Creative background
In 2007, Li Jian composed this song. After five years of waiting, he re-created "The Wind Blowing the Wheat Waves". Li Jian said that this is a new song. It is a simple and romantic song, so I strive to be aesthetic when arranging it. It is very similar to a romantic classical music, and the style draws on movie soundtracks. Li Jian said frankly that it is actually very difficult to arrange a song beautifully, especially a song that is familiar to the public. Arranger Zhao Zhao said that this song is his wife's favorite song, so I think he must have been filled with deep love for her when arranging it. Whether a composer or an arranger, only with true emotions can he write a full-bodied work. "The Wind Blows the Wheat Waves" uses the most musical instruments, including piano, harp, string quintet, woodwind section, and a string group of more than thirty people. Singer Li Jian's song lyrics
Under the blue sky in the distance
Golden waves of wheat are surging
It was you and me there
The place I loved
When the breeze carries the smell of harvest
Blows towards my face
Thinking of your soft words
It once wetted my eyes
We once sang in the fields
Looking forward to it in winter
But we couldn’t wait for the sunshine
p>
This autumn scene
Let the lost vows fly
Float with the west wind
Just like your soft long hair
My dreamland was once fragrant
Under the blue sky in the distance
Golden wheat waves surged
It was you and me there
p>
The place I loved
When the breeze carries the smell of harvest
Blows towards my face
Thinking of your soft words
It once wetted my eyes
We once sang in the fields
Looking forward to it in winter
But we could not wait until the sunshine
This autumn scene
Let the lost vows fly
Float with the west wind
Just like your soft long hair
Appreciation of Zeng Fenfang's My Dreamland Songs
The arrangement of classical music gives the work another kind of youthfulness. This piece uses instruments such as piano, harp, string quintet, and woodwind section to weave a light and romantic scene. The melody replaces the wheat waves depicted by the original human voice, which makes it appear more beautiful. Li Jian and Sun Li sang "The Wind Blows the Wheat Waves"
The humming in large sections of the song is free and casual. Under the direction of the rhythm, it forms a strong contrast and expresses this noisy commercial city. In it, people are nostalgic for the simple and beautiful emotions of the past, calling for the purest voice deep in people's memories. The original intention of the song is to miss a past relationship, but there is no sad emotion found in the lyrics. To reminisce. The peaceful rhythm makes people believe that the "feelings" in this lyrics once brought the author more happiness than pain.
