Jack Johnson in the brine shop?
Have you seen Problem Restaurant? I loved it. This is a work written by the Japanese drama "King of Golden Sentences" Yuji Sakamoto, which was recently remade in China, and I heard that the response was good, and the soundtrack of this drama was produced by Liang Xiaoxue. I think of the first time I heard Snow's "I'll Be There" in 2012, on an afternoon when the project was finished, the sun was shining, and I was resting on a bench by the pond, feeling that his voice made it all better, and it was the kind of relaxing and addictive magic. Today's recommended song "I wish you come before I am getting old" is a vague expectation and a soft call. Tonight, let's follow Anze's words and go up close to see Liang Xiaoxue, who is pure as a child.

Remember those dreams?
How could I forget.
"(Just debuted) At that moment, very stupid... Is to give it a web page to play, put a new one (song), brush! That refresh, there's that online refresh key just look. Oops, 300 (click-through rate), I leaned on 400, and finally 4000. That's it. ”
In an interview with "Live After Music" two years ago, Mr. Xue described it as a simple sense of well-being, a pure and simple sense of happiness brought about when an unknown little ghost who played music suddenly began to receive attention.
A child who grew up in Beijing's Nancheng Hutong, a Beijing grandfather who usually wears a vest and holds a guitar, sees the interviewer at his door before "shyly" changing into a dark T.
Liang Xiaoxue, who once hid the truth from his family and studied in Canada for 3 years for a musical dream, may be just a stupid prodigal son who does not do business in the eyes of others. But he didn't care about humility, and all these years he only walked slowly for the original intention of the self, for the freedom of the ideal world.
"I came back in the middle of 2003 (studying abroad), and then after I came back, my dad always thought I was studying hotel management, and then I really entrusted someone to enter the hotel, and then I quit after a week, sneaky." At that time, give me a share of what it is, what is concierge, luggage department, let me be a bellboy "hotel attendant". At that time, I didn't feel anything, and I felt that lao tzu had come back from studying for so many years, and you let me do this, and I would have that feeling. ”
He made a categorical choice and resolutely gave up. After returning to China, he willingly became the behind-the-scenes of many well-known singers, and in 2008, he emerged as a leader in the folk music industry and opened his own independent music creation road.
Like you, he has also struggled between family choices and self-dreams, confused and confused, but today, persistence and no regrets have achieved the self that is not with the world, even if it is scarred, but still shines.
He is Liang Xiaoxue, he is himself.
2、
I can always write songs,
As long as you give me wine and freedom.
The first time I saw the name Liang Xiaoxue was when she was still studying, her roommate and classmate and confidant and close friend in college handed me an apple headset before a class that had not yet started in the early morning, in fact, I was "delirious" that day, but Xuezong's few warm and vague English words were still "unknown" into the left ear, and the memory is still fresh.
Now open NetEase, the first song from Liang Xiaoxue's song list is still the song "Jimi and Lucy".
“ Wisdom of life / looking over sky / they looking for their happiness life /
But fact is black / it driving they to mad / they still believe in jesus bring it back ”
("With the wisdom of life / See the world / They are looking for a happy life that belongs to two people /
But this damn reality / is driving them crazy / but they firmly believe that "Jesus will come back to us")
The critical blows and blows of reality cannot make us give up those small hopes in our hearts.
Seven years ago, Mr. Xue officially released his first independent music album, Floral Times / Fancy Years, 10 original English songs, 1 instrument solo, officially opened the curtain on his musical dream.
I heard that the bird that burns the undead is the phoenix that bathes in fire.
"Jimi and Lucy" is included in Liang Xiaoxue's debut solo album Floral times
Influenced by the Canadian study tour, Xue Zong's works are mostly Based on English songs, and his contact with Western folk songs makes his melodies more of an intriguing independent music style that is different from Chinese popular folk songs.
Last year I described Liang Xiaoxue's musical style in an article introducing niche folk musicians, I called his style "Xiaomei Folk Song", someone asked me what is "Xiaomei", as the name suggests, it seems to be beautiful and not beautiful, there are American country colors in it, but it is not all in line with the characteristics of the genre of Meixiang music. Canada is a neighboring Country in the United States, the rise and development of Jazz in the United States is well known, and the Canadian genre music is naturally mixed with jazz flavors. Snow's music carries such an atmosphere, the guitar chords are mixed with the taste of jazz, and the laziness makes people have a shuffle-like swaying feeling of dragging their feet and twisting their butts.
Addictive music smell.
This is a man who loves wine, this is a man who has no wine and no joy.
"I don't like being slightly drunk."
"What do you like?"
"Drunk! (Laughs.) Anyway, drink a little, slightly drunk, such as playing the piano, playing games, and then a little drunk chat. ”
He wants wine, he wants to have friends, he has to have a simple life that liberates and liberates nature. His music comes from every bottle and every sip of wine, and his life comes from a wild bunch of people and outliers who can play at all costs.
