◯ Life is a mistake without music ◯
TAOLU MUSIC
Dreams are the protagonists of life, some people come out of the truth of half a life and stubbornly resist for the dream; some people have gone with the flow, giving up their dreams and living in mediocrity.
Among them, Ah Yan belongs to the former.
A few days ago, Ah Yan released a new song "Coming from the World", and the girl of the ghost horse elf Ah Hao once again stepped on the waves.
She sang:
Occasionally feel lost
Nor will I show weakness
I'm my own hero of the stars and moons
There is only one true heroism in the world, and that is to love life after knowing the truth of life.
After ups and downs, Ah Yan is still the Ah Yan, whether it is the fried chicken girl who just became popular a few years ago, or the Ah Yan who is now a hero of the world. With a smooth and powerful voice, she sang freely and freely.
From "I eat fried chicken in people's square" to today's "Coming from the World". Once an ordinary little clerk, now a hero of the world.
The big dream of the little man, in this practice of life, Ah Yan, who has exhausted all his strength, is undoubtedly a real hero.
One second she was singing on stage, and the next moment she was in the middle of nowhere, just like Ah Yan a few years ago.
In 2011, Ah Yan had just graduated and worked in a foreign company. At that time, her time was occupied by work, and life slowly became bound and stressful.
In college, she often stayed alone in her dormitory, learning guitar and groping for her melodies.
But after work, she has less and less time, and she has begun to lack inspiration to write songs. In order to continue to create, after working in a foreign company for a year, Ah Yan found a public institution to work and began a nine-to-five life.
In the unit, she is an office worker "Xiao Wang", often called to go: Xiao Wang, you come to me to make a report form, Xiao Wang I want to take a leave, you open a leave note for me, Xiao Wang Let's do the next physical examination form...
In front of serious digital reports and piles of documents, the she became more and more cautious in her work.
But back home, in her own music, her nature is slowly released. In her work, she has become unrestrained and free-spirited.
That time was very hard, and for Ah Yan, it was also very confused. A few years later, when she became a real singer, she still remembered that experience:
It was a particularly overwhelming time because I was working and being an entertainer.
Equivalent to, I am Xiao Wang in the unit, after returning home, I will continue to create, read the fans' messages, Saturday and Sunday, transformed, and sing on stage.
But the confusion did not make her give up, she still insisted on music.
She is a small clerk in the company, and when she returned home, she immediately became a ghost horse creator, and she was a musician with a distinct personality on the stage.
Although the days were busy and hard, she felt very happy and fulfilled.
Later, she wrote "I Eat Fried Chicken in People's Square", which is known in the streets today. She has been writing songs since college, and she is truly well known.
Ah Yan is on fire on the Internet, but in the unit, she writes songs and sings in secret, and her colleagues do not know that the little employee next to her is the original author of the song.

One day, an entertainment news was playing "I was eating fried chicken in People's Square", she and her colleagues passed by, heard her own song and said to her colleagues: Hey, this song is quite funny!
But after saying it, he was a little weak-hearted, and the water in his hand was not steady, and he almost spilled out.
At that time, although her songs were already well known, people also knew her existence.
But how to go in the future, whether to choose her own music or continue to live an ordinary life, she has never had a clear answer in her heart.
After a long time of choice, in the end, she chose the music she loved. When she confessed her resignation to the leader.
The leader said in surprise: Ah, it was you! It's just that you can't sign me a name or something, my daughter often listens to your songs or something.
Later, when her colleagues and people around her slowly learned the news. But at that time, the "little king" around them had already moved towards their dreams.
Maybe at first she will be confused and wavering, but in the end she will follow her inner direction and chase her dreams.
After resigning, she chose to drift north despite the persuasion of her friends to feel a different creative atmosphere.
Living in Beijing, she almost stayed at home, living in a small apartment for several months, eating her own egg noodles every day.
At that time, although she wrote a lot of songs, she basically denied it herself. She felt "didn't feel right" and wasn't the music she wanted.
Luo Dayou once said:
The second record must be the hardest to make, and if the first record is successful, others will ask you to make the second one successful, and it will be better than the first.
The popularity of "I Eat Fried Chicken in People's Square" made many people notice this young girl. Too much attention, for her, is the motivation and even more of a pressure.
