On July 12, Xu Song released his independently created seventh album "Treasure Hunt". For those who don't pay much attention to him, Xu Song has gradually faded out of the public eye in recent years. In fact, his fans also admit this. However, Xu Song's "niche music" has developed by leaps and bounds in the past few years. , brought us many surprises.
Once upon a time, popular songs such as "Funeral of Roses", "Why Not", "Half the City of Smoke and Sand" spread throughout the streets, and Xu Song also became one of the "Three QQ Music Musicians" in people's mouth. One of the "giants", but many people don't know that Xu Song's songs, from composing lyrics and music to planning and production, were all completed by him alone. At the beginning of his debut, he was an independent musician. It's just that we didn't realize at that time that he had a different exploration and pursuit of music itself than others. This characteristic was revealed in 2011. On April Fool's Day of that year, Xu Song released the iconic album "Socera has no bottom", which "distinguishes casual fans from true fans". This album caused Xu Song to lose a lot of fans. , which also indirectly caused him to gradually fade out of people's sight. In this album, he firmly flaunted his attitude: rejecting popular music and embracing pure music.
Those who stay and continue to accompany him are lucky, because this is just the beginning of his transformation. This album is full of groping and testing, and it puts forward individual views on social topics. We heard "Demolish the East Wall" and "Weibo Control"; we heard dissatisfaction and criticism of the decadent status quo, such as "Toast without Eating" and "Destroy People". "Tireless"; of course, the best "Xu Style Love Song", "In Imagination", "Doctor" and "Double Side" did not disappoint us. Socrates famously said: I know one thing, that is, I know nothing. The exploration of the unknown made Xu Song fall into the bottomless abyss of music.
After true fans expressed their immense love for "Socrates Has No Bottom", they are naturally looking forward to the release of the next album. However, the release of the first hit song "Carrot Beard" of the fourth album undoubtedly gave fans a blow. Almost no one understood what Xu Song was saying. It is precisely because of this that fans have grown up with Xu Song. After listening to songs such as "Audiotic Hallucinations", "With the Tiger", "Pretending to Be Confused" and "Global Cooling" in the album, fans will suddenly understand. Xu Song said: If the day is destined to be filled with running around, then in the dream please follow me and save yourself by swimming. From the bustling crowds and the greedy city, we long to escape in the dark and find the true self. From this point of view, Xu Song put aside "realism" and began to transition to "surrealism". He no longer cares about everything, but floated above the clouds and expounded on the harshness of the world in an unconstrained manner.
However, no matter how wild and detached he is, the questions still exist, the answers are still unknown, and Xu Song sometimes can't figure it out. So from 2012 to 2014, he did not release an album. He gave himself back to nature, traveling and searching everywhere. Fans have also been waiting for it for two years.
It turns out that the wait was worth it. When Xu Song reappeared, he had become a true "sage". If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it. If you can't guess it, then don't bother to guess. Don't worry, wait until the fireworks cool down, and the truth will naturally come to light. Don't panic, life only lasts a hundred years, but with a flick of the finger, there are peach blossoms among the mountains and rivers, and you can get a glimpse of the universe. Big, screw your earthly pomposity, walk around, have tea and tea.
It can be said that Xu Song has climbed a peak so far. This peak is something that many people cannot climb in their lifetime. Then Xu Song reached a new starting point. This year, he turned 30, and the name of this album was "Youth Evening News". Xu Song summarized and said goodbye to the past, and then told the world: I used to be vulgar and elegant. Now, what is elegant and vulgar is just the prejudice of the world. All I have to do is myself. In this newspaper, the entertainment headline is written about the best singer, the art column is written about photography art, scientific and technological exploration is written about parallel universe, the beauty of culture is written about swallows returning to the nest, health and wellness is written about going to bed early for good health, and women's life is written about magic fat. , oh yes, there are also strange stories in the complaints section, which is really dazzling and all-encompassing. Ten years after his debut, Xu Song brought a perfect end to his youth.
Do you think this is the end? A good screenwriter will never let the audience guess the development of the plot. In this latest album "Treasure Hunt", Xu Song played a fun game with everyone. The retro music style enhanced the lyrics that were both solemn and humorous, leaving the audience completely confused.
His personal charm is more comprehensively reflected in "Old Antique". When you first listen to this song, you will feel that there is a lot to express. After listening to it a few times, you will find that it is just talking about himself. If you listen to it again after a while, you may understand it again. There are different feelings. It corresponds to the three realms of "Seeing a mountain is a mountain, seeing a mountain is not a mountain, seeing a mountain is still a mountain". Unfortunately, few people can touch the last level. Xu Song is still a being who looks up to the mountains after all.
Legend has it that when Li Bai saw Yang Yuhuan admiring peonies, he wrote three "Qingping Diao" poems. The most famous one used flowers as metaphors to describe Yang Guifei's national beauty and heavenly fragrance. To the extreme: the clouds think of clothes, the flowers think of face, the spring breeze blows the threshold and the dew is thick. If we hadn't seen him at the top of Qunyu Mountain, he would have met at Yaotai under the moon. This poem is perfectly suitable to describe Xu Song's accomplishments in singing.
