Recently, I saw Xu Ruyun's figure in the music variety show for a long time, and when she sang "One Man Show" again, the expression of feelings was still as delicate as ever, making people feel that she was still the one who sang the love song with deep feelings.
Some people say that there are only two female singers with ethereal female voices, one is Faye Wong and the other is Xu Ruyun.
People who have not heard Xu Ruyun's song will have regrets. Her unique "Yun-style" singing voice is unforgettable when you hear it.
Perhaps many people do not know how popular this strange and familiar name once was.
Back in 1996, Xu Ruyun met the song "One Man Show" in a recording studio in Taipei, and Xu Ruyun, who has a unique "Yun-style singing method", interpreted the emotions contained in this song very thoroughly, triggering a strong sense of resonance, and gradually becoming one of the must-have tracks for every affectionate person in KTV.
The song was written by Xu Changde and composed by Ji Zhongping, and was included on the album If the Clouds Knew, released on October 3, 1996.
Speaking of this album, I have to mention the previous good reputation of "Sea of Tears", but also because the song "Sea of Tears" made Xu Ruyun's singing career take off violently, it is said that the streets and alleys of Taiwan at that time can hear the playback of "Sea of Tears".
In order to continue the good reputation of "Sea of Tears", Ji Zhongping once again tailored "If the Clouds Knew" for Xu Ruyun.
It was also the launch of this album that made Xu Ruyun feel more stressed, and even couldn't help but cry on the street when she tried on clothes in Japan. The media headlined "The Back Wave of the Yangtze River Pushes the Front Wave" as the headline, and rumors discussed the rise of Xu Ruyun. The launch of the album "If the Cloud Knows" can be said to be a test that Xu Ruyun is facing.
In this album, the title song of the same name, "If the Cloud Knows", tells the faint sadness of girls in the process of love, and has a kind of love for lovers that they want to pour out, but they do not want the other party to perceive their inner waves; they can only pin their own thoughts and hope that the people they love can one day feel their emotions through telepathy.
The melody of this song is soothing and soft, although it shows a faint sadness, it seems to have a healing effect, and it has been covered many times in some music programs.
"One-Man Show" expresses to the audience that in this era of happy indulgence, Xu Ruyun is unhappy, at least her songs repeatedly express such a sadness, such a loneliness and gentleness to the audience.
At the same time, the song is also a description of the crush, in adolescence everyone will experience a crush, the crush is silent and sweet, you will cry because of him, because he laughs, and then when you are full of feeling that this love does not seem to have a result, you suddenly realize that it is just a "one-man show" of your own.
"Suddenly want to love you" is Xu Ruyun's very "ear-raising" small warm love song, just like the early spring weather, a little bit of warming, some love, even if it is low to the dust, low to the mud, can still blossom love flowers.
In addition, this album has a light "Persistence", a folk "Half Song", and a neurotic "You Hate"... The vivid sound performance makes this album richer and more flexible, and also shows Xu Ruyun's various possibilities in addition to ethereal.
It can be said that this album won a victory for Xu Ruyun's scenery, and the title of "Yun-style Singing Voice" was also shouted out during this period, and the efforts of this year made Xu Ruyun very beautiful in the major charts and award ceremonies at the end of the year.
This album is also a classic melody that accompanies many people in the student era, when they were in their teens, they were in adolescence, listening to Xu Ruyun's songs with a headset, and sitting thoughtfully on the bus on the way out of school, and there was really a unique mood.
Talking about his music career, Xu Ruyun once said:
Music, which is a part of my life, has become my job in this life. I feel blessed to be able to combine what I love with my work. Along the way, there have been some changes, some pauses, all in order to be able to treat their music better. I just enjoyed both the music career and the family life at my own pace.
She said that the mentality of being a singer is very important, and the profession of a singer is very similar to running a marathon, and it is necessary to grasp the transition and understand their pursuit in a certain stage.
She has not made news for a long time, compared with many singers now, Xu Ruyun's movements are too slow.
But it is precisely this kind of carelessness that allows her to maintain the state of the year so far, without excessive consumption of herself, and still in her heart when she opens her voice.
People who eat by the face are red and fast and urgent, but they often only stay in people's memories for a while.
For singers like Xu Ruyun, singing their songs quietly will never be eliminated.
The songs that people remember will not be forgotten.
Xu Ruyun
