Li Zongsheng's 13 songs have written his entire life

Inscription: I heard that everyone has a Song li Zongsheng in their lives. Many people like Li Zongsheng very much, saying that people with stories have more feelings when listening to his songs, one by one, penetrating the whole life.

《Understanding》

Understanding Xin Xiaoqi - I Am Singer Season 1 Issue 7

"Comprehension" is a work that Li Zongsheng spent two years writing to Xin Xiaoqi, when Xin Xiaoqi and her boyfriend who had been in love for eleven years married and broke up, and was encountering the most difficult period in her life, during the MV shooting, Xin Xiaoqi even couldn't help herself, singing and crying.

Initially, Li Zongsheng once said to Xin Xiaoqi, "Sorry, this song may not be popular." Xin Xiaoqi hummed the score and said, "It doesn't matter, I can sing well." However, this song has been sung for more than 20 years without care, and even sung to this day, extending to a classic, but it is the "resonance" that coincides between the creator and the interpreter.

When Li Zongsheng and Zhu Weiyin's first marriage came to an end, this emotional work recorded the true feelings of the eldest brother at that time. The phrase "If our love is wrong, may you and I not suffer in vain" appeared not only between the prefaces of Li Zongsheng's new book for Zhu Weiyin, but also in his divorce statement with Lin Yilian.

On November 16, 2013, "Since Youth Can't Stay" Beijing Station, Li Zongsheng even sang and cried when he performed "Understanding".

The Genie of Life

At the San Francisco station "Since Youth Can't Stay", Li Zongsheng shared the plot behind "The Genie in Life": "Twenty-nine years ago, in Mountain View City in the San Francisco Bay Area, I fell in love with a girl, of course, there was no drama, and when I left, I produced this song "The Genie in Life". Unexpectedly, twenty-nine years later, I returned to the place of origin to perform this song. ”

At that time, Li Zongsheng was twenty-seven years old, and the eldest brother at that time was still Xiao Li, and this sentimental young man flew home from San Francisco to Tokyo Narita, cried all the way, and "wrote an album for the girl's one look."

"Across the Ocean to See You"

Cross the ocean to see you Li Meixi; Xiao Jingteng; Tao Zhe; Sun Nan - The Most Beautiful Harmony Season 2 Episode 2

The plot behind the scenes of "Across the Ocean to See You" is a well-known part of Li Zongsheng's large-scale creation. The story is based on the emotional experience of the singer Doll (Kim Ji-juan) who fell in love with the poet Ah Qiu when she was young. She worked for half a year, and her savings were exchanged for a ticket to the north, but in the end she failed to prevent the end of the relationship.

"A girl traveled across the ocean to Beijing to see her boyfriend, but her knowledge of Beijing has always been limited to her boyfriend's residence, and as soon as I heard it, I decided to write a song for this story."

In this way, Li Zongsheng suddenly appeared in the beef noodle shop near Rolling Stone Records and completed this classic that has been sung for many years on tray paper. It is worth mentioning that in order to alleviate the shortage of production funds for dolls at that time, Li Zongsheng also sold his Mercedes-Benz, which also achieved this big-selling "Heavy Rain".

People who have never been in love in a long distance can't understand this song.

The Price of Love

The Price of Love Liang Yongqi - Love Liang Yongqi the most

"Every music producer has to love his singers and make their future his own, and only in this way can he do good music." It is this delicate relationship that makes Li Zongsheng have a scandal and a good song.

In the 2006 Taipei Arena, Li Zongsheng World Tour Concert, Zhang Aijia's sentence "Have you ever loved me" once set off waves, Li Zongsheng said on the spot, laughing afterwards, "Because when recording "The Price of Love", you were already married, this album is Written by me thinking of you, thinking about why you married someone else? ”

Although this is all a joke, when Singing this song "The Price of Love" many years later, the eldest brother is still choking up like "Xiao Li" at that time.

"Song to Myself"

As soon as the eldest brother struck, he knew if there was any. Li Zongsheng stopped writing for many years, and this new work "Song to Myself" at that time, the first song occurred on the day of the Longitudinal Line Tour Taipei Station. This song caused a sensation in an instant, and won three awards at the 22nd Taiwan Golden Melody Awards for Best Lyricist, Best Composition and Best Song.

In April 2010, the song was included in the "Southbound Line" that echoed the EP "Northbound Train" (released on September 7, 2009).

It is worth mentioning that the manuscript of "Song to Yourself" was once exhibited in the "Golden Melody Music Festival", a white paper of the Oriental International Conference Hotel of Guangzhou Baiyun International Convention Center, densely packed with words arranged in an orderly manner, this precious material reflects the trajectory of the big brother's creative process from another side.

"Dear landy, my brother, you rarely win over others, but this time you surpass yourself." This landy, whom Li Zongsheng called his younger brother, was None other than Zhang Peiren.

From the early years of the acoustic guitar choir to the Rolling Stones, from the Magic Rock Culture to the Simple Life Music Festival, Li Zongsheng and Zhang Peiren have been with him all the way and are regarded as a good brother template for the Chinese music scene "idealism first".

