Listen to Wan Fang's first song on the album "Left Hand" was "Exile", which was in the summer of 1997. At that time, this song was on the [V] stage and climbed slowly, so it could be heard on the Top 20 rankings every week during that period. However, the top 20 people who followed [V] at that time were because of Su Huilun . So Su Huilun released the album "Follower" in August 1997, while Wan Fang released the album "Left Hand" in July of the same year.
has no intention of comparing, and it is incomparable. That is compared with Su Huilun at that time. In fact, Wan Fang was already popular that year, because "New Can't Love" was in front, and the albums "Cutting Love" and "I Worth Love" released by her subsequent albums have a very stable market effect. Therefore, no matter what happens before and after the release of "Left Hand", there will be no major surprises. In fact, "Exile" has a very slow climbing ability on the rankings, but it can still advance to the top five step by step, which shows Wan Fang's popularity. Looking back, it is precisely because "Exile" is slow enough that this song stayed in the Top 20 for a long time, and I remembered this song. On the contrary, Su Huilun, who was concerned about at that time, recalled today, he had forgotten which work was on the charts with "Exile" at the same time.
How to describe my feelings for Wan Fang at that time? She can't say she likes it or is not so popular, but she still listens to her songs. It is inevitable to say that if she didn't have "New Can't Love", she might not have followed Wan Fang. After "New Can't Love", all the albums released by Wan Fang have listened to, but she was not as careful as she listened to today. What I want to say is that Wan Fang's music can withstand the precipitation of time, just like brewing wine, it will become more and more fragrant. I will listen to Wan Fang's albums in those years later, including this "Left Hand", and listening is the best adjective.
Wan Fang's position in those years should be a love singer, but her route as a love singer is a bit special, especially today, her positioning of a love singer at that time is actually very literary tone. However, her literature and art are not the pretentious and deliberate kind of today, but as her own temperament and personality are revealed lightly, everything goes naturally. Therefore, sometimes it is said that Wan Fang is the originator of the Chinese pop music scene, because there was no such music concept as literature and art back then, and because many of Wan Fang's songs were sad, people are more willing to label her as a resentful woman if they were accidentally. Many of Wan Fang's love songs are indeed sad, but they are far from being resentful. Compared with the same company's Xin Xiaoqi , the popular Xu Ruyun , and singers like Janna who are extremely sad, the tragedy in Wan Fang's love songs has faded too much. Wan Fang's voice and singing style are not sad, there is no such pain of death, nor the emotion of hatred. Some are emotional, indifferent, and relieved. This is the case with "Exile" in the album "Left Hand", which does not exaggerate the sadness at all. Of course, this is also related to Wan Fang's adjustment to the tone of love songs at that time. In fact, when Wan Fang was "the most bitter" time, she was in the stages of "Chasing Love", "Disconnecting the Line", and "It's Worth Love". On the contrary, from "Left Hand" to later, she will find that Wan Fang is becoming more and more warm, more literary, and more unique.
Back to say that the "Night Watcher", "Lonely", "Broken Up", and "Sad and Pity God's Daughter" in the album "Left Hand" are not imaginations. "Night Watcher" and "The Daughter of God" are not popular love songs in the traditional sense. The melody is not popular, and the personality is very unique. Without patience, you can't hear the taste. However, "Night Watcher" and "The Daughter of God" are indispensable in the albums "Left Hand"."Night Watcher" is indeed very difficult to please your ears. The melody handed over by Guo Zi is very unusual. Maybe this is what we later called literary and artistic tunes. The text of Xu Changde is too intriguing, a bit sad and beautiful, and is very vivid and moving. The sentence "I saw you staring at me/but I know you only see darkness/You and I exchange your eyes/No chance may be the most beautiful entanglement." It makes people's hearts break. It is a beautiful heartbreak. Even the despair of love is so sad. How can I resist it? What is important is that being infected by the song is not because of how bitter or sad it is, but because of the charm. "Sadness of Pity for God's Daughter" is created by Huang Guolun . It writes songs and poems. The arrangement of Zhong Xingmin is like a nostalgic movie, and the actual content expression has broken away from the category of love songs. Where does the sorrow and pain come from?
