500 miles

Salt of the Earth

If you miss my train,

You'll know I'm gone

You can hear the whistle.

A hundred miles

A hundred miles, a hundred miles

A hundred miles, a hundred miles

You can hear the whistle.

A hundred miles

Lord, I am one Lord and I am two.

Lord, I am three years old.

Lord, I am four years old.

Lord, I am 500 miles away.

Leave home

Leave home

Leave home

Leave home

Lord, I am 500 miles away.

Leave home

I have no shirt on me.

I don't have any money in my name.

Lord, I can't go home like this.

If you miss my train

You'll know I'm gone

You can hear the whistle.

A hundred miles

About folk songs

No matter Europe, America, Hong Kong and Taiwan, at the beginning of their original music, there was a "folk age" brewed with innocence. The era of American folk songs began in 1930s and 1940s and reached its peak in 1960s.

The first great folk singer was Woody Guthrie, who wandered the streets of the United States with a guitar in the 1930s. His songs sang all kinds of hardships he experienced personally during the Great Depression. In his hands, folk songs have formed several characteristics that have not been erased for more than half a century: acoustic guitar, narrative style, personal lyricism, and traditional folk songs brought to the United States by immigrants from Scotland and England-they have been handed down from generation to generation for at least several centuries on the other side of the ocean.

Guthrie wrote and adapted more than 1000 songs in his life. By the time the wind of American folk songs blew in the 1950s, it could no longer be called the folk song era, but called itself the folk song revival era.

Joan baez, the most famous ballad queen, has always adhered to the ballad line. Joan baez conquered most young people in 1960s without any commercial propaganda, and became the center of hippie culture and youth sit-in storm with the theme of love and peace in 1960s. The only means is her sincere humanitarian feelings. Even when singing the battle songs of a generation, joan baez never forgot his elegant beauty and simple and pure voice. Apart from a guitar, joan baez's songs are hardly accompanied.

Later, when bobby vinton, who is also famous for his pure timbre, became famous with Roses Are Red in 1963, a looming piano was added to the background. This style has become the freeze frame of his music career for more than 30 years, and the theme songs sung by many movies, including The Godfather, have continued his reputation. Bobby vinton likes some elegant little musical instruments. In his later singing background, you can always hear a few strings, a clarinet or a few faint trumpets. The richness of musical instruments will never change the absolute dominant position of human voice in songs. Today we are going to listen to Winton, and what excites us most is his early simple music. I even suspect that the graceful harmony in "Blue Velvet" can't be produced today, such as the natural prospect of the light cage tonic, and there will always be a craftsman spirit in the more refined harmony in later generations. Winton's most famous song "sealed with a kiss" is not his first song, but it is widely circulated because of him. It went straight to China in the 1990s: this summer semester is coming to an end, and friends will leave with the wind. When they left, they promised their good friends that they would put every day in an envelope, seal it with a kiss and send it to you. Let's meet again in September. When leaving, it is not sadness, but romance. "sealed with a kiss" sang a soul-stirring feeling of youth.

At this point, the vigilante group is in full swing. The most famous ones are TheWeavers, Four Brothers, KinstonTrio, Four Seasons and Lettermen. The weaver is one of the pioneers. They have directly inherited the spirit of guthrie and have a strong social consciousness. In addition to using guitars, the four brothers also added a four-string tenor guitar and a five-string turtledove piano, which greatly enhanced the sound sense of the ensemble and led bluegrass music (B 1uegrass) to make great strides forward. Listening to their music, it seems that you can smell the faint scent of grass. Shirley is very popular in the singing group of the four seasons. When Taiwanese folk songs rose in the 1980s, the "New Impression Group" composed of Weng, Chen Fuming and Cao remembered to sing this song. Their unique and beautiful falsetto chorus. Letterman created the most extensive harmony in the folk age. As for Kingston, they became the most popular folk group in the late 1950s with their album "At large", and topped the sales list for 15 weeks in a row. Folk songs broke into the pop music scene and became the boss, which triggered the revival of folk songs.

Rock music rose in the mid-1960s, and its increasingly complex form gradually replaced simple folk songs, and most folk singers evolved into folk rock. Bates, Winton and Peter, Paul and Mary, male and female ensemble, survived through cover, duet and reprint. The simple guitar became a colorful guitar, and the rest disappeared. 1975, The Four Seasons, which has been popular in disco for a long time, reappeared with beautiful falsetto and disco dance background, and won the championship again and again, but it has become a worthless masquerade pop music. In the next 30 years, I don't know how many folk singers have appeared, and they can only appear in the form of composite folk songs compatible with various musical styles. Folk songs, like the faint wine in youth, are really impulsive, but they have their own fragrance. Although simple, they cannot be copied. Every time we recall them, they will naturally touch us, naive and perfect.
