Red - Song Intro|紅– 歌曲簡介|红– 歌曲简介

When I was young at school I could really be considered an activist. Besides studying, I spent just about all my spare time participating in extracurricular activities. Recalling the life back then, it was really very enriched! Amongst which of course I learnt musical instruments, and guzheng was one of them. Perhaps some friends still remember I once performed the guzheng before, this is the musical instrument that accompanied me during my childhood growing up, and also the instrument that let me learn how to find joy in music. At that time, one of the Chinese music that I had to learn, a song that left a very deep impression on me, until today I have the opportunity to make a cover album, this song has also given me some inspirational stimulus. I hope I can apply it to use on some new compositions.

Among the album this is the only completely new composition. Me and producer Zhang Yadong both consider producing an electronic song rich in ethnic colour to be an extremely challenging task. At the same time we also hoped to bring out the notion of a Chinese classic folk song flavour throughout the whole album, therefore I suggested the song to the composer and lyricist to look at. This song seeks to create an imposing force that's boundless, no matter if it's in the melody, lyrics or arrangement, together they can express the strong and powerful immense feeling, the elements of the original song are also permeated in the music. Lyricist Francis Lee has his own unique view on "Red", within the lyrics there are only two colours, "red" and "yellow". This symbolizes the colour of our Chinese national characteristic, making this song particularly full of hot-blooded emotion.

Producer Zhang Yadong said:

This completely new work, seeks to create the feeling of a Chinese mistral wind, extremely rough and wild. Francis Lee's lyrics also grasps the special feeling that people have towards the colour red, vividly bringing the text into play, forming a perfect combination with the song's melody. | 小時候我在學校裡面真的可算是一個活躍份子,除了讀書之外我差不多花光所有餘下的時間用來參加課餘活動,回憶起那個時候的生活真是過的非常很充實!其中我當然有學習樂器,古箏便是其中之一。可能有些朋友還記得我曾經表演過古箏,這是陪伴著我童年成長的樂器,也是讓我學會從音樂上找到歡樂的樂器。那時要學習的中國音樂當中,《山丹丹花開紅豔豔》一曲給我留下非常深刻的印像,直到今天我有機會做一張翻唱專輯,這首歌也帶給我一些靈感上的刺激,希望可以套用在一些新的樂曲上面使用。prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /

 

這是專輯中唯一一首全新的創作,我跟製作人張亞東都認為製作一首富有民族色彩的電子歌曲是蠻有挑戰性的事情,同時也希望以帶出中國民族經典歌曲的味道來貫徹整張專輯的概念,所以我將《山丹丹花開紅豔豔》一曲提議給作曲及作詞人參考。這首歌曲營造出磅礴的氣勢,無論是在旋律、歌詞及編曲上都能同時表達出強而有力的浩瀚感覺,原曲部份的元素也滲透在音樂當中。填詞人李焯雄對“紅”有他獨特的見解,在詞中只有兩種顏色就是“紅”跟“黃”色,這標誌著我們中國民族特色的顏色,使歌曲特別充滿著熱血的情感。

 

 

製作人張亞東的話:

 

這首全新的創作,營造出具有中國西北風的感覺,非常粗曠野性。李焯雄的詞也抓住了人們對紅色的那份特殊情感,在文字中發揮得淋漓盡致,跟歌曲的旋律形成了完美的配搭。| 小时候我在学校裡面真的可算是一个活跃份子,除了读书之外我差不多花光所有馀下的时间用来参加课馀活动,回忆起那个时候的生活真是过的非常很充实!其中我当然有学习乐器,古筝便是其中之一。可能有些朋友还记得我曾经表演过古筝,这是陪伴着我童年成长的乐器,也是让我学会从音乐上找到欢乐的乐器。那时要学习的中国音乐当中,《山丹丹花开红豔豔》一曲给我留下非常深刻的印像,直到今天我有机会做一张翻唱专辑,这首歌也带给我一些灵感上的刺激,希望可以套用在一些新的乐曲上面使用。   这是专辑中唯一一首全新的创作,我跟製作人张亚东都认为製作一首富有民族色彩的电子歌曲是蛮有挑战性的事情,同时也希望以带出中国民族经典歌曲的味道来贯彻整张专辑的概念,所以我将《山丹丹花开红豔豔》一曲提议给作曲及作词人参考。这首歌曲营造出磅礴的气势,无论是在旋律、歌词及编曲上都能同时表达出强而有力的浩瀚感觉,原曲部份的元素也渗透在音乐当中。填词人李焯雄对“红”有他独特的见解,在词中只有两种颜色就是“红”跟“黄”色,这标志着我们中国民族特色的颜色,使歌曲特别充满着热血的情感。     製作人张亚东的话:   这首全新的创作,营造出具有中国西北风的感觉,非常粗旷野性。李焯雄的词也抓住了人们对红色的那份特殊情感,在文字中发挥得淋漓尽致,跟歌曲的旋律形成了完美的配搭。
