Xu Fei's "Gyro": The sound that makes us look into the blue sky while spinning
Life in the city where green and red lights alternately flash, just like the current TV series, is full of an unchanging plot, which is Being whipped by the whip of fate, we actually want to temporarily stop in a sunny place, poke our heads out of the streets covered by dust and noise, and take a look at the unpolluted blue sky.
This is my impression of Wan Xiaoli's "Gyro". It should be a portrayal of the lives of most modern urbanites. It is true and appropriate. The desires of the world drive us constantly. Spin, spin, turn to the end, we have forgotten why we turned, this seems to be a fate that most of us cannot escape.
This is a less controversial song in Wan Xiaoli's controversial second album. But compared to the version sung by him, I personally prefer the version sung by this girl named Xu Fei.
Because, I believe that the role of music is not only to portray, but also to redeem people's hearts. If Wan Xiaoli's hoarse voice full of masculinity is the most authentic reflection of life, but I may still be more stubborn in liking the teasing and playful tone he showed in his first album. . In a life that is already heavy enough, being covered up by the weight again may make people lose interest in life even more.
And Xu Fei’s voice, perhaps because of his youth, his slightly hoarse throat shows a clearness that has not been indulged in the complexity of the world. The hoarseness also tells the truth in the lyrics that is already very heavy. Reality, and that clarity, combined with the two guitars and Wan Xiaoli's melodious harmonica sound, shows an ethereal cleanness with a unique charm.
This ethereal feeling makes the listener's soul seem to be separated from the heavy talk about life, making people suddenly feel humble in the overly regular and boring rotation. Wish:
If life has been trapped by us, at least we can stop at a certain moment when we are being beaten by fate, and I should also stop at a certain moment. Come down, look at the road ahead, and use our brains that are not completely numb to think about whether the unknown road is still our original intention? Or, you can raise your head and look at the sky, or in a certain corner, there is an unpolluted sky with white clouds floating like a veil.
I don’t know if this separation is a kind of salvation, but at that moment when I looked up at the sky, I thought that the world was rotating, but I was indeed stationary.

Turning in the fields
Turning in the breeze
Turning in the fragrant flowers
Turning in silence
Turning in loneliness
Turning on the frozen lake
Turning in laughter
Turning in tears
Turning in burning life
Turning in whiteness
Turning in blood red
In Your aging face turns around
If I could stop
I want to open my glasses
Watch how you leave
But I can't stop
Nor can I cheer for you
Please release your hands
Turning in the glass
In Turning in a nightmare
Turning in an ulterior conspiracy
Turning in a desire
Turning in a struggle
The incident happened in Dongchuang Turning numb
On a sunny day
You cover your face with your hands
Tell me you are tired
You threw down the props in your hands
and started cursing the game
Said you always wanted to give up
But you couldn't stop spinning
Turning around Turn
Raise your whip high
Turn, turn, turn
Turn, turn, turn
Close mine gently Eye