At the "Concert of Rational and Sensual Works", Li Zongsheng also dedicated this song to all the Rolling Stone colleagues who "created a wonderful era and paid for their youth" with him.

"I Really Love You"

The long-sung "When Love Has Become a Thing of the Past" in the movie "Farewell to the Overlord" is the first cooperation between Li Zongsheng and Lin Yilian, but the two are recorded separately and have never met. "Don't Care Who I Am" is Li Zongsheng's first time to help Lin Yilian create, and "I Really Love You" is Li Zongsheng's first song written to Lin Yilian.

"Some of the stories in my songs are my own, some are someone else's, and sometimes in order not to let others know, I find a very powerful singer to sing my songs." 」 "I Really Love You" was originally included on Zhang Xinzhe's 1993 album "Heart Matter".

"Ghost Obsession"

Ghost Fan Trick Li Zongsheng - 2015 Jiangsu Satellite TV New Year Concert

"Ghost Obsession" is when Li Zongsheng took a plane and saw the beautiful stewardess feel it.

"I remember once on a plane, there was a flight attendant who came to serve everyone, very beautiful, good figure, I think I also have a little good feelings for me." Flying is boring, and I was thinking, what would happen if she fell in love with me... It's just a romantic imagination, so there's 'Is it too early to say break up now?' This lyric, because I'm going to get off the plane." ”

This "brain-opening" work is not only the theme song of the TV series "The Last Emperor Sun" starring Zhou Haimei, but also a classic that cannot be ignored in many works of Li Zongsheng in the future.

"Loneliness"

Lonely liu minghui - China's strongest voice No. 6

"Lonely and Unbearable", also included in "The Spirit of Life", is a representative work of Li Zongsheng in the early days. At that time, the 27-year-old boy used an almost monologue-style chant to express the fragile emotions that most people were ashamed to face, and this singing style became Li Zongsheng's unique signature in the future.

He once joked to himself, "Take it easy, use the talk, it's better than singing." I gave up the serious eight hundred to work on the melody, half talk and half sing, and the final effect was not bad. ”

Interestingly, the phrase "day after day, thirty years old is coming, how to explain yourself in the days to come" was improvised at the "Rational and Emotional Concert" into a vicissitudes version of "day after day, forty years old passed, the days to come no longer account to anyone", that year, Li Zongsheng was 51 years old.

The Hill

Hill Li Zongsheng - 2015 Jiangsu Satellite TV New Year Concert

The melody of "The Hill" was born ten years ago. In the summer of 2003, Li Zongsheng, who was in Shanghai, was shrouded in the sad environment of SARS. It wasn't until the spring and summer of 2013 that the lyrics of "The Hill" finally took shape. This song provides an outlet for old men who are shouldering burdens and are not good at expressing emotions, and who are "the same age" as Li Zongsheng:

"This song is an exchange of ten years of my life experience. It is to review my own music road, but also hope that through the lyrics to convey the mood, hook up with the same life over the hills of the same age resonance, and finally I also want to use the identity of 'people over' to tell young friends that they should be content with life and cherish the present. ”

"The Long Journey"

Far Luggage Hui Zhen - Looking for Lee Wai Jin

Putting aside the aura of a musician, Li Zongsheng is also the father of three daughters (Li Chun'er, Li An'er, Li Xi'er). Like Wang Shuo's "Letter to His Daughter", the two works of "Long Journey" and "Hope" are his private goods written to his daughter as a father, and we can read his sincere confessions to the children between the lines.

In particular, the idea of Lee Guitars, a Chinese handmade guitar brand founded by Li Zongsheng, was born in the stage when the eldest daughter learned to play the piano, and the three series of the brand were named after the initials of the three daughters' names, S, J and H, which were regarded as the assets left by the father to the daughters.

"Because I'm Single"

Because of the single Yang Zongwei - primary color

The song "Because of Singleness" is Li Zongsheng's observation and record of the living state of Yang Zongwei when "North Drift" was recorded in 798, and also reflects the state of the big brother who also settled in Beijing.

Unlike many works that analyze women's hearts, this work of men's perspective presents the struggle of an unmarried man living in Beijing to pretend to be "very man" when he is alone.

When Li Zongsheng himself performed this work, he also ridiculed himself, "I am a wizard, I practice my spells, I want to find a witch to practice spells with, life will not be so plain." ”　

"Love Like a Tide"

Love is like a tidal wave Zhang Xinzhe - Eternal Golden Songs Selected Audio-Visual Collection

"Love Like a Tide" is not a work tailored by Li Zongsheng for Zhang Xinzhe, the original premise of the eldest brother is to convey the views of a man who has experienced vicissitudes on feelings, but in the music scene at that time, he did not find a voice that can accurately interpret the powerlessness of "tough guys" about love. So he decided to take the risk and chose Ah Zhe, a male voice that was not deeply involved in the world and had a very pure voice.

After the audition, the contrast effect was unexpectedly magical, so it was formed, and this song, which originally did not have much confidence in everyone, led the "Prince of Love Songs" to the peak of his career and became his important masterpiece. When Li Zongsheng personally interpreted the work, he commented to himself, "Ah Zhe is the eternal Prince Charming, his voice is clean and clear, and my version is the 'old dried onion' version." ”
