【brief introduction】
"Other People's Songs + My Words" is the original version of "Other People's Songs" plus a new chapter, the new chapter is written "My Words", the text is from Lin Xi's 2014 "Non-related Music" column, review A batch of Mandarin lyrics; Lin Xi said that this chapter "transcends the melody, and adds to the lyrics where the lyrics have not been fully: extension, filler, association, annotation, critique, I critique my own words, this move may not be the last, it is definitely unprecedented.".
As for the original version of "Other People's Songs", it's not just a popular song written by Lin Xi when he debuted in those years; it's the title of the song that summarizes the theme of the article, those chores about lyrics that were written in the youth, because the time is so long, Speaking and writing, it seems to be someone else's song.
"The me of today meets the me of the past again, like a different person, saying that other people's songs are too expressive."
A lyricist who has written lyrics for more than 30 years, and is still writing hard. Over the years, he has been busy writing lyrics and less about lyrics.
As he wrote in the preface of the book: "Zhang Ailing said that if you are busy in love, you have no time to fall in love, and if you are busy writing lyrics, you have no time or mood to speak lyrics. For example, people who write novels rarely say The way of writing novels, a too rational head cannot give birth to a natural and natural life; if you think too much and write too many tricks for conceiving bridges, your works will be mechanized and lack aura. At least, in order to keep the arrogant, lonely and stylish Image, it is better to say less.”
Well, today I revisit those lyrics, songs, and music that were written many, many years ago. Time makes everything so wonderful.
"These cultural relics are quite special. They are all about the right and wrong of popular songs and gossip about the creation of lyrics. After a few years of entering the industry, I have hardly written anything about writing songs. It is rare, so it is valuable."
Rarely, this book also includes the lyrics manuscripts written by Lin Xi on manuscript paper in those years.
I dare not say that this is the only lyrics that Lin Xi wrote, but the ones compiled into the book are still valuable.
