I met Xie Chunhua in NetEase Cloud Music in 2016. At that time, in Ding Lei's personal feelings, this platform gathered a group of people looking for musical feelings and became a harbor for folk songs. The singers sang here, and the people who listened to the music left their own sighs and stories in the comments.
Then there were 17 years, NetEase Cloud Music printed the moving comments in it all over the subway train. I remember that at that time, I shared the article "NetEase Cloud Music printed 5,000 comments on the subway and let commuters see the tears blurred" in the circle of friends, and wrote that "music is like aging, and it is the most emotional under the slight drunkenness!" ”
It was also at that time that I listened to her "Borrow Me", "I Still Want to Hear Your Story", "Desert Island", "I Will Definitely Fall in Love with You", "Can't Sing a Happy Song", the lyrics were full of affection and optimism, but the chant was light and breezy.
It turned out that she came from a family full of ink and medicinal incense and grew up on a beautiful campus. A 20-year-old girl who likes poetry, composes the poems and sings them to everyone, which is the origin of her first album. She said: "Writing a song is like painting or writing a diary, there is no way to tell you this feeling face to face, so I describe it in a musical way, I think it is more like a record, or a story." 」 ”
She won many awards later, but still rarely saw her, but every year she had a new album. As poetically gentle, gentle, melodious and calm as ever, but always as promised.
Until this year, she went to "The Voice of Heaven", and the opening statement was "I came to run", confident, cute and playful. Then with a "rice cook is Xie Chunhua" Of the Hidden Head poem circle countless fans. I think it is not because the poem is written so well, but because this girl is impressed by the small challenges given by the seniors in the industry and shows a sense of humor under pressure. This is the arrogance and optimism that emerge from the ink fragrance of poetry books.
The test questions given by the tutors on the spot were to use the keywords "hum, prince, god, and cooker" to compose a song on the spot for 15 minutes. She ended up writing playful hidden-headed poems as lyrics:
"I don't want to do anything,
Rice is not fragrant,
Once a person falls into a fantasy,
It's going to become very weak.
It is a god-given imagination,
Thank you for the prince's appreciation,
Stupid (spring) words are getting louder and louder,
The humming of the (flower) establishment is unknown. ”
Later, she chose Teacher Haiquan in the program, and said a passage: "I was especially fond of poetry before I knew Teacher Haiquan, and then I also wrote poetry myself." My first album was written because I like poetry, so I had a lot of questions I wanted to ask Mr. Kaizumi. This passage of "poetry friends" finally touched Teacher Haiquan and made her road to appearance more complete.
Her collaboration with Ms. Haiquan is "Send You a Little Red Flower", which is also very suitable for their original intention of cooperating with literature as the keynote. This song is an encouragement to all those who have suffered in ordinary life and are still moving forward.
I don't know if this folk singer-songwriter girl will have more light after the show is over, or if she will slowly return to her original appearance, but I know that her "journey to show up" is very complete and romantic. She let us see a richer and more interesting Xie Chunhua.
During the banquet, Ah Zhe said: "Taiwan's campus folk songs are also promoted by a group of high intellectuals, for example, Luo Dayou is a medical student, like Qi Yu is also a high-achieving student at National Taiwan University, she studied archaeology, so in fact, these universities have professional knowledge of senior intellectuals to promote folk music genres." I think no matter what type of music you do, I think you need to seek a possibility of collaboration like this to enrich your folk life. This is what we are looking forward to. ”
In my mind, a ballad is a poem, a letter, a diary, a story, or a mood, an emotion, a promise and a sigh, a simple instrument playing a simple melody.
Because we don't need strong expression all the time, we often only need to share in a low chant. Just like the spring breeze to the spring flower, our most beautiful affection is through the fragrance of life, through the impermanence, to see you by your side.
