What impressed you most about the night on the prairie? Tell me first, and then write it down briefly.

"Night on the Grassland" has been published since the 1960s, that is, by the majority of music lovers, especially by the majority of intellectuals heartfelt love. But the good times didn't last long, only after a short period of time, the unprecedented Cultural Revolution broke out. In those absurd years, all the excellent cultural heritage of mankind was swept away as garbage, banned from publication, and prohibited from being sung. At that time, our cultural performances consisted of three elements: first, singing the praises of the Red Sun; second, the Revolutionary Rebellion Dance; and third, the Eight Model Operas. Other than that, all the better songs were either reactionary in content or bourgeois, yellow songs, or at the least, petty-bourgeois and unhealthy. It was not until the late 1970s that the ban on all kinds of pre-Cultural Revolution literary and artistic works was lifted one after another. Among them was also the song "Night on the Grassland". Since then, the song has been sung by numerous big-name singers, all of whom featured the American vocal method, with the same big-band accompaniment, and none of whom ever revolutionized the orchestration, much less dared to change the way certain lines were sung. In the previous versions, I have heard Meng Guibing's, Zhu Chongmao's, Zang Yuyan's, Li Shuangjiang's. At that time, listening to them sing also felt that they were not the same. At that time, listen to them sing also feel quite good, then people, listen to a person sing well, mainly to listen to you sing like not like the first singers sing like, basically is the same, no personal characteristics. But from Teng Geer onwards, the way he sang carried a clear Teng's style and passion. After this, there was the Tian Zhen version of "Night on the Grassland", she went one step further, there were some changes to the individual scores, and some changes to the introductory song, which made for a fresh feeling, and it was also very nice to listen to.

This time, Knifelang's version of "Night on the Grassland" is very innovative. First of all, he used the modern guitar as the main instrument, and also with a light rock drum beat. This change gave the song a distinctly modern flavor. In the arrangement also rewrote the prelude and interlude, in the singing style or his kind of seemingly random but actually grasp the proportion of the singing method, more in line with the song's nostalgia, lyricism, waiting, yearning for a mood, especially his changes to the ending tune is very successful, in a grassland at night, only his piano in the gentle wandering, coupled with such an ending: hey! ............ Really give a person a kind of aftertaste of the feeling, evocative. Knife Lang put a far from home people's homesickness is really lyrical to the fullest.

However, I do not know if you have noticed, in fact, Knifelang's "Grassland Night" also has two versions, one is collected in the "Desert Love Song", the song's prelude song and accompaniment is another flavor altogether, and the ending is still in the past: "Come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, ......" . Such an ending. And "Night on the Prairie", which is collected in "Under a Northern Sky" and "The First Snow of 2002" is the same, with another style of beginning and ending. I suspect the vast majority of people hear the latter version. I have collected various versions of "A Night on the Prairie" due to my predilection for it. There are light music pieces in it, solo flute pieces, Tengger's version, Tian Zhen's version, Zhu Chongmao's version, Li Hao's version, boys' quartet ...... And so on. Now there is a Knifelang version. And the Knife Lang version of "Grassland Night" can be said to be the favorite of all these versions.

The song "Night on the Grassland" has been with me for more than 40 years, and my love for it has not diminished at all. So I often think that music is both the flow of the years and the frozen moments. In my life, "Night on the Grassland" has accompanied me through many unforgettable years, and at the same time, it has also framed a scene of eternal moments for me.

This one is rather long, you can crop it appropriately.
