The sea is my hometown
My mother told me when I was a child
The sea is my hometown
I was born by the sea and grew up in the sea
The sea, the sea
This is where I live
The sea breeze blows the waves
Follow me in all directions
The sea, the sea< /p>
Just like my mother
Traveling all over the world
Always by my side
The sea, my hometown, the sea, my hometown
My hometown, my hometown
The emotions of the images infiltrate the hearts of the listeners
Beautiful poems and moving songs nourish our hearts like clear springs. The images in the lyrics It is also like seeds implanted in our hearts to sprout and grow. This is the power of artistic songs to influence and educate.
The sea, hometown, and mother are the images chosen in "The Sea, Hometown". These three images are juxtaposed, but they all revolve around a theme and express the passionate love for hometown.
Let’s talk about the sea first, which is the main image of the lyrics. If we look at scientific sources, the origin of life is the sea, and human survival cannot be separated from the sea or water. Some people say that human settlements, organizational structures and social systems are inseparable from the sea. The sea gives us the concept of boundlessness, vastness and infinity: when human beings feel their own infinity in the infinity of the sea, they Be inspired to have the courage to transcend everything that is limited. This is a sociological perspective. Some people say that human life comes from the sea. The ever-growing ocean has artistic connotations that are fully integrated with human beings. The sea not only created human life, but also created the perfect and beautiful human body, whether male or female. Women, just in terms of the structure and proportion of the human body, every detail and every curve is Dahai's most proud work! This is an artistic point of view. Confucius said: "Those who know (wise) are happy in water, and those who are benevolent are happy in mountains." ("The Analects of Confucius, Yongye") The ancients said, "What is water? The origin of all things, the clan of all living beings, the good and the evil, the virtuous and the foolish and handsome. Produced." This is an ethical and moral point of view. And our lyrics say, "The sea is my hometown." Hometown is like the sea, simile, the sea is hometown, metaphor, using the sea to connect with hometown is an emotional connection and the sustenance of hometown feelings.
Speaking of hometown, it is a metaphor for the sea. Hometown is a very meaningful image, sometimes like a looming mist in people's memory. The feelings and things, people and objects in hometown have irreplaceable significance in everyone's life course. She is the way people's lives exist. The feeling of homesickness is a long thread in people's hearts, which is as long as life. Dreaming of returning to your hometown, the feeling of returning your soul to your hometown, comes from human beings and the fear of life. The Russian poet Yesenin once wrote a poem: "Go find your hometown! If you can find it, you will win. If you can't find it, everything will be in vain! Without hometown, there will be no poet." Yes, hometown will be engraved in people's hearts with its slippery melody. In my mind, without too many words or too many confessions, I conquered people in such a civilized and lyrical way.
Finally, I should talk about mother. Mother is a concentrated metaphor of the sea and hometown. His mother's life should be the origin of his hometown. The lyrics use "Born by the sea and long in the sea". Human beings' dependence on the sea is exactly their attachment to their mothers. Mother's care is to let you fly and go on your own life path, and mother's nurturing grace is the pillar of your spirit and the source of life no matter where you go. Therefore, it is deep kindness that follows me everywhere. This is the first chant. The attachment of a big tree to its roots and the nostalgia of a child for its mother are eternal. The thread in the hands of a loving mother, the clothes on a wanderer's body, no matter where you go, are like a kite. The flying kite always relies on the flying thread. The relationship between the kite and the thread is just like the relationship between mother and me. This is the second aria, "Go to the end of the world and you will always be by my side."
We have said above separately that we have actually clarified the inner connection between the three images. This is the novel and unique idea of ??this lyrics: the sea is a metaphor for hometown, and the sea and hometown are metaphors for mother. An image transitions into a group of images to form an organic whole.
Now we should appreciate the emotional expression in the image. We say that if we want to make the image have a distinctive personality and strong lyricism, the better way is to use powerful and representative details in the lyrics. In the poem, "Born by the sea, long in the sea" describes the growth of life, highlighting its nurturing grace; "The sea breeze blows, the waves surge, and I drift in all directions" to write a word of love, highlighting that I am not in front of my hometown and mother. A hasty passer-by, but an eternal return. In this sunny land of mine, there are long-haired poets chanting true feelings, kind-hearted old people cherishing the vicissitudes of life, the intimacy of care from hometown folks, and the milk of mother’s nurturing. Such a feeling. It is the eternity of human beings. Look at those wanderers who work tirelessly to return home from thousands of miles away. Aren't they just affected by a word of love? I will also keep moving forward along the path of affection illuminated by the sun! Of course, the expression of these emotions cannot be separated from metaphors. The previous text has already mentioned it, so let us savor the lyrics carefully: "The sea, the sea, just like my mother, travels to the ends of the world, always by my side." If we talk about arias, this should be the third aria.
A lyric can so cleverly and organically integrate a group of images into a whole, and it can also sing three verses in one, a soulful chant, which can push the emotion to emotional, affectionate, and deep feelings. Therefore, what people always whisper in their ears is "the sea, my hometown, the sea, my hometown, my hometown, my hometown."
The song was composed in 1983 and is the theme song of the TV movie "The Sea Is Calling". ---The composer of "Ocean, My Hometown" is also the author of various songs in "A Dream of Red Mansions". He is also Wang Liping. The lyrics begin with "My mother told me when I was a child", and the whole text is simple and affectionate, like recounting family life. The music is simple and friendly, with a range of only nine degrees, a gentle melody, and a beautiful sound. Although the song uses a 3/4 beat, it does not stick to the usual strong and weak rhythm of this beat, but uses techniques such as segmentation and dots to make it infinitely varied. The song structure is very concise, excluding the repetitive parts, there are only four phrases before and after: the first two phrases are simple and narrative, while the last two phrases are profound and meaningful, showing the protagonist's deep longing for the sea, hometown and mother. The songs are easy to understand and the style is elegant.
