67-year-old Luo Dayou: the "godfather of the music world" who is being forgotten by the times and abandoned by young people

author:Uncle Pick-up

He is the wild lily of the affectionate style in the spring, he is the rolling red dust of the world;

He is the childhood of twitter, he is the small town of Lukang that carries nostalgia;

Jay Chou once said: "I think Luo Dayou is a singer of the times.

Once, when a couple was traveling abroad, the taxi driver kept humming a song.

The taxi driver asked the couple if they knew the song's title?

All he knew was that the song had been given to his mother by a Chinese restaurant owner. This is also Mom's favorite song.

After his mother's death, the tape of the song was also missing, and since then, whenever he met a Chinese face, he would hum the song, hoping to get the title of the song.

He slowly lost confidence after many fruitless searches. Until this time.

The couple told him that the song was called "Love Song 1990" and that the author of the song was Luo Dayou.

The lyrics of "Love Song 1990" are sincere in emotion, romantic and seem to be melancholy, and the melody is beautiful and full of faint sadness.

The song was written in the movie "A Lang's Story", the song is light and catchy, but this also seems to imply that happy times are always short-lived, in exchange for endless pain and sighs.

''The dark black eyes and your smiling face, it's hard to forget the change in your face.'' The old time that fluttered lightly slipped away, and when I turned my head back to look, it had been a few years in a hurry. ‘’

At the time, the song explored more about the nature of love and life, and was known as "the right hand criticizes reality, and the left hand sings about love."

The simple lyrics, seemingly vulgar, are actually elegant.

At the Golden Horse Awards for Best Film Music that year, although he was defeated by the theme song of the movie "Laughing at the Sea", Luo Dayou's musical talent was fully revealed.

67-year-old Luo Dayou: the "godfather of the music world" who is being forgotten by the times and abandoned by young people

Luo Dayou, 67, is the "godfather of the music world" who is being forgotten by the times and abandoned by young people.

It's been a long time since you've heard of Luo Dayou.

Can you still hum his songs now, or can you still hear someone sing his golden song on KTV?

I think the answer is no, in the era of rapid consumption people are subject to the impact of various cultures, and it is not a helplessness for the works of the older generation of musicians to be desolately presented to the point of no one.'s attention.

Today we talk about the godfather of music that has grown up with generations.

Luo Dayou was born in 1954, and his birth is in the midst of a changing era.

His father was a benevolent doctor, his mother was a compassionate nurse, and even his brother and sister were engaged in doctor-related professions.

It can be said that Luo Dayou was born in a family of doctors, and the family is also full of ardent expectations for Luo Dayou's birth.

It is reasonable to say that growing up in such an environment, Luo Dayou's life is inseparable from the profession of doctors.

But fate changed quietly.

When he was young, Luo Dayou's brother brought back a guitar, which was Luo Dayou's first exposure to music.

Later, his father bought a piano at home, which once again ignited Luo Dayou's excitement for music.

At that time, Luo Dayou's family just hoped that when they were studying, Luo Dayou had some different hobbies.

I hope that Luo Dayou will still follow the direction they have chosen, and the profession of doctor has its own future.

The 18-year-old Luo Dayou did not live up to his parents' expectations and successfully entered medical school.

However, Luo Dayou's love for music has never stopped, and even has a feeling of intensification.

In the process of medical school, Luo Dayou was exposed to a lot of musical styles, and in school he also formed a band with several like-minded classmates.

When he reached the age of 26, he finished his medical school and came to Taipei.

He worked in the hospital while writing songs.

At the age of 28, he released his debut album "The One Who Cares", and threatened: "There are no songs here that are not painful or itchy. ”

Gao Xiaosong once said: "Luo Dayou has written all the elegy of this era 30 years ago."

This is true.

To this day, "Zhi Hu Ye" is still a symbolic album in the Chinese music scene.

Among them, the song "The Story of Time and Yin" uses the narrative technique of Xingyun to rely on the past youth, and the young sentiments have turned into deep mourning in the passage of time.

"The Future Master" is Luo Dayou's second album.

A song, a record, it is not easy for people to like, and it is even more difficult for people to think after listening to it.

Years later, when we listen to it again, those questions are still mapped in our minds, and there are no answers.

"This is actually the most painful record, the setbacks encountered, the feeling of failure is the most."

"The Master of the Future" is permeated with a depressed and desolate mood from beginning to end, and the atmosphere of the times full of powerlessness in the outside world is related.

In his view: in the new era of sound and color dogs and horses, there are not many people who understand music, and even fewer people understand the world!

If Li Zongsheng is "tailor-made", then Luo Dayou is "speaking for everyone".

One is to say that you say that I talk about feelings, and the other is to talk about society, Li Zongsheng's "little me" melody is beautiful, and Luo Dayou's "big love" analyzes the era.

Luo Dayou wrote songs for many people, but it wasn't until September of the millennium that the music legend gave his first solo concert in Shanghai.

At that time, he was 46 years old, and he was still full of anger after the age of confusion.

Luo Dayou and Li Lie were friends who had known each other when they were young.

At their best years, they knew each other. One is a talented music creator and the other is a well-known television actor.

Luo Dayou and Li Lie, who were known as "talented women" at that time, knew each other for 20 years and fell in love for 12 years, but their married life lasted only one year and nine months, which surprised many people at the same time, and could not help but feel sorry for it.

Luo Dayou actually said that I would not be taken care of if I lived alone, and nakedly picked her up and left.

Talking about his ex-wife Li Lie many years later, he said: "It is right to throw away a negative man. ”

After Luo Dayou and Zhang Aijia announced their relationship, they were once considered by the outside world to be a pair of Lang Cai's female appearance, but this marriage did not last long, and it ended dismal.

Years later, Zhang Aijia said that the reason for the divorce was: "When love has passed a vigorous stage, Luo Dayou believes that love is not all he has in life.

Luo Dayou married his now-out-of-circle wife Elaine in 2010, and it is reported that Elaine is 13 years younger than Luo Dayou, and the daughters of the two are born through artificial insemination, so it is not easy for both of them.

He moved 19 times in his life, wandered for 30 years, and finally returned to his hometown because he had a daughter.

Luo Dayou is a typical daughter slave, picking up and dropping off her daughter from school every day, no matter where she goes, her eyes are on her daughter.

Now that he has slowly faded out of the screen, he enjoys the father-daughter time very much, spending happy days with his daughter at home, and his life is plain and happy.
