On April 7, the Taiwanese group " Power Train " announced that it will release a new album "All Because of Love", which is another album they have been doing after 5 years. Among them, the title song "I'm Very Liar" will be released on the 9th.
It is reported that the song will be guest-starred by the same company's Zhou Hui , but she does not necessarily show her entire face. It is very likely that only a pair of slender fingers wander on the face of the power train, which means that the song is both hard and soft.
Perhaps, when we mention the power train again, many old songs will ring in our ears. After all, the theme song "Dang" of "My Fair Princess" back then made this group "Found the Gods", which can be regarded as the youthful memory of a generation.
"The World" is at its peak, "The Past" is hard
"When" is how popular the song "When", you can watch the Power Train when participating in " I Am a Singer " in 2014, thousands of people were excited to judge.
This song has been broadcasted with the TV series "Return of the Condor Heroes" in 1998, and has been 16 years since the scene of "Singer" that year!
When the familiar prelude sounded, the lyrics of "The World is Companion" flashed in everyone's heart like a mark. The audience stood up and their emotions instantly rose. Many people sang the whole process with tears in their eyes. It was only at that moment that the music showed its unique charm.
This song is the pinnacle of the power train. The two are still grateful to Qiong Yao for her "sensing gold with a wise eye".
It was Qiong Yao who had just started his career and pushed the two people to a high point that everyone was catching up. This is a glory that the two people never dared to imagine.
The "past life" of the power train is still very hard. The power train is composed of Yan Zhilin and You Qiuxing .
Both are indigenous Taiwanese. They already knew each other when they were 5 years old. They "lived" together for more than 40 years and almost regarded each other as another self. If they had no other person, they would not get used to it.
Yan Zhilin still remembers the way they first met. At that time, Yan Zhilin followed her aunt to You Qiuxing's village and saw him on the playground of You Qiuxing's school.
At that time, Yan Zhilin was running a nose, and You Qiuxing looked at the strange little boy opposite him with a blank look. It was the first time the two met and the beginning of more than 40 years of friendship.
You Qiuxing joked that the way the two of them got along for decades was "respectful to each other", which seemed to be related to their personalities. Although they were rock music, they were humble when they got along with each other.
From middle school to high school, they were in the same school. When the two men rarely had disagreements, their relationship gradually changed from strangers to "blood thicker than water".
Both of them did not get into college after graduating from high school, and they also completed military service one after another.
In order to make a living, the two worked as construction workers, gave milk and gas tanks, and Yan Zhilin even worked as a cleaner for others. When the conditions were poor, they would eat the same bowl of instant noodles together. The hardship of working at the bottom of the
seems to have nothing to do with their later identity as a rock star.
But the hard life has not erased the love of music between the two.
In that era, Qi Qin was very popular. Both of them like Qi Qin very much and like the song "The World Outside". They even started to learn to play guitar for this song.
Their love for music and the natural good voice of Taiwanese aboriginals made the two decide to make a breakthrough in the music path.
After a series of twists and turns, the "power station" (power train) was finally born in 1994.
From "red" to "not red", the combination of "water" and "mud" has never changed
996, the fate of the two took a turn.This year, musician Xu Changde heard a resident singer PK competition created by the bar for gimmicks. On the court, Yan Zhilin and You Qiuxing covered "The Desert". Their magnetic and passionate voices deeply infected Xu Changde.
Soon Xu Changde joined Hua Records, signed 28-year-old Yan Zhilin and 27-year-old You Qiuxing, and published his first album "Loveless Love Letter" in 1997. The album
has sold a lot, and the name of the power train has also come into the public's sight. The two of them finally became late.
The popularity of "The Loveless Love Letter" also opened another door for the two of them. At that time, Qiong Yao was looking for a newcomer to sing the theme song for "Return of the Condor Heroes". The power train also conquered Qiong Yao because of her high and loud voice and successfully won "Dang". After becoming popular with
, the two of them reached the top of no one with albums such as "Betrayal Love Song" and " Zhongxiao East Road Nine Times ", swept across major music awards in Taiwan.
and were nominated for the Golden Melody Awards for Best Singing Group and Best Newcomer Award seven times.
There are even legends about two people in the industry. As long as a new album is released, you will definitely win the Best Combination Award!
