01. Wolf
Composer: Qi Qin
Lyricist: Qi Qin
Qi Qin's masterpiece of shaping an uninhibited personality, "Wolf" gives people the feeling of loneliness, desolation, and alienation. His experiences have been transformed into the wildness of rock and roll and the beauty of pop music, real enough to be touched. At that time, when the Taiwanese music scene was dominated by folk songs, "Wolf" dared to use the rock style to express his feelings directly, which was both bold and a provocation to the system.
The influence of "Wolf" not only extends to Taiwan, but also spreads to Hong Kong and the mainland, so Qi Qin has also become the first person in the Chinese music scene to enjoy the treatment of synchronous popularity across the straits and three places, although the synchronization with the mainland is actually lagging behind for two or three years, but at least at the same time that the mainland began to popular wolf howl, Qi Qin is still in the front line of the Baodao song world.
Qi Qin's self-description: "Wolf" is my first formal music composition. It was natural for me to think of writing about myself as "wolf". At that time, the record company I belonged to did not have any concept and manpower to plan styling design, my songs, my appearance, is the original me, not any packaged product.
I am a wolf from the north, walking in the endless wilderness, the fierce north wind blowing, the long yellow sand skimming, I can only bite the cold teeth, in return for two long roars, for nothing else, only for the legendary beautiful grassland.
02. The original me
Original music: chage&aska - Kawasaku (1981.02)
Composer: Asuka Cool
Lyricist: Lu Chengming
Chage, whose original name was Hideyuki Shibata, aska was originally named Miyazaki Shigeaki, a Japanese heavyweight duo founded in 1979, chage and aska names (rumors are for reference only): because chage had less hair when he was studying, he was named "hage" (meaning "bald") by female classmates in the same class, and then chage added a "c" in front of it, which became his stage name. Aska had a crush on a female classmate in her class, but the female classmate liked a boy named "Asuka", so Aska named herself "Asuka".
Give me a space, no one walks by, feel that I am left out, give me a period of time, no one has ever loved, once again experience loneliness, once loved but want to break up, why love can not stay together, in the end why, early know so, why start, the price after laughter is indifference, since said deeply love me, why do you want to leave me, the sea oath mountain alliance left behind, early know so, why start, I am still the original me.
03. Sun rain
From this album onwards, we have Qi Qin, who is connected with our own hearts. In the years that followed, his songs were the traces of time, and turning them over was like turning out a diary and picking up memories. Incidentally, "The Wolf's Album" is recorded in analog form, but the squelch and vocal mix residue are excellent! It has a clean listening and has been named one of the 100 best records in Taiwan.
It's raining in the clear sky, it's an afternoon sun rain, it's raining in the clear sky, because my heart, and I'm crying for you, oh... Don't leave me, please listen to me, all this is all my fault, please don't leave me, it rains in the clear sky, this is an irreparable separation, it rains in the clear sky, this is an irreparable ending.
04. Once upon a time
Composer: Jiang San province
Lyricist: Chen Jinxian
From "Wolf's Album", from the first to the ninth, there is loneliness, sorrow and even rebellion, which makes me find myself in it. It is also lonely, sad, rebellious, maybe everyone's experience is different, when you hear a song that resonates, you will be very engaged.
Once upon a time I lost myself, once upon a time I forgot myself, indulged in a city of a change of tone, pursuing the unrealistic mind, once upon a time I confused myself, once upon a time I fell into myself, intoxicated in the masked city, pursuing the unrealistic mind, standing in this cold street, walking in this crowd of people, I was dazed and did not know that there was myself.
05. The forgotten...
Lyricist: Chen Sheng
In the red dust, a wolf walking alone, winding down, thinking of the vast hometown grassland... The sense of isolation in the crowd, like the ancient loneliness of the wolf tribe in the animals, bursts out of the spring of thought. Qi Qin is his name, like in the spring and autumn Warring States era of wars and chaos, some people and things that once lived, after several lifetimes of reincarnation, were reborn into the human world, and what coexisted with his name was a strange and indifferent atmosphere.
The wind blows softly, the river flows slowly, blows through the tear-dried eyes, blows through the dusty face, touches the childlike face of the legend, sings a song, awakens the psalms in the burning, the ancient grassland in the memory, the tears slide down, the laughter slowly condenses, the face of the speechless question, looking through the eyes of the heavens, only the immaculate lies, singing a song, breaking up the useless solemnity, burning the joy that has not been seen for a long time, singing a song, breaking up the useless solemnity, returning to me the beautiful grassland, and returning to the ancient grassland.
06. Yakou
Introspective, lonely, and a little wild, it was stylistically biased toward American folk and country music, with a large number of rock electro-acoustic guitars in its accompaniment (from the point of view of the time, those wow sounds were still very distinctive). These characteristics are destined to be a record that is out of the mainstream and has only three love songs, which can be proved from the side. Qi Qin took the route of a creator from the beginning, completing 6 pieces of the album, and his creative talent does not need to be repeated. In singing, it is still green, of course, how to be stronger than Chen Sheng... (Chen Sheng contributed three lyrics and a song in the album, and participated in the harmony, which was excellent and could be regarded as a budding role.) ）
I love to go to the meeting of the two peaks, because the wind is the strongest, I don't like to talk, because I come from yakou, the mouth where the two peaks meet, is the hometown of the wind, whenever the moon falls on the earth, I sit alone and listen to the wind roar, they say that I was originally a wolf, lost in the uneasy years, singing a song called life, but I don't know what life is, singing a song called life, but I don't know what life is, there is, there is the home of the wind.
