Introduction to the song "Demolish the East Wall"

"Tear Down the East Wall" is one of the songs in the album "Socrates Have No Bottom" released in April 2011 after mainland front-line star Xu Song signed with Haidie. The song was released on the afternoon of March 30, 2011. The album also includes "In Imagination", "Great Rivers and Mountains", "Doctor", "Weibo Control", "Untiring", "Double Side", "Cooling Down", "Toasting without Eating" and "Thousands of Baidu".

Literally, Xu Song narrates the tragic life of a tavern owner in the Tang Dynasty and alludes to various current social realities, which is quite postmodern. There is no anger or venting, but a touch of compassion, which gives many sharp topics new ways and outlets to discuss. It can be called a stunning work. In terms of the overall situation, it is easy to start, transfer and combine; in the details, there is constant black humor and ingenuity. Xu Song's writing style is unique. If this kind of "borrowing the past to describe the present" is not a pioneering work, then the last line of the whole song introduces this work into the category of philosophical thinking. As for the music part, the chanting and singing are as smooth as water; the R&B guitar is perfect; the melody of the chorus and the lyrics are very well connected. The lyrics, music, singing, and production were all written by one person, and were so naturally integrated into one. I'm afraid not many people can do it now.

What is the meaning of demolishing the East Wall? Netizens have always had different opinions. The more convincing theory is that it secretly satirizes "forced demolitions". Some people also think that the feudal imperial examination system destroyed the protagonist of the story, but Vae did not provide an explanation.

While listening to "Tear Down the East Wall" over and over again, I can't help but secretly admire the magic of music. Different people, different moods, and different experiences can give a song so many different interpretations. . For the continuation of the dream, I have to stop pursuing it for a while. When I have the ability to continue pursuing it, can I still remember the dream I once had...

In that era, unlike now, the so-called equality only existed among bureaucrats. . There is only one way to change from "untouchable" to "noble" - high school. As a result, thousands of troops and horses crossed the single-plank bridge in the imperial examination every year. Everyone in the world is aiming for one goal, but only a handful of them can pass the exam. Being named on the gold list is naturally a glorious one, but once you fail, you will have to face the bleak second half of your life. Should a poor man return to his roots and become a villager in the mountains, or should he pretend to be a happy fisherman and woodcutter in the rivers? Or can't you bear to wrong yourself, and would rather drink wine as song and enjoy romance?
