The greatest achievement of "Summer of the Band" is that it brings a group of disappearing bands back into the consciousness of music fans. When the Dada band stood on the stage, something shone in the eyes of their former colleagues Zhou Xun and Zhang Yadong. As the first domestic band signed to the world's five major record companies, they once had unlimited success. However, the ever-changing music market caused them to quietly disband 15 years ago.
The reasons for the disbandment of the band have their own personal reasons and are also affected by the volatility of the market. At that time, talent shows were popular, and all works were based on speed. Those bands that made music seriously and took many years to produce an album would inevitably be left out in the market. In addition, free streaming music has also caused the music market to decline year after year, and the entire market environment is very unfavorable to musicians.
At the end of 2000, the Dada band released its first album "Angel". The album sold well, but everyone felt that the album did not have enough rock flavor and was more like a pop music album. . Therefore, the Dada band devoted more efforts to their second album "Golden Age". "South" is a piece from this album. It is a piece written by young men from Wuhan who miss their hometown in Beijing. People from the south will hear it more emotionally.
A heavy rain in Beijing inspired Peng Tan's desire to create. His window was not closed at that time. At that moment, he felt as if he was in Wuhan, so he quickly wrote the lyrics of this song. This is also the only song in "Golden Age" that has lyrics first and music later. "It's always humid there, and it's always soft there." People who have experienced the dryness in the north are very obsessed with this feeling.
At that time, Peng Tan had a mustache and slightly long, fluffy hair. Now standing on the stage of "Summer of the Band 2" and singing this song again, Peng Tan still looks handsome, but he has lost the original edges and corners. Peng Tan's hair is very long and thick. At first glance, she thought she was a middle-aged woman. He was wearing shorts and looked cooler than average. This relatively soothing work is very much like the British rock music they admire.
Xiao Sheng, the drummer of Dawenxi Band, burst into tears. When he went to Wuhan, he also had the dream of rock and roll. The first time Chongzi from the White Paper band heard the song "South" was when she was in junior high school, and all the past events came back to her mind.
After the Dada band disbanded, Peng Tan signed with Taihe Maitian and released his first solo album "Teenage Story". Bassist Wei Fei formed the band Today with guitarist Liu Limin of Hopscotch Band and Yan Yan, a new voice, and released their first album "Little Feelings in the Garden". Peng Tan also attended their new album press conference.
During the band's internal investment session of "Summer of the Band 2", Peng Tan thought that with their glory that year, they would have a place in the top six and even prepare to give a live speech. However, there was no one in the top six. their names. This time in the third group of duels, they rushed to the top. In 2015, many music fans born in the 1990s may have never heard of Dada, so Peng Tan was relieved.
Wang Feng, a former Warner colleague, said: ""Southern" is undoubtedly an excellent song. It expresses the melancholy and longing for the future of those young souls who have left home and drifted north. ?
When he saw the band ranking first, Peng Tan could not hide his inner joy. He jumped four steps from the stairs and landed on the ground, hugging the band members to celebrate. Dada band, let us remember these names. They are the complete four young men Peng Tan, Wei Fei, Zhang Ming and Wu Tao who were signed to Warner.
