1986(Sat)
Doubts are shattered
Useless to hate the mundane
If you are worried about everything today
Can he mention it after the change
"Lost" - Music: Lei Youhui, Lyrics: Inkui, Singing: Tai Chi Band
"Red Sports Car" is just a beginning for the Tai Chi Band, "Lost" is far superior to the former in terms of composition and arrangement, the beat in a song changes several times, and the melody is so stylish, which makes everyone particularly admire the Tai Chi Band. Coupled with the appearance of beyond, we all had high expectations for the future development of Cantonese pop music in Hong Kong, China. Other bands and singers are also emerging, and we have come to a period of great change in Hong Kong music, whose music has its own identity, but there are different colors in it!
Lost is probably my favorite Tai Chi work.
Stay in your own land, the portrait has its own universe
Is your own land like your inner universe?
Man adds love to the land in exchange for the coldness of a foreign land
Can weave beauty with faith, success or failure depends on their own to make
"China Hotel" - Music: Ou Xinming, Lyrics: Ou Xinming, Singing: Fanfeng Band
Ou Xinming has been windy from the island in the past!
In the face of the immigration trend of that year, it is really not easy to write such excellent works and get everyone's recognition. Even if he ends up choosing to immigrate for love or other reasons, it's a good thing that he can retain this patriotic feeling in music, especially when Chinese pop culture has reached an unprecedented point.
More or less, it is inevitable that Kojima's style will fly over the wind, but when the arrangement and performance have such a novelty, how can it be a bad thing? Kojima, Fanfeng and Tai Chi, Beyond and Ukiyo-e have all led to a rare new phenomenon of music in Hong Kong, as well as other bands and singers!
After the silence, I was reluctant to speak again
Long road you accompany me, accompany up the slope
The street lamps cover your face and you resent me
With a cold face, I asked weakly what do you complain about?
"Once in Your Arms" - Music: Lin Mude, Lyrics: Lu Guochen, Singing: Chen Baiqiang, Lin Shanshan
I said that there is no shortage of choral works this year, Chen Baiqiang and Lin Shanshan confirmed this very romantically, and this is not the first time they have cooperated, so the tacit understanding is particularly good, it is a pair with a younger sense of age than Zhang Guorong + Chen Jieling.
It is rare to see such a deep emotional contradiction as "Once in Your Arms" in the love songs of young couples, and it is more straightforward to put the heart on the table, which is how fashionable it is! Teacher Lu Guochen did not go downhill at all! In particular, it is even more valuable when you can't imagine that these words will come out of the mouths of these two singers so directly. They are not Lin Zixiang and Du Lisha, they are two who can no longer be idolized, but it doesn't matter, Lu Guozhan still did it for us.
How nice is that! In idol songs that have waited for a few years, we will never hear such fashion and boldness again!
I - sell drunk after being a plaything
Tears trampled on the wounds
Who wants to be touched everywhere on the body
Who would like to kiss a thousand lips
"Midnight Love" - Music: Li Shijian, Lyrics: Liu Meijun, Singing: Liu Meijun
Speaking of direct? That is not as direct as the new woman who is leading the way in this year's female newcomers, Liu Meijun. Of course, you can say that the song "Midnight Love" is so explicit to match the movie "Midnight Beauty", but the pen is in Miss Liu's hand, and she can be as direct as she wants. Of course, she is not afraid of anything!
The funniest thing is that she is from a high-level girls' Catholic school with Lin Shanshan, and she is about the same age. But when it comes to experience, the bold Liu Meijun with style and style is even more daring, more bold than Lin Shanshan, who is already very outspoken and bold!
In fact, the four young female singers who were ordered at that time all belonged to the same secondary school, except that Lin Shanshan and Liu Meijun were kowloon schools, and Chan Wai Yin and Lin Yilian belonged to Hong Kong Island School. As one of the top girls' schools in Hong Kong, its fame and strength are in the forefront, it is no wonder that four young female idols have suddenly appeared. Liu Meijun overtook the original leading Chen Huixian and Lin Shanshan as soon as she came, and the reason for this is not the one I mentioned: her songs can be fast or slow, and bold and avant-garde, not taking a conservative route, clear positioning, of course, the strongest trend! Unfortunately, her four classmates' stories, that is, their staying power, did not continue to be tenacious in 1987 and 1988, otherwise the results of the stories of the four classmates might be completely different.
How to talk about it, let me tell you
My heart is full of thoughts
In my sense, there is also your shadow
Enthusiasm is still a faint name
"Talk to the Heart of the Song" - Music: Lin Mude, Lyrics: Karon, Sing: Lin Shanshan
Lin Shanshan's direct lies in talking about the song, and she has really done a very successful job in this late-night radio show of the same name, this program that chats with the audience on the phone. Sometimes, I would call and scare her, and she also helped me order a song to someone, and now looking back on it is really the behavior of young people, even thinking about it feels so embarrassing! Not stylish at all, but still quite emotional. Isn't that how young people are? It's strange not to talk about love!
In this show, Shanshan explains the hearts of young listeners, does a good job, and has a such a good theme song, no wonder she fought with Liu Meijun and Chen Huixian so hard to solve! There was only one Lin Yilian left behind, hurrying and trying to chase.
Because my home is in the middle of the TV station and the radio station, the first batch of people who are displaced from my house or play or rest are Shanshan and Lu Fang, of course, they are not a couple relationship, and it seems that it is no secret that Shanshan likes handsome men.
