"Song of the Sunset" has become a perfect sound, and there is no mei Yanfang in the world
There are many legends of Hong Kong music, and there are many queens of Hong Kong music, but there is only one "daughter of Hong Kong", she is Mui Yanfang.
Mei Yanfang's life is wonderful enough, but she is like that brilliant firework, blooming at the most beautiful moment but abruptly stopping, fixing rose life forever on her 40 years old.
In 2003, in the last part of her life, she held 8 farewell concerts in a row, dragged herself to the stage in a white wedding dress, and said "Bye bye" to the fans with a song "Sunset Song", and then never saw again, making the fans miss for 20 years.
Today, with the infinite nostalgia for Sister Mei, 10 representative songs are selected from the musical works of this singer and shadow double material diva, recalling this "ever-changing queen of heaven" in the song world.
10. "Only Envy the Mandarin Duck, Not the Immortal", 1994
In Taiwan in the 90s, many classic TV dramas that are still fresh in the memory of the 70s and 80s, such as "Chivalry Sees the Blue Sky" starring Liu Songren and Wan Ziliang, good TV series must also have good theme songs and interludes to support. One of the ending songs of this TV series, "Only Envy the Mandarin Duck Is Not Envious of the Immortals", is a classic love song, the lyrics and composition of the little worm, which is told by Mei Yanfang with affection, and the beautiful lyrics are accompanied by Mei Jie's special bass voice, which makes people unforgettable.
9. "The Life of Mo Qian", 1993
In 1993, in the movie "Three Heroes of the East" starring herself and her friends Yang Ziqiong and Maggie Cheung, Mei Jie sang the theme song "Mo Qian's Life", a song composed by Luo Dayou and lyrics by Lin Xi with beautiful mood and dynamic melody, which is a high-quality Hong Kong music.
8. "Rouge Buckle", 1987
The movie "Rouge Buckle" was co-starred by Mei Jie and her friend Zhang Guorong, and this movie helped the eldest sister of Hong Kong Le at that time, Big Mei Yanfang, to become the queen of the Academy Awards. The theme song of the same name is composed by Li Xiaotian and lyrics by Deng Jingsheng, with a mournful melody, sadistic lyrics, and Mei Yanfang's silky singing, just like the tragic heroine "Ruhua" recalling her life.
7. "Like the Year of Water Flow", 1984
In 2013, at the 10th anniversary of Mei Yanfang's death, Andy Lau, Mei Jie's blue confidant, sang her famous work "Like Water Flowing Year" on the spot, perhaps experiencing a parting of life and death, Andy Lau's version seems to be more infectious than Mei Jie's version.
The song "Like a Year of Flowing Water" was released in 1984, composed by the well-known Japanese artist Kitaro, and the Lyricist Zheng Guojiang filled in the lyrics of the Golden Needle Award, which is the third work of Mei Yanfang's singer career to win the golden song of the song.
6. "Bad Girl" 1985
1985 album "Bad Girl" helped Mei Yanfang to the peak of her singer's career, the record sales exceeded 800 gold in the first week, sold more than 720,000 copies in three months, Mei Jie also received the Most Popular Female Singer Award from Zhen Ni, opening her own era and becoming the "two kings and one queen" in the 80s.
The title song of the same name, "Bad Girl", is an "alternative" song, and in that relatively conservative era, Mei Jie's song and Rowan's 1983 "In the Laser" sounded a bit avant-garde, but the magical melody was a "divine comedy" type of work.
5. "I Love You a Thousand Times in My Life" 1997
In 1997, after leaving Huaxing Records, which had been playing for 15 years, Mei Yanfang followed in the footsteps of her friend Andy Lau to join Art Energy Andy and released the Chinese album "Woman Flower", which was very important in her singer career.
The album has a classic Chinese song of Mei Yanfang, "Love You Thousands of Times in My Life", which is a Chinese song with a high degree of transmission by Mei Jie, composed by Ye Liangjun and lyrics Chen Jiaming.
4. "Intimate Lover", 1991
In 1990, after the Battle of a Thousand Nights, The Big Sister of Hong Kong Music, Da Mui Yanfang, tired of endless competition, followed the example of Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guorong to withdraw from the Hong Kong Music Large-scale Awards Ceremony, and at the same time tested the waters of the Chinese song market.
In 1991, Mei Jie found the Taiwanese music godfather Xiao Worm to make Chinese album for her, Xiao Worm grasped the time when Ah Mei recorded the album, stopped recording at 10 o'clock every night, and made a transoceanic phone call with her boyfriend, and the inspired Little Worm instantly wrote a love song "Intimate Lover", "Intimate Lover" also became Mei Jie's first Chinese song.
3. "It Seems that the old man came" 1991
If it were not for the withdrawal from the main awards ceremony of Hong Kong Music, Mui Yanfang's "Seems to be the Late Man Coming" may become a "regular visitor" to the Top Ten Golden Songs and Chinese Golden Melody Awards Ceremony.
The song "It seems that the old man is coming" is the "double insurance" work of Luo Dayou + Lin Xi, and it is also the classic Cantonese song with the most beautiful melody in Mei Yanfang's works, Luo Dayou's flowing melody, supplemented by Lin Xigong's filler words, "It seems that the old man is coming" is really too good to listen to.
2. "Woman Flower", 1997
Mei Yanfang's more than 20 years of singer career, in fact, there are only two real masterpieces, one of which is "Woman Flower", because this song is not only the most well-known Chinese song of Amei, but also the expression of the song is a portrayal of Mei Jie's lifelong emotions.
Andy Lau's royal group Chen Yaochuan + Li Anxiu, after Mei Jie jumped to the art of moving music and Liu Tianwang became the same door, fully cooperated, dedicated this "Woman Flower", so that Mei Jie's singer career continued to be brilliant.
"Love is too knowledgeable, drunk is strong, flowers blossom and thank you is ultimately empty." Fate does not stay, like the spring breeze comes and goes, women are like flowers and dreams. Sister Mei, this delicate "woman flower", withered away at the age of 40, which made people heart-wrenching!
1. "Sunset Song" 1989
When I was young, I always felt that "Woman Flower" was Mei Yanfang's best song, and "Song of the Sunset" was still not as good as "A Thousand And One Songs". When I went through the years and listened to "Song of the Sunset", the dispute between The Thousand Sunsets in that year made Hong Kong Music lose its "princess" and "daughter", although the sales of "Song of a Thousand And Thousand Que" were higher and more popular, but "Song of sunset" was actually not bad at all.
Some people say that Chen Shaoqi's "Song of the Sunset" is written about life, Lin Zhenqiang's "Song of a Thousand and One Passes" is parting, parting is a part of life, and the end of life is the biggest parting. "I have encountered a lot of wind and rain, weaving my intertwined dreams. I have met the bend of your sincere arm and accompanied me through the tribulations. The rush center is gray, the road is chaotic and twisty and turned, one day thinking, thinking of returning but it is too late. Chen Shaoqi's words, after a hundred changes in life, Mei Yanfang's parting, is so sudden and so determined.
When at the 10th anniversary concert of Mei Jie's death in 2013, the stars held red roses and sang "Sunset Song" in unison, you will feel that Mei Jie's favorite song seems to have its own providence.
"Hold the Person in Front of You", "Bright Moonlight in Front of the Bed", "Daughter Red", "Dream Companion", "Red Doubt", "Manju Shahua", "Flaming Red Lips", "Split the Iceberg", "Fanghua Absolute Generation"... Mei Yanfang's classics, there are too many, here are not many to list, please be familiar with Mei Jie's friends to add more, please praise and attention!