07. Don't have to be reluctant
Original Music: Off Course - Time (1980.11)
Composer: Kazumasa Oda
Lyricist: Qi Qin/Chen Sheng
In 1969, Kazuma Oda became acquainted with Yasuhiro Suzuki and the landlord Michio. The three formed the original band of オフコース (off course), and it wasn't long before the landlord Dof withdrew. In fact, the most glorious period of this band was the late 1970s, when the super band group led by Kazusho Oda, Yasuhiro Suzuki, Hitoshi Shimizu, Oma Tsuneyoshi and Kazuhiko Matsuo was one of the most popular groups in Japan, and it can be said that it is unmatched. The songs of this period are both Oda Kazumasa's solo and the chorus of the whole group, in fact, at this time Oda Kazumasa is more accurate as a songwriter, he created a large number of popular songs, like many "traditional pop music" of the 70s, most of the slow songs, the lyrics reveal a faint tenderness, coupled with the catchy, the melody is simple and bright, which is also one of the important reasons why the yo オフコース was loved by female fans at that time.
In 1989, the band disbanded. After disbanding, Kazusho Oda began his musical career, releasing his first solo single , Little Tokyo " , in the fall of 1989. The most attractive thing is the song "Sudden Arrival of Love Story" sung for Fuji Tv's popular Japanese drama "Tokyo Love Story" the following year. I believe that while everyone is in tears by the tragedy of Li Xiang and Wanzhi having lovers who are difficult to become dependents, they also deeply remember this aria of love. Later masterpieces, "Oh! yeah!", "伝えたいこいとがあるんだ(向給說說) as well as "woh woh" and "キラキラ" have all achieved good results. Kazusumasa Oda was established as the "founder of gentle lyricism" in the Japanese pop music industry.
In every parting place, there are always some chaotic footprints, who have not wandered, have not left a thought, hidden the thoughts in the unknown reunion, in a miserable and cold night, with tears I silently left you, a thousand words and a thousand words, never said, only waiting for the healing of the pain, leaving you, not easy, missing you, had to, if you, really care, do not force yourself, I do not blame you, the diary, too crowded, as long as gently erase me, in a lot of rolling nights, I gently called you in my dreams, Thinking of your smile, thinking of your figure, turning thoughts into pale memories, in every poignant love story, there is always a little painful memory, can not think of you, can not forget you, the thoughts hidden in the unknown reunion.
08. Wanderer from a foreign land
Qi Qin's songs do not have a critical color in the general sense, and the theme of his songs is not grand and abstract and "has some intentions", but Qi Qin's critical consciousness is always from the perspective of the self, quietly flowing in it, talking with a mortal posture, not a straightforward and sharp preaching that may be disliked.
With cold limbs, I wandered in the wind, passing through a village, walking through a town, a pawn who crossed the river, a wanderer in a foreign land, oh maybe, oh maybe, with the hope in my heart, with the confusion in my heart, counting how many stars, how many young hopes I carried, a pawn who crossed the river, a wanderer in a foreign land, oh maybe, oh maybe, oh maybe, in a distant place, once my ideal, oh now, oh now, oh now, but there is no place for me to stop, la... Whew... Whew... A place that was once dreamed.
09. The rest of the years
Qi Qin found that the copyright of 27 songs he had composed, such as "About Winter" and "Wolf", did not belong to him, and filed a complaint with Universal Records to recover the copyright; but the court found that the "copyright transfer certificate" signed by Qi Qin at that time was a record of transferring the "music copyright" to the record company, not the "recording copyright" referred to by Qi Qin, and ruled that Qi Qin lost the lawsuit. The entire case is appealable. Taiwan's Supreme Court finally found that Qi Qin was still the owner of the copyright property rights of these famous songs on the grounds that Universal Music could not prove that it had legally obtained the transfer of song rights.
Give me a dim light, give me a cold corner, give me a pair of shoes that can't be broken, give me a sonorous guitar, think about the past, think about the present, let me play, let me sing, let me play, let me sing, a passer-by of life, a lonely shadow, a sad song of life, a rest of the years.
10. Rhapsody
Composer: Chen Sheng
When the last song on the album, "Rhapsody", appeared, an uplifting spirit was launched from the heart, the loneliness in front of it was also evolved, and a bright light appeared in front of the eyes, and one after another heart things drifted away with the song. Qi Qin sang this song, crisp and sharp, there is no sense of dragging mud and water, every sentence is breathed out, so he grasps the connotation of the song, and listens to the last word of each sentence to feel it, especially "The reason for goodbye is not too much, gentle you think of me" and other sentences, but also can be heard heroic. At the end of the song, there are several almost wild harmonies, probably Chen Sheng, plus a rare chant in Qi Qin's singing, making the whole song cheerful and active, and the mood is full of emotions. With the afterglow of the first nine songs, I continue to live with my true personality. Youth, ideals, thoughts, this is how "Rhapsody" brings us feelings.
oh set me free, set me free. i am gonna fly, i want to hold the sky till the morning light, spread the wings of my rhapsody, fly over the place that does not belong to me, to a distant foreign land, feel the warmth of the sun and the dawn, the reason for goodbye is not too much, gentle you rhapsody of me, let some thoughts engraved in the brow, gaze at my deepest pain, spread the wings of my rhapsody, fly over the place that does not belong to me, to a distant foreign land, feel the warmth of the sun and the dawn, There are not too many reasons to break up, the clever you think of me, the tumbling thoughts will be more, and the fate it arranges I can not turn back.
