The first time I listened to Nan Shan Nan written by Ma Di, I thought of the Green Mausoleum on the cypress tree, which was one of the nineteen ancient poems. There was a saying that "life between heaven and earth is like a passer-by". Later generations often care about the image of travel, but miss the helplessness contained in the word "suddenly". But for a moment, my mind only left traces, leaving nothing in front of me.
"Travel again" in Nineteen Ancient Poems is even more vivid:
You walk, walk, walk all the time, thus separating your life from mine. Since then, you and I have traveled thousands of miles, I am in heaven, and you are in heaven. It's a long way to Xiu Yuan, and it will be safe. North Malaysia is still attached to the north wind, south birds fly north, and nest in the south branch.
Humayue is a bird, and the north wind goes south. Speaking of it, isn't it the beginning of Nanshan?
You are in the sunny south, with heavy snow.
My cold nights in the north are like spring all the year round.
Far apart, time and space are reversed, behind which is your "two lovesickness, two ignorance".
According to Ma Di, it took Nan Shannan about three years from Generation to Call it a Day. During the period, the words and flowing piano sound accumulated into stories imperceptibly.
In the MV, the so-called story is more fully presented. Childhood friends play together, accompanied by adults playing and listening, suggesting that a missed love has been repaired in a disrupted timeline. A careful study of the lyrics corresponding to each picture will produce a profound ignorance.
The childhood scene is Ma Di's voice saying, "If I can get there before dark, I will forget your eyes, and I will never finish a dream."
As soon as the camera turned, Ma Di played the guitar, and Li Xinyun, a high school goddess, sat and smiled intently. It sounds like the lyrics are "He no longer talks about the isolated island where he met, because his heart has long been deserted." From affection to sadness, it is just fleeting and difficult to explain.
Tony. The appearance of S and Yao in the middle seems to be an external force, which embodies Ma Yi's feeling of "nothing to do with sadness". As for the sampling of Zhou Xuan's Four Seasons Song, the vibration of the picture and the children's voice in the chorus emphasize the aestheticism of memory and the regret of reality.
Not long ago, in the program "The Voice of China", Zhang Lei, a student, reported Nan Shannan. It can be interpreted warmly and smoothly, because without the front of children's songs, it is inevitable to be thin. In contrast, the original version of Ma Di is full of deep disappointment and confusion: the end of the world is short, a corner of the sea, once in love, in exchange for a beat and two scattered. And if you can't hold your fingers, the tighter you hold them, the more futile you will be, and where will you go?
In the eyes of fans, Ma Ying is first and foremost a poet. If the rewriting of ancient poetry is not obvious, the moving parts of the lyrics are also faintly discernible.
For example, "He says you are not as beautiful as when you first met you", which is like "Spring breeze is not as beautiful as your smile, and people who have never seen you will not understand".
For example, the "Island" mentioned twice in the song, which is also the title of the album, may also use john donne's sermon quoted by Hemingway in For Whom the Bell Tolls. As for "there is a grain pile in the south" and "there is a tombstone in the north", it is a classic rhetoric of prosperity and decline.
But it doesn't hurt. Because, Ma Di made a long-lost attempt to inject the present life into the eternal literary motif with a language close to poetry.
Love will never stop, and people have their own moments. "If all the land is connected together, just to hold you for a lifetime" will be more lingering, and "Drunk in a dream, good night" will be heartbreaking.
South mountain south, North sea north, when you appreciate my cold, I will miss your tenderness. Even if it is a long dream that the four seasons are like spring, I hope I will always be drunk and never wake up.
It's a pity that big dreams have to wake up first, and this life is ridiculous. Then let me forget your eyes before sadness and whispers come. It's like you've never appeared, but you're buried deep in my heart.
