Weiyang, who had been silent and did not join the discussion, shook his head and smiled secretly in his heart.

What pressure can he have? At most, he just felt that it was a bit troublesome to choose one from several fine songs.

A man with a world-class song library is so confident.

As a result, his silence made Pudding think that he was under too much pressure or was stumped by the proposition, so he quickly comforted him and said:

"Weiyang, we just talk casually, don't have to be so arrogant. Even if you write some love songs or ordinary songs, don't put too much pressure on yourself, we all support you!"

Ye Weiyang smiled and shook his head, explaining: "I am not under great pressure, I am just thinking about something."

"What's the matter?" Everyone looked puzzled.

Ye Weiyang simply said: "The proposition of "hope" is very big. In my inventory, there are only a few songs that match this proposition. I am struggling with which song to choose."

???

Good guy, everyone is worrying about you, but you tell us backhand, don’t worry, I have a lot of songs and am hesitating to pick which song.

This is human words!

"What song? Take it out and discuss it together." Jing Bo'an couldn't wait.

Ye Weiyang raised his eyebrows, it's okay, there are multiple people and multiple opinions, and he also has difficulty choosing.

I took out the laptop I carried with me from the car. After unlocking it, Ye Weiyang opened a folder with high density.

There were several songs lying inside, and the two songs ranked first made him hesitate and didn't know which song to choose.

Among them, one of them is called "Glorious Years"!

Another song is called "The Sea and the Sky"!

Both songs can be consistent with the proposition "Hope" drawn, and they are also classic songs that explode.

Moreover, the two songs themselves are very high-level.

"The Glorious Years", a song written by Wong Ka Kui to South African President Mandela.

Wong Ka Kui believes that Mandela's spiritual connotation is about struggle and hope, and it coincides with Beyond's background of hard work in Hong Kong, which resonates very much, so he wrote this song.

It is worth mentioning that this song was written when Wong Ka Kui was 24 years old. Sometimes a young singer-songwriter does not mean that he cannot write in-depth music. This thing really depends on talent.

"Can you not distinguish between skin color? I hope that in this land, you and me are not distinguished from each other's heights?"

"The beauty of colorful colors shines out because it does not, separates each color."

In just two sentences, the whole song's intention was raised to the height of human beings, and the hope and vision for equality among all kinds of skin colors.

The theme of this song is to convey the spirit of equality and fraternity.

In addition to the band's consistent creative attitude of paying attention to social reality, from the perspective of creators and bands, the spiritual connotation of this song is more about struggle and hope.

It is very concise and has a very high idea, so it is the level of being the king.

Classics are things that can withstand the tempering and precipitation of time and can still bring shock to your soul in different eras. No matter how time changes, it is still as dazzling as a pearl.

Another song "The Sea and the Sky" has not been so big, but it is full of hope.

In fact, when this song was first released, it was not really recognized by the public.

But as time goes by, this song has become the most brilliant one in Wong Ka Kui's works.

Why?

Let’s talk about the creation background of this song.

In 1990, Wong Ka Kui believed that Hong Kong only had an entertainment industry, but no music industry.

So they were a little discouraged and turned to Japan to develop.

However, when it was developing in Japan, Wong Ka Kui discovered that the industrial process of Japanese music was more rigorous and soulless.

"The Sea and the Sky" was written at this time.

This song expresses their hopes in Japan's various discouragements, and is also a kind of power full of precipitation.

For Wong Ka Kui, this song is completely the pinnacle of his works.

Whether it is the content of the lyrics, the musicality of this song, or the vastness of the artistic conception expressed by this song, it is impeccable.

"Forgive me for being unruly and loving freedom, even if I fall one day."

During the 2008 Olympics, when Liu Xiang withdrew from the competition due to injury, the song "The Sea and the Sky" was played in the huge track and field stadium, which triggered a chorus of the audience.

Evergrande won the AFC Champions League, and the whole audience sang this song.

When the earthquake that shocked the whole country occurred, Andy Lau rewrote the lyrics and sang the song "The Sea and the Sky".

A good song that can trigger everyone to sing chorus generally requires four conditions to meet.

The first is to boost morale, be tragic and not sad.

The second is to be suitable for various occasions.

The third is to keep the lyrics concise.

The fourth is that the melody is easy to sing.

This song "The Sea and the Sky" is exactly a song that meets these four standards.

Therefore, in various occasions and in various groups, this song can give different meanings. As long as this song is sung, it will definitely trigger a chorus.

"Glorious Years"

"The Sea and the Sky"

These two songs are undoubtedly very suitable for this competition.

For Ye Weiyang, who holds two pairs of kings, this competition should be the easiest show since the recording of "I Am a Singer and Writer".
