2022 Retro Wenqing Fake Songlist (James Brother Version)

Humans invented the compound form of "poetry" very early. Abstract melodies interpret meanings through lyrics, and when words are still unfinished, they are entwined by sounds as emotions. Listeners are more willing to spin their emotions, encode them in the gap between poetry and songs, and suppress them as personal memories of the times.

🎧 The DJ for this playlist is: @James Brother( James)

(Introduce 5 classic Cantonese and English songs, and write the reasons for recommendation)

Once I read his post, introducing the theme song of the French film "La Boum" (La Boum): Reality (1980) , and then I saw the naive Sophie Marceau in the film, wow, that's really too late What is the age of pure love involved! (Excuse my shameless pretense).

In short, at that time, I decided that I wanted to invite James Brother to recommend to young people under the age of 29.9 , the classic songs that are too late to participate, but should not be missed . I wonder how young citizens will feel when they hear these songs, Invite them to write down their thoughts.

📀 Leslie Cheung: Monica (1984)

Recommended reason :

Leslie Cheung is the internet owner's favorite male singer

"Monica" is Leslie Cheung's famous work. With this song, he won the annual "Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs" and "Top Ten Golden Songs" for the first time. The lyrics are the true love story of the lyricist Peter Li, and he wrote it with fast songs. Love Song.

🎧 "Monica" MV is a classic, the filming location has changed beyond recognition, the dancers performed with all their might, and with his brother's unique dance, Leslie Cheung sang the award-winning song live in the "Golden Song Awards Ceremony". Wearing colorful dance clothes and waving cheerleading balls has become a collective memory of fans.

@WorkgirlJennifer screaming after listening🎵

 What to do, I only have one thought after watching the MV, Leslie Cheung is so handsome, I'm going crazy! The look of Monica and the dancer is so exaggerated and fashionable, especially the leopard print one.

Enthusiastic citizens @尤蜜荟Feelings after listening🎵

 "Monica" is an avant-garde melody and very magical song. It was placed in the popular Disco style at that time and now has a psychedelic music style with dancers' movements. It is very similar to the process of men pursuing women's courtship in early Hong Kong films. But the whole thing brings out the popular clothes of the time, which makes people have a strong memory of the song and MV that will never be forgotten after watching it once. Monica still has the sense of nonsensical and psychedelic avant-garde of Taiwanese independent bands.

💿Beyond: Like You (1987)

Recommended reason :

Beyond is the net owner's favorite music group

"Like You" is a piece written by the late singer Wong Ka Kui to his ex-girlfriend. He wrote the music and wrote the lyrics himself.

One of the lyrics of "Like You", "It's hard to be free in love with her ," has become an unsolved erroneous word of the century and has aroused heated discussions.

🎧 Although "I Like You" did not win any music awards that year, it is a classic in the minds of many fans. Deng Ziqi's cover of "Like You" was very popular, but it couldn't surpass the original song.

Enthusiastic citizens @MotonokiaAfter listening🎵

 Do you listen to "Like You", is it for yourself or for Jiaju? You can't find yourself in yourself, so let the sound of the xylophone be your guide, pulling a mess of thoughts into a river. But you didn't expect that Jiaju was still young when he made this song. I'm afraid he's younger than you are now, and he's far less than you when his head is full of unreasonable thoughts. So you like you, just let the singing make a hole in your head, insert the positive and negative electrodes into the skull, and turn on the electricity in just three minutes, hoping to turn the lump of liquid in your head into hydrogen and oxygen.

Enthusiastic citizens @youyuheAfter listening to it🎵

 The musical prelude and Beyond's singing present a lonely atmosphere, and even if you don't understand Cantonese, you can feel the bitterness of emotion.

📀Chen Huixian: Night Machine (1989)

Recommended reason :

Chen Huixian is the net owner's favorite female singer

"Night Machine" is a German adaptation of the song , which was rare in the Hong Kong music scene at that time.

Chen Huixian won the "Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs" with the two songs "A Thousand Thousand Que Song" and "Night Machine", which made her music career reach a peak.

🎧 "Night Machine" is a tailor-made song for Chen Huixian to bid farewell to the music world, and it is also a portrayal of her feelings .

Enthusiastic citizens @林宇Feel after listening🎵

 The first impression is that it is really a very retro song. It is older than me. Because it is a Cantonese song, I have read the lyrics a few times before I understand. , seems to imply that although the sorrow is strong at this time, the long night will eventually pass.

@Joanna XDDD Feeling after listening 🎵

 I like the original version of "So Viele Lieder Sind In Mir" by a West German female singer. Although I don't understand the lyrics, I think it's kind of chic.

The night machine is so boring! (regardless of lyrics or singing)
Listening to this song on a rainy day is too torturous 😂 (Is this feeling too crooked), and now I have no feelings for resentment XDDD

💿Chen Baiqiang: Ripple (1982)

Recommended reason :

"Ripple" was composed by the late singer-songwriter Chen Baiqiang himself.

