"Love * * * and the Country", also known as "Life and death are up to me, and my lover loves you", is a song written by Liu and composed and sung by Liu Weiguang. The song was written on 1988, and it is the theme song of the TV series Love with the Country. 20 19 June, the song was selected as "100 Excellent Songs Celebrating the 70th Anniversary of People's Republic of China (PRC)".
1998, the planner of the TV series Love with China invited Liu Fa to write the theme song for the film. At the beginning of creation, Liu first tried to write a lyric, which was composed by Liu Weiguang and sung by Bel Canto, and was quickly recorded as a demo.
Although the demo sounds good, both Liu and Liu Weiguang think that the first draft of the song does not match the ideological tone of the feature film, and there is a gap with ordinary TV viewers, so they decided to start a new stove.
Later, while watching the TV series Love with China, Liu was moved by the dedication of scientists and was soon inspired to re-write the lyrics. After the lyrics were written, composer Liu Weiguang decided to use western art songs and China folk tunes to construct this song, which successfully ended the composition work.
Love between * * * and the country is a simple two-stage style with reproducibility. The first four phrases are simple, elegant and calm, and the tunes are interlocking and reciprocating. "You love me, I love you", such as overseas. After jumping an octave, the melody of the second paragraph turned into passionate praise, "I won't leave you even if it rains or blows", and I always maintained restrained emotional tension in the majestic momentum.
"When the world smiles at me, I am in your tears", and the melody returns to its original state and becomes more stable, in which the deep feeling is more sincere, which is like a surprise in the listener's heart after the rain. The tune of the song implies the backbone sequence and melody line of Chinese folk music. At the same time, it also has the simple poetry of western music and classical art songs, interweaves the light of Chinese and western music culture, and is full of simple and meaningful spirituality.
