"Long-lost things are still sweet, and long-lost people are still in the first album."
These are the first two sentences of the campus folk song "Long-lost Things" which ended on 20 15. It sang all my memories of the past.

1994, Hebei Radio broadcasted a new program "Variety Symphony". Unexpectedly, its programs were well-made and its music library was not particularly rich, but it was a live variety show, which was relatively rare at that time.
Probably when the weather was getting hotter, one day the program started. The host said that the new album was called Campus Folk Songs, which contained many songs written and sung by college students themselves. Then it was broadcast several times in a row, including you at the same table. Then the host said, "We invited the singer of this song today. His name is Lao Lang. " . I'm not used to listening. The campus should be fresh and refined. How did the singer get the name underworld boss? That sounds very Qi Fei.
I don't remember what Lao Lang said in the interview. He is somewhat introverted, inarticulate and rarely gives interviews. In fact, it is true that he has just started his career. After listening to this program, I feel as if Hebei Satellite TV still can't do it. You can only release such an unpopular new album and interview unknown new singers. The names "Chong" and "Jianghu Qi" may not be popular in the future.
To my surprise, I soon heard this song on more radio stations, and its MV, then called MTV, began to play on TV. The wolf in the MV is ugly, but the heroine with big eyes and long hair is beautiful and pure. What impressed me the most was the footage that showed the return of time. The words written on the stationery are sucked back by the pen one by one. A woman's bicycle began to turn upside down, and the old wolf walked backwards while tidying up his clothes.
The more you listen to it, the more you feel that the song is beautiful, the melody is beautiful and the lyrics are moving. You cried, long hair rolled up, half eraser and lost in the wind are romantic, sad and nostalgic.
1994 entered high school in September. During the military training, a girl sang a song with great fanfare. A listen to is "you at the same table". After she finished singing, the students didn't applaud much. First of all, few people may have heard of her. Second, I think she really can't sing well, or this song is not suitable for girls. But I was very happy to know that someone was paying attention to this song.
More than 20 years later, I saw the old wolf here again. Repeatedly chanting, the name is no longer tacky.

The wolf in the center of the stage is still in his hair. It hasn't changed for many years, but his hair is white. The dark coat was unbuttoned, and inside was a black T-shirt with a picture of a man playing guitar.
Long-lost Things is included in 1996' s album Youth Without Regret. In particular, this song was not recorded in the studio, but the live version. Judging from the sparse applause, it was in a small performance with a small audience. Lao Lang's words were also recorded, which sounded like part of this song. I don't quite understand what the four words of the last sentence are. I always feel like I'm saying "Let's go, little brother". A few years later, I realized that it was "Xiaoke, let's go". Xiaoke is Xiaoke now.
Lao lang's performance did not rearrange the songs, and the singing method was the same as before. Most of the songs that night were handled in this way. I believe that when a singer sings a song countless times until he is about to vomit, he really wants to change his adaptation and singing style, suppress his inner fatigue and show his ability. This kind of experiment can be done at will when the cover album is released, but once it comes to the concert, it is necessary to sing the original flavor honestly, because so many viewers are aiming at this psychological resonance.
The next three songs are Winter in Beijing, Fantasy of Birds and Sunshine. In these three songs, Lao Lang didn't speak. Each song is equipped with synchronous subtitles on the screen, and the song title and songwriter are displayed before the lyrics. Sunny is Xu Wei's work. Later, Xu Wei sang it on his album, but I still want to listen to the Lao Lang version.
After Sonny finished eating, the old wolf opened his mouth and spoke softly, not forgetting to tell a few jokes. "Hello, everyone. I was so nervous when I first came up, I had to sing some songs to relax. I haven't sung solo in Beijing for many years, so I think I should come to the show. There are many familiar ones today. Thank you for coming. Today, I heard many people say that folk songs are popular again, and then some people said that I was the originator, a living fossil or something. In fact, I don't think it's important. What's important is that these works can really enter everyone's hearts. "
Speaking of which, a girl in the audience shouted "Wolf" and laughed, followed by cheers and applause.
"Out of danger" appeared. This song is not the first time for me to listen to it. Later, when singing K songs, I always listened to a college classmate sing, which was also a good work. After this song, the subtitle is "I want to sing it to you", but the stage is the prelude to "model love letter". Someone said something wrong at once, and the old wolf realized that it was wrong. He smiled and held out his hand to stop: "Sorry, stop, our song is wrong." After the prelude was corrected, the girl in charge of harmony at the scene began to sing with Lao Lang. This song was originally sung by Wang Zheng, Aiqi, Xiao Ke and Lao Lang. Now it's harmony singing. Does this mean that there are no guests that night, and Lao Lang will support the audience alone? Will Ye Bei come? Will Gao come?
Then came the real model love letter. Most of the songs that night were written by Gao, and this song was sung by Gao himself. Although you can say that he wrote the lyrics, and he has a better understanding of the lyrics, no matter his voice or preconceived ideas, Gao can never be compared with the original.
The last four songs are My Heart, Blue Ideal, About Ideal and Future, and Mike.
The old wolf began to talk again. "I have worked with these musicians on the stage for 89 years, and they are all excellent. I always sing an accompaniment band when I go to the cave. Sing more and more. Of course, sometimes I secretly sing an accompaniment band. But these musicians on the stage perform on the stage, and every instrument is endowed with emotion. This is completely different from those accompaniment bands. I like this feeling on the stage. "
Then I sang "Beauty" and "Stand Wrong". This is the first time I have listened to the latter song. Finally, there is a theme song of the Japanese movie Hunting. The old wolf sang "La La La ~" repeatedly, and a person next to him recited his lines-"Du Qiu, what a blue day …" In fact, on the same day, Beijing bid farewell to the blue sky and white clouds for several days, and the smog began to gather again.
Lao Lang began to introduce these two songs. "Beauty" was just written by Gao Feng, the peak of singing "Greater China" that year. He's dead. He has gone ... "A woman in the audience shouted," Twelve years. " . The old wolf is right. Gao Feng is very talented. That's a real pity. "The second song was written by Zhong Lifeng, and I think he is also an undeveloped talented singer. Finally, we put a little "hunting" just to tell you that we didn't like it very much in the past, just a little. "
"100% Girls" and "Sisyphus" are Yu Dong's works. He was also a representative figure of campus folk songs in that year, with excellent writing and singing skills. After singing these two songs, I also said that I really hope to write some good songs.
After "The Lover of the Wandering Singer", it was a familiar guitar prelude, and "My brother sleeping on my upper bunk" finally appeared. When I first heard it, I was attracted by its lyrics. "The words you carved on the wall are still clear and no one can erase them from now on." . At that time, I thought it was a wonderful detail and could be written into a beautiful song.

