“Acacia” is a very rare song. One of the rare things about it is that it connects ancient poetry and songs well, especially the connection is particularly natural. With the singer’s hoarse voice, one can’t help but feel that the singer is like a poet’s confidant, as if the singer is the person who understands the poet best.The phrase “Red Bean Born in the South” has long been heard countless times and has haunted my ears many times. I have never been able to understand what “Red Bean Born in the South” stands for?
Now, I’m ashamed to say that I probably understand that “Red Bean Born in the South” is also about feelings such as love, emotion, and affection.
The first sentence, “Hongdou was born in the South, which is a very distant thing.” This sentence serves as the beginning and brilliantly leads to the poem. From the second sentence to the ninth sentence, it describes very much my current emotional state. This “emotional world” is like the city and love, like Eason Chan’s “Ten Years”: Ten years ago, I didn’t know you, you didn’t belong to me, and we still accompany around strangers, walking through gradually familiar streets; Ten years later, we are friends, and we can still greet each other, but that kind of tenderness can no longer find a reason to embrace. This lyric has a larger picture, while the second to ninth sentences of “Acacia” are more specific and transparent, depicting the details, complex, and situation of love I have experienced over the past decade vividly.
In fact, I personally do not want to make a “comparison” because each has its own circumstances, and the emotional meaning and realm of expression are also different; The “contrast” I make in the article is just a kind of association, experiencing the taste and emotional expression in the two songs, which may be the original intention of my “contrast”~
“When I see again that” spring is coming again and red beans are blooming, but I don’t see a lover picking fireworks and embracing romantic love. “My mood at this moment is a little shattered, because there are always some people waiting silently for another person, and there will always be someone who meets another person” as if nothing had happened “or” accidentally “on the occasion. However, the person I want to meet has disappeared due to various” reasons “, which is more like” Walking Left to Right “in a concrete way.”. In fact, the outcome I expected is more like the outcome of “One Page Taipei”. It is difficult to say whether the two people will fall in love, but the peaceful and relaxed way is what I intended and expected.
Although the ending of “Xinhua Lufang” may be similar to the heart journey of so-and-so, I believe that it is also a kind of happiness. Forrest Gump’s love, I cannot understand, because it is “a case in point”, not universal; Gatsby’s love is also a “case in point”. It is a dream, a fairy tale, a deeply buried “silent confession” that can be triggered at any moment. Although there are wild and open waves, it is only a corner. Not everyone will cry when watching “Take My Brother Away” (movie version). Although this story has nothing to do with love, how much of this “little happiness” in life?
I know that “Thousand and Thousand Seeks”, “Five Centimeters per Second”, “Your Name”, “Fragrance”, “Divine Comedy” Flower Dance “, and” Luv Letter “are also related to love, but I don’t want to write some of their words because I know that some people have already written them, and the writing is very moving and exciting.
Back to the lyrics of “Spring Comes Again, I See Red Beans Blooming, But I Don’t See A Lover Picking Fireworks, Holding Wind, The True Love Is Not There”. “When I think of the saying, ‘Since ancient times, routines have won people’s hearts, but true feelings cannot be retained.'” I gradually realized the true meaning of this popular online phrase. “.
When I mentioned Mao Amin, I had many feelings, especially my grandfather, who was from the 1930s. When I was a student, I would sit beside the TV and watch CCTV News and Weather Forecast with my grandfather every time I returned home, as well as programs about Qin Opera. The most impressive one was Man and Nature. Every weekend night, I would wash my feet in a hurry and then sit by my grandfather’s bed, Watching “Man and Nature” with him is always an exciting moment. Whenever there is a variety show during the Spring Festival, such as “Quyuan Zatan”, my grandfather always asks, “Is that the person on that show Mao Amin?” I say, “No, that’s Ni Ping.” My grandfather then goes on to talk about many hosts on CCTV variety shows. Grandpa also always said, “Nowadays, people sing too hard to listen to. Singing is like reciting the lyrics, and there is no enjoyment of beauty. His favorite songs are traditional folk songs, such as those of the era of Yang Hongji and Li Guyi.”.
I probably don’t remember how many times my grandfather and I sat next to the TV and watched TV, and he would always ask me, “Is that Mao Amin who sings?” Perhaps in my perception, my grandfather believes that as a female singer, Mao Amin is the standard, and she is a model and representative. Although my grandfather still listens to Qin Opera every day and chats with old acquaintances on the street, he can’t forget the three words Mao Amin. At least when I write, I feel that the words are very neat and artistic. Sometimes when I read and write in front of him, I was afraid that he would see it, because every time he came to see how well my handwriting was written, he would say, “You see, your handwriting is too small, not atmospheric, and not promising.” Then I looked at it for a few seconds, and then I would say, “Write that character larger!” In my opinion, in addition to the factors of Grandpa’s eyesight, it is more like professional guidance. “I believe my grandfather is also quite knowledgeable about writing. He has demonstrated writing many times. Looking back, I would feel that buying calligraphy and writing materials from the academy gate is not of much significance or value.”. Of course, what I think is the emotional part, but after that? It is rational judgment and dispassionate analysis of the reasons behind it.
The loyalty and perseverance of ancient Chinese people to love is beyond the reach of contemporary people, and is even more a beautiful story that has been passed down from generation to generation. As a “rising star” and younger generation, in addition to shame and awe, I believe there is still a certain belief in love that I can adhere to?! (But this is also unknown and uncertain)
I have heard many popular songs with Chinese style, and a pop song with Chinese style “naturally” combines together, and it is necessary to achieve: the lyrics should reflect talent and connotation, the singer should be able to sing the mood/emotion of the ancients, maximize immersive experience, and reflect the emotional state of contemporary people. I’m afraid these are very difficult. Therefore, I personally believe that Mao Amin’s “Acacia” is very consistent and appropriate. Just like Man Wenjun’s “I Wish People Lasting”, in which, when I drink a cup of intoxicating wine without sleep and feel heartbroken, I can’t see who will own, who will own, who will own, and who will settle my wish for a long time. Suddenly, I realized the four words “being worthy of the heart”. It’s really not easy for people to be worthy of the heart in this lifetime. And this song, too, naturally connects ancient poetry.
In fact, at the beginning of listening to Mao Amin’s songs, even five years ago, I also refused. This refusal is just like listening to Qin Opera Opera. But now my emotions are beginning to change. In the early days, I listened to Lin Junjie, Zhou Jielun, Zhang Jingxuan, Wang Feng, and so on. Then I listened to light music without any vocals, and songs from foreign mainstream singers. Now I am more nostalgic. For example: Mao Amin.
Most of Mao Amin’s song types are love songs, such as “Desire”, “Historical Sky”, “Park 1997 I Approached You”, and especially after listening to “Living for a Dream” over and over again, you will find: Wow, this is the artist, this is the difference between a singer and an artist.
There are two other songs that make me feel good, too. Here I recommend them to you: Weng Suying’s “People on the Road”, and Luo Jialiang&Xuanxuan’s “Love Blossoms”.
The main factor in Mao Amin’s liking is not his grandfather, but the song “Acacia”. It may be difficult for me to understand from the depth of the song, but her rich and mellow voice, perfect breath, and excellent sound transfer intoxicated me. Especially when expressing the meaning of the lyrics, the situation, with a slightly hoarse and hoarse voice line, is very memorable.
