Zhou Fengling and His Yabao Road

Zhou Fengling, one of the pioneers of mainland rock music, personally witnessed and participated in many important historical moments in the development of domestic rock music. 1989 began to learn guitar and joined the first band Face. 1993, he formed the band "Five Hearts" as a guitarist. 1994 was invited by musician Dou Wei to be his guitarist. In the same year, he performed on the same stage with the famous British band radio commander. At the end of the year, I attended the concert "94 Hong Kong Red Gymnasium Chinese Rock Music Power" with Dou Wei. 1997, composed by Zhou Fengling, written by Hong Kong lyricist Lin, and supervised by mainland gold medal producer Zhang Yadong. Anesthesia, written for the Philippines, has become a highly sung golden song because of its lazy beauty and unique temperament.

Later, a band named "Teacher Zhou" was formed, and a group of outstanding domestic musicians were recruited. They signed a contract with the domestic independent music company Modern Sky and released two solo albums, Dancer in Dream and Melody 967, which were good at melody and atmosphere.

If the first two albums are suitable for "Making Tea" and "Listening to the Rain at Home" in "Dreaming", this "Yabao Road" released at the end of 20 12 is like Mr. Zhou's masterpiece of escaping from dreams, once again examining the world around him from his unique perspective and cooking wine to discuss heroes in order to find a way to make peace with them. The reality is chaotic, and it is not easy to be mentally sound in this era of last law. Only boil a pot of old wine and sit down and talk to it. This wine has been refined over time and its purity is extremely high. A little taste can explain Zhou Fengling's depressed mood. Drunk in reality, awake in dreams, and talk about drunken songs when waking up. After flying over reality and dreams, the wall between them is no longer so obstructive. He is like a bipolar walker, with a smart mind and coming and going freely. Therefore, in this album, we can not only hear his reflection, reminiscence and ridicule of reality, but also regret the desolation of his inner world, loneliness without faith and dreamlike poems.

The title song "Yabao Road" of the album of the same name refers to the famous gathering place of individual industrial and commercial households in Beijing in the 1980s. For the young people at that time, Yabao Road was a place full of miracles, where fresh trends and golden dreams met. Young people are full of expectations and longings for the future. They enthusiastically participate in it, integrate into the macro torrent of the times, and rise and fall together with the times. For Zhou Fengling, the 1980s was a time when faith still existed. In the song "Charity Artist", Zhou Fengling mercilessly mocked the strange faces in today's society with the huge roaring guitar distortion and metaphorical lyrics. Charity has become a derogatory term. "The ecology has changed, and it is unclear whether it is a mule or a horse, but it turned out to be a charity artist." It reminds people that they have lost their faith, and the era of national entertainment has brought collective unconscious sorrow. Fred sang in China about an American friend who likes China. He explained the present situation of urban society from his life experience in China. Fred lives comfortably in Shenzhen, without the mental pressure of living in the United States, especially after the financial crisis. But at the same time, what he knows is only the superficial phenomenon of Shenzhen, an immigrant city. There is a dangerous undercurrent at the bottom of the calm lake. If you don't pay attention, you will get lost in modern life.

But Zhou Fengling, who has always been famous for her beautiful melody, did not give up her housekeeping skills while telling stories. In the low-key performance of the album, he can still hear their careful carving and polishing of the melody timbre. In the song "Floating Clouds", he used the oldest musical instrument in China, and the desolate and vast timbre was very penetrating. As a traditional Buddhist musical instrument, the sound of collision with western musical instruments is not abrupt. Instead, it interweaves a quiet and philosophical charm. Zhou Fengling is still tired of expressing herself openly and frankly. The song is like a man. He is more willing to get rid of the limitation of writing and rigid formalism, to absorb, to breathe freely, to yearn for a pure life, to improve his mood, rather than to outline a dazzling and magnificent scene.

The first two works are excellent in melody and artistic conception, and even the band is not heavy, but this one "Yabao Road" retains the subtle handling of emotions and brings more expressive and ideological works with a vigilant attitude. The sensitive grasp of timbre, the presentation of beat and the balance of the overall atmosphere are quite general. This album, which exudes nostalgia and philosophical thinking, depicts the fleeting street view map and life in the 1980 s, and will surely arouse people's yearning for the memory of innocence and good feelings. It can be said that this is a rare sincere work in the 20 12 Chinese music scene. Zhou Fengling wrote the most appropriate footnote for this album with her intoxicated, open and reflective music core.
