June 2024 is an ordinary Wednesday full of reflection and retrospection for Tairan.
Sitting calmly at home, looking out the window at the sunshine. His gaze penetrated the window lattice, as if he had traveled through the long river of time, and saw his youthful and energetic appearance.
My friends and I are all rock 'n' roll fanatics, and we shared our love for rock 'n' roll and formed a band on the campus of Sichuan University.
They gave the band an oriental name called "Asura", a reference to the critically acclaimed Japanese anime of the year.
They are young, passionate about music and yearning for the future.
At that time, I still feel the passion surging in my blood, and I still hear the shocking rhythm of the school band rehearsal. Every winter and summer vacation, they will choose to rent an empty room that is rarely visited, and rehearse day and night with high intensity.
"We played music at that time and really had a great time!" Said calmly with emotion.
The rise of the Asura Band is astonishingly fast. Just seven years after their formation, they were honored to participate in the Tokyo Asian Music Festival, becoming the only Chinese band to attend the festival.
The front of the stage was crowded with enthusiastic audiences, who sweated and cheered; On stage, the members of the Asura Band are full of passion and passion.
I vividly remember that after each performance, hundreds of young fans surrounded them and asked for a photo autograph. At that time, they seemed to be the brightest stars in the crowd.
Today's Tairan, who has gone through more than half a century of life, looks at himself alone with a complacent mentality. He found that although music was no longer the whole of his life, it was always a safe haven in his heart.
The years change, the world is impermanent, the beautiful moment is fleeting, only music, like a seed buried deep in the heart, is still quietly taking root and germinating under the moisturization of ordinary life.
No matter how chaotic the world is, as long as one person is immersed in music, it can calm and soothe the impetuous mind.
Back in 2016, that year was an important turning point in Tairan's life. That year, he released his solo album "Nicetomeetyou", which should have been a proud event, but on the day the single was released, he received the sad news of his grandmother's death.
It all came so suddenly, as if I could still recall the phone ringing and suddenly ringing without warning. Picking up the phone, his mother's choked voice made his heart tighten: "You come back quickly, grandma's condition is not very good."
He immediately stopped what he was doing and drove back to his hometown in embarrassment.
On the roadway, his mind became more and more chaotic, and he could not concentrate. His grandmother is a relative who has been by his side since he was a child, and she is the most senior master of Chinese painting in the family, and she has been learning painting skills with her since she was a child.
Her death will undoubtedly be a huge blow to Tairan.
After returning home, calmly and eagerly pushed open the door of the hospital room, and saw the relatives and friends guarding the bedside looking back one after another, with sad faces. My father choked up and said, "Grandma just died, less than 30 seconds.
At this moment, he felt the fragility and ruthlessness of life crush him like thunder, his vision blurred, and his eyes moistened uncontrollably. The news of his grandmother's death shook his heart like a lightning strike, and he lost his beloved love and his grief beyond words.
The following year, Tairan wrote a touching song "Yongning" for his grandmother, and during the singing process, he felt as if the song was not composed by himself, but as if it had been downloaded from the cloud in the depths of his memory.
He said so calmly. The whole piece is filled with endless thoughts and condolences for my grandmother.
This nightmarish experience made Tairan deeply aware of the fragility and impermanence of life, and he realized that time is fleeting and time is like an arrow. Since then, his understanding and pursuit of music creation has changed dramatically.
In the past, he always pursued flowery rhetoric and rhyme, but now he pays more attention to expressing his innermost emotions with simple words. Music is not just a carnival, but a way to express feelings and tell the story of life.
For example, in 2017, when he went to Bangkok, Thailand to watch a concert of guns and roses, he found himself in the midst of a carnival crowd but suffering from a myocarditis attack, which made him realize how important health is as a musician and father.
He is no longer the energetic and hopeful teenager he once was, there are still too many dreams buried in his life waiting for him to realize, and too many creations have not been put on paper.
Since then, he has no longer spent as much time on grueling rehearsals as he used to, but has cherished his time alone and seized every opportunity that allowed him to meditate and work deeply.
Music has become a part of Tairan's life, a tool for him to express his heart and record his life.
The wheel of time turned back again in the autumn of 2005, back to the second edition of the Tokyo Asian Music Festival. This world-renowned event opens in the bustling city of Tokyo, Japan.
Asura, a new generation of Chinese band, competed with 11 top bands from South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and other countries and regions on this highly regarded stage, presenting a double feast for the eyes and ears.
The members of the band are all resolute and handsome on the stage, exuding a unique charm. The music fans in the audience were all deeply attracted by this "Chinese rock force", and devoted themselves to the carnival of music, sweating like rain.
Seven years ago, the members of the Asura Band were enthusiastic college students. Their story originated from an orientation party at Sichuan University.
At that time, Tairan and his friends sang in the wind on campus, made a splash in Chengdu's famous tavern, and won the precious opportunity to sing for the rock predecessor Cui Jian.
In the same year that Asura participated in the Tokyo Asian Music Festival, they also released their debut album "Wake Up the Sleeping You", with this album, this emerging young music force has made its mark in the national independent music scene, attracting the attention of many record companies, and thus becoming the first Chengdu underground rock band to successfully sign with a record company.
At the same time, mobile brand Dynamic Zone chose the band Asura to create their promotional tracks. As a result, the three songs "Dynamic Zone", "My Territory Listen to Me" and "Follow Me" were born, and quickly spread among the young people at that time, becoming popular songs on MP3 players.
In just one year, the Asura Band held 20 college tours across the country. Tickets for each show were sold out within 10 minutes.
