Wang Leehom’s only appreciation

Only

Excerpted from "Only Music Book" Leehom's narration

[Only]

This song is my secret in Greece It was completed in Kenos between five and six o'clock in the morning. This family trip in mid-August was filled with leisurely afternoons and seaside breezes, tanned skin and various drinks in the glass. Everything around us shaped a great summer vacation! It has been exactly two years since I last took a day off from my busy schedule, let alone a week this time; I finally have the opportunity to slow down and have my own time to think about my life - -Your own private life. There was no work to be done in a hurry in Greece, and my schedule for that week was completely blank! I truly believe that the time of those few days seemed to have stood still; in fact, the time of those few days has stayed there forever, just like a part of my soul still remains on the sailing boat crossing the Aegean Sea, gently rocking with it With. The Greek stars and night sky have been the source of inspiration for countless classical Greek myths, inspiring these fairy tales with human flaws. It is also the same stars and night sky that made me feel infinite loneliness in the early morning of August 17th. . I quietly got out of bed, not wanting to wake up my sleeping brother and father. I walked out of the house and started walking aimlessly on the empty streets in the cold wind. It was about five o'clock in the morning. I saw my own shadow under the moon, and scribbled down the song [Only] on the PDA, and this song was born.

How tilted is my sky

The transparent promise is the air of the past

It is you who signs my hand

But you But I can’t see the smile clearly

Has a star changed its heart

All my previous wishes have been abandoned

Recently I can’t breathe even my own shadow

Everyone wants to escape

I subconsciously thought about why love is so unfair and why two people in the same relationship have different understandings of each other's relationship. Such a different difference. When he is completely convinced that she is the only one in his heart, she may be unhappy. When a pair of lovers are far apart, all they can hold on to is their promise to each other. But in the experience of this incident, the promise has gradually withered and become transparent, drifting away like yesterday's air. Fading away. He suspected that the star that had witnessed their wishes had changed its mind, and perhaps it had decided to abandon their wishes because the old promise had been shattered. Finally, he considered giving up everything to fulfill this relationship. Completely escaping from everything, even his own shadow, seemed to be the only way he could be with her.

Many of the love songs I have written before are about long-distance love relationships, such as: [The first day of forever], [You can tell me (who else do you love)], [Mary Says], [Trust], etc. Now you can add the two songs [Only] and [Security]. Whenever I write a love song, I think I have no way not to write it from the depths of my heart, because my personal emotional experience will affect my heart at that time and will inevitably show up.

[The only one] is the story of my mood while sitting alone on the Greek island of Mykonos between five and six o'clock in the morning on August 17, 2001. Thank you for hearing this song and letting it be a part of your life.

I have to admit that I think the melody of this song is really beautiful, just like the beautiful scenery on the Aegean Sea. I discovered this feeling after listening to the sheet music version of "Only", because compared to the previous The album version of "Only" has been sung badly by everyone. I like this version better that Leehom played and sang by himself. I think it is closer to Leehom's mood when he wrote this song. I heard him sing it with his soul. The sound of the piano played with the soul, especially at the end, vents the helpless and helpless feelings to the highest point. No matter what, this song is a classic of "macro love songs".

I agree very much with Leehom's statement, "Whenever I write a love song, I think there is no way I can't help but write it from the depths of my heart." I think this is why Leehom's love songs are always so touching! Because I think if you want to write a touching love song, the person who writes the song must put his own inner feelings into it. Otherwise, how could there be so many feelings?

The one I love is you

The melody of this song first came to my mind, and then, even the harmony took shape effortlessly. There is no songwriting process, no musical instruments, no pen or paper, just humming out naturally. It seems to be a familiar melody from the past life, spread out in front of me with a carefree and unrestrained look; even today, I still feel the same about this song. A song born of longing and born so completely naturally.

For the past three years, I have been the spokesperson for China's pure water - [Wahaha]. As soon as the melody of this song emerged, I knew it would be the best advertising song for [Wahaha]. [Wahaha] is the number one selling mineral water in mainland China, both in Beijing and Shanghai. Be it Inner Mongolia or Tibet, you can see them everywhere. It's such an honor to be the face of something that sells so successfully, so when they asked me if I could do a new song this year, I excitedly handed over [Love Is You]. When filling in the lyrics, Yuanyuan, Xiaolou and I tried to convey a feeling of simplicity, naturalness, magnanimity, kindness and love, just like the impression that water gives people. I think we were successful.

[My Love Is You] has become one of my favorite songs. It is a song that I want to sing loudly when I am happy. I hope it can bring you joy too!

