I have always felt that the popularity of many film and television dramas is closely related to their music. Music is the soul of the plot. Good music is undoubtedly the best addition to film and television dramas.
June is the graduation season every year. I keep thinking that graduation is far away, and we all go our separate ways in the blink of an eye. Saying that youth never ends, it’s time to close in a blink of an eye.
In a somewhat sad atmosphere, the teacher played us a graduation song. The moving melody sounded in the classroom, and I suddenly felt that I had heard countless graduation songs over the years.
1. "Auld Lang Syne"
This song is the theme song of many movies such as "The Blue Bridge". In addition to the original Scottish folk song version, it is widely circulated There are also the Japanese version of 蛍の光 and the Chinese version of "Auld Lang Syne".
Good music can always spread over a large area, and it is also possible for a "divine song" to spread throughout the entire earth. For another example, our "The East is Red" has spread to the entire universe!
"Auld Lang Syne" was originally spread back to China through translation by some international students, and is often sung as BGM at graduation parties in major universities. It can be said that when the parents mentioned graduation, this song stopped running.
It is well known by those born in the 90s and 00s, probably because of the appearance of the movie "Tiny Times". "Auld Lang Syne" was chosen as the interlude for all four parts of "Tiny Times". Whenever the four girls in the movie need to unite to face difficulties, this song will suddenly sound. After tearing each other up, they cried heartbrokenly, then shook hands and made peace, while drinking and shouting this song. Scenes often appeared.
As the graduation season approaches, this song is often played on the campus radio station. On one side is "A certain classmate requested a song of "Auld Lang Syne" for so-and-so", and on the other side it is "A certain classmate gave everyone a song of "Auld Lang Syne"" "Single Love Song"... Such happy times will finally become a thing of the past.
2. "My Deskmate"
The 1994 campus ballad "My Deskmate", written and composed by Gao Xiaosong and sung by Lao Lang, was popular among teenagers once it was released. In 1995, it was included in Lao Lang's album "Lian Lian Feng Chen". In the same year, it won the "Gold Award for Audience Choice Favorite Program" at the Spring Festival Gala. I wasn't born yet.
I don’t know since when, a strange phenomenon has appeared in the film industry: youth movies are rampant, and a large number of people have begun to "rejuvenate" and "recall their youth" in movies. No matter what the plot is, they will choose one. A large wave of classic music was promoted as the theme song. As far as I know, "囧囧" is a classic record collection; "Since Youth Can't Stay" is a tribute to my brother, with songs such as "Night" and "If the Whole World Can Give Up"; "Charlotte Troubles" Such a high box office has not escaped this routine; "Mermaid" is also...
Among these movies that are either high-quality or fishing in troubled waters, "My Deskmate" has nothing outstanding. Childhood sweethearts who have gone to college, their heartbreaking youth, paired with familiar music, is this the youth of the post-80s generation?
However, the song "My Deskmate" is very suitable to be played during graduation. I don’t remember whether it was elementary school or junior high school. After school, the radio always played "You at the Table" and "Going Home" on a loop. Maybe after the new teaching methods are advanced, everyone will choose online classes or other methods. Maybe by then, our desks will become memories.
3. "March 9th"
This song is an episode from the Japanese drama "One Liter of Tears" and is sung by the singer Rimiミオロメン. Its original meaning is to describe family love. . In the TV series, it appears during the chorus of class activities and when bidding farewell to the heroine.
Its lyrics are romantic and full of life. They were not originally related to sadness, but the TV series created an inseparable connection.
In the TV series, the 15-year-old girl Chi Neia has just been admitted to the high school of her choice and is about to lead a new life full of meaning. At this time, she suddenly suffered from an incurable disease - spinocerebellar degeneration. This is a terminal neurological disease that will slowly paralyze her limbs until her organs fail and she dies. On the way to duel with the god of death, she struggled for 15 years, experienced a journey in the human world, brought a lot of trouble to her relatives and friends, and also received a lot of care. For her, love may be the most luxurious thing in her 25 years of life.
Every time I hear this song, I will recall the scene where Yaya cried and asked her mother, "Mom, can I get married?"
PS: This TV series is adapted from a real person and true story. It uses Muto Aya’s journey of resisting the disease as the script to create an inspirational drama. The most tender part of this TV series is probably the love given to this girl that did not exist in the first place.
4. "Toilet Paper?～拝凯?十五の君へ～"
I was not surprised to see that Encyclopedia said that this song was a sensation in Japan in 2008. When you hear its melody and see its lyrics, you will know that this is a song that can touch everyone.
Just two days ago, the teacher suddenly played this song for us to wish us a happy graduation in advance. The music video played at that time was a MV for a movie starring Yui Aragaki. It should be "Song on the Lips". After that, almost everyone in our class had this song on their cell phones.
The then 30-year-old singer received a letter from his 15-year-old self, which, you know, is similar to a time capsule. Write a letter when you are fifteen, give it to the post office or a slow mail shop, and ask them to send it when you are thirty. The 30-year-old singer was inspired by the troubles he wrote when he was 15 years old. He wrote this song in the form of a letter and also responded to the letter from that year.
Like lyrics like "Dear Mom and Dad, are you okay?" letters are always touching.
I hope that youth will never end and remain immortal. Graduation day comes later.
