The preference for beauty has existed in the world since ancient times. In recent years, the popularity of the showbiz is the best proof of this phenomenon. To this day, beauty is still the first factor in determining whether an artist is popular.
Among the general public, women obviously pay more attention to appearance than men, mainly because in this world of looking at faces, beauty is often a more important tool than the inside.
The 4 songs recommended by the author this time are aimed at this theme. Facing this face-based world, what views do these female singers have?
#1 care about Yan - If I am beautiful
Composer: Chen Huiyang
Lyricist: Lin Xi
Album: Jade Forward
Preface: 0 1
Year of release: 2003
* "Jade Forward" cover *
Caring Yan's early music style was mainly tragic love songs. "If I Was Beautiful" is also a typical example of a woman who expresses her feelings of resentment.
Faced with a lot of pickiness and dislike from her boyfriend, this woman who knows she is not beautiful naturally understands that it is because her appearance is not glamorous and attractive enough. Although her boyfriend did not mention this, he repeatedly distanced herself from her and became hot and cold. A woman who was not willing to be treated like this was naturally dissatisfied.
Although being beautiful can easily attract lovers and win praise, isn’t the inner conduct of your character important? Does the relationship between two people depend only on their appearance?
Obviously, men and women have completely different perceptions. Men think that beauty is more important than anything else, while women only have beauty and everything else is dispensable. Although women know the value of beauty, they are deeply unhappy because women think that other factors are not as important as beauty. Low class.
The differences between men and women cannot reach an agreement, but the reality is that women are subject to male aesthetics, and they can only complain alone.
#2 Xie Anqi - Beauty Element
Composer: Zhou Boxian
Lyricist: Zhou Boxian
Album: Kay One
Preface: 02
Year of release: 2005
*Cover of "Kay One"*
Because in the real society, women are subject to male aesthetics, In order to please men and make themselves more popular, women have embarked on the road of endless study in beauty subjects.
Cosmetics, plastic surgery, weight loss pills... all the techniques and inventions of modern medical science and technology have been collected by women. They study enthusiastically, carefully match them, work hard to decorate and maintain their figure.
If you only dress up for yourself, there is nothing wrong with it. However, if you try your best just for the eyes of men and the favor in the workplace, then of course it is this unfair reality rule that is to blame.
Xie Anqi criticized this absurd phenomenon in "The Beautiful Element". The so-called "beauty equals dignity" and "slimism" are just nonsense concepts imposed on women by the outside world. However, in order not to lose their advantage in the fierce urban competition, women are eliminated and can only cater to and please. In the end, they all become different. There are so many "replica angels" who have lost even their most important personality and self, which is really sad.
However, the absurdity of reality is that everyone can discover its absurdity, but everyone can only devote themselves to the absurdity.
#3 Lu Qiaoyin - Sex and Love
Composer: Lu Qiaoyin
Lyrics: Zhou Yaohui
Album: Color Release
Preface: 01
Year of publication: 2000
*Cover of "Color Release"*
"Hue" is originally a Buddhist term, meaning The shape and appearance of things was later also used to refer to the beauty and appearance of women.
Lu Qiaoyin explained the importance of "hue" to women themselves in "Color and Love".
We are in a reinforced forest, surrounded by colorful and bizarre things. If we don't actively join in the worldly flow, we are afraid that we will become ignored. Women dress up carefully not only to attract others, but also to hide their inner fragility.
They are sensitive by nature and prone to sentimentality. The city is crowded with people and they lack a sense of security. Therefore, they can only rely on their appearance and color to stand gracefully in the urban jungle and become a unique and charming scene.
"Color Release" is a concept album with the theme of "color". Although the opening song "Color and Love" does not mention any specific color, its placement in the entire album serves as an outline.
Although the flowers are becoming more and more charming, the fragility, loneliness, loneliness and emptiness in the woman's heart are clearly visible.
Women’s emotions are hidden under the color. If we explore this, what else can we criticize?
Maybe we shouldn’t insist on criticizing.
#4 Peng Ling - How beautiful it is, how beautiful it is
Composer: Peng Haitong
Lyricist: Lin Xi
Album: How beautiful it is, how beautiful it is
Overture :03
Year of release: 2000
* "As beautiful as you want" Cover *
Whether you hope to become a "beautiful person" in order to please men, or you carefully create your color to become a beautiful urban scenery, it may not be the real solution.
Peng Ling's "As Beautiful as You Want" points out to us the simplest and clearest way that has always been ignored, which is to be a confident and beautiful person, remain sincere, fearless, and be naturally invincible. How beautiful, how beautiful.
Peng Ling's mature and intellectual voice further exaggerates the idea to be conveyed in this song.
"Love will make my face shine, why rely on appearance."
Lin Xi's last sentence in "If I'm Beautiful" is actually a continuation of the concept of "As Beautiful as You Want".
We cannot control our natural appearance. The only thing we can control is how we behave and what mentality we use to enter the world. If you take appearance too seriously, it will naturally become an obstacle everywhere; if you take it as a breeze, the world will become clear and clear.
This is a world that looks at faces, but we should learn to be people who don’t look at faces .
Regardless of beauty or ugliness, optimism is the most important thing. The truth is that simple.