It took her several months to get herself out of the pressure and return to her creative state. She began to accept the good and bear the bad, and slowly used music to express her thoughts.
In 2012, after signing a contract with Modern Sky, she released a new song "Floating Light", which was strongly recommended by Li Jian, Lao Wolf, Yao Chen and others.
A year later, he wrote his own growth into the song and released a new album " Premeditated Encounter " . Because of the release of the album, she was the best folk singer and pop music producer at various music awards ceremonies.
The album's "Premeditated Encounter" and "When You Have a Girlfriend Don't Forget to Invite Me to Dinner" have been popular since they were issued, and have been loved by many people.
Among them, the song "get up" attracted the attention of director Cheng Liang, and was used as an ending song in the recent hit "Shanghai Women's Illustrated Book", and many of her songs were also played as interludes by the director.

In fact, in addition to Cheng Liang, Liu Huan also praised this girl. On the stage of "China Good Songs", she won the favor of Liu Huan with her original song "Don't Tell My Mother I Lost Love" and eventually joined his team.
And since she officially began to sing, whether it is a music festival performance or a concert, many people have come to cheer her up.
Along the way, slowly, more and more people like her, and the former small clerk has become a popular female singer.
Over the years, Ah Yan has been creating her own music, and her singing voice has spread farther and farther, and gradually become a voice that cannot be ignored in the music world.
Someone once asked her why she didn't sing other people's things, only the music she wrote.
She replied:
They carry my soul, they carry a part of my cells, they are transmitted to a corner that does not know where the end of the world is, and they are heard.
Then, it is the same fate that we say, maybe you accidentally put vinegar into soy sauce, that is the moment, that coincidence, with different moods, then everything is the arrangement of fate.
In the eyes of those who like her music, Ah Yan is a girl-like existence next door, free and independent, and the music is full of her own personality.
In 2016, Ah Yan began cross-border cooperation. First, "To you who is late to come" with Lin Youjia was included in "My Stupid Idealism".
▽ Ah Yan, Lin Yu jia
After the album was released, it won the Best Album Design Award for its exquisite production. The songs that the two of them collaborated on have aroused widespread resonance.
Later, she and her girlfriend Guo Caijie collaborated to sing "The Other Me in the World", and the energetic voices of the two ghost horse girls were matched with montage lyrics, full of youthful vitality.
From the original first girly album to the later more and more lifelike, her music melody is more and more diverse, the content is more and more rich.
Nowadays, she is no longer satisfied with simple music creation, and has begun to learn to paint, learn to make clothes, and go to the United States to study music. Exposed to different things, experiencing different experiences, she constantly improves her musical literacy.
Constantly exploring, constantly innovating, so her music is becoming more and more novel and more and more touching.
Perhaps because of this, more and more people are willing to know her and like her.
In the eyes of many people, Ah Yan is a talented creator with a steady stream of original music.
But in fact, no song is created casually. Just like in reviewing his own creative process, Ah Yan said:
No one is born to create, songs are not popped out of the cracks of the stone, everyone has to go through a period of youth, and then grope on this road, persevere.
She began writing songs in her freshman year, and whenever she had inspiration, she relied on a voice recorder and mobile phone to record them at any time. In the past few years, there have been several books dedicated to the lyrics.
At that time, when she was working in the unit, sometimes she might be filling out the form, and a melody suddenly appeared in her head, so she quickly pretended to go to the toilet and ran to the toilet to record the melody with her mobile phone.
Without accumulating steps, there is no way to go thousands of miles; without accumulating small streams, there is no way to become a river and a sea.
After more than ten years of accumulation, he changed from a small clerk of the unit to a well-known folk singer. For the sake of dreams, along the way, she has become the envy of us.
So in her new song, she sings:
Day and night tide
Never lose yourself
I am my own paddle my own boat with its own sails
Life is full of too many accidents and regrets, but as long as we are careful, we will always grasp what we want.
From the office Officiating to a musician, she has said in many interviews: The best experience after being known is that my slight light has also guided you.
Yes, faint flashes of light can be the direction of our progress. Ah Yan spent more than ten years to tell us: Nothing is impossible.
The most brilliant others in the coming day may be the most ordinary us yesterday!
Go and hold on to your dreams, hoping that each of us can be the heroes of our own lives.
