When it comes to music "ghosts", you will definitely think of many musicians, such as: Xue Zhiqian? Li Ronghao? Hua Chenyu.
But when it comes to the most low-key music "ghosts" , I think most people in the 90s know who I'm talking about, and that's Xu Song! When I mentioned Xu Song's name, the memory of "green onions" in the 1990s "overflowed". For our 90-year-old friend, Xu Song has passed.
In that "non-mainstream" era, Xu Song's songs were very clear, because Xu Song's songs have always been very stylish. At that time, the more popular tone was that Xu Song had always been on his own path and did not follow the public. At that time, Xu Liang, Wang Sulong, and Danse Ling were very popular with the public, but in the big wave of gold mining, Xu Song was the only one who finally settled down. Xu Song's fans are slowly rising because he only follows his own path.
Xu Song himself is also a very capable music producer. In his songs, almost all lyrics and melodies are his own creations, and they are all lonely.
In fifth grade, this was the first time I met Xu Song. At that time, my sister was playing songs and accidentally heard a song by Xu Song - "Admit Mistake", which vividly described the man's regret. For the first time, I thought it was just average. After my sister said it a few times, I started to read his lyrics carefully and listen to his songs, and slowly I felt good. After playing on the computer at a friend's house, I searched for a lot of Xu Song's songs and listened to "Su Yan", "Remaining Snow on the Broken Bridge", "Luzhou Moon", "Chengfu", "Bad Boy", "I Want to Hold Your Hand", etc. Wait, everyone is a big love. Coincidentally, my friend heard about it and also liked Xu Song. This is a friend!
When did Xu Song reach his peak? "Custom", "Missing Object Notice" and "Sleepwalker", each of the three albums can dominate the music charts. Socra has no bottom - this album period is Xu Song's last peak period. After this album, more and more music "Ghosts" appeared, and Xu Wei could not keep every song. After that, the audiences of "It's Better to Have Tea", "Youth Evening News" and "Treasure Hunt" gradually stabilized. The quality of these albums was also very high, but he gradually became independent and no longer deliberately wrote love songs to cater to the tastes of the audience. , but to explore themselves as much as possible, pay attention to society, and gradually become more profound.
Why are there gradually fewer people paying attention to Xu Song?
First of all, his origin is not of a class, and his production as an online singer and semi-amateur has led many people to be prejudiced against him from the beginning. It seems that online singers have to be the same as traditional singers. It’s true that many online songs are shoddy. But Xu Song's song is a rare online popular song with a philosophical spirit. Not only are the numbers comparable, but the songs and songwriting are a remarkable place to be.
Secondly, he is too low-key and kind-hearted and has not entered any so-called "mainstream music circle". Music critics and producers didn't wait to meet him. Making an album is hard. No problem writing music. There was no problem arranging the vocals. Then I would do it with vocals. lt;!DOCTYPE explains that I just don't like the sound of his voice.
Third, he is so Buddhist that sometimes he is too lazy to explain things. I hate over-entertainment. The lack of exposure and subject matter has led to frequent questions about his "not being red". Relatively speaking, his state is also very unstable and can be compared with Jay Chou (in fact, his popularity at his peak was quite good, and his singing skills were no worse than JJ Lin)
His attitude towards music has always been very clear. I admire such a clear and lively person. No hype, no heat, entertainment industry low profile people, high profile music, no scandal and publicity.
Later, Xu Song went to the mountains and wrote "It's Better to Have Tea". His style changed and became as simple as our story, as simple as singing "The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful of the candle".
Isn’t this all elegance and vulgarity?
