What are the names of the foreign songs in the movie Chongqing Forest?

Chongqing Forest Music-California Dream-

This is a song I fell in love with the first time I heard it. I say this because her melody is so unrestrained and light that I casually ignore his words-bleak season, gray background. Wong Kar-wai seldom uses such a light tone to deal with the background of the film. The hazy feeling between Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Faye Wong made Faye Wong's heart beat like this song, hiding the long-awaited passion in peace.

Lyrics: Mom and Dad Compose: Mom and Dad

All the leaves are brown.

The sky is gray.

I went for a walk.

On a winter day

I will be safe and warm.

If I were in Los Angeles.

California Dreaming

On such a winter day

Stop at the church

I walked all the way

I knelt down.

I pretended to pray.

You know priests like the cold.

He knew I would stay.

California Dreaming

On such a winter day

All the leaves are brown.

The sky is gray.

I went for a walk.

On a winter day

If I don't tell her

I can leave today.

California Dreaming

On such a winter day

California Dreaming

On such a winter day

California Dreaming

On such a winter day

John Phillips was originally a member of a folk song choir called Skilled Workers. Once he went to a bar in San Francisco to perform, a beautiful female middle school student who was only sixteen years old was fascinated by this tall, thin and confident singer (he was over ninety meters) and even followed him to new york. At that time, 25-year-old Phillips was married and had two children, but none of them beat the wayward california gurls Michelle. She ran to Phillips' house and asked his wife to leave John. Mrs. Phillips knew for a long time that her husband often made love outside, and she was not surprised at all. She also persuaded Mitchell that John had such a lover in every city. However, this time she was wrong. This Mitchell really fascinates Phillips. A few weeks later, Phillips divorced. Soon, Mitchell became the new Mrs Phillips.

1964 In the winter, the old "Walker Band" was dissolved, and Phillips planned to organize a new band. He found the humorous Canadian folk singer Danny Docherty, and then mobilized his wife Mitchell to join him and formed a brand-new "Walker Band". Mitchell was not very good at singing at first, but Phillips believed that they could get extra income with their wife, which persuaded Mitchell. Unfortunately, the trio didn't succeed at first. One night, when they were bored, the three decided to go to a place to play and find inspiration. They found a globe and made it turn. Mitchell picked up a small arrow and threw it at it with his eyes closed. As a result, the arrow got stuck on an island called St. Thomas in Central and North America. The three of them immediately set off for a tropical island and wandered around the island all day, living entirely on a credit card owned by Phillips. Soon, Doetti's friend and singer Eliat also came to the island, bringing a lot of psychedelic drugs to everyone. Eliat is obese (weighing 300 Jin at the heaviest) and generous, so people call her "Kathy's mother". At that time, Kathy secretly loved Doherty, but Doherty pretended not to see it because of her close relationship with Mitchell. Phillips saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart. But for the success of the band, he put up with it. Kathy also bears a grudge against Mitchell's behavior, but she also pretends not to see it. After all, Mitchell is still an inexperienced girl. In this way, the four of them lived a life full of contradictions and freedom on the island.

Kathy originally wanted to join the band, but Phillips thought her voice was not high enough to match the voice of the rest of the band, so she never agreed. Later, an accident happened. Cathy was hit on the head by a heavy object, causing a slight concussion. After staying in the hospital for a few days, she can sing! In this way, mother Kathy became a member of the new band.

Finally, Phillips' credit card was rejected by the bank and the four of them had to go home. They only have 50 dollars left in their pockets. What should they do? Mitchell decided to try his luck in the casino. And the result? They flew back to new york first class!

It's autumn in 1965. I haven't seen you for months. They were surprised by the changes in new york. All my friends who used to sing folk songs together have gone to California. At that time, the focus of the American music industry was shifting westward, and a large number of record companies opened branches in California. These companies use contracts to attract folk singers from the east. Of course, the pleasant climate on the west coast of the United States is also a big reason. They just came back from a tropical island and were particularly impressed. Mitchell was originally a girl who grew up in California and kept clamoring to go back to the west coast. One night, Phillips had a sudden inspiration and wrote his wife's dream into a song called California Dream:

All the leaves in California Dream are brown and the sky is gray. I went for a walk.

In winter, if I dream in Los Angeles, California, I will be safe and warm.

On such a winter day

At the end of 1965, they really set off for Los Angeles, where Cathy had lived for some time. She lives in the home of her good friend, the folk singer Barry mcguire. Mcguire suggested that the four of them go to their own producer, the talented Lou Adler. The latter signed a contract with them immediately after the audition. Because Phillips has a nickname "Dad", they decided to give the band a new name. In this way, "The Mamas & the Papas" was born.

The main works they sang were written by Phillips. He is good at writing melodies, and he is better at harmony. Edeler invited the best houseworm in Los Angeles for them, recorded an album called "If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears" and released the single "California Dream" on Monday. Although the band's style is not typical folk rock, but a kind of popular music with folk flavor, this does not prevent these two singles from becoming popular songs, and the latter has also reached the first place in the charts. Mom and dad suddenly became famous.

However, with the rapid development of the band, the rift between the four of them began to become more and more obvious. Mitchell finally had sex with Danny, which made Phillips very angry. He even wrote a song to express his dissatisfaction (I saw her again and even became another popular song of the band). Finally, the Phillips finally broke up. But Mitchell has a new love at this moment, and the other party is actually Jean Clark, a famous singer of the Bird family. This change made both of them very depressed. Dougherty was mired in alcohol, while Phillips turned to drugs. Cathy felt bad too. Seeing that the man she loved fell in love with the beautiful young Mitchell, she gave up on herself and began to play with other men. Kathy madly made love with many different men and even gave birth to a daughter without a father. If the band hadn't made a lot of money at that time, I'm afraid it wouldn't last for a month.

1968, mom Kathy left the band and started an unsuccessful solo career. At the same time, The Mamas & the Papas, which was founded more than three years ago, was officially dissolved. Six years later, my mother Cathy died of a heart attack, and Phillips and Mitchell still hated each other for a long time. Later, Phillips and Doherty found two other female singers to re-compose The Mamas & the Papas, but they could never reproduce the glory of that year. It is such an ill-fated four people who left us a California dream that still sounds so fresh and pleasant. It's really embarrassing to listen to this song now, just like dreaming.
