246 main theme (with Percussion) by shigeru ume bayashi
All the memories are damp ...
In In the Mood for Love, Wong Kar-wai once took Ryumeji's theme made by Japanese composer Shigeru Umebayashi (director of Dream II) to imitate tango dance music. This time, Wang asked him to compose music for "246". This theme song is still quite impressive. The violin < P > is accompanied by a heavy rhythm drum, which is high-spirited and frustrating. The train in the future world is running fast, and the mottled colors in the night sky open the door of 246.
sibley–instrumental by Xavier cugat
Are you familiar with it? Are you old friends? Remember punk? The footless one has been flying all the time ...
The unruly teddy boy went to the Philippines alone to look for his real mother. He didn't want to be full of hope, but he got a cold and cheerless background. He walked into the railway station without fear and didn't have the money to buy a fake passport to play around. In "246", Carina Lau is still the dancer named Lulu, but "Xiao Zhang" (Zhang zhen) in "Spring Breeze" has become her new love, with men and women in love, dazzling in fireworks.
Sway by Dean Martin
"Hold me, dance with me, read my swing, get up ..."
Let's tease this lyric. The singer of this old song is Dean Martin, who performed well in the 196s. He used to be a boxer, a casino dealer and so on before he entered the entertainment industry. Later, with his handsome appearance and beautiful voice, he made his debut, and then stepped into the film and television circle. Dean is full of male charm on the screen, and he is also a guy who indulges in wine and wine off the screen. His deep and free and easy singing sounds like telling a man who doesn't want to be dragged by love.
the Christmas song (fast version) by shigeru ume bayashi
Merry Christmas! There are already too many versions of various translations. However, what this song appears in "246" is only a simple music performance. The music itself is relaxed, comfortable and happy, but in "246", every Christmas is accompanied by Liang remembering the women who appear in his life. Good memories are always there. Things have changed and people can't get rid of them. A man's loneliness is spreading in the brightly lit Christmas ...
Julien et Barbara by delerue, Georges
If it is Wong Kar-wai's great ability to "copy" other people's music (of course, maybe he is paying tribute to someone), it is French new wave director Chu Fu who was "stolen" this time. Georges, a French composer, is the original creator of this song. The title of the song is the name of the hero and heroine in the film. He is also the music composer of many Chu Fu films. In this black movie, the heroine falls in love with a married boss. Giorgio Starrero won three French Caesar Awards and was nominated for the Oscar for five times. In 198, he won the Oscar for "The Bridge of Sunset".
Siboney by connie francis
Lyrics are added, but the female singer Connie Francis, with her lazy, pitying and caring voice, is engaged in provocative and seductive activities. If in In the Mood for Love, Shigeru Umebayashi still urges men and women to attract each other like the East, then this time, first meeting, peeping and aiming at each other is a western-like maneuver; The same is cheongsam or one set after another. The feminine breath that women are born with is puffed out in the air. You met, and we both know that it will be a new story.
interlude I by shigeru ume bayashi
Cello, only cello, but cello is crying. Silence, death, just 3 seconds, floating around the edge. Helpless is my mood, the past has become a lingering forever, lost, why not speak. Is she gone? Why do you feel sad for her? Why do you still have a painful dream when you wake up?
polonaise by shigeru ume bayashi
This is a kind of Polish dance music, which is called Polonaise. It is a three-beat dance step with solemn form and slow rhythm. Chopin, a great musician, once wrote many polonaises. Shigeru Umebayashi used this form to compose this soundtrack. In the melodious sound of the violin, he and the women in his life crossed lightly, intimately and rapidly, just to keep up with their footsteps. This distance never stopped, serious and cold. It seems that the love in an instant becomes a memory. In the movie, every time you let go, it will appear.
Casta Diva is selected from the opera Norma by Angela Gheorghiu
Norma, a masterpiece of Italian opera composer Bei Lini. It describes that during the Roman Empire, Norma, a priestess, fell in love with someone she shouldn't have loved in violation of theism. Her infatuation was exchanged for her kindness, and she fell in love with another younger priestess. This song "Holy Goddess" shows a priestess's devotion to the goddess and reveals her heart: Holy Goddess, please give us peace, dear ones, please come back to me ... And Faye Wong's love affair with the Japanese in "246" was strongly opposed by her father and forced her daughter not to associate with him. She wandered alone in the room and on the moonlit roof, reading Japanese repeatedly and sincerely watching.
