Are there any classic Cantonese songs?

1. "I Want to Live" by Ye Qianwen: This is a song that has nothing to do with Liang Fengyi. I remember the first time I heard it was in the TV series "Intolerance". Zhou Haimei finally put aside a relationship that was taken advantage of and decided to live for herself from now on. When her expression changed from confusion to determination, Ye Qianwen's singing Without losing any opportunity, it sounded: "I will never feel sorry for myself sooner or later, and I will never ask myself who is wrong. There is no need to shed any more unnecessary tears, and I will save my energy to bear the endless emptiness." How sober and thorough! The whole song uses a very hard rock soundtrack, and the intro gives people a heart-wrenching feeling. And Ye Qianwen's singing can always maintain a calm tone. Even when the song develops to the climax with quite violent melody fluctuations, I can still feel the confidence of a mature woman in controlling herself from Ye Qianwen's singing. Ye Qianwen is a female singer that I like very much. Part of it is due to her straightforward personality, and part of it is her unique voice quality. Some of her early masterpieces, such as "Ten Ten", "Crying in the Sand", "Autumn Comes and Autumn Goes", "Long Night, My Love Good Night", etc., are still masterpieces in the Cantonese music scene. After she moved to Taiwan for development, although producers Chen Dali and Chen Xiunan established Ye Qianwen's diva status in the entire Chinese music scene with the song "A Chic Walk", their poor creative ability eventually led to Ye Qianwen's bleak future. 2. Xu Guanjie's "Double Star Love Song": I don't need to say more about this work of the singer. You only need to type out part of its lyrics to appreciate its lasting charm. "Swaying in the boat, we exchange vows to celebrate the dawn of spring. Our hearts invite each other to take a photo, and we are willing to turn into seagulls and sing softly to please our mood. We are on a blind date with my sister under the bright sun, hoping that we will never be apart. The beautiful scenery is intoxicating and our hearts are in love. Yes, we are destined to each other among the green willow flowers. Our love will never change even though we are separated from each other by thousands of miles. It is sad to say goodbye. It seems that we have never seen each other tomorrow. I will remember the flowers in front of you tomorrow. The candle shadow is deep in my tears, and the moon shines alone on the cold mandarin duck. Pillow. I can't help but feel sad when I'm drunk and alone in my quilt. I cry in the empty tent in the middle of the night with regrets." 3. "In the Middle of the Water" by Lin Zixiang: This is an old song with a mood that directly matches the mood of "Double Star Love Song". Lam Zixiang can be called a weirdo in the Hong Kong music scene. The experience of studying abroad enabled him to write pioneering works such as "Ah LAM's Diary", which is unique with his unique "Lin's Mad Songs". He can also skillfully combine Cantonese tunes with pop music without leaving any trace, using his eloquent ’s soft-spoken and affectionate interpretation. "In the Middle of the Water" is such a typical example, with beautiful music and beautiful lyrics. "The green mountains are reflected in the light green lake, and you can see the color of the water against the mountain light. The floating clouds are like catkins, wandering freely in the sky, laughing at the busy life of the people..." Someone once lamented that today's popular songs are not as good as the "ear-nourishing" songs of the past. , I feel the same way. A common problem in today's pop music is that form is greater than content. The dull melody and pale lyrics can only be offset by strong rhythm and dazzling packaging. In that golden age of pop music, many good songs had the power to move people's hearts. But now, these fast-food music can only help people pass the time. 4. Hacken Lee's "Deep Deep": Hacken Lee is also my favorite singer, and I think his failure to become popular is one of the biggest losses to the Hong Kong music scene. "Deep Deep" is the first piece of Hacken Lee's work that I came into contact with. It seems to be included in a mixed tape of PolyGram's anniversary. The other good songs include "Half Moon" by Jacky Cheung and "Half Moon" by Alan Tam. "Love and Righteousness", "Change of Love" by Zhong Zhentao and "City Footprints" by Xu Xiaofeng. Hacken Lee appeared as Alan Tam's successor, and there was a period when he deliberately imitated Alan Tam's voice and pronunciation. For