" Singer 2019" ended the 11th episode of the competition. As for the rankings, it is still incomprehensible. Gong Linna A Song Dynasty lyrics "Deep in the Courtyard" by Teacher Gong is memorable, but in the end he was eliminated. And this time, Yang Kun covered the Taiwanese band Eggplant Egg 's "The Prodigal Son Back" and won the championship. This is his fourth time. It is understood that this song is strongly recommended by Yang Kun’s apprentice Jin Zhiwen. However, after the main film of "Singer" was broadcast, it was found that Yang Kun's singing part had been cut.
Then, the original singer of "The Prodigal Son" Eggplant Egg Band posted on Weibo, revealing the reason why Yang Kun's version was cut.
Among them, Eggplant Egg wrote that she felt helpless and heartbroken about those who adapted and adapted without authorization, and even claimed to be a singer-songwriter. In this way, Eggplant Egg Band low-key rejected the adaptation of the song by the "Singer" program team. So what is the origin of this Eggplant Egg Band?
In fact, eggplant eggs were the most rising independent band in Taiwan last year. It was established in 2012 and then left the group for a while. It was not until 2017 that it released its first album " Cartoon Character ". Then it was only the first album. They won four nominations for the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards last year, and finally won two awards for Best Newcomer and Best Hokkien album. "The Prodigal Son" is a song on this album.
Then the song "The Prodigal Son" was sent to Douyin . Once a song enters a brainwashing and repetitive platform like Douyin, and is repeatedly covered by several people, it is difficult to not be popular. Like "The Sorrow of Leaving People", "The Most Beautiful Expectations", and "Learning to Meow" are all so popular. Similarly, "The Prodigal Son Returns" has also become a popular song on the Internet. In January this year, this song ranked first in the top three on NetEase Cloud Music for two consecutive months, with 110,000 comments, and its popularity remains high.
Who would have thought that today when dialect music is gradually declining, there is actually a niche band that has become popular all the time by singing Minnan songs. Their tours are full of events from Guangzhou to Beijing. The song "The Prodigal Son Returns" tells the story of a once confused prodigal son who reforms himself with the company and persuasion of his family and friends. The song is very popular with the dialect singing style with great regional characteristics and the lyrics of the straightforward "social" lyrics.
Four years ago, the four band members who had just graduated from college still didn’t see much hope for the future. Because of their interest, they wanted to form a band to play. In order to play the band, they had to work part-time everywhere and live a life of not having enough time. Even the communication between the group members was full of depression. At the lowest point, they encourage each other to relieve negative emotions. They are little people who are struggling in the market, so they can sing the touching "The Prodigal Son".
