Zhao Lei is the male version of Faye Wong in the folk music world. His music is loved as soon as you hear it, and there is always one line that is the finishing touch, which makes people feel inexplicably at ease after listening to it. It can cause people to scream, so many people are willing to follow his music. Lei Zi said that to start a wave of folk songs, some people have to sing, some people have to sing, and he is the one who has to sing. This is his attitude towards music, a belief and a persistence.
Leizi’s music is very pure and highly personal. The addition of fresh elements such as flute, harmonica, organ, bass, box piano ensemble, and children's vocal accompaniment makes the music soft in melody and brisk in rhythm, making people feel fresh and refined, unpretentious but full of emotion. ?
Everyone knows the highly popular song "Chengdu". After listening to it, we all wanted to visit that rainy town. We walked to the end of Yulin Road and sat at the door of the tavern. . It wasn’t just the wine last night that made me shed tears, and it wasn’t just your tenderness that made me reluctant to leave. Chengdu is a city that many people cannot take away from their hearts. Lei Zi expressed our inner thoughts through music, and expressed all his attachment to Chengdu in one song.
"Southern Girl" is another representative work of Lei Zi and has been covered by many people. The melody of the southern girl is very gentle, filled with a touch of sadness. She is wearing a flowered skirt and smiling at us in the music. She is chewing gum and talking about her ideals to the wall. Although he failed to achieve his goal, he was still not discouraged and had expectations and yearning for a better life. It’s a very lovable song that captures the charm of a Southern girl.
"Mary" is a song by Lei Zi that I like very much. It is said that Lei Zi met a little girl abroad and left after not getting along for long, so Lei Zi wrote this song to commemorate that girl. A happy day. There is a sentence in the lyrics about how much I hate separation. Tears came to my eyes after hearing this, and Lei Zi sang out my heart again. It would be great if there was no separation in the world, and we could all be with the people we like.
Leizi and his friends organized a folk tour, a concert on ten wheels. They drove motorcycles, held the banner of folk songs, traveled to many places, sang many songs, and left their own footprints. So this experience gave birth to a song called "Our Time". The sun above our heads is burning with the residual heat of youth. Our time is a carefree time. The wonderful years will not be rewritten by anything. The indulgent laughter often echoes in our ears. The footprints on the road will never be rewritten.
It’s great to be young, you can do everything you want to do. Lei Zi's songs are a reflection of youth. He is still complaining that he cannot grow up, but he has already matured to be independent. After so many years, he has finally become a mature singer. There must be countless sadness behind his fame. He is still so shy and simple, singing folk songs with his guitar in hand.
Leizi’s music contains many things. He sings about time, about longing, about sister, about feelings, about distance. Each song has a story, a background, and strong feelings. It is positive and has no negative energy. After listening to it, it is gentle, warm and touching, bringing happiness to the whole day. There are still many elements in Lei Zi's music waiting for us to evaluate. If you feel tired, just listen to his songs.
