outline

Born in the rural areas of southern Shandong, he grew up in an industrial town in eastern Hebei (originally living in Zhaogezhuang, guye district, Tangshan, Hebei, but now moving to the United States) and was admitted to Beijing Business School (Beijing Technology and Business University). After graduation, I gave up my major and began to play the piano and sing in bars in Beijing. Hangtian's songs have a strong blues color, which breaks some limitations and melody habits of China's four tones and our appreciation habits. So it can be said that he created a new style of China's songs. However, aerospace is not limited by Bruce's form, but grasps his spiritual essence, integrates with other musical styles, and takes form as the carrier of emotion and content. In terms of content, Hang Tian advocates that music should belong to everyone. Poor people, rich people, directors and farmers all think that music should reflect everything. Love, eating, freedom and eggs make his lyrics simple and straightforward, humorous and ironic, full of humanistic colors, and always reveal a trace of bitterness.

Brief introduction of bands and works

Hang Tianhe Band-My heart is fried broad beans

Release date: 1999

Record company: Wen Jing

Album introduction:

China's first original album of blues-My Heart Fried Broad Beans was produced by Aerospace Band-Aerospace is one of the few outstanding musicians who make blues music in Beijing. The ten works included in this album are all composed and sung by Aerospace itself. His works are based on blues music, but informal, with diverse and unified styles, such as Bibi Dad with BluesRock structure; Jazz-flavored "My heart is fried broad beans"; Gospel-style "Your Eyes".

It is really risky to buy records of domestic rock bands, especially those of Beijing rock band. Whether it is praised to the sky or unheard of, behind more and more exquisite packaging, it is often more and more unbearable garbage. So whenever I see a domestic rock record, I will seriously consider it. I won't consider anything I'm not sure about. Although it is inevitable to be poisoned by the media and miss some good but unfashionable singers and songs, it is better than being fooled by rock scams. Anyway, most of what I miss must be rubbish.

I missed this record once because of this. I hesitated for a long time in a small bookstore with this tape. I don't know what will be in this box. I thought about the recent pile of boring juvenile rock in Beijing and gave up. When I met it for the second time, after careful observation, I found that its English name was actually "MyHeartOfBlues", and I made up my mind to take another adventure. So after listening to this record, I am grateful. I really want to say "well done, buddy" to Hang Tian, who asked me to spend that ten dollars. Finally, someone began to play the blues honestly. What's more gratifying is that the singer and a group of musicians are unfamiliar faces (except that the drummer Guan Fei is the drummer of the flying band), which is a miracle in the narrow and crowded rock circle in Beijing!

Simple, rough and ordinary, this is the Bruce brought to us by the unknown boy Hang Tian, and this is the Bruce I know: it's just an African-American folk song. Although there is a "grandson" who is disloyal and unfilial to his ancestors, Bruce is still Bruce, and he has never lost his innate folk bone. Obviously, Hang Tian and his friends are not the kind of people who have "sacred" musical ideals. They happened to meet Bruce, an illiterate old guy, and made this crispy "fried broad beans" with a loose song.

Hang Tian's trivial lyrics are fried broad bean shells, simple and simple, but there is no lack of charm. My favorite song "My heart is fried broad beans" is one of the most attractive broad beans. Casserole tofu, Misgurnus anguillicaudatus stewed vermicelli, chili diced chicken, shredded pork and garlic seedlings can all be included in the lyrics. This capital is a good dish to stimulate appetite. Of course, the most delicious thing is the taste of chewing broad beans-the taste of Bruce. For me, "originality" is Bruce's greatest enemy. Fortunately, "Aerospace" is not original at all, it is all familiar melodies. The biggest "originality" is that he sings with clear pronunciation and mellow voice, because the restriction of four tones in Chinese is the biggest trouble in singing blues, and it is easy to accidentally sing Chinese into English intonation. Zhang Chi in the rhythm of songs shows the wit of space flight to some extent. Although he will always be Bruce, he is sometimes cheerful, sometimes melancholy, sometimes lyrical and romantic, sometimes cynical, sometimes healthy as a farmer, and sometimes angry as a punk.

