Four hundred and forty-eight chapters have lived like this for thirty years.
After Liu Yunqing left, Ye Weiyang did not continue to focus on the post-production of "Blue and White Porcelain", but instead began to think about the new album.
Last time, after sorting out five songs related to the themes of "Ideal" and "Living", he temporarily stopped selecting songs for the new album and instead devoted himself to the recording of the "Ye Weiyang" classic record.
But in his spare time, he was also thinking about this.
When talking about rock and roll, it is obvious that we must think of the famous Wang Banbi.
Although his team said at that time that Wang Feng was half of the Chinese music scene, it was indeed a bit funny.
But if we talk about Chinese rock music two thousand years later, Wang Feng can barely occupy half of the country.
After all, Chinese rock has indeed weakened a lot two thousand years later. 15 years ago, when excellent independent bands had not yet entered the public eye, when it came to rock, most ordinary people must think of Wang Feng.
So it is not wrong to say that he is half of the Chinese rock music after the millennium in his previous life.
Since the band's next album is positioned as rock, we must not miss Teacher Wang's songs.
After searching for Teacher Wang’s songs, Ye Weiyang really found a suitable song for him!
"Blooming Life"
The roar in this song that sings to the sky and wants to live out a "blooming life" is very exciting.
This kind of unwillingness to life, the vitality and the desire and motivation that overflows from the bottom of the heart, is to transcend the ordinary, break free from external constraints, and realize the power of oneself.
It is also the power that fits the theme of the next album of the band without closing!
Although it still has something incompatible with the theme of "ideal".
But if the album name of the next album is "Living", this song "Blooming Life" is very suitable.
Moreover, the more Ye Weiyang thought about it, the more he felt that Wu Dawei was right. The name "People without Ideals are not sad" is too narrow. It is indeed difficult to cover the meaning that the entire album wants to convey when used as an album name.
Songs including "Hundred Thousand Hippies" and "Goodbye Jack" are actually not consistent with the name of this album.
Adding to "Blooming Life", Ye Weiyang felt that the title of the album "Living" is very suitable.
The songs between Jing Bo'an and Yang Xiao are not inconsistent when they are played in the album.
After all, "living" also involves love!
So after confirming that "Blooming Life" was added to the album, the Chinese second specialty of the band that never closed was also named by Ye Weiyang.
It's called "Living"!
After the album title was established, it inspired Ye Weiyang a lot of inspiration.
Since the album is called "Living", the selection of songs does not necessarily have to be limited to ideals. Although people must live with ideals so that their lives can be vivid enough, it is obvious that the meaning of "living" is not just about having ideals.
Like "Kill the Shijiazhuang Man", Ye Weiyang has always liked the song "Shenjiazhuang Man", but it does not match the original idea, you can also join the second special issue!
"Kill That Shijiazhuang Man" was created by Universal Youth Hostel. It was released in 2010 and was included in their album "Universal Youth Hostel" with "One Hundred Thousand Hippies".
This "Everyone Youth Hostel" is also known as the rock and roll masterpiece, and is the best Chinese independent rock master, and is regarded as a masterpiece.
The lyrics of the song "Kill That Shijiazhuang Man" are very simple. It is the huge pain caused by the rapid social transformation in the early 1990s. It is the tremendous pain caused by the rapid transformation of society. It has become a scar that cannot be forgotten by one or even two generations.
Although the title of this song is very regional, it does not really refer to "one person"!
This song is a group!
This song is the inner cry of those abandoned people in the post-industrial era!
"Living like this for thirty years until the building collapsed."
"Night covers the North China Plain, and sadness soaks her face."
"Life in experience until the building collapses."
"Ten thousand horses running in his mind."
"The darkness deep in the clouds drowns the landscape in my heart."
The lyrics of this song are actually not many, but every word hurts people's hearts.
The "building" sung in the lyrics represents different meanings in the hearts of every listener.
It may be a building of family, a building of work, a building of hallucination, a building of life, a building of comfort zone, all of which are there.
And the buildings will eventually collapse.
When Ye Weiyang first listened to this song, he was just working and had a roommate.
At that time, the roommate worked in a state-owned enterprise. He got off work at six o'clock every day, took his clothes to dry clean + picked up dry-cleaned clothes, went home to drink a bottle of beer, then went to bed at nine o'clock, and went to work early the next morning, day after day, unchanged.
At that time, the first time Ye Weiyang heard this song was him.
"Living like this for thirty years until the building collapsed."
What makes people feel even more ridiculous is that Ye Weiyang also remembered his parents when he listened to the song.
They used to be a microcosm of the era when they were sung in songs.
The last batch of assigned college students, who then worked safely for a few years, were notified to be laid off.
His young life changed from a relatively wealthy living environment to a change in the market with his mother and his father going south to work.
At that time, Xiao Ye Weiyang, who was only a few years old, was collapsing in his heart.
My mother was originally a cadre who didn’t even know how to do housework. She had no skills except accounting. After being laid off, she was forced to wholesale a bag of clothes and came to the market to sell them.
He was quite young at that time, but his mother sat at a loss next to the stall, with a shy expression that he dared not shout. He still remembers now.
In the end, my mother couldn't sell the clothes and took the batch of clothes to the neighbors.
At that time, the building was collapsing. The father, who had been taking care of their mother and son, had no choice but to go south to Pengcheng to work.
At that time, the only one who could contact my father was a public telephone downstairs.
Ye Weiyang may only see his father once in half a year. Every time he sees his father, he sees a tired face, which he still remembers very clearly.
His family went from being relatively wealthy to being very financially strapped.
In fact, this incident was not very desperate for his life. After all, life soon got on track.
But the collapse of this building had a real impact on his small and fragile family.
The thinking of the older generation is to simply work safely in one place, get married, have children, and live your life.
When this kind of life is impacted, they will also be afraid and uneasy.
It is also because of this incident that my parents firmly did not support Ye Weiyang in playing music, and asked him to learn a technique that could support himself stably.
Finally, at the request of his parents, he passed the computer department and became a coder after graduation, rising and falling in Canton.
His life was also changed because of this "laid-off wave".
Ye Weiyang has fantasized more than once that if his parents were not "drafted", if the family could not have so many twists and turns, they could be more stable and wealthy, and they could give him more support.
Perhaps his musical dream is also possible, and perhaps he does not have to succumb to the cruel reality and choose a computer that he doesn't like at all.
Ye Weiyang, who had just graduated at the time, had been suppressed in his heart, and was also ignited by this song.
Universal Youth Hostel.
"Kill that Shijiazhuang Man"
The lyrics of this song are very obscure and touching.
The reality and music are perfectly integrated.
Changes in cities and even social changes will experience such pain.
This song is nothing more than a microcosm of history.
There are many cities in China.
