In the early hours of this morning, Lee Wing-ho covered the masterpiece of Hong Kong's palace rock band BEYOND, "Lover", and he will also include this song in the upcoming seventh album.
I believe that everyone will have a BEYOND song in their hearts, and Li Ronghao is no exception, as he posted on social platforms, "No way, here is my youth." ”
Lyrics by Lau Cheuk Fai and music by Wong Ka-ju, the song was originally included on BEYOND's Cantonese album Music and Anger, released in May 1993. The popularity of this classic work is very high, and singers such as Jacky Cheung, Lin Yilian, Gu Juji, S.H.E, Deng Ziqi and so on have covered it.
According to lyricist Liu Zhuohui, the song was originally called "Mainland Lover", and later renamed "Lover", which is about the difficulty of Hong Kong people and mainlanders in falling in love in the early 1990s.
Different from the poignant and sadness presented in the original version, Li Ronghao's re-adaptation adds a rare freedom, whether it is a delicate voice, or a retro melody, or a three-minute guitar solo, which will tell the beauty and regret buried in the heart. "There are days and nights of fantasy, can not wait", when you hear this lyric full of emotion, do you also recall the love that you have missed?
It is worth mentioning that the length of this song is nearly 7 minutes, which is 103 times that of "Babe", and some listeners also said in the comment area, "I really don't know, I am shocked, listen to "Lover" 1 time = listen to "Babe" 103 times!" ”
In fact, Li Ronghao has also covered the works of many singers before. As early as the first album "Model" released in 2013, the re-adaptation of "There Is a Girl" was included. This song is not unfamiliar to everyone, and Li Ronghao stands in the perspective of boys, interpreting the frankness and freedom of the characters in the song and dare to love and hate.
Cui Jian's music once had a great influence on Lee Young-ho, who was born in the north, so Lee Young-ho adapted this song "Let Me Sprinkle Some Wild on the Snow" in 2014 to pay tribute to his rock predecessors. With a dynamic melody, you can not only feel the uninhibited and wild that the song wants to convey, but also experience his love and persistence in music.
Included in Li Ronghao's sixth album "Sparrow" in the R&B version of "Fancy Years" is also a cover work, this is the theme song of the literary film "Fantasia Years" starring Liang Chaowei and Maggie Cheung, for this very temperamental old song, Li Ronghao not only retained the romance in the adaptation process, but also added a unique freshness through the psychedelic tone, the classic "If I had a ticket, would you go with me" also came to mind in an instant.
When he participated in the music variety show "Good Time" last year, Li Ronghao showed the strength of music adaptation to the fullest. Whether it is Wang Lihong's "Big City Little Love" or Tao Zhe's "Love, Very Simple", they all sang a unique "Li style" style, which is really worthy of Li Ronghao, who is "one person tops a band".
