Digital Sheet Music for the Song "Little Apple":
"Little Apple" is a song performed by the Chopsticks Brothers, with lyrics and music written by Wang Taili, and is the promotional song for the movie Old Boy's Fierce Dragon.
In 2014, the song won the "International Best Pop Music of the Year" award at the National Music Awards ? and the Mnet Asian Music Award for "China's Favorite Song".
Background
Apple is a favorite fruit, and the Chopsticks Brothers thought it would be appropriate to use apples as a metaphor for cherished people and things, hence the name "Little Apple".
The song was originally written to match the scene in the movie "Old Boy's Fierce Dragon". The Chopsticks Brothers have always wanted to add diversity to their music, as they used to listen to disco songs like Horton and Mastodon when they were kids, so the use of retro rhythms paired with elements of the Divine Comedy was meant to pay homage to the popularity and nostalgia for their youth
Lyrics
Wang Taili: I Planted a Seed
Finally Grew Fruit
Today's A Great Day
Today's a great day
Xiao Yang: I'll pick the stars and give them to you
I'll pull down the moon and give it to you
Let the sun rise for you every day
Wang Taili: I'll become a candle and burn myself just to light you up
I'll give you everything I have, as long as you're happy
Xiao Yang: You make every tomorrow worthwhile
Though my life is short, I'll always love you
I'll never give up on you. The flowers are blooming on the hillside
Sow hope and you will reap
I never find you annoying
I like everything about you
Every day is fresh with you
WANG TAILI: The sun shines more brightly with you
The night isn't dark with you
You're the white cloud and I'm the blue sky
XIAO YANG: In the springtime, I'm walking with you. In the spring, I walk with you among the blooming flowers
In the summer, I watch the stars blinking with you
Wang Taili: In the autumn, I wander with you at dusk in the golden wheat fields
In the winter, the snowflakes fly and you
are warmer
You're my little apple
I couldn't love you more
Your red face warms my heart
Lighting up my heart, I can see that you are a beautiful woman.
