"Chrysanthemums, ancient swords and wine, coffee soaked into the noisy pavilions, foreigners worshiping the ancient moon in the Temple of the Sun, the prosperous Kaiyuan era are fascinating", the lyrics of the rock band "Tang Dynasty" vividly depict the relationship between wine and music. Among the poems left to us by thousands of years of sages, wine, swords and flowers have to be mentioned. The relationship between these rhythms is like the ups and downs of music, which reflects the breadth and depth of our culture.
We have been drinking wine for thousands of years, and riding on Hot Wheels to the bit era, will wine become holographic numbers like information from now on? impossible! It has the same irreplaceable status as music. As flesh and blood, we humans naturally have emotions, joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. Wine is the best placebo, and music, like coffee companion, is everywhere and unimaginable. The intoxicated world will be a rhythmless silence. The 40 songs recommended by
today come from the column written for "Guide to Smart Living". Each song contains deep emotions and stories, like parallel universes that are difficult to discover when awake. We should sing songs while drinking, and those mirages will slowly emerge in the drunkenness. I hope everyone will be happy listening to it. ——The author of this article: Hu Sike (most of the songs selected are from the "Midnight Saul" program on Chen Huanzhong Radio of NetEase Cloud Music)

The following text (the song can be listened to on major music platforms)
, Lea Rue: Sleep, For The Weak
Draw the curtains, block out the light, close your eyes, and have a glass of thin wine to resist the long night in the darkest moment. In the tipsy state, in deep sleep, and in every twilight dawn, you are the unknown dream god, the night wandering god who collects and refuses to leave.
Lea Rue, a new Belgian female singer-songwriter. Her real name is Emma Lauwers, born on October 1, 1993.
, Camila Cabello / Young Thug: Havana
The sugar-coated devil makes people love and fear, but if you don't dance with him, it will be an eternal regret. Dancing under the moonlit beaches of Havana, running wildly on the streets of East Atlanta at midnight, oh, minute after minute, like century after century, never ending.I will never finish the wine tonight. I have known this fate from the beginning, so I must leave, before dawn, before I get drunk, and before I sink. But please let me dance one last dance, all my body and soul are left in Havana.
Camila Cabello, a member of the American girl group Fifth Harmony, was born in 1997 and is of Cuban origin. She immigrated to the United States when she was five years old and has now left the band to pursue a solo career.
. Ruth Zeng: We are far apart
When I am drunk alone on the street, what I miss most are the people who are far away. Meeting by chance, passing each other by chance, looking back suddenly, being far apart... Regret is like an aphrodisiac, making longing even deeper. At such a time, with this music, it is inevitable to think of this poem - "Candle candles in the morning, bright moon, fragrant autumn orchid fragrance. Fragrant and good night hair, smell my hall with the wind. The husband cherishes the long journey, and the wanderer loves his hometown. In the cold winter In the morning of December, I look down at the river and the floating clouds. My friends are separated by mountains and seas, and we will never see each other again. I wish you happiness. Lingde, love Jingguang at any time. "——Han "Four Poems by Su Wu and Li Ling"

Later, he closed his own company and engaged in private teaching of singing skills.
. Ma Liang: The rest of my life
When the sun sets, we stand up with nostalgia, brush the dust off our buttocks, and bid farewell to the fading spring. Packing memories into our luggage, we won’t be too lonely when we travel alone. For the rest of my life, everything is you. The winter snow is you, the spring flowers are you, the summer rain is you, the autumn yellow is still you, the warmth and coldness of the four seasons are you.
Ma Liang was born in Xinjiang in 1990. In 2018, he released his masterpieces "The Rest of My Life" and "Wake Up and Drunk" and other music works. An independent musician who focuses on free music creation and lives with his heart.
, Buddy Guy: What Kind Of Woman Is This?
Huh? Did an angel walk by just now? When I'm drunk. Every time I get high, an angel comes to me silently and leaves quietly before I wake up. During the long drowsiness, I felt that the door of heaven was opened for a minute, and the light there was particularly strong, illuminating the dark life more clearly. I missed the chaos with no time scale and no specific reference. I saved a barrel of angel tears and planned to brew them into wine when I woke up.
Buddy Guy is a representative figure of Chicago blues. He has influenced Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan and many others. He is a pioneer who influenced the development of rock .

Blues Player”.
, John Lee Hooker: One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer
These notes truly record every running life: happiness, sadness, silence... Contrasts arise in comparison. Although fragments of life are vigorous, time can make them blurry. No. John Lee Hooker sublimated pathos into simple and powerful rhythms, compact and unmodified syncopation, free improvisation, and vague and low roaring moans that penetrated into people's hearts and feet, causing feet and bodies to tremble together. It started to sway and entered a state of intentional loss of control.
John Lee Hooker, American blues music master. The trick he used to conquer audiences of several generations was his charming melodies and hypnotic singing. From the 1960s to 1990, John Lee Hooker alone supported a history of blues music.