A very simple but nice song. This song is full of Leehom's clean and impurity-free voice and lazy electric guitar. It makes people feel a little relaxed after listening to the heavy emotion of "Only". It seems to remind the listeners not to get too carried away. In the artistic conception of "Only", there is still good music waiting behind! ! And it is not an exaggeration to give this song the best advertising song ~ 200 popularity ~ Wahaha really found the right person ~ Haha ~ But why did Wahaha choose "By the Plum" as the advertising song in the new album? It’s quite different~ Wouldn’t “Big City, Little Love” be more suitable? My classmate also asked me very puzzledly why "By the Plum Blossoms" was a Wahaha advertising song. It seemed completely out of line @_@

Refuse to promote your love

When this record reaches the third song [Refuse to Sell Your Love], the rock style begins to become noticeably stronger. As soon as the harmonies emerge, the song jumps in relentlessly with a shocking burst of energy. Led by Prince and Lenny Kravitz, I strummed acoustic and electric guitars, and the sound came like a rainstorm, taking the music to a whole new level. In the middle of the song, you can also hear my crazy jazz-influenced electric guitar playing style... I hope when you hear those sounds, you're going to say, "Wow, what the hell is that!" This kind of rapid playing technique is something I developed in the song on my last album [Rhapsody World]; you will definitely hear more of it in the future. Arranging this song was also very interesting. I even bought a white Lbanez Jem guitar for this song, which made me even more excited when arranging this song.

When He Qihong and I sat down to write the lyrics for this song, we both tried hard to come up with a title for it that was assertive, funny, and at the same time a bit playful. Later, Qihong went to the toilet, but when he came back, he found himself locked out of the studio door. Staring at the sign on the door that read "No Sales", he suddenly had an idea, and the title of our song was born.

The feeling of rock is here! ! And I like to listen to this song together with "Go Bad", it will feel more exciting and enjoyable~ Turn up the sound to the loudest and roar hysterically along with Leehom! ! ! However, the focus of this song is on the guitar. Although I don’t have the ability to hear any JAZZ FELLING, the electric guitar and the acoustic guitar are played at a good distance apart, which makes people’s ears shine, and I can’t help but praise it.

During the ENDING, the guitar and singing suddenly stopped, giving people the feeling of being down without finishing, just like the feeling when doing door-to-door sales after spending a lot of time talking and the owner suddenly slammed the door.

Security

When love is hot, fresh, and unresisting, it often makes us feel brave and invincible. She caressed your hair gently, feeling like an angel's hand caressing you. The lingering fragrance on her body evaporated little by little along with the sporadic flashes of doubt in your heart. A warm and hot flame ignites in your heart, that is a sense of security. But how can we maintain this sense of security?

We tried to keep the flames burning steadily, but the wind blew relentlessly and the flames flickered, flickered, and sometimes went out. But if we persevere and pay careful attention, it will soon be possible to reignite the flame and give it twice as much fuel as before.

Everyone deserves to have a sense of security, not only in love and at work, but even when alone. It is an indispensable element for building trust and cooperation, allowing lovers to call, and working efficiently. But it requires a lot of time to operate, unremitting efforts, selfless and continuous dedication.

The prelude of this song is a series of silent drum beats, like an insecure heart beating nervously. The song outlines the pain of having the flame of love extinguished no matter how hard you try to rekindle it. This is a true reflection of my life experience because long distance relationships are so fraught with insecurities. As the melody develops, the entire orchestra also joins in to play, flying together with the singing, injecting power into the song, symbolizing the eagerness to find the lost feeling. I hope this song can fill your heart with strength and courage, so that you can feel safe every time you listen to it.

My wife loves this song. The beginning ~ 40 seconds of drums and ethereal guitar sounds ~ makes people feel a sense of tension and helplessness that is so oppressive and breathless ~~ The drum beat stopped, and what appeared was the helpless voice of the person who had lost his sense of security. Later, Leehom's voice became more and more powerful, as if he was trying his best to block the distance of time and space. Long-distance love cannot be maintained by a sweet phone call every day as imagined~~its insecurity is so ubiquitous~No matter what, I hope Leehom and all lovers who are in long-distance love~ can make this safe The feeling lasts without falling.

I can’t quit you

The long-lost love occupies your thoughts, controls your emotions, and empties you completely. The emptiness and pain are not the place of any of the heaviest sorrows. Comparable. Her every frown, smile, and every move occupies your mind, as if you are so hopelessly obsessed with her.

My good friends John, Mark, and Vatru, and I were playing our instruments at Futura in Boston by feel. It was a fun day and we just wanted to jam and play music. When Mark started playing a bass melody in the E minor harmonic scale, the three of us were casually playing different rhythms in the live studio. I said to him: "By the way, just keep playing!" and started playing chords on the piano. As soon as Watru got a hold of me and Mark, he just casually produced these beautiful drum sounds that you hear on the album. Unlike other songs I've ever written, this one was composed and recorded at the same time! We will only briefly discuss
