After reading the following diary, you will know what kind of person Kaju is (this diary was written on 20 13). June is really a sad season. During this time, I have been drinking and singing away my friends almost every day ... and when a person leaves, he will never come back ... covering his ears, thinking that he will never hear the roaring person again, blindfolded, thinking that he will never see the trembling scars again. But I still couldn't help writing an article for him ... I collected some information, sorted it out, wrote it for three days, and gambled all my literary talents just to write a diary that satisfied me. My friend, if you see this diary, please read it carefully, because it is the seventh year since my freshman year, and I won't write it for him again. I will go directly to Hong Kong when I have the chance ... Here I will tell you the story of Beyond Ka Kui Wong from the following ten aspects: (1) I can't explain why the Hong Kong music scene loved Beyond so much at that time, just as I can't explain why the earth always revolves around the sun. I don't know why Ka-kui died abroad, but I know that Ka-kui must die in Japan ... Is it strange? Let's talk about the pop music scene in Hong Kong at that time ... Let me list ten classic songs of Hong Kong and Taiwan in the past 20 years: "Sad Pacific" Richie Jen; "Qian Qian Que Ge" Priscilla Chan; "Have you all the way" Jacky Cheung; "I only care about you" Teresa Teng; "Red Sun" Hacken Lee; "Green Apple Paradise" Little Tiger; Karen Mok's The Fruits of Summer; "Flower Heart" Emil Wakin Chau; Faye Wong, a fragile woman; The wind has been blowing, Leslie Cheung ... I wonder how many songs you have heard? Isn't it classic? However, I want to tell you that these are Japanese songs that are covered ... Until now, it seems that Japan also looks down on us China people from the bottom of my heart. ....
As a colorful metropolis, Hong Kong seldom had its own original music! Behind this glamorous world, it is the lost soul in the erosive night. Through the evaporation of alcohol, the song of forgetting me belongs to my own sunshine years. Look! An angel traveled across the world with lofty musical ideals and formed a legendary rock band-Beyond with several like-minded young people. The name of the band explains the meaning of its existence-transcendence! So, you have tried your best to prove yourself that guitar is your sword and singing is your chariot ... Sometimes I wonder if a person should be a madman or a legend if he insists on living according to his own heart. Let's put aside the coat of transcendence for the time being, which is actually true and has another glory.
In fact, he is such a singer. When he was a child, he was very naughty and was always beaten. He is stubborn and always wants to argue with others; He is very demanding. If he plays the wrong key, his younger brother will be scolded and cried ... The most contradictory and uncomfortable thing is that he gradually understands that those crazy fans under the stage are not really because of your music. In fact, they don't know you at all, but they love you so sincerely. What a rogue thing this is. Who can understand him? He hates fans singing with him when he sings. Although most stars now use this to create an atmosphere, he doesn't want that so-called noise. In his eyes, this behavior is superficial and disrespectful to the music itself. In fact, the greatest respect for him is to understand his songs ... but what can he do? He wants to keep singing, and that's what he is, stubborn to the end! Many people think he is indestructible. No, he's not! Because he is just an ordinary person. ...
(3) Ordinary songs. When ordinary people were young, Ka Kui had the kind of sadness sung in Like You. Unlike those love songs that cater to commercial speculation now, this song "Like You" was really revealed by Ka Kui. At that time, Ka-kui was easily haggard ... His girlfriend saw that he was addicted to music all day and didn't care about her, so the girl Xiang Jiaju made a request: as long as Ka-kui could give up music, she would entrust him with the happiness of her life. This request embarrassed Ka Kui, but in the end Ka Kui decided to give up love and wrote this love song. I like to sing this song alone in KTV. I saw Ka Kui's satisfied and regretful smile at the concert, with tears in her eyes. He frowned slightly and stared at the distance ... when he reached the climax, his voice seemed to tremble ... and he finished the sentence "I fought for myself before, but I never knew her pain."
(4) Goodbye ideal ... Goodbye, ideal He gave up everything for music, but music almost abandoned him! How ironic! Beyond did it all by himself, from the packaging design of the first album to all the recording dubbing. And that concert, not only didn't make money, but also lost more than 6000 yuan. None of the previously invited record company agents arrived as scheduled ... and there was an 88-year Beijing concert, and the audience ran away before the performance was over. When you sang the song "Footprints of the Old Times (Mandarin Edition)" in stuttering Mandarin and announced that you would return to this stage, I concluded: Suffering, that will be your practice ... Finally, you finally succeeded, in a blink of an eye, eight years (the band was founded in 19 1). In the eight years when many people have gone through a relaxed college time, experienced the hardships of finding a job and planned to marry their beloved girlfriend, you have seen all the glitz in the world, faced countless misunderstandings and curses, shouldered the dream of rock and roll, stood in the eyes of others and never knelt down. At the concert in Beijing in 2003, Paul Wong said: "I promised everyone in 1988 that we would come back, so now, we are back." He also left us for ten years ... only this time, the stadium with more than 60 thousand people was packed. ...
(5) the brilliance of human nature. What kind of spirit is supporting Beyond? What unique magic do they have to drive so many fans crazy? Beyond's rock and roll is a kind of life, an attitude, a pity for the working people at the bottom of society, and a strong accusation against the bizarre phenomenon in Hong Kong! So they start from themselves, use practical actions to influence, to soothe those deformed and injured souls, and strive to bring the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature to those in need, and finally convey humanistic, atmospheric and in-depth content through pleasant melody! Please forgive my ignorance. After listening to Beyond's songs, I realized that music can also express my feelings and serve the country and the people!