, Echo & The Bunnymen: Just A Touch Away
Early autumn, mid-autumn and late autumn are all gray and yellow. It is suitable to listen to a song with gray and yellow tones and taste the indescribable melancholy. This music is bitter, dark, sad, and quiet, just like the atmosphere of old black and white sentimental movies.A low-key psychedelic atmosphere in the style of the 1960s permeates the earth, turning tolerance and indifference into a sigh, giving such insight into the world.
In the post-punk landscape of the 1980s, Echo & The Bunnymen were a beautiful sight. With their rough and dark passion, they were unique in the post-punk movement and expanded the influence of post-punk from Britain to the world. The band reunited in 1997 and are still a British hardcore band.
, Sophia Ayana: Heartbreak Hotel
Losing love makes oneself humble. Disordered love grows against the trend in disappointment, swallowing up the self and the universe like a cancer cell. The wonderful thing is that this self-growing love cancer cell also looks left and right like music, sometimes slowly and sometimes suddenly stopping and walking, as if it is reflecting on itself and feeling pity for itself. The sadness at the moment when the music stopped was so beautiful. I was intoxicated in my tears and let the rhythm take away my steps, shaking uncontrollably.
Sophia Ayana, a Dutch African-American female singer. She released her first solo single in 2017 and was hailed as the "next Rihanna".
, Sophie Zelmani: You Can Always Long For May
I heard the song "You Can Always Long For May" in March, and my heart suddenly hurt, and I almost shed tears. As expected, I felt extremely lonely. Sophie Zelmani uses the simplest elements, the most poetic words, and the most transparent singing to properly pull out the most delicate emotions in her heart and display them in front of the night wandering gods. The cool and beautiful singing of this elf's voice makes people unable to control themselves, but this is not a dark song. These quiet sounds are suitable for the resurrected soul. The pain will eventually scab, and she is like a close friend who has gone through adversity together, comforting you and me with her crisp guitar and sweet singing.
Sophie Zelmani, a folk female singer from Sweden. She has conquered a large number of fans in Sweden, Europe and even Asia with her poetic words that are life-like and sincere from the heart, as well as her simple, clean and transparent music that can directly touch the delicate emotions hidden deep in the soul.
0, Joseph Arthur: Nuclear Daydream
This is a picture full of loneliness. We can feel the touching temperature in the melody. The friendly guitar syncopation plays the role of a super painter, filling in the white light. We mapped the place of dreams.
Joseph Arthur was born in a small town in Ohio, USA. After an unsuccessful punk rock experience, he was discovered by the famous singer Peter Gabriel, and then began his personal songwriting. Later, he had a personal record label with the same name as his band, with a dreamy name called Lonely Astronaut Records. He is very talented in painting, and he completed all the designs on the record.
1, Leem Lubany: Wild World
Holiday leisure, the best gift to give wine is to watch TV dramas. While rummaging through the set-top box, I found a movie called "Rock the Kasbah", in which Bill Murray plays a washed-up rock manager who comes to Afghanistan and is penniless. Then he discovered a girl with singing talent... The plot was bland, even bad, but a familiar yet unfamiliar song came from it, which reminded me of many unforgettable past events. I used to be in Mr. Big’s I heard it on the record, the song title is "Wild World", look at its lyrics - "Oh! Baby, this is a savage world, it's hard to survive by smiling." It hit the heart instantly. The song is sung by the heroine Leem Lubany. To be honest, few actors can sing so beautifully.
Leem Lubany is an American actress who has appeared in several films including "The Casbah of Rock".
2, Daniela Andrade: Creep
For lucky fans, a paradoxical fact is: when our youth needs a certain song, it happens to be there. So it became a road monument, engraved with memories. Radiohead's "Creep" is such a song, suitable for every youth who has ever been miserable. No matter how our lives are decided, we all have a time when we need to self-destruct, self-deprecating, and self-denial.Otherwise, we won’t get the chance to break away from garbage emotions. I specially chose a cover version of the frigid style to recommend to everyone, because I think the fantasy in this cold mist is very fresh, ecstatic, and heartbreaking. The original song is very different. You can think of it as another signpost in time, leading you to the unknown and mysterious forest.
Daniela Andrade is a Honduran-Canadian alternative female singer whose works are popular on the Internet. Her most famous work is "Crazy".
3, Buena Vista Social Club: El Cuarto De Tula
There was a time when I dreamed of going to Cuba, imagining the Caribbean wind blowing in Havana, on the beach, in the small bar, in the smell of cigars and wine, letting my heart fly. flame. This wish may not be easy to realize, but no one can stop me from imagining it. My imagination roams the stars, and my imagination takes a leisurely stroll. In my imagination, I come to a bar, and this music plays at the right time. I hope that this music will carry me to fly to the stars and dedicate my soul to the goddess of night. The simple music of
condenses all the emotions. The natives who understand Spanish may smile knowingly at the jokes in the song, but for outsiders like us, we are more easily infected by the magic of the music itself. The sound of maracas, guitars and wind instruments is a metaphor for the future, and the hoarse singing sounds light and airy, like a condensed life. I just want to finish the glass of wine, and then join this simple dance and merge into the flowing red lip flames.