Hangtian, an accompaniment band with uncertain personnel, also performed well, keeping calm without losing passion, marching in the simple and charming rhythm of blues, which undoubtedly revealed the psychedelic atmosphere of traditional blues. Although their skills are far less than those of the "Dog of Rhythm" musicians who are known as "the best blues band in China", their original deductive techniques show a musical temperament far closer than the top musicians in the Chinese rock circle and even the so-called jazz circle.

Comments on the album My Heart is Fried Broad Beans

In the hot summer of July and August, 2000, because I like listening to music, I bought many genuine tapes in a Xinhua bookstore, such as Power Train, Wu Bai, Liang Yongqi, Changyu and Grammy. These things constituted the mainstream of my music life at that time, but it seemed that I was curious. I accidentally saw a tape called "My heart is fried broad beans" and was immediately attracted by the cover. After a short period of thinking (beautiful), there is no logic at all), so I bought this tape, and the "space band" and the blues music also "entered" for no reason (not "intruded" because there was almost no internal collision).

Judging from my musical taste at that time, the music played on this tape was obviously "different", which was completely different from the auditory feeling given by love songs in Hong Kong and Taiwan. After listening to a few songs, I didn't feel any recognition and sense of * * * except that I was impressed by the melody rhythm and the melody was beautiful and lyrical. Especially the blues style, "ruffian feeling" and hopeless ruffian gray tone (if you don't think too much, I will fry broad beans, etc.). ) in the album, it is unacceptable for high school students who are used to listening to Hong Kong and Taiwan pop music and have not experienced the ups and downs of their lives. This high school student is bent on his academic performance, his grade ranking, being admitted to a famous university and then living the upper life of the rich in big cities. After the second semester of senior two, the photo album was borrowed by my classmates. Because I didn't care, I didn't know where I went after borrowing it.

Ten years have passed, and great changes have taken place in the external and internal environment. From 200 1, as a novice fan, I really like rock and roll. Many tapes are gradually thrown aside, while others, which have been very cold, begin to spin enthusiastically. Up to now, I find that I still lack a systematic understanding of Chinese rock music and have insufficient interest. I can basically accept all metal music, while other styles of underground music and non-mainstream music are always at arm's length, as if deliberately avoiding something. But today, without any warning, this "Space Band" album once again appeared in the field of vision. When I saw its cover, something in my heart seemed to suddenly wake up. To my surprise, my first reaction was not to listen to your eyes, but to open our happy cows and sheep. Bibi Dad, don't think too much. With full expectations, after listening to three songs, I was not disappointed at all, but very kind and excited. I found that the lyrics written by band lead singer Hang Tian are exquisite, not only humorous and playful in style, but also full of civilian life, and the metaphorical lyrics are also very accurate and meaningful. For example, "We are all happy cattle and sheep" sings in the first paragraph: "We are sitting on an old truck/driving to a place. This song consists of three narratives, each of which has a solid structure and complete semantics. At the same time, on the basis of steady narrative progress, a semantic space full of tension and layering is constructed with repetitive structure and "we are all happy cattle and sheep" (fable, black humor and humanistic care are harmoniously intertwined), which is obviously a rare narrative poem!

The following is a detailed description of my overall feelings about this album:

First, most of the lyrics of the album seem to be full of the bitterness and ridicule of street bullies ("rogue words" in Zhu's "The Feast of Rogues"). If you carefully taste them, you can see a deep humanistic concern, which comes from a long-term cold-eyed insight into political and social phenomena and a serious thinking and thorough understanding of the state of public life (such as "I Hope" and "Bibi Dad").

Second, the lead singer's voice is sometimes lazy (such as "My Heart Fried Broad Beans") and sometimes fierce and manic (such as "Money"), which is a completely frenzied scene. The objective "other" perspective seems to completely collapse, just like the crazy attack of the lead singer himself. But judging from the whole album, this song is not so much the vent of the lead singer's emotions as the occasional vent of people in this material society.