"Then you say you're particularly red, and then you... You drive a Rouse every day, and then you don't have anyone to pick up, no one to send, you don't have friends, what do you mean, no meaning. It's really not, it's really boring. I think it's better to live this ordinary life. ”
The song "My old friends" was written by Xue Zong to fa xiao who chased dreams with himself.
The two of them used to be crammed into a cabin of more than ten square meters, often busy until dawn for editing and soundtrack design, and they had the dream of "walking on the red carpet of the film festival together" and worked hard at all costs. There have also been times when I felt that I could not carry the days, and I also had years of suffering and sharing, but the smoke in my hand did not stop when Xue always talked about this past, because the teenager who was once full of spirit for his dreams has now fallen into the reality of marriage, less aura and ease.
When asked, "Does he know you wrote this song," Liang Xiaoxue said expressionlessly, "He doesn't need to know." ”
Possibly, once had, it was enough. There will be too many people in our lives, maybe there is no need to force, do not have to hold hard, once you have those passions burning fire through the whole life of the moment, those minutes and seconds, is eternal.
3、
He's a minority,
Only responsible for their own sincerity.
Some people say that Liang Xiaoxue's music is not popular with the public, and some people say that it is not easier than those popular pop singers but they can't make money, perhaps in this world, if money is used as a standard to measure the spirit, it will be an insult to the entire spiritual world. He is the minority, the small public, who receives responses and affirmations from souls of the same spiritual world, better than the "so-called" whole world.
Artists retain the most sincere heart of a child.
But all music that is done well is done by the body and soul that have been released. And Xue always wears a T-shirt without any logo or pattern in front of the camera, compared to the V-shape, like a careless child, the smile hides the smell of leprosy, but it is clean and dazzling.
Liang Xiaoxue in 12 years won the "12th Music Chart" Best Folk Album, Best Folk Singer and Best Folk Song Awards with "I'll Be There", which is still the main English title, and the Chinese songs that everyone in the domestic market desires are still pitiful.
The album cover was shot right in his home, and this spooky and sunny "big boy" sat on the carpet wearing the simplest white T, mischievously squinting one eye at the camera. He said bluntly in an interview, "People can't look good, and their albums can only be on their own." ”
“ I'll be there just in your mind ／ Oh yeah you will know ／
I’ll be here just in your eyes ／ Oh yeah you will see ／
I’ll be there just in your heart ／ Oh yeah you will know /
I'll be here just in your eyes ／ Oh yeah you will know. ”
("I'll be there / Blend into your soul / You'll touch /
I'll be there / In your eyes / You'll see /
I'll be there / In your heart / You talk about feeling /
I'll be there / in your eyes / you'll see. ”）
You know purity, but it's not simple.
My friend once said that he should go back and practice his spoken language and sing English songs again, and some people said that the lyrics were mixed with The unseriousness of Chinglish, but so what?
The presence of him and his music proves the searing appeal in his songs and melodies.
Our after-tea chatter may not matter at all in Liang Xiaoxue's eyes. I think that even in the face of gossip or gossip, he will be free and fearless to live his life, write his own songs, one way or another, how will it be? He would only raise his head slightly, responding to a snarky but sunny and mature laugh, without a word.
4、
Years later,
It is still the prodigal son of the world.
"Now it's a brave time" is one of my favorite songs, included in the album "The Problem That Time Can't Solve", the "Song of Little Three" in Xue Zong's mouth.
Xue always said that this is a true story that happened to himself, "A lot of times I think, ah, this person is very good to me, that's it, knotted, right?" But then I didn't expect to meet another one in a few days, and I liked her so much, I liked her so much, and I especially wanted to be with her. ”
Maybe when you are immature, when you have a person, you can't stop falling in love with another person. The so-called "emotional derailment" that belongs to the social moral constraints is not mentioned in the face of deep communication from the soul world. There is no betrayal, right or wrong. Can be written into the song, but also frank.
Maybe he's been a stupid prodigal son all his life, a disgusting prodigal son, and he says it doesn't matter, it could be like that.
In order to make his girlfriend's family feel that he was a so-called reliable man with a "formal career", he opened a brine shop in a Beijing hutong and became a small boss, but in less than a year he "closed the door". Maybe it's the end of a relationship, or maybe he's always the man who doesn't want to give up his dreams for reality.
Thirty and standing, for him, this man has less of a sharp and sharp spirit, more of a stable and gentle weight, perhaps in a few years, the news about him in the entertainment circle will become scattered, but the group of people attracted to this man will still believe unconditionally that he is still the little child who belongs to music, still the prodigal son who can run towards love and hate at all costs for his dreams, the prodigal son who is always young and never old.
I don't think I'm the person I used to be, but I'm not getting bad, just more calm, but you know, the truth is always unlovable. So gradually, there were fewer words, and I wrote these into the music. As long as you are listening, I will write and sing, you are on the road, then we will go forward together, after reaching the end, don't forget to say well, I think this is enough. ”
