"Forgive me for loving freedom uninhibitedly in this life, and I will be afraid that one day I will fall."
Anyone who has betrayed his ideals can do anything, even if one day he only shares with you."
This is wong ka-koo, the lyrics of the byang band "Sea Wide Sky", "Sea Wide Sky" was written by beyond the dance band, in honor of the anti-racist revolutionary fighter, black leader Mandela.
Some people also say that "The Sea and the Sky" is a portrayal of Huang Jiaju's life.
In 1992, Beyond shifted its career focus to Japan and ended its long-standing partnership with New Yibao. Becoming an international band has always been Beyond's dream, but due to Japan's strict requirements for music production and the language barrier, Beyond was quite depressed for a while, but still worked very hard.
At the end of May 1993, Beyond returned to Hong Kong from Japan, which also coincided with the tenth anniversary of Beyond's founding, so Wong Ka-koo wrote this song "Sea and Sky", which recorded Beyond's ten-year mental journey, with lyrics that carried the hardships and insistence on ideals of Wong And the band to Japan, and was included in the Cantonese album "Music and Anger". The song also expresses Wong Ka-koo's deep-seated struggles and disappointments in the Hong Kong music scene.
The development of the Chinese music scene reached prosperity in the 1980s and reached its peak in the 1990s. If I had to choose the most special year among them, I think it would be 1993. This is the most splendid, exciting and saddest year in the Chinese music scene. "Chinese Letan" today takes you to review the people, events and songs of that year.
The Hong Kong music scene entered the 90s, and after two or three years of reshuffling, the four kings stood strong and dazzling, and other singers gave way. Hong Kong's major awards ceremonies are basically monopolized by four people. For example, in 1993, the top ten Chinese golden songs were occupied by Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau with three seats each, and Li Ming and Aaron Kwok each had one seat, leaving only two seats for female singer Faye Wong and the band BEYOND.
For mainlanders, when it comes to Cantonese songs, especially Cantonese rock songs, who first comes to mind? There is no doubt that it can only be Beyond, the emergence of this band is also in line with the opportunity of China's reform and opening up, Chinese under the leadership of Cui Jian tried the charm of rock and roll, so extremely eager to enjoy new music, so Beyond came. As the first band to perform concerts in Chinese mainland, his influence continues to this day.
No rock band in Hong Kong will be forgotten for a long time, and as one of the best musicians of that era, their status is irreplaceable.
Beyond is a band that has created countless miracles, and the unexpected death of Huang Jiaju has made BEYOND even more mysterious. They left behind a large number of outstanding works, and the number of fans has not decreased, but has increased to this day. Huang Jiaju's musical spirit has also influenced generations of people, and countless people have grown up singing their songs and have long been fascinated by them. Classics lie in "melody creation", "lyric meaning", "cultural influence", and "era background" have reached a certain height. Most of the song content comes from life, there is love, there is a dream, there is family affection, there is friendship... And that era, and even today, are beliefs and symbols that cannot be left behind.