Buena Vista Social Club is a Latin music and art group initiated by the famous American music producer Ry Cooder and more than 50 old Cuban artists including Ibrahim Ferrer. It was originally the name of an entertainment venue 70 years ago. This big band combines different styles of Cuban music and can be called a living fossil of Cuban music. Their unique style won them the 1998 Grammy Best Latin Music Award. The music introduced today also comes from this album of the same name.
4, Joe Satriani: Andalusia
This is a song that I particularly like. Before we started drinking, the soft-spoken flamenco prelude told us a long past. In an instant, the past of our family and country came to our hearts, which was inexplicably sour.
The more sour time started two minutes and ten seconds later, when I seemed to hear the violent Roman army crossing the Pyrenees Mountains and marching on the coast of Panda Lucia. For a moment, I had the thought of blowing the bottle. I tried my best to suppress the thought of wasting everything, and accepted the rock libido like a wave. Life has its ups and downs, both mania and gentleness should be part of the melody of life. Just like this wine, anyone with low or high alcohol content will be welcome.
Guitar master Joe Satriani has been nominated for 13 Grammy Awards "Best Rock Performance Artist" and is the master of the famous electric guitar master Steve Vai. He has superb electric guitar playing and uncanny rock metal style, and his smooth and flowing performance deeply touches people's hearts. The guitar is his mouth, like a god with a poisonous tongue. He can inject soul into every instrument. There is no doubt that he is a master of dream creation.
5, Tinsley Ellis: Kiss Of Death
Melancholy is the keynote of blues music, and melancholy is also the background of alcoholics. Paradoxically, happiness is also the cornerstone of both. We were feeling pain and happiness while drinking wine, laughing and cursing heartlessly while remembering our lives. British writer Geoff Dyer wrote this in the book "The Beauty of Jazz ": How to put it, it's like... It's like a guy is alone, locked up somewhere, because he is involved in There was some trouble and it wasn't his fault. ... He hoped that someone was waiting for him, and he thought about his wasted life and how he had messed everything up. He wishes he could change that, but knows it's impossible...that's Bruce.
Tinsley Ellis is an American blues rock musician. His music line is relatively tough and southern style. He grew up in Florida, practiced piano since he was a child, and was a loyal follower of Freddie King and B.B. King. He formed the Heartfixers band with Chicago Bob Nelson and others, and took over as lead singer after Nelson left the band.In 1988, Tinsley Ellis began his solo career and published several blues records.
6, Joe Bonamassa: Reconsider Baby
I particularly like the tearful playing of blues guitar SOLO. Under the dim light, the guitar is like an old dog that never abandons its companionship, whimpering and singing in harmony with its wandering owner, as if the words are unclear, but it also has insight into the world. The guitar is the last comfort, even if it doesn't say a word clearly, you understand everything it wants to say, and you also know that it understands everything about you, whether it is sweet or bitter. Whether he expresses his feelings directly or in a roundabout way, the clumsy guitar plays a very important role as an interlocutor. Its ingenuity lies in what Haruki Murakami once said: If you have to explain something to understand it, you will never understand it. By the way, tacit understanding is such an important word in the dictionary of drunkards. A smile from across the ocean can be said without saying anything.
Joe Bonamassa is an excellent blues guitarist and singer. He is famous for his cold and husky singing voice and his superb guitar playing skills. Unlike other veteran blues artists, he is a young man in his early 40s.
7, Alison Krauss & Brad Paisley: Whiskey Lullaby
The title of this song is like a drink, "Whiskey Lullaby", the song is beautiful and melodious, but it tells an extremely sad story. Please take a look at what the lyrics say? "She extinguished his love like extinguishing a burning cigarette butt at the end of midnight. She broke his heart and became a pain that he could not let go of his whole life. We watched him drink up his sorrow, one drop at a time, but he could not Let himself be intoxicated enough to forget her, until that night, he picked up the bottle, drank from it, and pulled the trigger on himself,... "Stop it, brother!" Just have a drink, why are you so big? Don't be impulsive, come and have a drink! So, alcohol, guns and women cannot appear at the same time, otherwise it will easily lead to tragedy. We should not imitate them.
American country bluegrass singer Alison Krauss has been named the most beautiful female voice in the world many times. She has won 11 Grammy Awards. Her representative songs include "When You Say Nothing At All" and the touching "Cold Mountain" in the movie The Scarlet Tide” and so on. After cooperating with the Union Station band, the power of bluegrass music pushed her one step further, becoming a legend of American country music. Brad Paisley is a young American country music singer, songwriter, and outstanding country music guitarist. His style spans traditional country music and Southern rock (also known as country rock), and he is the mainstay of the new generation of male country music singers.
