物道君语：
Luo Dayou is never out of date.
/
Luo Dayou is already 66 years old, but "Childhood" is still not outdated.
Every summer, we can still hum a paragraph and go back to the childhood of "listening to the chuckle by the pond, sitting in the classroom and waiting for school".
People want to grow up quickly only in childhood. When I grew up, I learned that it turned out that every inch of time is hard to buy.
All of these, Luo Dayou has written in the song.
No wonder someone said: "Luo Dayou's song is like a time capsule, and it contains everything you need to experience in life."
Luo Dayou was born in 1954 and he will grow up. At the age of 26, he finished his medical school and came to Taipei. He works in the hospital while writing songs.
At the age of 28, he released his first album "Zhihuzheya", and threatened: "There is no painless song here."
This is true.
In the 1980s, cross-strait music did not hurt or itch. On one side is the ideological national music, on the other side is the majestic sound of the wind.
Luo Dayou's hoarse voice is like a sharp scalpel tearing the blood scabs away, bringing the music to a modern taste. The melody is the roughness of rock, and the lyrics are the expression of literature.
Lives in the feasting Taipei, he communicates with the world face to face.
Once, Luo Dayou went to repair a motorcycle and chatted with a maintenance worker. The other party said that he had come from Lukang and stole 20,000 yuan from his home, and wanted to come to Taipei to make a fortune and go back. Who knows, it didn't take long for the money to be used up by myself. At this moment, I didn't dare to go home, so I had to start a motorcycle repair business.
For some reason, this story could not disperse in Luo Dayou's heart for a long time. Soon he created "Lugang Town":
Lugang Town Luo Dayou-Rolling Stone Golden Song (1)
Taipei is not My home,
My hometown has no neon lights...
Taipei is not the golden paradise I imagined,
There is no original dream in the city...
In the town of Lukang, the home that cannot be returned,
The young people who left home...
Taipei is not the home of the young man who repaired cars, those young people who walked in the heavy rain at night, Watching the red and green neon flashes in the distance in the distance, but not for him. They left their hometown and went to the city, only to find that they could not find their dreams here.
"Lugang Town", written about us in the wandering city, helpless at the age of 28.
Similarly, there is the song "Future Masters":
Future Master Luo Dayou-Luo Dayou·Special Session
You walk through the tall buildings
Through the crowded people
Looking at a modern city
A slice of mercury lamp appeared
Suddenly remembered the distant past
Unfulfilled dream
Once people told you that
You are the protagonist of the future
Luo Dayou foresaw the alienation of people in the city early.
There, young people who are regarded as future masters, alienated into parts of industrial assembly lines, slowly rusting.
became a computer child contaminated by science and technology, facing the computer in a daze; the key child who was socially isolated, facing the wall silent. (Remarks: The key child refers to the lonely left-behind person)
looks like a contemporary young man who is also leaving home, unable to find his dreams, being confined by high housing prices, living in a rental house, obsessed withIn the Internet world on the screen, people can easily find others, but they are extremely lonely.
Our hometown is lost, people are like drifters, there is no way back, no place to come, always halfway, floating around.
Gao Xiaosong said, this is an elegy written by Luo Dayou for us 30 years in advance.
After that, Luo Dayou released several albums in a row, but due to censorship, media, politics and other reasons, he became a protest singer and was boycotted. His anger plunged him into the night. After
's 1984 concert, he announced his withdrawal from the music scene and flew to the United States.
That year, Luo Dayou was just 30 years old.
In New York, Luo Dayou's anger gradually subsided, and he began to focus on personal struggles to the world of others.
On the other side of the ocean, he saw the fate of many Chinese in a foreign country, and he thought about the eastern expression of music. At the same time, China and Britain signed a joint declaration announcing the return of Hong Kong in 1997.
Luo Dayou returned to Hong Kong to set up a music factory. During this period, he wrote many classic film and television songs, and the limelight was no different.
But behind the commercial music, he cared more than when he was 28.
As early as in Taiwan, he wrote a song "Orphans of Asia":
Orphans of Asia Luo Dayou-10 years friend 2
Orphans of Asia crying in the wind
Yellow The face has red mud
Black eyes have white fear
West wind sings sad songs in the east
Asia’s orphans cry in the wind
No one wants to be with you Play the game of equality
Everyone wants your beloved toy
My dear child, why do you cry
In the four hundred years of Taiwan, it has suffered multiple aggressions from Western countries, separated from the motherland, and people Wandering and helpless.
