White pigeon

White pigeon

"White dove" is an album released by Wu Bai on November 4, 1999. It contains 14 songs and is released by rolling stone.

In 1999, records became accessories for watching and wearing, not for listening. Just as pop music was emptied and foamed by music itself, Wu Bai's album "white pigeon" was particularly noticeable in the clamour of voices. For Wu Bai, "white dove" is the mood he has practiced for many years. It is a stage in his journey, not the end. Because he is still flying, it is an album "in flight".

Creative background

"Destruction" and "creation" have always been the important factors for Wu Bai to attract the public: the adventure of the lonely bird in the branches, the end of love against the Mandarin love songs of that time, the live series challenging the traditional Taiwanese language and the restrictions on recording, Wu Bai resisting the unchanging silence with his actions, creating a new understanding of music in Taiwan. When ordinary people are used to pursuing more complicated timbre forms, Wu Bai doesn't use avant-garde methods to express a kind of complexity, nor does he use playful methods to express a kind of interest. The white dove abandons all the possibility of external show off, but focuses on the recognition of land and real life. These actions are really bold.

At the end of the five hundred century, I present the latest album white dove. With a sincere voice, I invite you to feel his inner confession. The content of this album does not focus on the love between men and women in the world, but adds the care for the whole society and the people. I hope you can deeply feel his inner thoughts and his music ideas from the album. The song "white dove" in the album is specially made by Wu Bai for Zhuang Jiahui, a pregnant woman who was shot at Guangsan department store in Taiwan. This song tells the story of freedom, which means that even though she is injured and bleeding, she can continue to fly strong. Wu Bai believes that setbacks happen all the time. The most important thing is how to seek the freedom of the soul and fly high again. After "lonely bird on a branch" in January 1998, Wu Bai made this album after more than a year of mood precipitation, which is his deepest inner voice. The album does not have too many dazzling tricks and techniques, only uses sincere voice and unrefined music to express his heart. As a creator, Wu Bai thinks that with so many supporters, he should do more and more profound things, so that he will not be ashamed when he listens again in the future.

Dove contains a lot of discussions about life

It seems that the "white dove" in the world of five hundred individuals actually contains a lot of discussions about life. For Wu Bai, the "white dove" is the mood he has practiced for many years, a stage (not the terminal) of his journey, because it is still flying, a record "in flight".

The concept of "white dove" came into being in early 1999 when Wu Bai went to the mainland with the film "beautiful new world". Over the past year or so, because of work, Wu Bai has been in and out of Taiwan, Hong Kong, mainland China, Singapore, Malaysia and other Chinese regions for many times. He is particularly impressed by the differences between the two places in various aspects. Perhaps Taiwan has many problems and there is still much room for improvement. However, we have the most intangible and valuable "freedom" which is easily overlooked by ordinary people How does an injured Taiwan hope and fly? It sees the difficulties in Taiwan's life, but it also sees the future and hope. "Even with eternal wounds, at least I still have freedom.

This is a song written for Taiwan Wu Bai said.

The single "white dove" was completed in early 1999, and the production of the album "white dove" was completed at the end of August. After hearing about Wu Bai's intention and paying attention to Taiwan, the staff can't help worrying whether the production attempt of "white dove" will not be easily understood and accepted in the relatively fast sensory environment? "White dove" strives for a kind of relief not affected by the uneasy environment, which is a reminder of the freedom of the soul. We all need to pay more attention to life and essence, not the dazzling or empty moaning of a swarm of bees. Obviously, Wu Bai's creation is often a return and Reflection on the essence of music. From its formation to its production, the original intention of "caring about Taiwan" has not changed. Especially after the earthquake, when we look back at the production process of "white dove", we can find its rich significance.

The song "white dove" in the album is specially made by Wu Bai for Zhuang Jiahui, a pregnant woman who was shot at Guangsan department store in Taiwan. This song tells the story of freedom, which means that even though she is injured and bleeding, she can continue to fly strong.

Album appreciation

(author: watching snow in snow mountain)

"Dove" this album contains the exploration and research of life. Since then, Wu Bai's songs are no longer just about love, it and the next two albums are all inclusive, with a variety of themes. The white dove is to explore life, the river of dreams is a dream poem, and the bridge of tears is to feel life.

After the earthquake in Taiwan, where should we go? How to boost the morale of the people in Taiwan and let everyone see hope and tomorrow? So Wu Bai said that "white dove" is a song written for Taiwan.

I always think that "white dove" represents Wu Bai's highest achievement. When I talk about Wu Bai with my friends, I often say: "after" white dove ", Wu Bai is no longer." although this is obviously biased, in my heart, after "white dove", I really haven't written such infatuated albums as "the end of love", "lonely birds in branches" and "white dove". This year, Wu Bai was 31 years old.

"Addicted" is the first song in the album, but it doesn't attract me. After listening to it many times, I don't know what kind of emotion Wu Bai wants to express. It seems decadent, but it has passion, so I'm always confused. Maybe Wu Bai wants to express a kind of confused emotion.

"Real world" is one of the best songs I think so far. At first, I listened to it in 2005. At that time, I had little life experience, and I didn't feel this song at all, even a little disgusted. Until 2008, I suddenly fell in love with this song. No matter the words and music, they are the most real and moving. With more life experience, my feelings for this world are different from those of my youth. I really understand the meaning of the "real world". How should we face this In a society, the complexity of society, love and hypocrisy appear at the same time, pay also to guard against, reality and ideal can not be integrated. Where should we go. When I understand this song, I clearly understand that I have really grown up and never dream of my Utopia when I was a child. Reality is always reality. Only by working hard can I finally get something. Understand this song, let me learn to think and explore.

"Don't care about me" is also a very nice song, which continues Wu Bai's sentimental love song type. This song is like a poem. Wu Bai's voice is moving and distressing. The tune is very nice, gentle and sentimental. "Life belongs to loneliness after all." when I hear this sentence, my heart resonates with Wu Bai. After the glory, there is only bleak, flowers in the past, and only the future I withered branches, life whether vigorous, or flat light, after all, is attributed to loneliness.

If this album represents Wu Bai's highest achievement, then the song of the same name "white dove" is also the best of the best. Wu Bai was originally written to Ms. Zhuang Jiahui, who was injured in a shooting case, to cheer her up. But after the September 21 earthquake, this song has a deeper mission and significance. This song let the disaster stricken Taiwan see the hope and future. Thinking of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, a group of star singers went to the disaster area to make a show, but did not produce a five hundred, nor a "white dove". No matter how beautiful the reconstruction of the disaster area is, no matter how beautiful they are What about the healing of the wounds in Taiwan? When can the wounds in the soul heal? Really, sometimes I really think that Taiwan has five hundred people, who are really happy.

"God save me" seems to be a song describing the boredom of life and the desire for relief. The song is both dull and light. It sounds like a Western song, and it is also a song I often sing. I don't know where to listen to the grapevine. Wu Bai is going to hold a concert in the mainland. The Chinese government ordered him not to sing this song before he was allowed to hold a concert in the mainland. In fact, I don't see anything special about this song. I guess the tune of this song has a Western flavor, and the title of the song mentions the God of the West. What does it matter? Wu Bai is from Taiwan People, who have been educated and influenced by Taiwan since childhood, are not allowed to write any songs. However, such a topic is a sensitive topic after all. In order to avoid getting into trouble, it's better to say less. It will be mentioned again in the future. Anyway, Wu Bai is a very sensitive and controversial figure in the mainland.
