My Father's Prose Poetry is a cooperative work with the famous poet Dong. It was performed live in the variety show "The King of Poetry".
The poet abstracted the fragments from his father's diary into words, and Xu Fei, who was deeply moved, carefully composed the music for him, connecting the deep affection and responsibility of his father to his children with the notes, and the helpless interpretation of his children after realizing that his father was getting old with the passage of time. After the live performance, the audience and netizens burst into tears.
Xu Fei, who has been obsessed with this song for a long time, took Father's Day as an opportunity, rearranged the recording, and released the time version of "Prose Poems Written by Father".
The whole song has no flowery rhetoric, but the most real life scene description: "I didn't have time to watch the open-air movie today, and my wife reminded me to repair the pedal of the sewing machine." "I'm going to borrow some money from my neighbor's house tomorrow. The child cried all day and clamored for cookies."
The unpretentious writing touches people's hearts, but it is a big challenge for composers. Xu Fei is most concerned about what kind of rhythm is used to make his love more full and sincere.
When talking about this song, Xu Fei said, "This is a song that can be recited. I can't say which moves me more, recitation or singing! Because everyone lives so sincerely, I am afraid of music with obvious sensational intentions now.
It's hard to force others to shed embarrassing tears. I hope I shed tears, because we already know each other and become kind. Finally, Xu Fei created a unique "sensing" style with her best guitar and warm and clean voice.
The music started, and the scene in "My Father's Diary" appeared in front of the audience, as if looking at a photo that turned yellow with the passage of time.
