Creation background

By the end of 1986, Ka Kui Wong had finished the arrangement of The Good Earth, which had not been published at that time. However, in the process of recording "The Secret Police", the demo recorded by Ka Kui Wong could not be found. Finally, Ka Kui Wong included it in the album Secret Police, and Ka Kui Wong's songs and Paul's singing were highly recognized, and The Good Earth became a hit. The arrangement of this song was jointly organized by their old friend Peter ·LAU. In terms of music style, it is a little out of BEYOND's consistent rock and roll, but it adds a little fresh Chinese flavor. Although the lyrics were written by Liu Zhuohui, they still express BEYOND's feelings for the land of China. Generally speaking, land is a great breakthrough for BEYOND.

Song appreciation

The Good Earth mainly reflects cross-strait relations, expresses beyond's patriotic feelings and their love for the motherland. From another point of view, this song also implicitly expresses a certain degree of fatherly love, because fatherly love is as vigorous as the earth, so the lyrics also use "Looking at my father's smile, I feel speechless unconsciously". To sum up, it can be seen that beyond wrote great love with fatherly love, which sublimated the artistic conception of this poem "The Good Earth", which is far from being as simple as it seems. In terms of musical style, BEYOND's consistent rock music has added a little fresh China flavor. Although the lyrics were written by Liu Zhuohui, they still express BEYOND's feelings for the land of China. "The Good Earth" was originally intended to be called "Yangtze River", just like running water flowing from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau through the whole land of China to the sea, which is the lifeblood of China people. This song has a magnificent melody and complex feelings, which are related to the feelings of society and home country.