Third, the album *** 10 songs, count them, five songs are all related to love. Obviously, "love" is a part that cannot be ignored, even the highlight of the album. These five songs are: My heart is fried broad beans, and you look so charming. Give it back to me and your eyes. After careful comparison and listening, we will find that the five songs are not the same, but each has its own characteristics and connotations: My heart is fried broad beans and Fool have a slow rhythm, and the rich songs of blues and blues are obviously extinguished and far-reaching, but the lyrics of the former are strangely blended with elegant poet temperament. Give it back to me has a lively rhythm and sonorous singing, and the lyrics are full of sharp (even bitter) and direct criticisms, such as "I gave you everything, you shameless woman, you always hated me, you always hated looking at other people's cars, your heart flew to the sky, you left Sichuan, you learned to be gorgeous, and you learned to give it back to me, my time, my money and my salary bonus. At the same time, it also expresses the abandonment of materialism and the firm belief in its own value position: "Bye-bye will bring down people like me, and you will never find them again", showing your temperament in laughter and abuse; "You Look Charming" is also lively, but the theme is clear and simple, full of emotion, and the expression is direct, simple and vivid, full of sincere youthful sunshine, which is completely different from popular songs: "You look at me, I miss you for three days, and then you laugh, and I am sure I can't sleep. I only have your girl in my heart, and you make my head dizzy "; The fifth song "Your Eyes" "Today's moon is beautiful. I walk in the moonlight, and the wind in the forest is as gentle as your hand in my hair". What could be more romantic, beautiful, quiet and intoxicated than this lyric? Capella and harmony correspond to each other and are intertwined. What could be more touching and pure than such a song? You don't have to deliberately mobilize your memory. It seems that you have been in the campus forest at night, accompanied by a faint full moon, sometimes a summer breeze, and a teenager's inner throb. The most interesting thing is that these five songs are arranged in a little order, which seems to show the personal inner course and many aspects of human nature.

Fourthly, according to the arrangement, the folk flavor, like the blues style of this album, is another important element that cannot be ignored, but it is different from the sentimental lyricism and cynicism of campus folk songs, such as Fool, which is sad but not hurt, and resentful but not angry.

The overall arrangement of this album and the arrangement of each song can almost be said to be exquisite, delicate, full of sense of space and circulation, which are the characteristics of most songs. The songs complement each other and the priorities are interspersed with each other, which is the characteristic of the whole album.

6. Unfortunately, the practical problems involved in this album in the late 1990s are still widespread in today's society, and some problems are even getting worse. For example, the song "I hope" says "I hope everyone can live in a heated building" (the housing problem of ordinary people and the gap between the rich and the poor in society) and "I hope the mothers of college students can pay the bills" (the problem of education fees). The utilitarian and mechanized market economy has squeezed the space of "illusory" idealism and curbed the development of the public "aesthetic organs". Material desires are eroding the social spirit and body in depth and breadth. In 2006, the famous "Pear Blossom Poetry Incident" took place, and the masses took up self-righteous weapons and launched a group ridicule on contemporary experimental poets. "I hope justice is stronger than power. )

Tonight, while writing these thoughts, I played this space band album, I don't know how many times, but I still don't want to stop the music when I write here. Combined with the living conditions of underground music in China since the early 1990s, when you understand the course of the space band, I think we will all say fairly that the sincerity and persistence of an artist like Aerospace, who transcends material constraints, is worthy of respect and admiration at first.

"I hope" (Hang Tian

I hope we can try to change our lives;

I hope no one has made mistakes;

I hope everyone has the same back door;

I hope foreigners look the same as Beijingers. '

I wish my father wouldn't always impose on me;

I hope no one in this world is afraid of anyone;

I hope naughty children are not afraid of their father's legs;

I hope that women can freely refuse men's mouths;

I wish I could stop calling grandpa long live;

I hope no one can give orders;

I hope that I can just complain and comfort myself;
