There is a splendid refreshment
Rush to the face of youth
Walk the streets you walk
There are qiong flowers blooming in the corners of the eyes
Mottled canopy and green bricks
Speaking of appropriateness or wandering
The pagoda overlooks the fireworks
Who else is thinking about it all night
In your bokeh background
I was the youngest of the lights
Press a knowing password
Surround your heart into a beautiful picture frame
Pick up a cup of sweet and bitter tea
Savor the past and the future
Let go of all unwillingness and longing
Enjoy every gaze you give me
Pick up the guitar and walk next to you
Beneath your feet is an endless distance
Play this ballad for you
Would you like to whisper the night with me?
Light up the city slowly

Pour out the admiration of a city and write a confession of the city
"This is not only a song for Foshan, but also a song for every city that chases the light." Luo Bing, a well-known lyricist in China, expressed poetically, echoed the cityscape and inner emotions, and wrote the most touching sentence of the whole song: "In your blurred background, I am the youngest beam of light." ”
The charm of a city lies in how many young people's dreams it can carry. In different corners of the city, because of different hearts, everyone has their own dream light and struggles, the city accompanies them through the long years, but also becomes full of vitality because of them.
There are many similar expressions in the whole song, using repetitive techniques to lay out emotions layer by layer, and finally released in the warmth and warmth of "lighting up the city", just like a "musical love letter", from the perspective of the city's "light chaser", the deep attachment and love for the city will be integrated into one word and one sentence.
Integrate Lingnan music and sing the charm of the city
In the expression of musical melody, the melodious melody evokes infinite memories, and the beating notes measure the streets and alleys of the city, making people feel the simplicity and delicacy and the vitality of the times.
Lu Zhongqiang, founder of the "Folk Song on the Road" brand, extracted creative elements from Foshan culture, used cross-border integration to carry out a newer and more international expression, and used music to highlight the characteristics of the city and spread the image of the city.

"To Your Ballad", an original folk song to Foshan, the prelude to the folk guitar, first tells you the story of a city, and then integrates Gao Hu, Erhu, Xiao and other Lingnan characteristic instruments, showing the Cantonese music "Caiyun Chasing the Moon" quoted in the interlude, which is both unexpected and reasonable, as if to tell the life of the young people in Foshan at present: open, inclusive, modern, but also respect and recourse to tradition.
Lu Zhongqiang said that Foshan is a city with a very story and profound cultural heritage, and hopes that more young people can feel and appreciate the charm of Foshan from the perspective of art.

Foshan Radio singer-songwriter Zou Yinyin Qingdao
Zou Yinyin is like a storyteller, taking you back to your hometown with emotional songs, holding up a cup of sweet herbal tea, and recalling the years of growing up with Foshan.
"When you hear a song, you think of a man, of a city. For me, "Ballad to You" is a piece of urban melody written to and sung to Foshan by a native of Foshan. Thank you to everyone who has struggled in Foshan and is struggling, it is you who have lit up the city. ”
On the evening of October 24, the final of the 2021 City Folk Song Contest and the night of the Sanlongwan Music Festival, listen to a "Ballad for You" together, and slowly light up the city in the notes.
