Lee Wing-ho covered Beyond's classic old song "Lover" as the title song of his seventh album, and in the blink of an eye, beyond band has been disbanded for 16 years, and lead singer Wong Ka-koo has left me for 28 years.
But until now Beyond is still a light of Chinese rock, they are bent on making music, the songs have the indulgence of youth and the praise of the motherland, in the 80s and 90s, they were the trend. The classic songs they left behind are still sung to this day, throughout the youth of each of us, even those who do not speak Cantonese, as long as they hear their songs, they can't help but hum along.
Beyond's dissolution has a lot to do with the death of lead singer Huang Jiaju, who accidentally fell off the stage while participating in a variety show in Japan and never woke up again, when he died at the age of 31.
This may be fate, in the 80s of the last century, most of the songs in Hong Kong are translated from overseas songs, and do not pursue originality, that is, beyond the original has always been selected, after the fire, Beyond was also forced to compromise with the entertainment industry, frequently participating in various variety shows to enhance their popularity, thereby promoting songs. Once Huang Jiaju offended many people because he lamented that "there is no music scene in Hong Kong, only the entertainment industry". Later, Beyond went to Japan, which pays more attention to originality, but they still need to participate in various entertainment programs in order to promote the album, and finally Huang Jiaju fell on the stage of his most hated "selling laughter", which made people sigh.
Although beyond band has been disbanded for a long time now, their songs have been sung so far, and Lee Young-ho is not the first singer to cover their songs, and I believe it will not be the last. Let's relive a few classic songs of beyond, fantasizing about the pomp and circumstance of a group of young and crazy teenagers who always move forward with ideals and make the world listen to their voices with music.
Glorious years
Today there are only remnants of the shell
Greeting the glory days
Embrace freedom in the wind and rain
A lifetime of wandering struggles
Confidence can change the future
Ask who can do it again
Regardless of the boundaries of skin color
May this land be in
It doesn't matter whether you or I are high or low

Wong Ka-koo once traveled to Papua New Guinea to witness the local people living a miserable life because of war and famine, and after returning to Hong Kong, he saw the story of Mandela being trapped in prison in the newspaper, and he was inspired to compose the song "Glorious Years" as a tribute to the black president, as well as an ode to democracy and freedom and equality. It is said that someone later translated the song to Mandela, and Mandela finally burst into tears when he heard it.
The melody of this song is very simple, the lyrics are also written very well "embracing freedom in the wind and rain", a simple sentence contains too many things, and many people who are still struggling for life will resonate after hearing it.
Really love you
Spring wind and rain warm my heart
A lifetime of care and wordless gifts
What a warm gaze you are
Teach me to look resolutely at the road ahead
Tell me that I should not give up when I fall
There is no way to explain how to repay the kindness
Love for generosity is infinite
Please allow me to say I really love you
"Really Love You" is a song created by Huang Jiaju to express gratitude to his mother, in the early days of beyond the band, Huang Jiaju's father did not support him to engage in music, but his mother has always supported her, and often secretly saved money for her, for which Huang Jiaju is very grateful.
The song is sung by each of the four members of beyond, which can highlight each member's talent in singing, or let fans' understanding of the band not focus on one of them. Later, when beyond went to Africa to visit poor children, the music sang this song, and the meaning of this song is not only maternal love, but also more and more grand.
The sea is wide and the sky is wide
Today I watched the snow drift by in the cold night
Drift away with a cooled heart
Chasing in the wind and rain The fog is indistinguishable
The sky and the sea are wide for you and me
Can change (who is not changing)
How many times have you met with cold eyes and ridicule
I have never given up on the ideals in my heart
A moment of trance, the feeling of loss
Unconsciously, it has faded
Love in The Heart (Who Understands Me)
"Sea wide sky" is beyond the band Beyond's 1993 album "Music and Fury", this song was rated as the most popular original song of the year, shortly after the release of this song, Huang Jiaju died unexpectedly, "Sea Wide Sky" became his masterpiece.
Later, some sad fans found that the lyrics of this song were simply a true portrayal of Huang Jiaju's life, especially one of the sentences "Forgive me for loving freedom uninhibitedly in this life, and I will be afraid that one day I will fall" Huang Jiaju fell under the stage and never stood up again, but he was like a bright star in the music world, even after more than 20 years, his light is still dazzling.
Beyond band is a classic band in the history of the Chinese music scene, their songs are not only inspirational but also soulful, each song has the power to strike at people's hearts, even if the times are constantly changing, classics still exist in people's hearts forever.
