The end of the last century is already a distant story. However, the album "You Can" released on July 1, 1999, retained the hit song "Cloudy" that has been sung to this day. Among the prophecies of the millennium and the obsession with love, Karen Mok, dressed in black and with a lazy and transparent voice, teases the questions deep in the listener's heart: Is love the spiritual opium, or is it the end of the century? boring pastime.
There are some love songs that correspond to the state of the moment. People who are immersed in the scene will inevitably feel emotional about the scene, which may lead to self-injury. Other love songs have a rarer quality: no matter how ups and downs the love journey may be, universal recognition can be found in them.
As Karen Mok sang with her eyebrows lowered and her chin lowered, "Relationships are not just about your love and my will. It is best to balance love and hate and not owe anything to each other. To put it bluntly, if one person breaks free, the other person will pick it up." There is never a question of whether it is fair or not. The game of love, although "it is always wonderful every minute at the beginning", in the end, all that is left is in the photo at hand, "two silly people, how sweet their smile is".
I have listened to thousands of love songs to heal my wounds, but none of them are as healing as this one.
Li Zongsheng, who wrote the lyrics, has precise penmanship, and his swords are all piercing the truth, leaving no room for fantasy or comfort. What's even more amazing is that not only did he outline the essence, but Li Zongsheng also gave a guarantee of time: "Even if you experience every detail in this song, if you want to really understand it, it will take several years."
Knowing and doing in relationships have always been two different things. The reason why Li Zongsheng is able to grasp the emotions of urban people so well is not only due to his rich experiences and feelings, but also due to his hard work. In many public occasions, he has said that in order to tailor the song, he would carefully study the female singer's personality, temperament, and even know her favorite perfume.
In Li Zongsheng’s heart, Karen Mok may correspond to reason, sobriety and even the desolation behind it. "The Twelfth Floor" writes, "The days are like a gray wall, and there is no response even if you scold it." The flash of light in Qiu Liang's "Cloudy Day" is more abstract, but it also reveals the cold-eyed ridicule after seeing through: "Men don't have to keep talking, women There is really no need to pity Chu Chu. In short, the two of you were not destined for each other in those years."
Mok Wenwei's voice has a sense of confiding, and her words are the measure of people's hearts. In a room with no lights on, I sing about the accumulated thoughts, and the doubtful and blind spots in love, hate, and passion are so obvious that they are about to come out. At first they thought their enthusiasm would never diminish, but in the end they had no choice but to admit that whether they were greedy or ignorant, their sensibility had won over their rational side.
When the noisy wedding banquet is reduced to a halo of light from cigarettes, the prelude or the conclusion is a reversal of reincarnation, which is extremely absurd and ironic. After the helplessness, I could only spread my hands and shrug my shoulders, feeling guilty and sad in the lonely moment.
It is worth mentioning that the composition of "Cloudy Sky" was completed by Li Zongsheng and his gold medal arranger Zhou Guoyi. Zhou Guoyi is better known as Mac Chew in English. Li Zongsheng is a self-taught actor and has partnered with many aces such as Chen Zhiyuan, Bobida, Li Zhengfan, etc., but he has been working with Mac Chew for the longest time. Until recent years, when Li Zongsheng toured frequently, Mac Chew played a crucial role as music director. The two had a tacit understanding. The simple melody of "Cloudy Day" at first glance actually contains an ingenious design specially designed for oral interpretation.
In 2006, Li Zongsheng held the "Concert of Reasonable and Emotional Works" at the Taipei Arena and personally performed "Cloudy", smiling throughout the process.
Perhaps, after hearing too many truths, it is still not as good as struggling to gain true peace. "Cloudy" is a mirror that reflects everyone's growth in love. Whether the dedication along the way leads to the end of happiness depends on faith and courage. Love is a thing, whether it is bitter or sweet. In the final analysis, it must be tasted by oneself.
"Cloudy Day"
On a cloudy day in a room without lights
When all thoughts settle bit by bit
Love Is it spiritual opium?
Or is it a boring pastime at the end of the century?
Cigarettes form a pool of light
I have his photo at hand
How sweet the two silly people laugh
Every minute at the beginning is always wonderful
Everyone thinks that the passion will never diminish
Except when the passion fades I was a little tired after that
Perhaps I was greedy as someone said
I deserved what someone said about being careless
In short, my sensibility won in those years. The rational side
In a room with no lights on on a cloudy day
When all thoughts settle bit by bit
Doubts in love, hate and passion
p>
The blind spots are so obvious that they are about to emerge
Girls, step aside
Even if you experience every detail in this song
If you really want to understand For several years
Recalling the noisy wedding banquet that day
Whether it was the prelude or the conclusion that was ringing in my ears
Isn’t love just about you and me?
It’s best to be equal in love and hate
Emotions can be revealed once one person breaks away and the other person picks them up
Men don’t have to keep talking
Women are honest There is no need to be pitiful
In short, the two of you were not destined for each other in those years
In a room with no lights on on a cloudy day
When all thoughts are settling bit by bit
Is love the opium of the spirit?
Or is it a boring pastime at the end of the century?
Cigarettes form a pool of light
The photo with him is placed there At hand
How sweet the two silly people laugh
How sweet the silly two people laugh