The popularity of the two in Taiwan is like the Yuquan group in the mainland, which is well-known and has a very high singing song.
Perhaps for a combination, becoming popular means that there are more mutagenesis from all parties. Often, some relationships will change at this time, but the power train does not. When
became famous, the two had never had any differences in cooperation. The songs were always clear in division of labor and mutual fulfillment.
Regarding the "indestructible" friendship between the two, You Qiuxing used a metaphor: Zhilin is water, I am mud. The meaning is that after the two are mixed together, no one can easily separate them.
Finally, You Qiuxing also said, "Neither family is that close to me!"
Although these two metaphors are not beautiful, they are two men's affectionate confessions to pure friendship.
In 2005, the two of them launched "Is the Red Glory Record" again and won the Best Recital Group Award at the 16th Taiwan Golden Melody Awards.
But the music industry is changing too quickly. After this album, the two's careers fell into a trough.
The rock sentiment of two stubborn tough guys
In 2014, when the spotlight on the stage of "I am a Singer" and everyone's eyes were focused on the power train again, You Qiuxing secretly cried the fist and Yan Zhilin cleared his throat several times, and the tension between the two of them reappeared on the big stage was beyond words.
After ten years, the two of them almost disappeared from the public eye and were able to regain the stage. Whether for them or for the audience, what they sang was not only love songs, but also feelings.
In the past decade, many combinations in the Taiwanese music scene have changed. SHE went solo, "Feier Band" changed its lead singer. The group that once reached the pinnacle has no possibility of reunion, but only these tough guy brothers still stick to each other and perform their tough guy rock.
Wu Qixian once joked on the show: I have never seen a power train "moving" on the stage.
Yes, every time the two performed on the stage, they were nailed to the stage like two nails. Even in the concert, Yan Zhilin almost never spoke, and it was all spoken by You Qiuxing.
Such a dull two people are no longer used to the current traffic and the surging of online singers, and gradually faded away their original light.
Frankly speaking, the two also felt this gap.
When performing on the same stage with others, the singer still had applause after singing the stage and was full of passion, but after they came on stage, the stage suddenly became quiet, and the song was scattered, and there was no unprecedented grand occasion of the chorus of tens of thousands of people that year.
But the two were still stubbornly "stay together".In 2019, Power Train started a new round of tour concerts, and what remains unchanged is the tacit and quiet style of the two. Yan Zhilin spoke almost the whole process, and You Qiuxing just simply repeated thanks. The two of them who were so dull and dull on
naturally didn't have any tricks to attract traffic, but they gave back to their fans who had been following them for many years by singing silently for two and a half hours.
ending
In "Masked Singer", Yan Zhilin appeared alone for the first time. He left You Qiuxing and was very uncomfortable. Wu Qixian instigated him to ask him, "Is it okay to take money alone?"
Yan Zhilin did not refute Wu Qixian's face and replied that it was "good", but in fact, neither Yan Zhilin nor You Qiuxing were used to leaving each other.
The two had "confessed" earlier in an interview. They would forget the words when they left each other. They would definitely not be able to do without each other. Although they had sang the representative composition countless times, they did not have the lyrics to each other. They didn't know how to finish singing alone on stage.
These words seem ordinary, but they are witnesses of the deep brotherly love between the two.
In 2019, 50-year-old You Qiuxing got engaged to his girlfriend. Yan Zhilin's speech at the ceremony seemed to be "jealous":
"He has a girlfriend, so he won't bother me. We have known each other for almost 50 years. We have grown up together, worked together, and played basketball together. He sticks to me no matter what he does. In fact, this is very tired."
Although Yan Zhilin said "tease", his actions were very honest.
As he spoke, he sang a song " Rainbow ". Halfway through singing, he got used to the song You Qiuxing to sing together. The picture was warm but also made people feel inexplicably funny. The bride-to-be is like a "third party" who destroys brotherhood.
Nowadays, the two brothers have their own families and have their own other half of their lives. The two will definitely move forward together in the future journey, but there are more partners on the road to each other.
Most of the journey are accompanied by good brothers. This kind of good brother who is not as kinship as family affection, and is even more precious in the complex entertainment industry. I wish both of you that the music will always last forever.