Compared with these two works, "Lonely" and "Breakup" are typical popular love songs, but they are both good works. In terms of actual influence, the popularity, or audience level of "Lonely" and "Breakup" are much higher than that of "Exile". Wan Fang included "Lonely" in the selected album "One" released in 2005, but did not include "Exile". Speaking of which, "Exile" is still too ordinary, too ordinary. It is indeed not as interesting as "Lonely" created by , Hongliang and , Lee Zongsheng . Not to mention anything else, Lee Zongsheng's poems have brought great highlights to "Lonely". The description of emotions is straightforward but not whining. It depicts the entangled mood of a woman trapped in love with extreme and delicate description. The sentence "soft promises/multiple promises" has been expressed in thousands of words. As for "Breakup" written by Zheng Huajuan, it is the most touching and touching love song in the album. Regarding the mood of a woman when she breaks up, it is not about having to die but "making people cry indiscriminately and complex thoughts like storms and rainstorms on the streets." This is resonance, and the overall tone of the song is actually positive. The last sentence "I want to leave quietly/look for true love again" is decided, so the whole song is not as sad as imagined, and it is a bit of a woman's introspection of emotions and self-comfort.
Zheng Huajuan wrote two works for Wan Fang in the album "Left Hand". In addition to "Breakup", there is also this song "Childish" that many people love and sing. "Childish" is a very special attempt to Wan Fang. On the one hand, it is not the slow love song that everyone likes Wan Fang. The brisk rhythm and the childlike lyrics show Wan Fang's childish side. Wan Fang also sang it casually, naturally, using a childish tone. On the other hand, "Childish" was used as the main feature, which is rare in Wan Fang's albums before and after. The important thing is that "Childish" succeeded and became the most well-known work in the album "Left Hand", completely overwhelmingly "Exile". It is worth mentioning that "Childish" also recorded a "Adult" version. This version was deleted when it was introduced in mainland China, so many people don't know that this version exists. The adult version of "Childish" is very different and mature. Wan Fang interprets it in another tone, a little helpless and a little complaining, and the tone has completely changed. But think that the song "Childish" includes two different versions, which can be regarded as a combination of the theme of "One and Another Self" rendered in "Left Hand". Of course, this theme is not in-depth and comprehensive in the album "Left Hand". In addition to the adult chapter of "Childish" that matches this theme, "Another Self" and "Learn to You" are also appropriate to this theme. The arrangement of "Another Self" is very layered. Wan Fang's voice is emotional, and there is a bit rational in the sensibility. When it is intertwined, it becomes a dialogue between herself and herself. "Learn to You" was experimental at that time, not that it was not suitable for Wan Fang, but that Huang Yunling was thought of every time he heard it. It was not that the label of the creator and producer was too strong, and it was not necessarily a good thing. As a adjustment effect, it enriched the listening feeling. In comparison, what I like more is that Wan Fang returns to the Rolling Stone many years later, and Huang Yunling once again created " Don't Sad " for her. Perhaps Wan Fang, who likes to sing slow songs the most.
Wan Fang has never been a real hit, and some people even labeled her as the name "A song is not a hit, but so what? She was a very special existence in the entire Chinese pop music during the heyday of Rolling Stone Records and even today. I like her voice that is relieved and indifferent. I like her natural intellectuality and sensibility, just like a cup of warm water, which is always so suitable and comfortable. However, I didn’t notice these things back then. It was not until I came back to listen to Wan Fang that I realized that I like Wan Fang’s music from the bottom of my heart. In 1997, Wan Fang released the album "Left Hand", and that year he was crazy about Su Huilun's "Follower". Today, twenty years later, he no longer listened to Su Huilun's "Follower", but he still often played Wan Fang's "Left Hand". Only then did he realize that some singers and some music would really follow each other for the rest of his life.
