The saddest thing in life is when you meet a special person but understand that you can never be together. Sooner or later, you have to give up. Finally, you understand that the greatest sorrow of a person is not that you can’t get it, but that you can’t bear to give up. In the wind and rainy road of life, you will accompany me for a long time, and I will miss you for a lifetime.
2006 Taipei Dome, at the concert of Leehom World Tour Works, Zhang Aijia's sentence "Have you ever loved me" caused a stir. Leehom said in the spotlight and laughed at him afterwards, "Because you were already married when you recorded "The Price of Love", I was written by me. I thought about you, why did you marry someone else?" Although this is a passing joke, when I sang this song, which was dedicated to "The Price of Love", many years later, "Old Li" still choked up like "Xiao Li" back then.
song "The Price of Love" is written and composed by Lee Zongsheng, sung by Sylvia Chang for the first time, and the theme song of the 1993 movie "Brother's Lover". In 2009, Lee Zongsheng won the National Music Achievement Award at the China Original Music Pop Chart Awards for this song.
Lee Zongsheng choked up when he sang "The Price of Love"! Sylvia, who was originally sitting in the guest seat, walked to the stage and held his shoulders and sang the song with him. How many people saw this and shed tears silently. After so many years, how many people's love has grown up with this song "The Price of Love"?
"The Price of Love" was a song written by Lee Chong Seng for the "goddess" Zhang Aijia at that time. Zhang Aijia, a few years older, provided a lot of help to Leehom when he first debuted. Later, this younger brother became the godfather of Taiwanese music, and Zhang Aijia would still call him "Little Li" affectionately.
More than a year later, although Lee Chongsheng said that "The Price of Love" is not a love song, but a song for his sister. But more fans think this is the last love letter written for her by Lee Jong-sung, who has been in love with Sylvia for many years.
The song structure of "The Price of Love" is actually very simple, and the lyrics are easy to understand. The beautiful and lyrical melody is filled with a hint of sentimentality and nostalgia for the past, a face to face reality, and a hope for love for the future.
Gigi Leung and Chen Shuhua also sang this song. In terms of singing style, they and Sylvia have something in common, which is to sing in a relaxed, gentle, lyrical and with a hint of sadness, rather than a sad, crying, painful or hot style. Just like the soul chicken soup gives people's hearts comfort, nourishment, relaxation, and prospects.
Before this song appeared, I rarely heard a song repeating the simple but straightforward words such as "Let's go, let's go...". The whole song seems to be a telling story, which is also a very "Lee Zongsheng-style" creative technique. Every word and sentence are sung and spoken, and it goes to our hearts.
I hope that friends who understand this song will be able to grasp it if they are meeting a love, because when you lose it, you don’t know how long it will take to retrieve it.
If you have loved each other deeply, listen to "The Price of Love" again, the price we paid for love in those years, although the result is not beautiful, it must be the most precious wealth in life. In life, it is enough to truly love. Don’t be too demanding. Cherish the days in front of you and treat the people around you well. A life with shortcomings is also a different kind of beauty.