"More than 20 years ago, I first went to CCTV in poly theatre," Lao Lang said. "At that time, I built a platform in the 20th row of the audience. I performed in the chair above and sang "You at the same table". " Someone shouted "Yes" in the audience, and the old wolf said, "Yes? It was the university graduation party in 1994, which is recorded here. "
I remember this party, too. I still remember that the subtitle given to him at that time was not Lao Lang, but his real name was Wang Yang. The party also introduced a person, that is, He Jiong, who performed a sketch, one of whom was selling insoles.
Compared with workers' sports and teenagers' sports, poly theatre's performance can only be regarded as a small performance, which can only accommodate less than 2,000 seats. But I think the experience of watching this kind of performance is better than that of the grand theater. First of all, singers can see clearly, hear clearly and interact closely on stage and off stage. I brought a telescope, but it didn't help much. The small venue gives the audience a sense of existence forever.
If you sit in the Workers' Sports Institute with the same or even higher ticket price, the singers on it are as small as matchsticks. Watching TV through a telescope is not a good experience. You can't see clearly without a telescope, and it's easy to leave the scene. You need to keep reminding yourself that it's there.
The old wolf went on to say, "I hope to return to my singing position." . The audience shouted, "Come on." The wolf said, "it's a pity that our line is not long enough." At that party, I pretended to play the guitar and lip-synched, which shows how many mistakes I made, but the song was quite popular. Now I finally don't have to lip-synch and we can sing together. "
After the applause, the familiar harmonica sounded, "Do you remember the diary you wrote yesterday ..." Only "You at the same table" had no subtitles in the whole performance that night. The subtitle group is unlikely to make mistakes, it should be intentional. This song is so familiar to everyone that the subtitles are redundant. In the last part of La La La, the music suddenly stopped and the audience sang loudly together.
In the applause, Lao Lang looked up at the second floor and asked, "Where is my deskmate? On the second floor, right? " I didn't see anyone stand up, just cheering.

After Love in the Dust, I had a short rest, and then there was the prelude to Youth Without Regret. The old wolf came back and changed his short coat into gray casual clothes. This song was originally sung by Lao Lang and Ye Bei. Does this mean that Ye Bei will also appear?
Sure enough, just after the first part of the male voice, Ye Bei took to the stage to sing, wearing a dark skirt, trousers and a white jacket. The last paragraph has a high pitch. Ye Bei didn't say a few words, but Lao Lang took it tacitly.
The wolf came down to rest, and Ye Bei spoke alone. "Long time no see." At this time, a man under the stage shouted "Sister" and burst into laughter. Ye Bei also smiled. "I have been singing with Lao Lang for a long time. I am already familiar with the smile and gentleness of the old wolf on the stage. Every time I sing, my emotions are flowing, not a professional voice. Every time I sing this song "Youth Without Regret", I will think of being together for so long, thinking of the past, just like watching a movie. "
After Rain in B minor is Ye Bei's masterpiece, but the singing style is different from the usual version, and there are some changes in the chorus. Then the old wolf appeared and sang "The Age of Innocence" with Ye Bei. This song was also written in winter.
Ye Bei waved her to step down, and this scene gave her a long applause. Watching her go away, the old wolf said, "It's good to have a companion when singing." The last song, he sang "Love is a Song".
I also like the moon in Lao Lang's song, but I didn't sing it that night. This song is written in memory of Gu Cheng, and its lyrics are deep and lofty.

After the performance, Weibo released two live photos of Lao Lang. One person commented that Lao Lang's facial expression was still shy and sincere.
Music has extraordinary magic. Familiar songs can always bring people memories of that year. What you experienced when listening to this song can gradually emerge as you hear this song again, and even your mood can be restored. If ordinary pop music has this magical effect, then campus folk songs evoke inner memories; Simple love songs can also retain memories, but the lyrics and melodies of the innocent age can grow to the heart.