"Ripple" is Chen Baiqiang's second award-winning song.

🎧 There is a touching love story behind this song: Weng Jingjing revealed that the song "Ripple" was a love song that Danny gave her back then, and the words "quiet" and "hundred" were even hidden in the lyrics.

The lyrics of "Ripple" were mistaken, which caused heated discussion among fans.

Enthusiastic citizens @尤蜜荟Feelings after listening🎵

 In the love song, I heard Chen Baiqiang cry, and I think the rendering power of the song is very powerful👍. The singer's way of interpreting is sincere and gentle narration, but it is full of emotion but slowly narrated, like a person telling his life in front of you, especially with the soundtrack of the cello and piano at the end, it makes the listener enter the world of the song and make people feel Feel the grief and the heartache of passing away.

📀Anita Mui: Red Doubt (1983)

Recommended reason :

Anita Mui won the annual "Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs" and "Top Ten Strong Song Golden Songs" for the first time with "Red Doubt".

This song is the theme song of the Hong Kong version of the Japanese TV series "Blood Doubt", which also became a sensation in Hong Kong and mainland China.

🎧 "Red Doubt" is superb both in lyrics and singing skills. It is also applicable to describe some of the lyrics in Hong Kong today . Many singers have sung "Red Doubt", but no one can surpass the original song.

Enthusiastic citizens @sesame cat after listening🎵

 The magnetic female singer sings endless vicissitudes and affection with her unique voice.

Enthusiastic citizens @youyuheAfter listening to it🎵

 There are similarities with the popular Taiwanese songs in Taiwan. The song narrates the bitter talk of a woman's tragic urban life. Just the prelude and Anita Mui's accent make people stay in the outdoor area of a tavern by the port, holding a wine bottle in hand and looking at the sea. The ebb and flow of the tide and the sigh and realization of the world.

Enthusiastic citizens @關石化Feelings after listening🎵

 I have to say, because I'm not from that era, and I don't even know Anita Mui, so the first time I heard this song, I didn't have much emotion, I just thought it was flat, isn't it a normal love song?

However, I still have to praise Anita Mui's singing skills first, I really like it.

OK, to the point. I listened to it several times, but I still don't understand what the song title "Red Doubt" means, so I checked some information, and I was shocked to realize that the lyrics are so powerful, it seems to be "inner stalks"!

Even if you tell me that the lyrics are not alluding to anything, when I hear this song again, I still can't go back, I still think of Hong Kong.

Sure enough, love, hatred, and sadness grow over time...
All I can say is come on!

How did the "Hong Kong flavor" in the minds of Taiwanese come about?

Beginning in 1982, " Chu Liuxiang " achieved astonishing ratings in Taiwan, which was still under martial law at the time. At that time, Hong Kong's cultural industry (Hong Kong films, Hong Kong dramas, Cantonese pop music) gradually developed and exported overseas. With Taiwan's announcement in 1987 that martial law was lifted Therefore, Cantonese culture is even more popular in Taiwan. Just imagine the generation born in the 1980s, until the handover of Hong Kong in 1997, from childhood to adulthood, in the past 20 years, I have witnessed how many classic Hong Kong stars have been sought after. memory.

After the recent "reverse extradition", the gold award winner Hong Kong star Huang Qiusheng intends to settle in Taiwan, and plays a healing massage therapist in the TV drama "Paradise on the Fourth Floor" (2021). " This generation" who regarded Huang Qiusheng as an idol when he was young, if he becomes a crew member now, he will be able to film together with idols he was familiar with when he was young, and his excitement is beyond words.

In fact , the heroine Xie Yingxuan (1979~), who played the role of a counseling psychologist, was once so stressed that she wanted to resign.

🧡💛 Let's listen to the classic English love songs of the 1980s~

💿Barbra Streisand: Woman in Love (1980)

Recommended reason :

"Woman in Love" was hailed as the most successful song by American singer Barbra Streisand, and it topped the US Billboard pop chart for three consecutive weeks.

The song was composed by Barry Gibb, a member of the famous British group Bee Gees, with lyrics by Robin Gibb.

🎧 Although the English lyrics of "Woman in Love" are simple, the meaning expressed is not easy to understand, and there can be different interpretations. Many Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, including Jenny, Zheng Xiuwen, SHE and Huang Yingying have also sung this song, but no one can surpass the original singing.

Enthusiastic citizens @尤蜜荟Feelings after listening🎵

 I really like Barbra's high-pitched voice, which is similar to showing a woman who is in love and unable to extricate herself. The chorus in the back section makes the song clear, and then pushes the emotion to a wave, which strongly expresses the woman's desire and need for love.

📀Richard Sanderson: Reality (1980)

Recommended reason :

British singer Richard Sanderson became popular in Europe and Asia with this song, and "Reality" became the champion of pop charts in 15 countries around the world.

This song is the theme song of the French film "La Boum", and it is also the debut of French film star Sophie Marcean.