Speaking of Ka Kui, as an ordinary person, he resolutely faced everything with a smile when he was frustrated and struggling, and still sang his love and ideals for us when he was most down and out. In fact, this is not the greatness of ka kui ... because thought is the best wealth and personality is the most beautiful scenery! I have always believed that what you conquered the world is not only your brilliant musical talent, but also your brilliant human brilliance: you love life, you sing peace, and you use music to tell us what self-improvement is and what perseverance is. You use music to judge: life is not high or low, skin color is not high or low, and all beings are equal! This is the fundamental reason why I love Ka Ju, and it is also the watershed for him to draw a clear line with all other stars ... What adjectives can you use to describe other singers, such as "Song God", "King of Songs" and "Popular Idol". As for Ka Kui, I can only think of one word, and that is-greatness!
(6) Archangel or angry God of War?
Perhaps, only excellent people will go to Africa at the peak of their careers and eat and play games with those dirty black children. Then, I put what I saw and heard into my own music. That kind of great love, regardless of color, race, language and country, has injected full positive energy into the music scene in Hong Kong ... Now I can finally understand why the seemingly ordinary "Days of Our Lives" will make the South African president who does not understand Cantonese cry. Ka kui, a unique angel of music, you are really powerful.
I still remember when the media gossiped about your private life instead of your music, you were angry and caused a sensation in the whole music industry! As far as I can remember, you were the first singer to stand up against commercial speculation. You want your fans to pay attention to your music itself, instead of moaning wildly there. Not only that, you also broke the unhealthy trend that Hong Kong singers like to cover Japanese songs. Yes, you awakened the music scene in Hong Kong. All your songs come from life, which is why your songs are so different and have social demands. Why did God send you down and give you such a short life? If you were still alive, the current Chinese music scene would not be so bad! Writing here … I seem to understand the profound meaning of his sentence "There is no music scene in Hong Kong, only entertainment circle".
After listening to Ka Ju's songs, I learned about his musical life and found that the original "King of Heaven" and "Queen of Heaven" buffoons were all fucking clouds. What exactly is art? Are they love songs and hot dances? Or have sex every night? Is it the lyrics that hip-hop can't sing clearly or the so-called hahahahahaha after 90? Fuck! Looking at the music scene for twenty years, in that impetuous era, only Ka Kui's songs are the cries from the depths of the soul. ...
(7) The dream catcher's ideal.
Say he is persistent or stubborn, along the way, maybe you have realized that the guitar is so tired; Maybe you have realized how difficult it is not to bow to money; Maybe you have realized how many bumps you will encounter when you stick to your beliefs ... there are always corners that have been smoothed and ideals that have been destroyed, but you have never been far from this road and want to surpass it. The first step of this transcendence is to challenge the Japanese music scene ... because you once said, "I want to lead the world to create a new truth, which will give up every lesson and let me find everything and my ideal." So, 1992, Beyond, a quartet with lofty musical ideals, came to Japan, which respected originality more, and began their new journey ... However, this song of freedom and passion unexpectedly came to an abrupt end in June of 1993. ...
(8) Behind the vast sky
In my opinion, Ka-kui's last swan song in front of him, the shocking "Broad Sky", is a true portrayal of Ka-kui's ten-year course: how many years of pursuit, how many worries and dreams, how much love and innocence, shuttled through this world of mortals ... just like the song sings: "Today, I watched the snow drift away on a cold night and floated away with a cold heart." How many nights do I seem to see him? "How many times, in the face of cold eyes and ridicule, I never gave up my ideals." Yes, think about the music scene in those days, think about what you have paid for music without regrets, but what you get is more abuse and curses from mortals. In Hong Kong with all kinds of amorous feelings, if he switched to the film industry like the "Four Kings" at that time, and then opened up the mainland market, through his own efforts and commercial packaging, he would certainly be able to mix the titles of "King of Heaven" and "Film Emperor" ... Only in this way would he violate Beyond's original musical mission, and only in this way would his status as an idol star be completely destroyed ... But Ka Kui Wong is Ka Kui Wong, a word. Coincidentally, he really fell ... and it was 20 years. ...
(9) The most beautiful ending
The word "peace and perfection" in the world has given him what mortals can't have and what mortals can't stand. What is commendable is that he regards all the unbearable sufferings of ordinary people as a kind of practice in life and grinds the sharp knife that stabbed him into the eternal soul of music. As the old saying goes, if a Sri Lankan wants to make heaven a great task, he must first suffer from his mind, work hard on his bones and muscles, starve his body, empty his body and do whatever he wants. Now, I really understand this sentence. Even if Ka Kui's life continues, it will only double the pain, because he can't change the operation mode of modern society, but he is unwilling to compromise, so he will only persist in the suffering of contradictions and pains, so the story has already doomed this happy ending ... Do you believe that he is an angel who fell into the world? If he can meet one day, I believe his smile will still be as bright as the sunset glow on the horizon!
(10) Ka Kui, I love you!
Hehe, the vicissitudes of past lives, the scenery of future generations, how many lost truths and how many desires have become tragic in that ancient country? In your short life, you have exhausted yourself and illuminated the people of Qian Qian who absolutely love you. Ka kui, do you know? You are the one who can make us cry with a smile ... Thanks to Beyond, he touched us when we were young. Time flies, time flies, only music lasts forever. Let's find that belief in this flashy world, and stick to our dreams even if we have to bow to reality. ...
