Remix songs first appeared around the late 1960s and early 1970s in New York City. Until recently the remix songs are accepted by our Chinese people. Especially the younger generation. I've always been a fan of remix songs, have heard lots of remix songs. Today let me introduce you a rising remix star and his Chinese remix song-For A Day.
For A Day was concluded in the album of the same name, came out in 2nd Sep,2016. Chace & Moksi composer Yihan Zhu, a rising star of Chinese remix ,who started to accept the training when he was 9.
What are remix songs? Remix songs are the different versions of a musical recording produced by remixing. It adds more elements basic on the original edition. Generally speaking, remix culture can be defined as the global activity consisting of the creative and efficient exchange of information made possible by digital technology that is supported by the copy.
Ordinary Chinese remix music attempts to copy foreign style completely or prevent from being influenced from it. However, both two kinds cannot be accepted by most of Chinese, especially by most of the Chinese young people.
What makes this For A Day look like different from other remix music? The answer is that he combines the foreign style with Chinese pop music. That kind of mix gives his song-For A Day a new life, new style, which appears absolutely different from the classical remix music. Fixed with Chinese features of music, especially of Chinese pop music, this song attracts more and more Chinese young people to listen.
Even only through the lyrics you can feel his passion for the music. Furthermore, he expresses his understanding about remix songs.The Chinese lyrics is as followed:
I walked a thousand miles left the city behind
And suddenly my heart went blind
I saw it in her eyes she is one of a kind
She kept on spinning in my mind
Yesterday i was caught in the rain
Today my troubles went away
Tomorrow i would be glad to say
I only loved her for a day
I walked a thousand miles left the city behind
And suddenly my heart went blind
I saw it in her eyes she is one of a kind
She kept on spinning in my mind
Yesterday i was caught in the rain
Today my troubles went away
Tomorrow i would be glad to say
I only loved her for a day
I like the way he expresses himself especially The remix songs are not the things that only foreigner could produce. It's about the whole world including our China. I admire him of his talent, his passion and his patriotic spirits. Those things make him create such wonderful remix songs and bring us Chinese style remix songs.