example, in "Still the Same Place", it was almost unreal. "Deep Deep" is a classic work that helped Hacken Lee break away from Alan Tam's shadow and establish his position in the music world. Composer Lin Mude and lyricist Hacken Lee (this combination was later extended to "City Hall Concert Hall", another touching song), simple piano accompaniment, light melody, and Lee Hacken's unique singing voice, the pain of lovelorn depicted is shocking. . "Helpless, you said you have forgotten, you said you have forgotten, no matter how sad it is, there are only two words on the face, drying the tears. I said I hope, I say I hope, but I can fall in love one more time. But, now, now I already know in my heart that this is hopeless." 5. Hacken Lee's "Blue Moon": an adaptation of "Safe Zone" Tamaki Koji. This Japanese is indeed not simple. Many of his works continue to be popular in Hong Kong, such as Jacky Cheung's " "Li Xianglan", "Half Moon", Alan Tam's "Burgundy Heart", Priscilla Chan's "Freezing Point"... "Blue Moon" is my favorite work by Koji Tamaki. This song is full of romantic atmosphere, with jumping and smart notes and flowing rhythm, coupled with Xiang Xuehuai's lyrics and Li Hackin's interpretation, it would be just as emotional as Fan Wuling's performance under the palm trees. "From the darkness into the cool morning, I kissed my passionate lover on the street corner. The emptiness and heartbreak floated like floating clouds, covering the street lights. The breeze was blowing through the swaying long skirt, and the time took away the infatuated moment. The two hugged each other and were completely close. Blue Moon, gone, still attached to tonight's vows. I hope that the sad moments in the past will not be mentioned again and this life will be more beautiful. "Li Keqin can stick to his own style in such a state for 10 years. Pay your respects to him. In contrast, Tong Ange, who I admired most back then, has moved further and further away from "Actually You Don't Understand My Heart".

6. Huang Kaiqin's "Lovers in the Rain": With a talent like Huang Kaiqin, is it lucky or unfortunate to be born in Hong Kong and enter the Hong Kong music scene? He seems to have always been out of tune with the commercial atmosphere. His elegance, nobility, and versatility make him and other singers of the same period seem to be two people living in different worlds. Unlike Hacken Lee who persisted, he withdrew early and is no longer in the pop music scene. Huang Kaiqin stood out with "Sentimental Lover". He was able to compose music, write lyrics, and was extremely talented. Not only did he win the reputation of a "talented man" in the music industry, he also published a collection of essays and held a photography exhibition. "Lovers in the Rain" is not a companion piece to "Sad Lovers", and its style is also more refreshing. The occasional saxophone playing and Huang Kaiqin's gorgeous voice complement each other, creating a romantic feeling of a rainy night in the city. "Carrying the lost dreams, enjoying the escort of lovers in the rain, the chill after the rain was just as strong as yesterday. The lonely and confused wind, the feelings are still not frozen, making the memories of yesterday soft and dancing in my heart..." Huang Kaiqin His temperament destined him not to compromise with the music scene that later became vulgar, and not many people would appreciate his excellence, especially record companies. Therefore, Huang Kaiqin's disappearance for many years did not make any market miss him many years ago. A gem they missed. 7. Luo Wen's "Chen Fang": Or you can call this song "August Osmanthus Fragrance", because it became a household name with the popularity of this TV series. Luo Wen's voice can even be described as "demon" at times, and his style is also quite charming, far better than the current Leslie Cheung. It is also for this reason that Luo Wen is able to sing the theme songs of costume TV series with ease. In fact, I don't have much fondness for Luo Wen. Unfortunately, he has sung too many good songs. Sometimes I can only tolerate his "enchanting" voice because the lyrics and melody are really classic. "The world is like a dream. It has been uneven after several ups and downs, and now it has become nothing but smoke. Love has also become empty, like a wave of wind in the sleeves, a faint wisp of fragrance, floating in a deep old dream. The prosperity has disappeared, and the whole body is haggard in the wind. When I look back, there is no sunshine or rain. There is no one to express my feelings to the bright moon. The road is long and I cannot control the ups and downs of the world. I have experienced indifference and enthusiasm. , No matter how affectionate and lonely you are, the flowers bloom and fall as the wind blows, no matter what the vicissitudes of the world, the city is full of lovesickness and silence, only the fragrance of osmanthus drifts by. "I think it is necessary to write this lyrics. Type it all up and share it with everyone. "It's like waving your hands with the wind behind your sleeves." Have you ever heard of such a wonderful description? 