Trailing together to the light boat floating
Reciprocal vows to celebrate spring dawn
The two hearts invite each other to look at each other
May the seagulls sing softly in a pleasant mood
Blind date with sister in the bright sun
Hope harmonious white head will never be divided
He is Xu Guanjie, the first generation of song gods, is the founding hero of Cantonese pop songs, Xu Guanjie has made a rare outstanding contribution to Cantonese songs, and even Cantonese to the world, and is a true legend that belongs to the golden age of Hong Kong's entertainment industry.
Xu Guanjie was young
Before Hui Guanjie and Asam, there were no Cantonese pop songs. In hong Kong in those turbulent years, most people like to listen to English songs and Chinese songs with Shanghainese atmosphere, and local Cantonese songs are difficult to climb the elegant hall, if you want to occupy a place in the song world with Cantonese songs, it is a fool's dream. Huang Xia once said: "There are only two people who can spread the local Language of China to the whole world through the way of quyi, one is Guan Hanqing during the Yuan Dynasty, and the other is xu Guanjie, the god of song." ”
Later, lyrics by the eldest brother Xu Guanwen, Xu Guanjie composed music and sang "Tower Over the Clouds" for the first time in a variety show. As soon as this song was launched, it caused a sensation throughout Hong Kong, and in the context of the times at that time, it aroused the attention of many Hong Kong people to their hometowns, so "Tower Over the Clouds" is known as a Hong Kong song. Under the influence of this song, Cantonese songs were re-examined, tearing off the label of "vulgar little songs" and opening the spring of Cantonese pop songs in the Hong Kong music scene.
But today's promotion is another song, which should also be regarded as the first generation of Chinese style songs, right? "Double Star Love Song".
The four brothers of the Hui family, sure enough, are all "high people", after having the name of Hong Kong songs, they launched this "Double Star Love Song", all of which were filled in by Xu Guanwen and composed by Hui Guanjie. It is also an interlude composed by "Wen Yingjie" in the movie "Ghost Horse Double Star" co-starring "Wen Wu Yingjie".
The song "Double Star Love Song" expresses the sweetness of love and the sadness of parting. The style is soft and sweet, nostalgic and sentimental. According to rumors, Xu Guanjie preferred Li Shangyin and Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty. In the word of this song, its sense of sadness can also be vaguely seen, from the bright moon breeze and lonely night, and its sadness is similar to that of predecessors. However, the sweet love in the words is also not lacking in the innocence and beauty of the ancient love poems.
Tears lingered in the shadows of candles
Moonlight alone shines on the cold duck pillow
Drunk and lonely, I can't help but feel sad
In the middle of the night, wept and cried empty tents with regret
The heart is inseparable from love
Parting sadness seems to have never been seen in this day
Tomorrow I will look back at the flowers
"Double Star Love Song" tells the pain of lovesickness and the lingering love. How many idiot lovers in the world, for love pain, for love obsessed. Lovers in love are full of affection, thousands of miles apart, looking at each other from afar. The two hearts invite each other to look at each other, and wish the seagulls to sing a pleasant mood. Hearts hold each other, miles block love and love. A touch of sadness, integrated into the lyrics.
As the title song of Xu Guanjie's first solo album, "Double Star Love Song" did not live up to people's expectations and won the opening as soon as it appeared. This funny song that blends the nature of his future ghost horse, there is no shortage of love songs like "Double Star Love Song" that exudes classical Chinese style. A few short lyrics are like classical poetry: "Tears dream deep in the shadow of candles, and the moon shines alone on the cold mandarin pillow", which is comparable to Qin Guan Liuyong's lingering mood at that time. It also laid the foundation for several genres of Xu's songs, and "Double Star Love Song" has deservedly become a classic among classics.
Later, it was also covered by many singers, including Jacky Cheung, Li Keqin, Guan Shuyi, Wang Jie, etc., of which Chen Baiqiang's cover singing, the degree of singing is wider, and many netizens say that Danny's version is more beautiful and more meaningful, but its significance has not reached Xu Guanjie's pioneering Cantonese creation.
Lam is also a fan
In the past two years, Principal Tan and Xu Guanjie have held concerts in the Red Pavilion together, singing classic golden songs and praising the poetry of "Double Star Love Song". At the beginning of the show, a clip recorded by Xu Guanwen was played, in which Xu Guanwen said that he only liked two singers in his life, one was Xu Guanjie and the other was Tan Yonglin. He also said that he had never seen the two sing together in his life, so he was so excited, and he appealed to the audience not to play on the phone all night, but to welcome them with a warm scream.
Nostalgic classics are classics, although they are old and timeless, they ripple in the inadvertent moment. But it still sings in our hearts.