Luo Dayou used the sentence "My dear boy, why are you crying?", to pick out the most vulnerable and lonely nerve of Taiwanese.
The same is true for "Pearl of the Orient". In Hong Kong, the capitalist eastern land, no one sang the wandering emotions of Hong Kong people at that time, and no one paid attention to their identity.
Hong Kong is a more entertaining city than Taiwan, but Luo Dayou has written a song of warmth and affection.
Oriental Pearl Luo Dayou-Luo Dayou·Special
东方之珠My Lover
Is your style still romantic?
月儿弯弯的海港
The night is deep in the lights Shining
东方之珠全夜不睡
Keeping the promise of the vicissitudes of life
Let the sea breeze blow for five thousand years
Every teardrop seems to speak your dignity
Let the sea tide accompany me to bless you
Homesickness is the emotion in the Chinese genes. Luo Dayou sings such nostalgia for us, and becomes a mortal, accompanied by the tide, guarding this small fishing village.
Middle-aged Luo Dayou, has walked out of the dark night, walking on the sunny road. At the end of the road is the broader nation and society, the deepest life itself of others.
After the turn of the century, Luo Dayou suffered the death of his father, divorce, the September 11 terrorist attacks, and the 921 Taipei earthquake. After the low tide of life and the sufferings of the world, after the tempering of time, he showed more care, and the boy finally became a peaceful middle-aged.
As he himself sang: "The story of flowing water that takes time away changes a person."
Time will make a person age slowly, but if there is love in the heart, it will not change so easily. old.
When that "Home Ⅲ" was published, many people said that Luo Dayou was not angry anymore and was old.
even said to himself: "Does the world still need me to be angry?"
But is Luo Dayou really old? No, although he is over half a hundred years old, he feels like living in the morning.
In May of this year, his new compilation re-sang the song "Partner", which was composed by Luo Dayou for SARS in 2003.
He said: We want to dedicate this song to all who are struggling to live with us, this is from Li Chun to Gu Yu in the spring of 2020.
The difference is that when he sang very heavy back then, he will sing again after 17 years, which is more soft and light.
This change may be because of his daughter.
8 years ago, his daughter came to this world, and Luo Dayou, who had been wandering for half his life, had his own home. After leaving Taipei, going around, and finally returning to this place with his wife and daughter, it is hard to give up the white clouds here.
Maybe tomorrow the sun sets and the tired bird has returned.
You will have embarked on the old way back
Life is rare to find a partner to know each other again
Life is hard to leave the blue white cloud sky after all .
——"Love Song 1990"
The birth of his daughter made him from anger to gentleness. Like all fathers, he was worried about the future fate of his young daughter and cared about the future world facing his daughter's generation.
In the song "Fairy Tale Love" he wrote to his daughter, there is such a lyrics:
When will you grow up, and the old me,
What will happen Back to the beautiful scenery of the present day,
We are destined to depend on each other.
He has already begun to think about the time he will depend on his daughter when he is old.
In his early years, Luo Dayou often wrote songs until midnight, and for a long time he had to fall asleep on sleeping pills. This kind of routine made him start at noon in the morning.
And the daughter is the best hypnotism sent to father by the heavens. After having a daughter, he stopped staying up late, because he had to get up early to accompany his daughter to wash up, eat breakfast, and send her to school.
When Luo Dayou walked in Taipei early in the morning with his daughter's hand, he found that the morning in Taipei was originally orderly, and he began to feel a sense.
In the sixtieth year, life has a new morning.
Before, Luo Dayou’s songs were angry and rebellious. Now he is worried that such music is not suitable for his daughter.
Before, Luo Dayou would say: "Prodigal sons like us, the world is our home." Now, Luo Dayou would say: "I agree that everyone should have children when they are about the same age."
As long as you follow the trajectory of life, each age has a different state, but in the end people will return to the simplest mode.
Young frivolous anger will eventually be resolved by love, allowing people to learn to accompany, from anger to gentleness, from selfishness to caring for others.
Luo Dayou is like this, and so are we.