🎧The lyrics of "Reality" are like a poem with many rhyming words. The lyrics "Dreams are my reality" and "real fantasy" both use the rhetoric of "paradox" to describe the feeling of love, fantasy, and true love.

Enthusiastic citizens @林宇Feel after listening🎵

 Another old song, OwO. Actually, I rarely listen to songs from the 80s, so it's really hard to tell what I think. But I really like the lyrics. At first I thought it was a love at first sight story, but I sing "Dreams are my reality", "I try to live in"
 dreams”, “I dream of loving in the night”, and found that it was actually talking about unrequited love, and even whether the girl who appeared in the dream really existed (“If you do exist Honey don’t resist”), let me The more one listens, the more uncertain it becomes. Rather than talking about love, I think this is a song about longing for love.

💿 Lionel Richie: Hello (1984)

Recommended reason :

"Hello" is the first famous song by African American singer-songwriter Lionel Richie. He arranged the lyrics and won the top spot on the US Billboard pop chart for six consecutive weeks that year.

At that time, many male fans used "Hello" as a love song and successfully proposed to their lover.

"Hello, is it me you're looking for?" became an immortal lyric.

🎧 "Hello" MV is a classic. Actor Laura Carrington plays a blind man. She sculpts a work of art with Lionel Richie's head.

Enthusiastic citizens @MotonokiaAfter listening🎵

 He played an Am to A key, which was a common technique, but you didn't even notice it. Maybe I have left the youthful years of making music as my ambition, and I have long since allowed myself to be touched by music, but this is just thinking about it in my head, and I feel ashamed to say it. Who knows now, suddenly think of those Sus4, Sus7, Major 7, and in the blink of an eye throws you into the time when you used to play jazz chords.

If you want to learn guitar, please find teacher Xiao Ke (a man who has studied for eight years in order to play the guitar Qingda material). Next time you meet him, please ask him for me, did you get a diploma?

💿George Benson: Nothing's Gonna Change My Love for You (1985)

Recommended reason:

African-American singer George Benson performed very well, making fans intoxicated by his wonderful singing. This song was not a big hit back then, but it has become a classic in the hearts of many fans.

🎧 A love song when the net owner showed his love to his girlfriend (now his wife). The title of the song hits the nail on the head, and the content of the lyrics is very fleshy, which is very suitable for showing love. The melody of the song is very pleasant and beautiful.

Enthusiastic citizens @尤蜜荟Feelings after listening🎵

 This classic song, for me, is one of the representative songs of childhood English songs. The song is no longer just about love, but about family and friendship, narrating a person's love and loyalty to another person for a lifetime. It is also the most memorable song among many love songs, and it is still so popular even today.

(The singing version is very affectionate, but some people love the original MTV version)

@WorkgirlJenniferPuffy smile after listening🎵

 I chose this song simply because Fang Datong's version is good enough. I know I'm being rude, but it's really hard to imagine Benson spending almost four minutes standing next to the half-faced white woman on the plane talking to the half-faced Caucasian woman I'm that woman or the driver really can't bear to laugh at. But the song is very romantic. If my boyfriend sings to me well, he can get married on the spot. 🥰

📀 Wham!: Careless Whisper (1984)

Recommended reason :

"Careless Whisper" is the first song of the British group Wham!, which was composed by lead singer George Michael and lyrics by group member Andrew Ridgeley.

"Careless Whisper" has many repeated performances of famous saxophone songs, which left a deep impression on fans.

🎧At that time, three Hong Kong singers competed to adapt this song, creating triplets. Among them, Anita Mui and Cai Guoquan's Guangdong versions were very popular.

Enthusiastic citizens @sesame cat after listening🎵

 As soon as the opening saxophone sounded, the familiar melody and sexy voice brought the audience into an intoxicating dance.

Enthusiastic citizens @關石化Feelings after listening🎵

 I have heard this song, and it started with the classic saxophone song, but I can no longer enjoy the beauty normally, and I was really "poisoned" by the Youtuber too deeply? (often referred to as sound effects)

But it is still undeniable that George Michael sings very emotionally, and the lyrics also perfectly write the mood of the male protagonist from a first-person perspective......

Well, maybe the male protagonist regrets it very much. He really likes the main palace, but... he still can't control his lower body, and he is still very scum.

In other words, when Zheng Gong's girlfriend saw another "girlfriend" in the MV, the expression was astonishing as expected.

But the picture that came to my mind was the bloody eight o'clock picture of two girlfriends fighting...

❑ Editor-in-chief postscript:

Why do people like to make lists of preferences?

Like a roll call, afraid of being missed? I forgot the ten most important songs, ten books, ten movies, ten memories.... When I was the weakest and most stuck, I was pulled back by a catcher in the wheat field on the edge of a cliff. Bundle......

A generation will eventually pass, but the spirit is entrusted to the works of art, which survived in place of people and passed on their hearts to Yiren.

💕Special thanks to the young (sense) citizens for their enthusiastic feedback after listening🎵