8. "Darker than Night" by Karen Mok: This song is included in Karen Mok's best album to date, "Full Body Karen". Composed by Guo Zi and written by Zhou Yaohui, it is the theme song of the movie "Black Man". "Dark Man" is a movie that I like very much. Dark tones, strange light, reinforced concrete environment, cold and alienated interpersonal relationships, love and hate, pursuit and destruction, justice and evil on this ruthless stage are more real. "Darker than Night" is also such a dark song. Karen Mok spoke softly and sang in a low voice. The melodious melody flowed in the dark night, as if it had found its destination. Karen Mok's true temperament is the same as that of Michelle Yeh, and she is an anomaly in the Hong Kong music scene. But sadly, in today's world where creative resources are extremely scarce, even the personality of a singer will be created or packaged by the record company and become a tool for record promotion. We are now The incomparable beauty Mok Wenwei saw is no longer the same as the straightforward and singing woman in "Body". In fact, some so-called individual singers only have a little bit of their own personality, and record companies deliberately exaggerate the gap between the singer's personality and the public in order to achieve sales results, making the singer lonely and making the common people look up to him. In fact, why bother? Isn’t the power of a good song enough? 9. Xu Zhian's "Lonely Radio": the seventh song in the album "A, B, C and D". I remember one time when I recommended this song to a friend of mine, he pulled out his earplugs as soon as he heard the intro and asked me: "Why do you also like to listen to such a vicious song?" I was stunned! In fact, it was this "vicious" prelude that first attracted me. It reminded me of the noise and chaos in the city. The lyrics vividly analyze the fear of loneliness. "I hear a strange melody, lingering in the air. The message is always the same, telling different sorrows. Rumors fly out of the window, spreading that sincerity does not exist. People who have dreams can't wait to turn on the mic in their hearts. If you hear it, please answer, this is a lonely radio station The radio waves broadcast day and night are love, love, love. It passes through the city sky and echoes in the indifferent sea of ??people. The suppressed love is in every wandering night train. Tired mind, voice that cannot be concealed, give me love, fast, fast, fast..." Before listening to this album, my impression of Xu Zhian was nothing more than "fiery and dynamic lalala", but I was pleasantly surprised in "A, B, B, D," He found the long-lost masculinity in the music world again. I bought several Xu Zhian albums after "A, B, C, D", but each time I was disappointed, and the much-hyped "Why Do You Love Others Behind My Back" was even worse. Fortunately, there is still a song called "Roma" that can be listened to. 10. Wen Zhaolun's "Love in My Heart": This is an episode of a very good wireless TV series "Fire Rose". Xu Jialiang composed the music and Pan Weiyuan wrote the lyrics. One of my favorite lines is "There is hatred in your heart." As an interlude, it is very on point, because "Fire Rose" is a story about a girl who is trapped in hatred and cannot extricate herself.

Wen Zhaolun is a very outstanding singer. His style is very special. His voice can be described as "whispering", but it is not as sweet and uncomfortable as Aaron Kwok's early days. He is gentle and shy, which makes people fall in love. A long time ago, I watched a video of a Hong Kong concert, in which Wen Zhaolun sang a song, which should be the episode of "No Regrets in This Life". The lyrics were "Love is always like a game, and the ocean of love is originally without injury or sorrow." ...", it's so nice, but I still don't know what the title of the song is. After Wen Zhaolun moved to Taiwan for development, his singing career began to decline. His unique voice becomes annoying once he sings in Mandarin.

Could it be that the Taiwanese music scene is really a poison that murders Cantonese singers?
