"The power of the Flying Tiger makes us firm in our dreams... Basketball teenager you are all my youth..." These are two words in the new team song of the Xinjiang Flying Tigers Men's Basketball Team, some people feel embarrassed at first, but this melody may become the most beautiful memory of some people's youth.
Xinjiang's latest theme song "Live up to the dream of youth basketball" was first sung at the expedition ceremony, officially released a few days ago, from Xinjiang singer Anivarjiang. In 2007, he was with Chen Chusheng, Su Xing and others as the top ten in the Xi'an division of "Happy Male Voice", but he was not popular in the entertainment industry, so many people may not be familiar with him, but Xinjiang fans are old friends reunion, extra happy.
As early as 12 years ago, Ainival Jiang and Tu Zhiwei created the theme song of the 09-10 season for Xinjiang, called "Faith". "The only faith in our hearts is to take down every opponent. hey! You don't have to hurry back to defense, or my three-pointer will make you shiver, we have infinite strength, we are strong flying tigers, we are ready to play, we are the king of the game. ”
Since then, Aniwar Jiang has once again created the theme song "Power" for Xinjiang in the 12-13 season, with a catchy melody, and the drum beats close to the heartbeat in the background sound make people's blood boil, and the lyrics are more ingenious. Unlike the 09-10 season, Xinjiang experienced the nightmare of losing to Guangdong in the playoffs for four consecutive years, and the confidence of fans and teams was shaken, and the future was even more confused.
Therefore, in the lyrics of "Strength", there are two sentences, "The promises made by everyone will be fulfilled" and "Waiting for the day of victory to come, we will build a sea of hope shoulder to shoulder." When Xinjiang finally wins the championship after 5 years, looking at these lyrics, it is really not abandoned and does not live up to love.
Xinjiang is a fertile land for Original Chinese music and the creator of CBA team songs.
Back in the 06-07 season, other CBA teams that came to the Red Mountain Stadium suddenly found that a song that was often played in the stadium was very western, the melody was free from the traditional music of the Uyghurs, joyful and dynamic, very suitable for warm-up before the game, but also to mobilize the fan atmosphere. This is the "Happy CBA" written and sung by Ali, "I stand on this stage, the feverish heartbeat beats the beat, I see you cheering, this is an era of dreams boiling ..."
Xinjiang has since also produced a special MV to match the publicity, which is also the earliest original team song with local characteristics in the history of the CBA. The atmosphere of Hongshan has greatly inspired many teams, like the Shandong men's basketball team, which has since made a rewritten version of "Good Han Song", as the team's theme song.
Guangdong Hongyuan in 2010 after the victory of the celebration meeting, for the first time to release the team song "I Can Fly", it is said that before the 2020 champion parade there are women's group performances, but I really have no impression, so far did not find the audio, only found the lyrics of the legend, "Ican fly, greet the rainbow after the rain, I can fly, tear open the haze of the night, I can fly, life with passion to praise, I can fly, Hongyuan ideal in the heart." If you have a friend clear, you may wish to leave a message, I thank you in advance.
Since 2006, Xinjiang has continuously launched theme songs, and the singer Shi Yin's "With You" (and "Happy CBA" lyricist are Liu Xiang) in the 2007-08 season. In the 08-09 season, the year when Xinjiang really began to compete for the championship, the theme song "Fly Up" was written by Xinjiang singer An Mingliang, and the first game of The Red Mountain in that season, An Mingliang, Anivarjiang, Zhu Yan, Kaibo, and Roger sang hard.
Aniwar Jiang and Tu Zhiwei completed the creation of "Faith" in the following season, and they and An Mingliang are both native singer-songwriters in Xinjiang and have also participated in "Happy Male Voice". An Liangliang's famous song "Here is Xinjiang" has also been repeatedly played in Hongshan, and Anivarjiang and others have also covered it many times.
"The waters of Kanas Lake glow silver against the sunset, the Tarim River flows in the middle of the desert, and I think I long for me to sing my bloom, to sing in the land where I was born. I ascended to feel the sunshine of Turpan and watched the Tianshan Mountains stretch for thousands of miles into the distance, although I left my hometown a long time ago, but I will never forget my Xinjiang in my memories. ”
Music is now an indispensable companion to CBA venues, such as Guangdong's home "Can't Say Goodbye" and Sun Yue's classic "Journey to the West" episode when he played for Beijing Shougang. However, the original theme song is still not the mainstream in the league team, and it is the most mainstream way to choose a song with a higher degree of singing according to the needs.
In fact, as early as 21 years ago, the CBA was at the forefront of the theme song trend.