8, The Big Band Boogie Woogie: Meade Lux Special
Jazz blues naturally has a swinging energy, like a perpetual motion machine. As soon as I regained my consciousness and heard this kind of music, I immediately forgot about the tragic story of that buddy just now. What could be more important than immersing yourself in the atmosphere of music? So I held the wine glass and listened to the cheerful playing and twisting and dancing. The liquid wine passed through the body for a long time and turned into gas along with the music. Music is a liquid monster. The sexy trumpet flashes all over my body. My soul is soaring and I feel like my body is turning into liquid. I can listen to this music all night long.
Boogie Woogie is a type of blues music based on the blues. Its origin is very complicated. It is rumored that it is a music form that originated in southern bars in the United States around 1900 and spread in the 1930s. Later, big bands before and after World War II liked to use this method of music performance, and it evolved into a popular style. It has a more typical fixed bass fingering, which is very suitable for less professional pianists to play.
9, Janis Joplin: Kozmic Blues
The world is originally a sad song. Each of us is singing, either excitedly or deeply; but Janis Joplin has been singing nonchalantly, singing her persistence and despair. Until the end, like an oriole that could no longer sing, she fell from the tree and died, leaving the world that had tortured her in her short life.
The touching blues music in the falsetto and translator is sometimes hoarse, sometimes whispering to itself, sometimes cold and hot like ice and fire. She sings her own joy and sorrow, sings her own plainness and anger, and uses all her strength to indulge and follow her will. Sparks bloomed invisibly, unbridled desires, and songs from the soul, like a bolt of lightning, illuminated the entire psychedelic 1960s.
is the "Queen of Rock and Roll" with a rebellious style, fancy clothes and a unique voice. Her name is Janis Joplin, a rare legend in this world and an important member of rock's "27-year-old club".
0, Pretty & Twisted: Souvenir
At the 2011 West Lake Music Festival, I met my old idol whom I have been madly in love with for 20 years, Johnnette Napolitano, the female lead singer of the Los Angeles underground band Concrete Blonde. When we were talking backstage, I said she reminded me of Janis. Joplin, she smiled knowingly. This is a smile with mixed emotions. Maybe she will never be the focus of criticism like Janis Joplin in her life, but in my mind, she is also a great goddess. She has soothed too many angry underground hearts with her beautiful singing. This song "Souvenir" is a souvenir of my youth. The percussion and bass structure combined with a little psychedelic guitar push her sad and desolate singing to the most beautiful peak. It is so painful to retain memories in despair. It is not an end, but a commemoration of past musical ideals.
Johnette Napolitano is the leader of the famous Los Angeles rock band Concrete Blonde. Their music is sexy and explosive, and the lead singer has a trademark aloof and tough voice, which is unique in the American alternative rock music trend in the early 1990s. Pretty & Twisted is a band she formed temporarily in 1995.
1, the Smashing Pumpkins: Violet Rays
People like to listen to some vinyl when they are showing off, especially when they take a few sips. This kind of scene is often seen in movies. The biggest difference between listening to vinyl and listening to digital music is that you need to use your hands and feet. Although it is troublesome, it is full of ritual. This is very similar to drinking. If you don’t move your hands or feet, the wine won’t go down!
Among rock records, I think the Smashing Pumpkins album is very worth listening to, and it is also very expensive. When I introduced their most famous double album "Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness" to a friend, she said it was so good that she could hold the record player and cry for three days. She really knows how to describe it.
The Smashing Pumpkins have a dark and gloomy beauty. The only band that can rival them in this aspect is probably The Cure in their early years. The long riffs and guitar noise, coupled with the sharp metal voice of the lead singer, make it sound so good that it has no temper. Traditional metal routines and gothic art are played with purity in his hands. Even in the heyday of the Seattle sound represented by Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins did not show weakness.
The most powerful thing about their music is that they can be both open and relaxed. Most of their songs are grumpy, but there are also very emotional ditties. No matter from any aspect, this song Violet Rays is a tearjerker. The warm tonality and rich emotional color give Billy Corgan's evil and childlike temperament a soft and sad coat. This song combined with his pale and weird appearance makes him look like a thousand-year-old immortal vampire prince.
"The six-string bass is earth-shattering, making you cry as soon as you hear it." This is how music fans describe the Smashing Pumpkins. The Smashing Pumpkins was formed in 1988 and was an important alternative rock band in the United States in the 1990s. They created a music style that integrated radical rock, gothic rock, and heavy metal, creating their own alternative rock band. world. The main personnel are Billy Corgan, the lead singer and guitarist, and James Iha, the lead guitarist.
