In 2017, Song Pangzi brought us a surprise. He made a strong return with his stunning new song “Guo Yuan Chao”. When I first heard “Guo Yuan Chao”, I was shocked and overwhelmed.This song has been identified as a folk song, but it also resembles a lively rock song. In addition to the deep meaning of folk songs, they also have the style of pop and rock. Not to mention the lyrics and music, the arrangement is already quite exquisite. The prelude is full of dynamic, melancholy, and passionate keyboard sounds that open the prelude to the song, and the interlude is from calm to explosive, all of which seem to tell a story.
“Guo Yuan Chao” evolved from a flat and straightforward narrative to a later emotional catharsis, and the entire process was heartfelt and incisive, tragic but not unnatural.
The lyrics, which are full of allusions and profound meanings, once left me confused.
The listener will ask, “Who is Guo Yuanchao?”?
The lyrics of this song are presented in the form of dialogue. The first sentence should be from the perspective of “I”: “You say you know their world.” From this, we know that Guo Yuanchao may be isolated from the world, standing from an opposing perspective, gazing at the world.
He said, “The three elegiac songs buy everything, Kunlun is settled, Penglai is free of thoughts, and people’s disputes brew liquor soup.” He hated some humane looks, seemingly detached, but actually unbearable vulgarity.
“Buying crows from Princess Tomb, wood from the incident, and hemp from the east window, buying fishing songs from boats in the rouge river, and the laws of everything in the golden world.” Some people feel great about themselves, and they can talk about everything in heaven and earth, and become strong in the laws of nature.
“But we are just small ordinary people, and we cannot” buy “things that we may despise or disdain. There are some things that we needless to say cannot be changed, and the impact we can have is too small.”.
“In fact, you and I are both alike, and will eventually be forgotten. Your illness is the same as mine.” We once denounced the world, but ultimately it cannot rival life and time. They only erode our will until we are old and forgotten. We have no choice but to conform. Our illness is that it’s too serious.
Lao Guo, buddy, put it down. Being happy is more important than anything else.
You say you have your pursuit and the distance you yearn for.
Haizi said, “There is nothing but distance in the distance.” If you want to be free, you have to abandon something, such as the right to a normal life.
Xin Qiji said, “Young people don’t know the taste of sorrow, they fall in love with stories, and they try to express their sorrow in order to speak new words.” Lao Guo, don’t be pretentious. “After all, the storeys will lead to juvenile delinquency, and freedom will sooner or later lead to chaos for the rest of our lives.”
Forget it, you won’t listen to advice. “You and I haven’t met before the mountain, don’t meet behind the mountain.” There’s no time to meet again.
“Mountains, rivers, beasts, and a young dream.” We ourselves, our spiritual will, and our dreams are not great at all. Just like everything in the world. Can be born or destroyed. Therefore, even if life deprives us of our dreams, we still need a normal heart, because we are too ordinary.
“Old ink and ink at the bottom of the Taiping Lake, a childhood legend from Copenhagen.” Mr. Lao She never defeated the times and sank at the bottom of the Taiping Lake. After suffering, Andersen still brought us immortal fairy tales. Life is like this. We have unbreakable shackles and amazing power. Our world is full of sin, but we also need to believe in good and love.
Therefore, this song is a warning to the listener. I am not singing high and complaining about society, nor am I complaining about life and love in a depressed way. I am just a feisty singer, hoping to chat with you when you are down. We are all passersby of the world, and it is fate to meet and get together because of the resonance of a song. But that’s all. We are all worldly mortals. After listening to the song and crying all night, we hurry up and do what we should do the next day. Love lovers, money earners, don’t be out of tune with the world, you can’t win.
To enhance my understanding of the song, I watched the MV.
The young Guo Yuanchao has a career and love, but also a desire for a better life and a pursuit of the inner world. He was rebellious and proud, always feeling that the world was running counter to his wishes.
In his old age, he looked like a madman, and he achieved true freedom. “He doesn’t have enough food, clothes, clothes, and a place to live. He doesn’t know if this is the life he wants.”. The two Guo Yuanchao met, and they fought fiercely. Guo Yuanchao, struggling hard. Guo Yuanchao is Song Dongye, the countless humble people in the world.
Finally, they had to compromise with the world and accept each other. They hugged each other and wept.
Guo Yuanchao stood high, judging others, saying they were artless. In fact, wasn’t he the kind of person he was talking about? Born as human beings, we all have seven emotions and six desires. Hatred and alienation from the world stem from expectations of life.
Therefore, we still have to face the world, face life, and face ourselves. Who knows why to live and what its meaning is. Because meaning itself has no meaning.
Friend, put it down.