Perfidia by Xavier Cugat
This is another piece of music written by Spanish musician Xavier Cugat and put in The True Story of Teddy Boy by Wong Kar-wai. The policeman played by Andy Lau stopped and stopped at the telephone booth, and finally decided to go to the night of running the boat; Leslie Cheung remembered that second on the train, the moment when his eyes closed. Wong Kar-wai once said that he liked this piece of music very much. He wanted to put it in In the Mood for Love, but it didn't work in the end. As a result, he returned to 246, and he couldn't help but make the same old mistake again.
246 main theme (rumba version) by shigeru ume bayashi
Different versions of the theme song lack a strong sense of rhythm, and only the medium-speed "African drum" is added to the violin, which is changed into rumba dance with a slow piano. The music becomes bleak and soft. The woman peeping at 246 in Room 247 is actually a small world, one man and one woman. The world is too vast, two rooms, two worlds, what will tomorrow be like?
Lost by Shigeru Umebayashi
lost. Once, there was a sincere love in my hand, and I couldn't grasp it ...
Some people said: If you have a secret that you can't tell anyone, just find a tree in the mountain, dig a hole, bury your hidden and painful secret in it, and cover it and you will forget it. If women become indifferent, love becomes meaningless, and the world becomes even more indifferent, then get lost, even though you know that one day after being numb and drunk, you will wake up in the morning and be heartbroken again.
Dark Chariot by Peer Raben
Peer Raben began to compose film music for German filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder in 1968, and 25 of Fassbinder's more than 4 films were composed by Pierre Raben. Fassbinda's films always have a decadent style. This song (Black Chariot) began with a solo piano and gradually entered a delicate state. Shigeru Umebayashi's theme music is wild and unrestrained, and the two kinds of music complement each other. If it is close to the mold, it is still necessary to order Pierre Roban.
Syiphos at work by Peer Raben
Syiphos is a character in Greek mythology. God punished him that he had to push a huge stone from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain in order to release him from hell, but he couldn't stop the stone from falling continuously, and he could only circulate repeatedly day after day. Pierre Roban used this kind of music to express entangled love in Fassbinda's films. Since it is doomed to a fruitless cycle, why should it be too demanding? If "246" comes out, you know the fate and why bother to pull it.
Decision is selected from "A Short Film About Killing" by zbigniew preisner
This is a piece of music from the "Ten Commandments" by the late Polish movie master Kislovski. Composer Pries Preisner cooperated with Kislovski for a long time and was good at writing symphonies for its music. Other masterpieces include "The Double Life of Veronica" and "Basket, White and Red", which leave wonderful musical notes for the complex moral propositions in the master films.
long journey by shigeru ume bayashi
He met her by chance, and she is a mysterious "cheat", but she will do her best to help the man she met. Her black cheongsam reminds him of another Su Lizhen, but he is not sure whether she will go with him? In the dim light, in the noodle restaurant, he repeated his meeting with a woman named Su Lizhen. He only remembered that she said that he was the only one who was best for her in this world. So he asked, will you go without me? She spread a deck of cards flat on the table and replied, If you beat me, I'll go with you!
Adagio by Secret Garden
whenever the train of memory begins to talk to itself, this song will appear. Robots shuttle through the time and space of memory, and the lust is faint like running water, and everyone's face has a moldy taste. The music comes from the Norwegian secret garden, which is composed of Norwegian composer and pianist roiilevland and Irish violinist Flo Sherry. The music played by them has a unique Nordic Guerth style, and even if there is no vocal part, the notes can bring an ethereal temperament with nature.
interlude ii by shigeru umebayashi
pure wind music, only melancholy; The train goes forward, thinking backwards, and the heart swims to a beautiful place; In the carriage with only numb robots, language loses its meaning; Everything is in vain, and women are like a pile of scrap iron; I will enter the wine, and there is a burning heart inside the anesthesia; In the cold future world, who can tell me if I have ever loved ...
The Christmas Song by Nat King Cole
This yazan song comes from the version of the late NAT King Cole. As for how classic he is, we have seen three songs in In the Mood for Love. Wong Kar-wai once said that when choosing music, it must match the era and the atmosphere. In my memory, it seems that Wang also mentioned that his mother liked Najinggao very much. In Hong Kong in the sixties and seventies, we can imagine that there was a woman with red eyes hiding in a corner where the smoke slowly rose in restaurants everywhere, or there was a wonderful laugh.
the boss on the 246 main theme (with infiltration ~ train remix) by shigeru ume bayashi
tells you that no one who has been to 246 has come back, do you still keep your original intention? The train whizzed past in the unknown tunnel, and the ringing bell was ringing. Getting on and getting off, men, women, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese and English, two or a group, where to start and where to stop, no one gave us an answer!
