"The Sound of the Waves Still" was composed by Chen Xiaoqi, and included in the album "Please Keep My Emotions by Your Side" released by 1993 Mao Ning. 1Feb. 994, the song won the Top Ten Golden Melody Award in the first Oriental Billboard.
The creation of the sound of waves still comes from the Tang poem a night-mooring near maple bridge. When Chen Xiaoqi reread "a night-mooring near maple bridge", he felt that words like "Jiang Feng fishing and sleeping" made people daydream endlessly, so he wanted to write a song about it. The concept of "old boat ticket" in the lyrics is inspired by the poem "midnight passenger ship bell" in the night berth near Fengqiao. Chen Xiaoqi linked the ferry ticket with the passenger ship, recalling the scene when he was studying by boat at the North Gate, so he added the ferry ticket to the lyrics.
Chen Xiaoqi thinks that the sadness described in a night-mooring near maple bridge may be homesickness or other troubles, so he adds love to it. During his writing, Chen Xiaoqi wrote the lyrics of The Sound of the Waves, and then spent two or three months composing music.
Song appreciation
The sound of the waves can still be regarded as the implantation of a night-mooring near maple bridge, a Tang poem. This kind of implantation makes this song look elegant, simple and full of charm, just like the quatrains of the Tang Dynasty. In addition to implantation, this song also uses derivative techniques. ?
The scenery such as fishing fire, maple bridge, bell and passenger ship sung in the song has evolved into a beautiful scenery in the singer's mind, and the classical images intertwined with these objects have extended into a cultural atmosphere under modern consciousness. It is this kind of cultural feeling that combines loss and nostalgia that makes the audience hear a trace of loneliness and melancholy from the song.