2, Sia: Breathe Me
With beautiful melody, sexy voice, strange pronunciation and sincere feelings, the music of Australian singer Sia cannot be more aptly described. I am very surprised by the richness of her music material. Her lazy but textured female voice is very attractive. Whether it is fresh and gentle folk music, or exciting and unrestrained rock jazz, she can pick it up effortlessly.She has a strangely unique bitter voice that makes the music extraordinarily sensitive, full of saturation and appeal. No one else can learn this. Talent really determines everything. I heard that although she was born in a musical family, she only started playing music very late. She rarely even listened to other people's music before her debut. It should be said that she did it based on instinct and intuition. music.
Sia, full name Sia Kate Isobelle Furler, is a famous Australian pop singer. He has participated in the formation of bands such as Crisp, Zero 7, LSD, etc., and has won numerous awards since his debut.
3, Charlotte Gainsbourg: In The End
The long nights are long, and there is no intention of sleeping. The best music to accompany wine and dreams is none other than Charlotte Gainsbourg, especially on late autumn nights. Melancholy, psychedelic, elegant and romantic, magically blend together in her music, revealing a bone-piercing coldness, especially this song "In The End", which has the feeling of listening to Lei Guangxia's record, ghostly and peaceful. The song is selected from the "IRM" album and produced by the famous "mashup" music master Beck.
Charlotte Gainsbourg is a French movie star and a Cannes Best Actress winner. She was born into an artistic family, and her parents are also famous film and television singing stars. Influenced by her family, Charlotte embarked on the artistic path early and became a star in the film, television and singing circles.
4, Lei Guangxia: The Light of Darkness
Since we are talking about Lei Guangxia, we might as well listen to her album "Light of Darkness", which won the Taiwan Golden Melody Award and the Chinese Media Award. Some people say that she is a poet, a philosopher, a music master, and a "talented woman with invisible temperament." Anyway, no matter how beautiful it is, we should be more concerned about how malleable and creative these music scenes are that break the role of time and space. Perhaps it is her career as a broadcaster that gives her music its unpredictable and diverse attributes. We can regard them as life movies. These love and pain extracted from memory and life are so warm and touching, quiet, delicate but full of power. The record was written while she was recovering at home after a car accident.
Lei Guangxia, a well-known radio program producer and host in Taiwan. Known as Taiwan's "non-professional singer". Her singing voice is very unique and has an indescribable tranquility. I believe everyone who has stories from the 1980s will be touched.
5, J.B. Lenoir: When I’m Drinking
If J.B. Lenoir were still alive, he would be a 90-year-old man. However, he has been dead for many years, and his life is shorter than Yue Fei's. This just proves his consistent music. When he opened his voice, I thought it was a girl. This boy in amber is an eternal boy, just like the eternally youthful Zhang Yusheng.
Precisely because he has not been infected by the complex thoughts of materialism after the 1970s, his music has a rare purity. Moreover, the inheritance of traditional blues is also 100% pure, without any fancy impurities. Looking at this face that looks like a young version of Martin Luther King, I wonder, what would youth be like in an era without us? Innocence is a must. Look, even if this guy drinks, the drinking songs he sings are so innocent, as if he was drunk for the first time when he was 14 years old. It's both ridiculous and cute.
J.B. Lenoir, a famous blues musician of the same generation as B.B. King, was born in the blues town of Mississippi. Died in a car accident in 1967. He died young, and his name later appeared in the music and film works of many later artists.
6, Mighty Mo Rodgers: Black Paris Blues
In the music industry, I think there should be someone who can sing better than this old man, but it may be difficult to find someone who is more stylish than him. This is not to say that his music is not important enough, but to say that he can obviously rely on his appearance to make a living, but he uses his talent and steals the jobs of many people. His voice is strong and old-school, but the music does not completely follow the tradition of blues. Instead, he plays a lot of tricks and borrows the tunes of many folk troubadours. Reggae and blues are like cocktails, and the city knows how to play!
Mighty Mo Rodgers, whose real name is Maurice Rodgers, is an American blues musician. He was born in Indiana and was deeply influenced by blues music since he was a child.As an adult he moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in music. Has released many records.
7, Dutch: Warm Like The Wind
I heard this unknown group by chance and was immediately impressed. There is very little information about them on the Internet. The female lead singer's voice is ethereal and beautiful, with a mysterious and cold alternative sexiness, as if dancing high in the sky, dangerous and charming. It's obvious that they have a strong flavor of Trip Hop, but American Trip Hop is very different from British Trip Hop. It sounds a bit like Latin music. Most of their music is very weird and pleasant, reminding me of Sia when they first debuted, but their fate was far worse than Sia's. After releasing an album nine years ago, there has been no news since. It’s hard to find a true friend, the more you are among the crowd, the lonelier you feel!
Dutch band was founded in Philadelphia, USA in 2009. The band members are lead singer Liz Fullerton and producer Kevin Baldwin (stage name Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind).
