Impact on the public
The spirit of a generation inspires the youth of a generation ... Mr. Gu Cheng wrote such a poem: The night gave me black eyes, but I used it to find light. I don't know why, when I was writing about Ka Kui and transcendence, I suddenly remembered such a poem, the name of which was "Generation". I don't know when the concept came into being in the 1970s. So who was the spiritual idol of pop music in the 1970s? Tayu Lo and Cui Jian? It is undeniable that their influence is enormous and far-reaching, but they have a greater impact on people born in the late 1960s to the mid-1970s. But throughout the 1970s, it was Ka Kui Wong and others he led who really influenced people.
His songs, like Judas and Cui Jian, recorded our true and vivid youth. Perhaps by accident or necessity, 1983- 1993, surpassing the most active time of the band, happens to be the critical period for the growth of people born in 1970- 1979. BEYOND conquered the hearts of this generation with extraordinary musical spirit. Their music is mainly rock and roll, and they express their feelings directly with melodious songs. Their lyrics have a wide range of themes, but they are all positive. Even love songs have a grand atmosphere.
Power. At that time, pop music was pure, with no publicity fees and no gossip. Music spreads between records and radio stations, among fans, and its influence on individuals adds up one by one, spreading into a group, spreading to the whole place where there are Chinese, and spreading to the whole era. At that time, our youth was like the song of Ka Kui, intense and restrained, confident and tragic. Too many people's life trajectories have changed because of hearing Ka Kui's songs, and we can't count them. They changed the public's view of pop music. Twenty years ago, a brand-new rock band appeared in a record called Hong Kong. Its name is BEYOND, and the name of the band explains the meaning of its existence-transcendence. In these 20 years, they have surpassed too many things. In short, they have transcended time and influenced the trend. When BEYOND's voice came into our ears
Before the movie, we all thought that rock music was only the patent of a few people. In the eyes of the public, rock music must be noisy, different and unpleasant, but they changed this. They convey the same humanity, atmosphere and profound content with beautiful melodies that are easy to spread. On the other hand, their appearance has injected ideas into Hong Kong music scene and humanistic spirit into pop music. Thus changing the public's view of pop music, which was decadent before,
This is a street song. BEYOND makes people realize that pop music can also express their feelings and serve the country and people.
Like other bands, most of BEYOND's lyrics were produced by Ka Kui Wong and other members. They seldom write songs for others, because their songs suit them best. In his early works, he mainly expressed his ideals and anger at reality, but this anger is direct, but not low. Other works also directly express their concern for the world and their yearning for a better life. They are responsible musicians. It is this sense of responsibility that attracts most people's attention.
* * * Ming, in the Hong Kong music scene of love, their works are particularly atmospheric and have cultural connotations. As for the part of love songs, it is also affectionate, but careful analysis does not pay much attention to building deep sentences, and those direct emotional expressions are more touching. For example, Cold Rainy Night and Like You. Later, some lyrics with irony and banter began to appear, which expanded another direction for them. Among other lyricists, BEYOND cooperated with the lyricist Liu Zhuohui the most frequently, and he wrote many popular songs, such as The Good Earth, such as Gray Trajectory, such as Lover, such as Farmers. Liu Zhuohui's lyrics are close to BEYOND's music in temperament and become BEYOND's lyrics, adding deeper rational thinking besides anger, ridicule and care. Throughout BEYOND's lyrics in Jiaju period, there are memories of old footprints, ideals of waiting forever, affection, love, love for you, patriotism, Cang Sang's "Midnight Complaint", concern for Armani, and "Humanistic Days of Our Life" and "Teasing". There are angry "heads" ... but their lyrics do not give people a dazzling feeling, because their spirit is unified, no matter how the content changes, it is still an inspiring force. Some people say that transcendence is the "main theme" of Hong Kong, which is no exaggeration. BEYOND's performance beyond the language barrier has always been high in KTV's click list. In the past 20 years, new songs and new people have emerged one after another, but this situation has never changed. Because their songs are the best to sing. No matter in the south or the north, wherever there are China people, they are singing "Really Love You" and "Broad Sky". Because in the history of China pop music, they are the first team to break through the language barrier with music. If Hong Kong dramas have formed a preliminary understanding of canto pop in Chinese mainland, the widespread spread of BEYOND songs in Chinese mainland is undoubtedly the main reason for deepening the influence of Cantonese songs in Chinese mainland. The charm of BEYOND music makes too many people who don't know Cantonese begin to pay attention to Cantonese songs and make them realize that there is another dialect in the south that is more suitable for pop music. Their melodies are easy to accept and are in harmony with Cantonese phonology. The power contained in music is also exciting. Although many people may not fully understand the meaning of BEYOND's lyrics, they can sing along with the music from beginning to end. Because those spirits are connected, they transcend language barriers and even music itself. In the vast land of the motherland, more and more people like their music. Since then,
Only with the Four Heavenly Kings did people begin to accept more canto pop, and BEYOND played a key role in the spread of canto pop in the whole Chinese-speaking area.
