Come on, take me away, leave this air-polluted earth.
Let's go, take me away, and leave this noisy life.
Because of the black smoke all over the sky, it corroded my dream; Because of the war, I will have no friends.
Don't ask for a porch, a crown, and don't be imprisoned by this world of mortals.
Take me to the moon where the air is thin.
Take me to the moon full of primitive holes.
Take me to the moon, gravity tease you and me, struggle in the desert, see Chang 'e.
But I want to turn my back on the earth and pin my hopes on the whole universe.
Come on, take me away, and watch me walk through the stars in vain.
Come on, take me with you. I love lying on the pavilion drunk.
Dare not laugh at the five continents, nor worry about the world;
Just a crazy song, melting into infinity in a trance.
Don't stop drinking, life is just a big dream.
Ha, oh, can you bring my violin? Ah! Thank you.
Look at my pupils. Can we still burn fireworks?
Look at my smile. Do I still have myself?
The first quarter moon, let me be swallowed up by the eclipse.
Song appreciation Tom Chang is a person who wants to do his best and is ready to surpass himself at any time. His musical tentacles are not immersed in love in a narrow sense, but touch some big aspects more widely, such as environmental protection, peace and human existence. This is very rare for a singer who is engaged in the creation of pop songs. Among his songs, the most representative one should be Take Me to the Moon. Yu Sheng is full of imagination in his songs, and he criticizes human problems in environmental protection and human nature through his longing for the moon, and a violin solo in the song shows the author's talent. First of all, several knocks similar to those in an empty valley show the quiet environment on the moon. Then, the singer yawned and woke up from a big dream. He couldn't help but be elated and shouted: Bring my violin! Then an exciting piano music broke out, and the singer used this music to express the joy of leaving the secular world and coming to the moon.
Listening to music in my early years just regarded it as a song criticizing environmental pollution. At that time, I liked the sentence "Can you bring my violin?" I think it's particularly cute. That was the first time I found that music can be so wanton and High.
Later, I listened to more music for the rest of my life. I thought I felt his unique talent, and I thought I understood the profound rhyme in his lyrics. Looking back at this song that I loved very much in those years, I will admire Yu Sheng's writing skill.
"Because the black smoke in the sky ruined my dream, because I will soon have no friends in the war, and I will not be imprisoned by this world of mortals."
-Is this black smoke that erodes dreams just air pollution created by industrial society? Maybe I think too much, but in the face of Yu Sheng's lyrics, it is more appropriate to think too much than to think less.
"Take me to the moon with thin air, the moon full of primitive holes, and the moon with frivolous gravity."
-These words are very interesting. At first glance, they are all common words in vernacular Chinese, but they always give people the illusion of ancient Chinese. Although they express very modern scientific common sense.
"Take me away, watch me waste time, climb the starry sky and take me away. I love to lie on the pavilions and make love drunk, and I dare not laugh at the five continents or worry about the world. I just sing a crazy song and melt into infinity in a trance."
-I love this word very much, but it is quaint and not crude. Although many classics are used, even if you don't understand these allusions, it won't affect your understanding of the meaning of the song. Knowing the source of allusions, you may even sigh that Yu Sheng dabbled in ancient Chinese.
"Life is just a big dream."
I liked this sentence very much in my early years, because I always loved Li Bai. I was born useful and talented, but I took him back too early.
"See if my pupils are still burning with fireworks, and see if my smile still keeps me."
Hehe, Yusheng's pursuit of self is consistent, stubborn and persistent.
The lyrics of the rest of my life can be published as poems if they are taken out separately. Especially this one, the echo between words is very neat, so we should wash it carefully.
I'm not sure I understand the real intention of Yusheng's song, but the more I listen to it, the more I think it should be more than just a simple appeal for environmental protection or an anti-war voice. I like listening to this song together with my desire to open the whole sky. Probably because I am dissatisfied with the earth (or the present society) and those repressed * * *, I want to turn my back on the earth or simply open the whole sky and reshape a brand-new ideal world.