8, 2Raumwohnung: 2 Von Millionen Von Sternen
This unintelligible song is sung in German and means "two little stars among thousands of stars". As I typed these words, I couldn't help but feel a chill all over my body. When I heard this soft and ethereal music in the "Music Paradise" magazine, I thought it was sung by a sentimental witch somewhere in some fairyland. Later, when I found a translator to see what it was singing, I knew that I didn't need human language. Music is so magical, and the notes will tell me the answer directly: "There are two little stars among millions of stars. They are far apart. From the earth, they are all on the same planet, but they can only move in their own orbits. While he was sinking down the escalator, I was rising. The moment he closed his eyes, I opened them. For a short moment, we were so close, but he didn't notice me. , I am the only one who saw him..." The fire of love that passed by burned the world in an instant, and the parallel universe was out of reach.
2raumwohnung, a German combination meaning "two big houses". Coming from East Berlin, Germany, the current members are female lead Inga Humpe and her husband Tommi Eckart, who are responsible for harpsichord and synthesizer, as well as drummer Jens Wageman and guitarist Pascal Stoffels. With their melancholy electronic melodies and magnetic voices, they set off a striking electronic music craze in Europe. Their album "36 Grad" topped the German music charts for 33 weeks, which is very impressive.
9, Joey Fehrenbach: Wolves
When people listen to music, most of them will only pay attention to its lyrics or melody. In fact, rhythm is the blood and breath of music. Without it, music will be lifeless. Rhythm is also the soul of life and the universe. One movement and one movement. You can see that whether it is the microscopic world or the macroscopic universe, rhythm is the protagonist. Therefore, music that does not make people's muscles or cells tremble cannot be said to be good music. In music where rhythm is the main theme, ambient music is an important branch.
today introduces to you the ambient music works of American electronic musician Joey Fehrenbach. Interestingly, he labels his music as follows on his official website: Sadness, Loneliness, Joy, Expectation, Falling in Love, ...It turns out that there are so many ways to play ambient music.
When it comes to ambient music, everyone usually thinks of Brian Eno or Robert Miles, the European masters in this field, but Joey Fehrenbach from the United States is no less impressive! Worthy of the word "talented".
Joey Fehrenbach is a DJ and electronic musician from Arizona, USA. He is good at dance music and Trance style. His works "Time" and "Mellowdrama" are well received by all walks of life.
0, Chris Rea: Looking for the Summer
As early as the 1990s, I was knocked out by a song full of male hormones. That song is called "Looking For The Summer." Maybe you've heard of it before, it's great for drinking wine.
It seems that every singer in the 1990s has a unique voice, and there are quite a few who have a husky voice, such as Bryan Adams, Seal, Richard Marx, Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave, etc. But compared to Chris Rea, I am afraid they have to lower their heads by half. .
Chris Rea is a Buddhist, which is relatively rare among Western musicians. No wonder his light-weight music often gives people a Buddhist feel. Thanks to his hoarse voice, his music is filled with the charm of a troubadour, with boundless romance in its depth, and sadness and joy that make the music extremely vast. Listening to this kind of music, even though it's late at night, I feel like I'm lying under a summer beach, small and sad.
Chris Rea is a famous British blues singer. He has loved blues music since he was a child. He was deeply influenced by blues masters such as Joe Walsh. He debuted as a rock band. His later albums "King Of The Beach" and "The Road To Hell" are all British music. An all-time hit.
1, Gotan Project: Epoca
I am very lucky to hear such a kind of music one day: endless confusion and fascination, boundless dazzling colors, full of rich exotic sentiments. Gotan Project's works have a fatal appeal: they make people dance, laugh, wake up, and cry. The moment the romantic guitar sound rises, I rush out of the bar and go straight to the deep alley. The woman walking alone is gorgeous and graceful, looking at the smoke and walking in a charming way, and her tango dance steps are both lonely and arrogant. This French electronic band called "The Gotham Project" hit my heart at once, and I thought, there is no more exciting drunk music than this.
Gotan Project was founded in Paris. The main creator Philippe Cohen Sola is a film music master who once scored the film "Dancer in the Dark". The other two members are masters in the tango world, integrating electronic music and traditional tango music. Very insightful. He has released the classic album "La Revancha Del Tango" which is a best-seller all over the world. Their musical elements are very rich, including not only tango, but also multiple exotic cultural elements such as jazz, hip-hop, rap, country, alternative rock, etc., combined with Techno, House, Ambient, DUB and other beats, they are unique and amazing.
2, Chet Baker: My Funny Valentine
Time is a cruel and mysterious thing. If you don’t know how James Dean and John F. Kennedy look as they age, you can search for photos of Chet Baker in his later years. Later, Chet Baker's face was full of wrinkles, still melancholy, and still handsome, but he did not give the opportunity to let time carve too many uneasy marks on his face. At the age of 59, he died in an accident, bidding farewell to this relationship. A world that has nothing to do with him.
Among all works of art, diaosi's love is both short-lived and permanent. But the love in Chet Baker's music is as poignant as the golden years. Like the fallen leaves in the autumn wind, it will wither and cannot be saved or recovered. He sang softly, delicately, and with a hint of gloom and laziness, as if everything had nothing to do with him. I dimmed the lights and was alone with the sound, lost together. This music is probably also a kind of drug. Once you are contaminated with it, it will be difficult to get rid of it for life.
