Album introduction:
There are many "creative" singers in today's music scene. But artists who "create" as thoroughly as "Hou Xian" are indeed rare. With 23 songs in three years, Houxian took over all the work in the album production process, including lyrics, arranging, mixing, mastering, and even album photo shooting, album design, and copywriting. It is conceivable that such a workload was completed in just three years.
Hou Xian was the first to come up with the word "full creation". It means not only "all creation", but also the self-positioning of an "entrepreneurial" singer, and a kind of continuous insistence on "innovation" Persistence.
In the initial stage of "starting a business", it is a virtue to regard "doing everything by hand" as the basic way of doing things, and it is also a kind of persistence to "ensure one's own creative style to the greatest extent". Although it won't be perfect, at least it will give you peace of mind. On the contrary, this is a kind of confidence and kindness.
After the release of "Ancient·Wan" in 2005, it immediately set off a wave of "string RnC style" in the music world. This year, "The Unbeaten East" still continues the "string-based RnC style", and also "innovatively" chose team composition for the arrangement of some songs. "Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing" and "Haikou" respectively integrate young Taiwanese talent "Chen Lei" and veteran music producer "Lin Mingyang". Team cooperation will definitely bring everyone a new feeling.
Track introduction
1 Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing
The first wave features "Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing". As the name suggests, the listener can instantly feel like they are immersed in the history of books. In the picture scroll, the nostalgic feelings left in people's minds are constantly revealed. In terms of music style, it is the essence of the string-based RnC style. It not only has the ancient charm and artistic conception of the famous songs "West Chamber" and "Kunming Lake", but also has the popular tension of "you can sing after listening to it twice". Last year, I visited Xitang, an ancient town in Zhejiang Province. When I was enjoying the sounds and sounds of opera on the opposite bank of the river at night, I was suddenly inspired by the melody, and I wrote the song "Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing" on the spot. Summary of the story: The scholar and Han Chuang study hard, and often write poems and play the piano with the girl who practices the piano together, and they fall in love with each other. However, in his heart, the scholar wants to join the army and change his ambition. Before leaving, he copied the next blank volume of "" "Preface to Orchid Pavilion", (because all the inkstones dripped were tears) the girl said goodbye to the Twenty-Four Bridge, and the scholar gave the girl an acrostic poem to say goodbye. In modern times, a young scholar imagined the farewell scene in an ancient acrostic poem and expressed his nostalgia for the past...
2 Haikou
Lovers are talking about their heartfelt feelings When we are young, we often boast to our lovers, such as "I will love you forever and be together forever" and so on. But these promises later become a heavy burden. On the day when the promises are broken, it feels like the world is destroyed. We are helpless and desolate. When we are bragging about our lives, in fact, not many people will carefully consider the future. Haikou is another popular slow song created by Houxian after "Nine Out of Ten". The chorus of "I Praise You About Haikou" poignantly and tragically conveys the things that everyone has ever encountered or will encounter in the future. love story.
3 Crossing the Bridge
The song "Crossing the Bridge" contains two meanings: 1. Crossing the bridge rice noodles 2. The single-plank bridge to pass the college entrance examination.
"Crossing the Bridge" is Hou Xian's first narrative rap song. The style of this song is his new attempt at narrative rap songs. The whole song intersperses the confessions of a modern senior high school student and an ancient scholar rushing to take exams. Cheng uses the key word "crossing the bridge" to merge two different eras into each other and interpret a complete story: high school students prepare for the exam at night and struggle to support themselves. The students can't help but think of the former Yang Xiucai from crossing the single-plank bridge, and they are mentally exhausted. While dozing off, I entered an ancient story: Yang Xiucai studied hard all day long in the pavilion in the middle of the South Lake in Mengzi. His lover would put down a bowl of hot and warm bridge-crossing rice noodles by the bridge every day. The scholar went to Dali to take the exam, hoping to become an official one day. He was able to take care of the whole family, and he finally lived up to expectations and finally got his honors, married his lover, and entered the officialdom. However, he was disappointed and resigned because of the pedantry of the officialdom. When he was discouraged, his wife brought a bowl of cross-bridge rice noodles to warm his heart. He decided to return to Nanhu with his wife and open a small shop by the bridge, using bridge rice noodles to convey bursts of warmth to passers-by. The ordinary ideal actually also hides greatness. A senior high school student woke up from his dream and could no longer endure the hustle and bustle of the secular views clouding his brain and the neighbors playing mahjong, quarreling and dancing. He decided to pick up his backpack and go find the bridge he really wanted to cross and his lover beside the bridge.
4 Zheng Chenggong
A biographical pop song full of historical hero elements. The deep inspirational feelings flow through it, and the poignancy and passion of the chorus "Mother's hands have been stitched together for hundreds of years" can't help but move everyone. Summary of the story: A college student who graduated from Xiamen was assigned to book management work at the Zheng Chenggong Memorial Hall. The former complacency turned into a small historical materials administrator. He used to want to write history, but now he is guarding history. The psychological gap once made him frustrated. Cold, one night, Zheng Chenggong came to him in a dream and told him that the paper and pen of history are waiting for everyone to write...
5 Roster
Campus rock genre It is lighthearted and playful, tying together the nicknames of classmates from school days, and the COSPALY role-playing descriptions make each person's characteristics vivid and interesting. The flower names used in it basically come from Houxian's college class back then. Houxian pinned his nostalgia for school time in this pleasant campus-style rhythm melody.
6 Serving with Pen and Ink
Using ancient brush calligraphy formulas as the opening, a hip-hop calligraphy epic is transformed into a hip-hop calligraphy epic. The song uses a unique Chinese melody to describe famous artists such as Wang Xizhi, Ouyang Xiuyan, Zhenqing Liu Gongquan, etc. Stories of hard work and hard work come one after another. Nowadays, in pursuit of high efficiency and keyboard input-based communication, fewer and fewer people pick up a writing brush. It can be seen that this song is to call on everyone to often pick up the brush in their hands and practice calligraphy, rather than becoming an indistinguishable typing master, because brush calligraphy is the unique essence of the Chinese people.
7 Slow Four Love Songs
The back string is inspired by a slow four dance music that I often heard in my childhood. The campus love story is described: when they were illiterate about dancing in college, boys and girls in different classes liked each other, but they were afraid that they would be rejected if they invited each other to dance, but they could only pretend that the other party was a dance partner in their minds, and the two had a crush on each other. , but they all thought they had unrequited love. As time went by, on the day of graduation, the two of them dragged their luggage and met at the school gate for the last time. At this time, the reserved partner could only imagine in his mind for the last time with tears in his eyes, holding each other's hand and dancing for the last time. A Slow Four love song... The whole song is gentle and smooth, and it is bound to create a Slow Four retro trend.
8 Shaolin Temple
Using a strong heavy rhythm, the legendary Shaolin Temple is presented to the world. This song was written by Hou Xian after he visited the Shaolin Temple. In the song A passage from the Marrow Cleansing Sutra is specially added to express the mystery and admiration for the spirit of Shaolin Temple.