At the pre-season press conference of the 00-01 Hilton Chinese Men's Basketball A League, a song sung by the famous rock group Zero Point Band became the theme song of the league. Lead singer Zhou Xiaoou has become a golden supporting role in major film and television works 20 years later, but his musical works have never been forgotten, and this song has long become a legend in the history of the CBA.
Zero Point band is also an avid football fan, after which they rushed into the 2002 World Cup for the national football team to create "Defeat Themselves", "how many people waited bitterly, boiled into tears but still loved, how many years of infatuation did not change, after all setbacks but never said defeat." In 2003, the Chinese Super League collected the theme song, zero point shot again, this plan as the last chapter of the trilogy of "Beyond Themselves" named "Beyond", has become a classic of the Chinese Super League.
In 2020, on the eve of the CBA resumption, the league officially played a cross-border cooperation, partner Luo Tianyi, Yan He and other Vsinger all members reinterpreted the MV of "Believe in Yourself", "Believe in yourself, the dream is in your hands, this is your world." "However, the Easter egg video recorded by Zhao Jiwei and Luo Tianyi is really embarrassing."
Although it was 20 years ago, the league was still very thoughtful at that time, but it was limited by the system, funding and other issues, and many projects were eventually aborted. In 2003, another song entered the league vision, Yu Quan and Huang Zheng's new song "Run" in the 03-04 season opening match, the first time sung at the Shougang Basketball Center, "Flying with the wind has a dream to make wings, dare to love and dare to be brave to break through", which is indeed in line with the youth of the basketball arena.
However, since then, the CBA has not produced a theme song for many years.
Until the 13-14 season, Taiwanese singer Kong Lingqi, at the invitation of Li Ning, released the single "Make YourOwn Way" as the theme song of the season. Kong Lingqi's fate with the CBA is actually very early, in the 2007 All-Star Game, he hosted a dunk contest and a charity auction dinner, and then he had the opportunity to write songs for the CBA because of the audio produced by Li Ning's spokesperson Dwyane Wade's product launch.
This song seems to follow Jay Chou's "Bullfighting" and TANK's "Bullfighting", a pulse of HIP-HOP style, although it is less enthusiastic, it is also a good basketball song with a full sense of rhythm. The highlight of the year was to invite Guo Allen to shoot the MV, and Da Lunzi also came to a dunk in addition to playing handsome, and Kong Lingqi also specially invited a big-name choreographer for the whole song.
Speaking of MV, Guo Allen is by no means the only one, in 2017, in GNZ48's "say no", Guangdong defender Zhao Rui quietly made a cameo. Many parts of that MV were filmed in the Guangdong Training Gym, and they were also invited to guangdong home for a halftime show in the 6th round of the new season, but Zhao Rui was suspended in that game.
The CBA has now abandoned the theme song of the season, and more entertainment has remained above the All-Stars. From many years ago, Wang Zhizhi sang "Green Apple Paradise", to Battle's "Mongolian" dance, like Zhang Liangying's "Radiance" in 2006, the fruity VC "Strong Freedom" in 2013, and GAI and Sun Yue and Hu Mingxuan performed "The Great Wall" in 2020. By the way, Yang Wu once chose Jike's elegant "Go Now" for NBA publicity, which can be said to be a perfect match.
A song specially produced for CBA All-Stars, representative of 2016, the league sponsor FAW-Volkswagen approached Chen Zitong and made a song called "One More", the chorus part is very catchy, "You can never break my heart and soul, hold up my proud head, this doomed victory battle, dribbling, passing, three-point go." In this sacred hall, full of unquenchable dreams, I look ahead and burst out of the accumulated strength. It was a hot battlefield, a boiling desire for victory, and I stretched out my arms and embraced the light of glory. ”
In addition to the official version of the league and the team, loyal fans who love basketball have also written some good songs. In 2018, when Liaoning won the championship, Li Jiadan Xiao K and Ghostbird Dafei's "In the Name of Liaoning" wrote the names and characteristics of Liaoning players in the Rap part, "stop and shake the bubble pepper, let you all be reimbursed for your ankles, the field is a high-profile pass, efficient defense is like plaster, continue to be great, Xiao Zhao, may you not be knocked down by difficulties, will not be plagued by injuries", but unfortunately the chorus melody is not brainwashed enough.
Before that, the rap group DANK also wrote "The Heart of a Champion" for Xinjiang's victory in 2017, and the chorus part will be more intimate, "Never give up the dream, because it will bring you strength, don't wander, don't be sad, victory will appear in front of you, believe in yourself, the dream realization is not a miracle, clasp your hands high above your head, enjoy the final victory with tears in your eyes." ”
The music does not stop, basketball has dreams, I would like to encourage with the lyrics, "on the road of the thorns and thorns, (do not forget) the original faith" .