Chet Baker, American jazz trumpeter, cornet player and singer, a great precocious genius in the history of jazz. His handsomeness and drug addiction were as famous as his music. He was once hailed as the "Great White Hope", but his drug addiction ruined everything. In 1988, he fell to his death in the Netherlands at the age of 59.
3, Qi Qin & Chen Qiuxia: By chance
Because many people’s youth is branded with a Qiqin road sign, with the sound of his voice, people seem to have taken a time machine and gone straight to the past, and the past flashes into their hearts in an instant. Youth and history are so contradictory but unified in opposites. The old wolf running in the wilderness has entered its twilight years, and its slightly old voice declares the cruelty of time. Although it is no longer as sharp as when it was young, its soft talk declares the incomparable power of human emotions.
Let’s listen to “Accidental”, his collaboration with Chen Qiuxia. The erhu and a large number of string music make these concentrated youths become classically beautiful, as if the youth that has no longer grown up are resonating with the constant flow of time.His silky and clear voice, set against the backdrop of the symphony, was like mercury pouring down the ground, slowly invading the eardrums, leaving one unaware of the taste of meat for three days.
's gentle confessions are not strong, but they are enough to touch many people, because they have feelings, stories and characters. Don't expect him to bring out a new jar of wine. It's enough to hear the familiar voice. Although it is a jar of aged wine, there are countless condensed youths hidden deep inside, allowing us to share our heartfelt memories with the past.
Qi Qin, a superstar in the Chinese music scene, the younger brother of singer Qi Yu, a famous music creator and actor in Taiwan.
4, Zhang Xuan: Stay-Oyster Song
Among storytellers, Zhang Xuan is the most powerful person. Almost everything she sings tells a story, told with melody, told with guitar, told with keyboard, and told with drum beats. I like works like "Stay-Oyster Song", which has a salty and dense atmosphere. Life is complicated and there are many helplessness, but the graffiti on the alley bridge piers still highlights the enthusiasm of this city. In the story of the song, dreams overflow over the city, beyond rental houses, across the horizon, and across the sea level, from majestic to light. Zhang Xuan's grasp of the emotions of the song, her sweet voice not only has clear emotions, but also has rough rock lines. Her breakthrough in music style has also earned her a good reputation.
Zhang Xuan, whose real name is Jiao Anpu, is a Taiwanese female singer-songwriter. Daughter of former SEF Secretary-General Jiao Renhe. Winner of the Best Lyricist Award at the 24th Taiwan Golden Melody Awards.
5, Linda Ronstadt: Adonde Voy
In the modern pop music world, female singers have their own unique gender charm. They cleverly combine their natural gentleness, softness and sensitivity with the sharpness, excitement and spontaneity of rock music. Their works shine and they play an important role in the history of rock and roll. This is not just the case in English-speaking countries, non-English works are equally fascinating. Next I would like to recommend to you a Spanish song performed by rock star Linda Ronstadt. The name is "Adonde Voy", which means "Where to Go". This song has been covered by many people, including Qi Yu.
Since the death of Janis Joplin, there has been a lack of well-known female musicians in the pop music world. Except for Carol King, Carly Simon, Joni Mitchell and Jefferson Airplane lead singer Grace Slick, there are only a few capable players. There are no more. Exciting name. The emergence of Linda Ronstadt added new glory to female rock in the 1970s. Linda Ronstadt's music style is very wide, including country, jazz, folk, pop, rock, everything, but the music does not become a hodgepodge. Her singing voice is rich and moving, and various styles of music miraculously blend into a whole under the free flow of her wonderful vocal range. I believe everyone has heard the passionate love song "Don't Know Much" that she sang with the famous male singer Aaron Naville. This Spanish song full of South American flavor is also intoxicating. What is particularly impressive is her full and passionate voice. .
Linda Ronstadt, a famous American rock and roll singer, was a member of the Stone Poneys band ("Stone Pony") in the 1960s. She was a popular figure in the 1970s and a winner of several Grammy Awards.
6, Pan Dihua: J'Attendrai
There are many examples of old artists in the West staying popular in the music industry, but this is not very common in China. In China, the generation gap in pop music is even more prominent, almost every two or three years. It’s generational. "I grew up listening to so-and-so's songs since I was a child" has become an intergenerational code. The peers looked at each other and smiled when they heard this, while the younger generation scratched the back of their heads in confusion: Who is the so-and-so you just mentioned?
