The music started, and the song title was revealed on the big screen behind the stage: "Like You."
After the prelude, Wang Xuan started singing:
"The drizzle and wind soaked the streets at dusk
Wiping off the rain, my eyes looked up for no reason
Looking at the lonely evening light
It's that sad memory
The countless longings in my heart once again arise
The laughter from the past moments is still on my face
I hope you will know at this moment
This is what I say from the bottom of my heart.”
"Like You" is a Cantonese song composed and written by Huang Jiaju and sung by the rock band Beyond. It is one of the representative works of the band Beyond. This song is actually a song written directly from Wong Ka Kui's heart. It is a song written by Wong Ka Kui to his ex-girlfriend. It can also be regarded as a belated love letter and a confessional song about love.
When he first started making music, due to some reasons, Wong Ka Kui had to give up his beloved girlfriend and put his time and energy into music, which made him feel very guilty. So he wrote the song "Like You" to express his apology and nostalgia for his ex-girlfriend, and the pain of losing love.
This song has a very high status in Cantonese songs. The band Beyond is known as a mountain that is difficult to climb in the rock industry, but "Like You" has become the representative song of the band Beyond. You can imagine how high the status of this song is. high.
After the main song, the climax comes:
"like you
Those eyes are moving
Laughter is more charming
I wish I could caress you gently again
That cute face
Holding hands and talking in sleep
It’s like you and I were together yesterday”
If we say, "Like You", the lead singer of Ka Kui, reveals a touch of sadness, nostalgia for his ex-girlfriend, and no regrets about his choice. So what makes people unable to extricate themselves when listening to Ka Kui's "Like You" is not the few lines of the chorus saying "I like you", but the lonely figure in the main song in the farewell without regrets.
One sentence: I like you more than expressing my humility towards my ex-girlfriend and my nostalgia for the time we were together. It's very similar to a scene often seen in TV dramas: a boyfriend and a girlfriend say goodbye. When parting, the woman asks her last question, and the man blurts out before the woman has finished saying: I loved you!
Ka Kui used a song to express his love.
In front of his girlfriend and music, Jiaju chose music and his dream. But his girlfriend is not the one he loves. So this is the eloquent saying of "In this world, we have both peace and harmony, and we live up to the Tathagata and we live up to you." "I hope you will know at this moment that it is my heartfelt words: I like you, your eyes are moving, and your laughter is even more charming. "
It's a pity that my lover has left and I can't hear his voice anymore, which is a bit regretful. Anyway, Ka Kui's version of "Like You" is a bit heavy, requiring a choice between music and your lover. Most people really can't bear this weight.
Wang Xuan prefers Deng Ziqi's version to Jia Kui's version, and he also sang Deng Ziqi's version.
Ka Kui needs to make a choice between music and lover, but Deng Ziqi does not. "Like You", which was re-arranged by Deng Ziqi, has also been transformed, abandoning the farewell nostalgia for his ex, and more like a prodigal son turning back and regretting his mistakes.
Ka Kui's "Like You" expresses "having loved", but now they are separated and can never look back. And Deng Ziqi's "Like You" expresses that I have loved before, still love now, and have always loved...
It's just that the relationship was not smooth sailing for both parties. They experienced many ups and downs, various accidents, conflicts, incomprehensions, misunderstandings... so much so that they were on the verge of breaking up.
After the other party has made the decision to leave, the protagonist of the song recalls every bit of the past, and his mind is filled with images of the two laughing, crying together, struggling together, and living together. Even the quarrels and the Cold War are recalled like this. Beautiful, I finally realized: It turns out that you have already been deeply rooted in my world. It turns out that the greatest happiness is the joy, anger, sorrow and joy together.
So the protagonist of the song sang this song "Like You" to save his lover.
Both versions have their own merits. In comparison, Wang Xuan prefers Deng Ziqi's version, and he also sings Deng Ziqi's version.
Of course, there is another reason why Wang Xuan chose to sing Deng Ziqi's version. He is currently competing on the stage of "The King of Masked Singer". Ka Kui's version is too deep. In comparison, Deng Ziqi's version is more suitable for this stage. The tune is cheerful and high-pitched, full of passion and vitality.
Wang Xuan's singing voice, full of passion and vitality, also electrified the audience with constant screams.
No, it should be said that the scene exploded as early as the climax.
“Awesome, awesome!”
"Damn it, this song...is another classic."
"I like you, your eyes are moving, and your laughter is even more charming. I wish I could caress your lovely face again, hold hands and talk in sleep, just like you shared with me yesterday... Oh my god, what kind of fairy-level lyrics are these."
"Dad Ci is talking about you, right? Boss Baihu!"
"As for lyrics, composition, and arrangement, Baihu can do it all, and he's top-notch in everything."
"Invincible! Mr. White Tiger's Cantonese song is invincible."
.....
After the interlude, the main song sounded again:
"I was so impulsive when I was full of ideals
You complain that it’s hard to have freedom when you fall in love with him
I hope you will know at this moment
This is what I say from the bottom of my heart.”
Ka Kui's version of this verse is full of helplessness between the lines, the helplessness of not being able to have both his ideal and his lover, so that he chose his ideal and was full of humility towards his ex-girlfriend.
He sang very deeply, and the regret, sadness, and helplessness of being unable to have both music and love were vividly displayed in Kaju's singing. It's that feeling of being full of affection but wanting to stop talking.
As for Deng Ziqi's version, which is also the version that Wang Xuan sings now, this verse is more about regret and guilt. It is about regret and guilt for neglecting your lover because you only have ideals in your eyes.
Now he has woken up, but the other person has decided to leave. The protagonist of the song wants to retain the other person and keep his love.
"like you
Those eyes are moving
Laughter is more charming
I wish I could caress you again
That cute face
Holding hands and talking in sleep
Just like yesterday when you were with me"
So in the chorus immediately after this verse, Wang Xuan sang harder and more passionately.
"It's amazing, the emotions seem to be sublimated." Li Yiqun said.
"Yes, the first chorus is just what the protagonist of the song says to his lover, expressing his longing for his lover. But in the second chorus, the protagonist of the song seems to want to tell the whole world, declare to the whole world that I like you." Reviewed by Gu Jiahui.
...
"Walking alone every night
It's so cold everywhere
I used to struggle for myself
Never knew her pain”
When this section played, the entire audience stood up from their seats, screamed, followed the rhythm, and waved their light sticks.
Even several judges couldn't help but stand up.
It's so explosive.
Yes, Deng Ziqi's version of "Like You" downplays the sadness, has a cheerful melody, and is full of vitality and passion. Even the many consecutive paragraphs of "oh oh oh" at the end are full of passion.
By the time Wang Xuan finished singing this song, the entire scene was already in a state of excitement.
