Seventeen years ago, on November 5, 2004, Mayday released the album "God's Children Are Dancing". This is not only the fifth studio album released on Mayday's fifth anniversary, but also Mayday's last studio album on Rolling Stone Records.
The album is titled after the Haruki Murakami League novel and contains thirteen titles. At this time, Mayday was in the creative explosion period, in addition to the lead singer Ashin once again completed the full disc lyrics, Monster, Stone and Guanyou also handed over excellent compositions, and finally presented a high-quality album that truly brought together all the members of the band "The Power of the Flood".
The most interesting thing about the album is the endless variety of characters in the song. Mayday deliberately sang nineteen characters including Monkey King, Superman, Nobita, Yi Jing and Santa Claus, combined with the album title, the band members obviously had ulterior motives, trying to tell a story from utopia with their own musical works.
Among the works included in the album, I personally like "stubbornness" the most.
In view of the fact that at that time, Mayday's lead singer Ah Xin was once accused by the media of family being related to the underworld, "stubbornness" was seen as a response to Ah Xin's attack on the media. For ordinary fans, "stubbornness" can be seen as both an inspirational song and a haven and fig leaf for self-anesthesia. However, I think that no matter how you look at this work, just by the first sentence of the opening paragraph, "When / I am different from the world / Then let me be different / Insist on it for me / It is gang kegang", stubbornness" is enough to be called a temple masterpiece that directly hits people's hearts.
In addition, "Let Me Take Care of You" and "Little Nurse" are also good songs not to be missed.
The former is a perfect combination of folk and rock, and the whole work is simplified to convey the tenderness and warmth of Mayday. The latter is a playful love song with a retro rock charm, which makes the "uniform temptation" justified.
After the release of the album, in order to coincide with the "When We Mix Together" tour the following year, Mayday also launched the "Happy New Year's Eve Special Limited Edition" on December 17. The new version of the new record cover design is particularly eye-catching, and the friends who started it at that time are really envious.
However, friends may not have noticed that the "God's Children Are Dancing" album is actually Mayday's last studio album under the Rolling Stones. After the release of the selection "Contentment" in 2005, Mayday and Rolling Stone Records strategy chief Chen Yongzhi co-founded Believe in Music, and Mayday also became a signed band under Believe Music.
Although it is believed that the first three albums of the music are from the Qiang Debate Orchestra, Liang Jingru and Pin Guan, the fourth and fifth albums are all carefully created albums by Mayday. The band first released the "Midsummer Lightyear Movie Theme Song Concept Album", followed by their sixth studio album "Born for Love", officially began to write a new musical chapter.