Then the next batch came to Jacky Cheung and Lin Yilian. Thinking back to when they were photographed by reporters in my parking lot, they started gossiping, how funny! But that's a little bit later, when both of them became the hottest male and female singers in the third category of singers.
The stars once looked at me in the evening sky
Ask me why I'm crying
I said I was very sad
Everything desires to be permanent
But it always has to float through the song
"The True Self of the Day" - Original Song: "STAR" - 倉橋ルイ子, Music: Kazuya Yakura, Lyrics: Lin Zhenqiang, Singing: Chen Jieling
This is perhaps the most prominent and emotional one among so many good lyrics this year, and it is also one of the most wonderful lyrics in Lin Zhenqiang's life. Growing pains, there are many kinds of growing pains, this theme is enduring, plump up a lot of movies and songs, but like Lin Zhenqiang, to grab your heart and say the pain of leaving the innocence, it is rare.
Very few lyricists will talk about impermanence in popular songs, even if everyone understands to a greater or lesser extent that everything in the world is drifting and passing. About ten years ago at this time, Huang Xia wrote the golden sentence "Do you know that the world is constantly changing, and change is eternal", but this great lyricist, who is almost Lin Zhenqiang's brother-in-law, stopped here and did not talk further about how this fickle world affects the fragile heart of human beings.
And in "The Day That True Me", Lin Zhenqiang continues this story for Huang Xia, digging out how painful it is for human beings to face impermanent life, but he is not pessimistic. He simply but very nakedly tells us this fact. It's just that the strength of this punch into the heart is too fierce!
Who makes the heavy reins hang on each shoulder
Darkness calls for the wings to fall off
Who makes the childish heart lose the sense of love
Let the world gradually become indifferent
The emptiness of not being able to fly is hidden in the human heart
Fall into this corner of the earth
In front of you is endless wind and sand, and that place can be settled
I had to keep searching
"Flying Realm" – Original Song: "Unexpected Song" – < Song & Dance> OST, Sarah Brightman: Andrew Lloyd Webber, Lyrics: Pan Yuanliang, Singing: Zhen Ni
By this time, only Pan Yuanliang could compete with Lin Zhenqiang in height, depth, and sensibility, although there were already many excellent new lyricists emerging in the 1980s. Just like the three sages of the last era led the music industry, this year, we will look at the magic skills of Lin Zhenqiang and Pan Yuanliang! While the other newcomers also have some good works, they seem to be gods descending from heaven!
"Flying Realm" is a bit like a response to the feeling of "The True Self of the Day". Lin Zhenqiang went inside, pan Yuanliang went outside! The result is another good word that makes people feel floating in the air, which is much better than the original word, of course, they face different themes.
When "The True Self of the Day" didn't give us a solution, "Flying Realm" came. As if tightly catching Lin Zhenqiang, Pan Yuanliang let us fly! This is not an ordinary inspirational song, it contains an attitude and spirit of life, it can be seen that Apan's outlook on life is very wide, so it is really difficult for him to write love songs so delicately!
Of course, fortunately, I later met and had the opportunity to work with these two predecessors, and it was then that I really understood why they could be so delicate, but at the same time they could have such a grand view of life. The reason is that both of them are incurable romantics, but at the same time very rational and principled thinkers. Comparatively speaking, the previous three sages of the word altar are all once-in-a-century strongmen, hong Kong, China happily has three in an era, but when it comes to romance, sexiness, style, sensibility, understanding women, and manliness, no one in the music scene in the eighties must be able to match these two strange men: Pan Yuanliang and Lin Zhenqiang!
This time when it comes to 1986, I didn't play too many songs of the first type of celebrities, but that doesn't mean they didn't have wonderful works. In fact, Mei Yanfang is still thriving, Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guorong also have their own wonderful, and the two kings and one queen sit steadily. Zhang Guorong had "The True Colors of Heroes" this year, so that after "Rouge Buckle", he also caught up with Zhou Runfa in terms of movies, of course, he also produced the classic theme song "Love of the Year". And this year, there are many good songs in his album, especially "Love Fire" and "Confuse Me", which have played his artist code to the fullest, so that more fans are drunk and fall at his feet!
《Fire》 - Original: "Sad Color" – Ueda Masaaki, Song: Hayashi Tetsuji, 词: 张Kokukoku 荣, Recited by Yin Kokukoku
Although Tan Yonglin did not directly confront Zhang Guorong, who was becoming more and more powerful in fast songs, there were still excellent pop dance songs like "Assassin", which did not lag behind at all, and brought out a new creator Liu Yida, so that his talent was fully displayed. Perhaps friends in the mainland are more familiar with Liu Yida's identity as an actor, in fact, he is one of the music masters who could not be left without in the 1980s! His and his partner's contribution to Hong Kong music will not be smaller than Beyond, and this time he also helped Tam Wing Lin write a very romantic "First Tear".
"Assassin" - Music: Liu Yida, Lyrics: Lin Zhenqiang, Singing: Tan Yonglin
Although Mui Yanfang, like Zhang Guorong, dominated the Cantonese song scene this year with dance music, she also left two classic Mui Yanfang-style love songs, "Walk Alone" and "Obsessed with Love Once", the latter is also the work of Huang Liangsheng of Blue Jeans of blue warriors! It's been an era of blossoming flowers!
"Obsessed with Love Once" - Music: Huang Liangsheng, Lyrics: Lin Mincong, Singing: Mei Yanfang
