That’s because Huang Jiaju has musical talent and creative inspiration. Although some people can also create songs, they don’t have good inspiration. The songs they create are not suitable for the public’s appetite. Without inspiration, no matter how hard you learn, Only mediocre music can be composed.
Do you like the songs in Goodbye Ideal and Arabian Album as much as I do? These two albums are so addictive that I listened to them for the first time when I was 16 years old and complained about what they were. Song, weird music. I quickly cut the song. I listened to it again accidentally after seven or eight years. It was so refreshing. Now I feel itchy if I don’t listen to it for a day, as if I have been poisoned. Now the sea and the sky are vast. I really love you. Those songs are gone. After listening, I only listened to these two albums, and I recommend listening to them.
Love and ideals have made Wong Ka Kui a success, but not necessarily a person with a major in a major can achieve his ideals. Nowadays, some children who go to music conservatories are often just for gold plating, or they are not interested in music from the heart, but are influenced by their parents. I am destined to study music, but it is difficult to achieve anything. This kind of wild path is like becoming a monk on the way out of interest, with broad ideas and unconstrained ideas. Only in this way can we create more classics. Those who have passed the scientific examination and entered professional schools, and their thoughts are restricted by rules and regulations. They can only follow the routine rigidly. If they are exhausted, they can only reach the height of their predecessors. .
Anyone who can play guitar or has played Ka Kui's songs in a band will be full of praise for the wonderful solo of Cold Rainy Night, Footsteps of the Past, and Gray Tracks. Especially the bass part of Leng Yuye, the bass solo is the best among Chinese songs, it is undisputed.
The first time I heard "I Really Love You" was from an old pirated CD. At that time, I was spending my summer vacation in the countryside, and information was very limited. The only way to know the outside news every day was a TV. Then I saw their performance decades ago. I remember that Ka Kui sang the wrong words in that performance. He sang the wrong words every time. I laughed at the words, and I laughed very innocently at that scene. I think maybe I suddenly noticed this person because of a small mistake. From that day on, I really liked Ka Kui. I recorded the song on my mobile phone without Internet access, and then listened to it over and over again.
At that time, I was still a teenager, an age full of love. I really liked the singing person. I had never liked someone so much before or since. At that time, I I don’t know his name yet, but I vaguely remember hearing a band called Beyond. When I had the opportunity to find out about him, I realized that this was actually a band from the 1980s, that his name was Wong Ka Kui, and that he had left this world long ago. To be honest, I was very surprised. It was the first time in my short life that I saw a person who looked like a rainbow, but time was wrong and fate was not kind. Today, many years have passed since that day, and the blurry video is still in my computer. I still like Mr. Jiaju so much. This must be a wonderful encounter in life.
Talent is definitely needed, and it must be like this! If you don’t have talent, playing music is just a misunderstanding. We all know that as musicians with more than ten years of experience, we can only say that good music really does not distinguish between majors and non-students, but people! Having said that, those who can play music and write good music must have certain professional skills, it is a must! I was once misled into believing that Huang Guanzhong was the number one guitarist in Asia, but after I learned the guitar, I discovered that this was not the case at all. But the significance of Beyond during Wong Ka Kui's period was to leave a spiritual spark for original music in the Chinese music scene.
The Hong Kong music scene of that period was still popular with urban love songs featuring Alan Tam and others, but several beyond classics that have been passed down to this day interpret the inner vitality of music, which is the thinking and praise of life and beauty. Now I am more interested in sharing my own understanding of beyond in Wong Ka Kui's period, and trying to combine it with Jacky Cheung from the same period. Of course, the two of them cannot represent the Hong Kong music scene in the golden period, but their works can reflect the times. The standard of Chinese music.
It is normal for some people to disagree. There are many criticisms of Beyond that cannot be said to be unreasonable. However, because Beyond’s "Glory Days" brought me a very different meaning during the lowest period of my life, so I still prefer it. People who like beyond should not be very trendy. At that time, Huang Ka-kui said that there was no music scene in Hong Kong, only the entertainment industry. In fact, it can still be applied to the current mainland entertainment industry to a certain extent. I also feel extremely sorry for Huang Jiaju's death, and I also have some fantasies. But whose death is not worthy of pity?
Except for those identities, he is just an ordinary person. Death is normal, and the quality of his music has nothing to do with his death. I believe Wong Ka Kui doesn’t want his music to be tainted by these things. I don’t know whether the person who started this discussion is a true fan or a negative fan of Beyond. I only know that Huang Jiaju doesn’t need true fans and doesn’t care about negative fans. He only needs confidants who understand his music. I feel sorry for his death and for his It is enough to admire the music. As for whether it has been over-praised, who cares? True fan?
How many people listened to tape players in that era? They fell in love with Ka Kui and Beyond entirely because of the voice and melody. As the dialect of the Hakka people in western Fujian is different, I couldn't understand Cantonese at all when I was a child, but I don't know why beyond's music has this magic. When I was a kid, I didn’t have money to buy tapes or players. I didn’t know who Beyond was or what Wong Ka Kui looked like. Whenever the neighbors on the second floor played songs by Beyond, we would listen quietly downstairs. I remember when it started, this is the first memory of beyond.
The musician in my eyes does not mean that he must have excellent creative ability or how many great classic representative works. A musician is a kind of inner narration, and Jia Kui expresses his emotions through music. And the inability of words to express true feelings.
Hong Kong lacks everything, but there is no shortage of singers. In those days, just cover a few songs and package them. At that time, there was only one family engaged in music, Beyond. When I was replying to this paragraph, I was really listening to Lin Xiaopei's cover of "Slowness" ("Cold Rainy Night"). It still sounds amazing. I don’t know bass or drums, I just listen to music. Beyond's songs are nice and the lyrics are great (the lyrics of Hong Kong's bitter love songs are too boring), and they are all composed by themselves.