What's even more surprising is that after each performance, hundreds of fanatical young people are waiting outside, who are hungry and cried around the band, scrambling to ask for a photo autograph.
At that time, the Asura band had gradually found its own style, and unlike other indie bands who tried to show a thick "rock rage", the Asura band admitted in an interview with the media: "We don't really care too much about whether what we are engaged in is rock music, as long as we really love it, feel it is pleasing to the ear, and can bring us happiness."
As they sang in the song "Forever Happy": "Forever and forever happy, you don't have to weave lies to yourself anymore, open the window in the depths of your heart, and let the warm sunshine shine in it."
A few years later, Zhang Huimei, the queen of Chinese music, covered the song of the Asura Band in her album, which made their popularity widely spread again.
The band's sunny, positive and optimistic atmosphere captivates people in a form of emotional expression that is not often found in traditional Chinese rock music.
The Asura Band uniquely captures the inner desires of young people and interprets "rock" in their unique way, so they have won the love and following of music fans.
In 2021, the band Asura finally set sail again, and in order to present their third album to fans, the veteran members have reunited and reunited in the past three years.
Time flies.
As the first track, Tairan chose the very unique "Born to Be Human" as the theme song. The lyrics of this song are full of deep meaning, which makes people involuntarily reflect and sigh about themselves and the world.
The music video features awe-inspiring images of volcanic eruptions, forest fires, mountains of garbage, beaches strewn with plastic bottles, factories emitting industrial exhaust fumes, and more that are relevant to the environmental issues facing the world today.
Unfortunately, this meaningful album did not resonate well with fans. When calmly talking to some young people around him about the album, they bluntly said that they "couldn't understand" the mood and theme in it.
In the face of such an evaluation, although Tairan felt a little helpless, he didn't pay too much attention to it and was excited, but responded calmly: "At this age, what you have gained is earned, and what you have not obtained will naturally appear."
The three albums of the Asura Band, this "Asura Band Trilogy", well reflects the different emphases of the band in different periods. The debut album "Wake Up the Sleeping You" is full of confidence and rebellion peculiar to young people; The second album, "Asura II", embodies a chaotic exploration of musical form and content expression; By the third one, the theme has shifted to reflection and criticism of the self and the world.
However, the only thing that has been consistent is the perseverance of one person. He is not only a witness to the transformation and growth of the band at every stage, but also a witness to it. From the "Asura" band where the band originated to today's "Tairan Asura", Tairan has always been the core strength and soul of this group.
In the beginning, in 1998, he made his mark with like-minded friends at the famous "tavern" livehouse in Chengdu, and won the appreciation of Cui Jian, a senior in the music scene, and was invited to perform as his guest.
At that time, the young people were so enthusiastic that they decided to form a band that they named "Nakshatra". Although they didn't know anything about music, their inner passion and courage became the driving force behind them.
Soon after, the band changed their name to "Asura" and embarked on the path of rock 'n' roll.
Time flies, time flies. The Asura Band has been going through almost twenty-five years. From the very beginning, they have gone step by step to become world-famous. They started in their youth and grew all the way to high-profile musical pioneers.
The only one who has been steadfast throughout the whole process is calmly himself, who has personally experienced every change in the band, as well as the ups and downs of each stage.
Time flies, the wheels move forward, abandon the oath, and bid farewell to youth. Time is like an arrow, and it has been ten years in a blink of an eye. You and I have long since gone our separate ways, only the wheels are still speeding forward.
This is a lyric from Tairan's latest album by the band Asura, and it is also an affectionate interpretation of his true depiction of the state of life.
Time flies, ups and downs, and Tairan has no longer complained and nostalgic about the flow of time and the cycle of life. He spent the first half of his life mainly in music, but now music is no longer the whole of his life.
In his youth, music was probably all he pursued; Today's Tairan regards music as a part of life, a bridge and language to express one's heart and communicate.
Sometimes, the music needs to be sung high-pitched and exciting, and sometimes, it needs to be quietly sung and sung with the heart. I very much agree with one of Li Zongsheng's lyrics: "Accumulation is only because I want to compose a song, sing it lightly, remember it indifferently, even if I forget it in the end, I have no regrets."
He uses music to tell his inner story, and although no one understands it, he is also immersed in the process.
Outside of music, there are exciting and diverse trends in today's calm life, including art, animation, travel, and happy times with family.
Tairan believes that music is only an important part of life, and many young people who love music often use sharp language to describe music as the source of their life. Although this expression is full of passion, it still seems too exaggerated in Tairan's eyes.
Just like the elderly dancing in the square, there is no difference between music and life.
Looking back, Tairan's identity has undergone numerous changes. From his college days, he was a highly respected art teacher. A student once commented on him: "Mr. Tairan is rigorous in his studies, and his homework assignments are large and heavy.
In order to look more like a teacher, he will choose to dress modestly, put on a haughty and cold posture, and keep a certain distance from his students.
On the music stage, the young Tairan was a rebellious rock youth, his face was resolute, his long hair was covered with his face, he wore a motorcycle jacket, and pursued musical ideals like a savage growth.
Today, he has transformed into an elegant and knowledgeable musician, who continues to write with peace of mind and integrate music into his life.
Despite the fact that the latest album of the band Asura was not understood by young people, this did not hit Calm. Calmly face all of this with an open-minded mindset and strive to convey the power and meaning of music.
In his calm life, music has always been his strengthening, and the wild and uninhibited youth made his heart never stop, and now he is stable and sophisticated, and it is still so.
