You were a teenager

The future I longed for when I was young was the breeze and the bright moon, the soft ripples on the branches, the delicate steps, and the smiles; the love I looked forward to when I was young was the sound of the piano and the harp, the beautiful flowers and the full moon, the deep love that will last until death. The reality is that the future is unknown and has nothing to do with love. As for those great dreams, they have become increasingly blurred by the friction of the years. The word "dream" gradually dimmed and was replaced by "life". This is probably why I burst into tears when I first heard S.H.E's "You Were a Boy". Later, I accidentally saw many people's comments on this song on a forum. Most of them can relate to it. The post-80s and post-90s generation who were once considered to be hopeless and defeated generations have now either entered society and become the backbone of all walks of life; or they are spending time in libraries, classrooms, and libraries for the future. Three o'clock and one line in the dormitory. The word struggle is used so much that it makes people numb. In the past, it was a representative word of excellent quality in middle school compositions, but now it is a true portrayal of countless busy and confused lives in the 80s and 90s. We are no longer naive and have no illusions. Just as the song goes: "You just wave your hand like throwing away waste paper and say it is an inevitable thing in life." After drinking seven points of wine, will you also feel disappointed?

The first time I knew S.H.E was because of the song "Super Star" which was popular in China. As for the original "Girls' Dormitory", I only went back to catch up after that. I still remember when I was in sixth grade, I had the same hairstyle as Ella, riding a mountain bike, always plugging headphones in my ears, feeling super cool. After ten years of dreaming, those children who once watched "Saint Seiya", "Digimon", "Slam Dunk" and "Prince of Tennis" are now watching "Struggle", "Dwelling", "The Age of Naked Marriage" and "Ode to Joy" or More or less, I saw my own shadow.

As a post-90s generation from Sichuan who is struggling in other places, when I hear this song, I feel that every lyric is singing about my true self. The desperation for dreams, the confusion about the future, and the struggle for life. These dejections, confusions, and struggles, even before you have time to think clearly, you have to keep moving forward day after day. "Every day, every year, is always in a hurry." busy". However, whose youth is not confused and whose life is not rushed?

? "You Were a Boy" is by no means a song about the passing of boyhood and the unsatisfactory life now. If it were really like this, it would not touch so many people, let alone attract me. On the contrary, the song is full of positive energy. It spurs reality and allows the audience to question themselves: Do they have to wear a mask of hypocrisy when they grow up? Does becoming mature come at the cost of getting used to lying? Is it true, as they say, that you need to own a house before you can fall in love? Do you really stop trusting strangers after entering society for a long time? Is there a lot more to this, but I think the answer is no.

Having said that, I feel really lucky that this song can be sung by S.H.E. Because apart from them, I can't think of a more suitable person to give this good song a charming soul. From the three girls who first arrived in 2001 to the mature and majestic women they are today, 15 years is enough to change everything. But these three "weird" women have grown from teenagers to adulthood. They have experienced injuries, absences, marriages, and even solo careers. Every time they "disbanded" and made a fuss, they combined again and again to make the rumors heard. , the rumors collapsed and became a joke. They still performed S.H.E-style fights unscrupulously, told those harmless pornographic jokes, and sang those melodies that slowly flowed through each other's youth. Everything was still the same as before. So much so that I truly believe that they can sing until they are 80 years old and love each other forever.

In the past 15 years, despite flying solo, despite experiencing different loves, despite experiencing pain, scandals, misunderstandings, and tasting their own ups and downs, they still maintained their original aspirations and maintained their commitment to their careers. Love, sincerity to fans, sincerity to friends, and kindness to the world. "No matter whether this road is full of thorns or filled with flowers and applause, I just want to share the same boat with my sisters and face life calmly and with a smile.

"This is what I understand about S.H.E's way of life. Selina is brave and romantic, Hebe is kind and idealistic, and Ella is optimistic and outgoing. The three women came together to create a wonderful chemical reaction, which made S.H.E have endless excitement. Vitality has become a mark of an era. I believe that the miracle they created in the music world is not only because of their ability to sing, but also because of their charisma and the beautiful friendship between them that can infect everyone. Selina posted a post a few days ago. Said, "You say there is a kind of friendship called S.H.E, but I want to say, 'There is a kind of love called S.H.E.'" S.H.E's fifteen years have extraordinary meaning to themselves, their fans, and even an era. A kind of magic connects different people, different stories, and different eras together, creating countless beautiful memories. What makes me even more happy and proud is that this magic continues and is still being written.

It is true that their appearance, voice, and surrounding environment have changed over the past fifteen years, but what cannot be changed is their original intention. They are still beautiful and even more charming today. , a charm that is mature but not hypocritical, humble but not arrogant, real but not artificial. They sing in the song, "If you fall in love with someone, you are not afraid to sacrifice your life. Believe that love will last forever. Believe in every stranger. Believe in you." "You will become the person you want to be the most", and they have truly practiced it in life and achieved it. Therefore, who can perform this song more convincingly and penetrate people's hearts than them?

I think youth should be confused. How can one learn to find direction if one has not experienced confusion? I think life should be in a hurry. If one is not busy, how can one know how to enjoy the comfort of leisure? Be it confusion or loneliness, it will not be life after all. The main theme. So what about struggle? This is what life is all about. It is full of dedication and bitterness. Maybe you will still miss this time many years later, just like you miss the time of simply preparing for the college entrance examination. , a middle school life accompanied by lonely desks and desks.

The dream of a teenager is simple and beautiful, but the current goal is simple and realistic, and there is nothing wrong with it. For every realistic goal, you may suddenly realize one day that you are not that far away from the person you want to be. Growth is not about changing directions and losing your dreams, but it is about becoming realistic and pertinent. I am still the brave boy I once was. "Once" is by no means the most vicious curse in the world, but can become the most beautiful memory to treasure.

Whenever the melody of "You Were a Boy" comes to mind. , the past and present will be intertwined in front of me, about my beloved snake group, and about myself. Then I can always get inspiration from it, get strength, find the ideal state, and face loneliness and difficulties, as if I can turn back time. It feels like that time, "when I first met the world, when I was a boy."