Pan Dihua is such a fan who grew up listening to her songs, and is now quite old. For example, Pan Dihua is the living fossil of the old Shanghai Jazz, the living Zhou Xuan. The classic Shanghai music heard in the movies "Days of Being Wild" and "Lust, Caution" is her handiwork, and it is also the Chinese version of "Songs Through Time".
is such an old classic, but she has caught up with the current popular independent music. She has collaborated with a group of new generation musicians on many trendy works, such as Lin Yifeng, Falsetto Man, at17, Pixel Toy, the Pancakes, My Little Airport, Ketchup, etc. In fact, we can all hear an indescribable niche flavor in "Days of Being Wild" and "Lust, Caution". From old-fashioned love songs to jazz, these old songs and new songs not only have the temperament of old Shanghai that we imagine: modern, gorgeous, elegant, enchanting... but also have a trendy and avant-garde new century feel. Let’s listen to a French song “J’Attendrai” sung by Pan Dihua himself and feel the old opera style.
Pan Dihua, formerly known as Pan Wanqing, is a famous Hong Kong actor in the 1960s. He has filmed movies such as "The Unparalleled" and "Days of Being Wild". She is also the first Hong Kong singer signed to British EMI Records.
7, Zhang Zhi: Wanderer
In 2011, a friend who makes music gave me a record called "Nilek Town", and the singer was "Zhang Zhi and the Travelers Band". A friend said it was the first album of a Xinjiang wandering artist. I didn't know this artist at the time, but I was fascinated as soon as I opened it. The deep-rooted sadness was extremely dizzy in the vast musical landscape, and it was very graphic (Zhang Zhi himself studied painting).
Perhaps Zhang Zhi’s singing voice cannot be said to be beautiful. He does not shout cheerfully or roar enthusiastically, but that trance state accurately describes the artistic conception of his music: the exotic starry sky and sunset are extremely blurred and melancholy. . The theme of wandering and migration is reflected in the music, like a touching scenery blockbuster. The Western acoustic guitar folk melody and the flavor of Xinjiang minority folk songs are seamlessly combined to vividly depict a wandering destiny.
This is not a typical Xinjiang folk album, but more like a psychedelic music record in traditional Western rock. The album's title song "Wanderer" talks about lost feelings and unfamiliar scenery. If you add wine, it will turn into sighs and tears. It is also the theme song of the movie "There Are Traces to Follow".
Zhang Zhi, lead singer, composer, arranger, plucked musician, and producer of Travelers. Born in the Yiqike Oil Mine in Xinjiang. He grafted the ethnic elements of the Western Regions with modern folk music, inherited and absorbed folk music styles from Xinjiang, Kazakhstan and other regions, and at the same time integrated it with modern folk music based on guitar, developing a style that is both rooted and contemporary. Musical form. Because he is good at recording and interpreting the customs of various places through music, and adding the feeling of returning to nature, he is called a "map folk song" by the media.
8, Wan Xiaoli: Dharma Wanderer
Among domestic folk musicians, Wan Xiaoli is a quite eye-catching one. He has a very sexy deep voice, and his music is very beautiful, sometimes cold, sometimes gentle like a compassionate swordsman. Those beautiful melodies are full of touching loneliness, and most of them are suitable for listening to alone with a warm drink on a cold night when you don’t want to talk to anyone, including the one recommended today.
Strictly speaking, Wan Xiaoli is a singing poet, and his poetic music seems to just express his mood that he doesn't want to be known. But the elite culture is more willing to collect this kind of isolation. Isolated people use isolation to collect applause. It sounds ironic, but it is an indisputable fact. This silence, isolation, simplicity, and sadness remind me of Zhou Yunpeng "The Silent Breath". Does he intend to tell us the truth about wandering with this minimalist acoustic guitar?
Wan Xiaoli is a folk singer with rich humanistic color and one of the representatives of modern Chinese folk songs. With his unique singing voice, he was praised by the audience as a singer who subverted folk songs.
9, Joni Mitchell: Night Ride Home
Winner of Billboard magazine's "Entertainer of the Century Award" and Grammy's "Lifetime Achievement Award", Canadian veteran folk singer Joni Mitchell has an outstanding position in the history of Western pop music.There is always a hidden edge in her music that is rich in meaning. She cleverly combines the folk roots of the 1960s with the exploration of Jazz and Blues in the 1970s and 1980s. She has become a symbol of the times, enough to make everyone The mountains stand tall.
But the greatness of Joni Mitchell does not lie in becoming an icon for the world. She is a painter and a poet; she is a social observer and a singer. Her music is deeply artistic and slightly melancholy. The beautiful melody slowly flows into the heart, clear as the clouds. Her voice is like a clear spring or a light cloud. She has created a new landscape for female singer-songwriters. In addition to early folk rock, she has also continued to make various attempts to combine complex and diverse music styles such as jazz, country, avant-garde, and world music to create a new look in her works. In the history of rock music, Joni Mitchell is definitely an indispensable name.
Joni Mitchell, legendary Canadian musician, painter, poet, visual artist and social observer. The Grammys described her as "the most important female musician of the rock and roll era" and an outstanding artist who "has had a powerful influence on all artists and is full of diversity, creativity and integrity."
