杀死那个石家庄人

The song is about ordinary lives being totally destroyed during a painful economic transition in China (main lyric line: living the same way for 30 years, until the great building collapsed), and the song is extremely impactful in China. Omnipotent youth hotel is arguably the best band in China. Their only 2 albums are 10 years apart and both are amazing. Also the instrument is indeed cello (including the part that sounds like saxophone).

I am here for the tangents 👏😂 Agreed that people don’t take time enough to listen to music, especially when we all have the attention span of a goldfish. The experience of just sitting there and taking in all the layers of the music is underrated. Also lmao re: playing the triangle like you’re on the farm haha

Queen

This was really fucking good, gonna have to check out more from these guys

This was nice. Thanks for sharing. I was very much at peace for a moment until I wasn't, haha. But even with the loud dynamics, I enjoyed the journey. It is true, people much prefer their short term music consumption over longer ones. But I often enjoy the longer ones over the shorter ones. My all time favorite piece of music is 65-minutues across 5 parts.

Glad you loved this one. The song is about common folks in the down fall of the city Shijiazhuang, which is kind like what happened to Detroit. The band itself is also based in that city, and a lot of their songs are about the generation. Also I agree your opinion on the pop music (not only western pop imo). People don't have time anymore to just sit down and enjoy music and do nothing else anymore. So musics with catchy melodies and easy-understanding compositions are more likely to be successful commercially.

Yes, I am talking about it. I almost listened to it everyday ^^

I totally agree with you; I hope you are talking about 河北墨麒麟, which is also my favorite from them. I just afraid it will be too long for a request song XD

Finally!!! This is the best rock band in China, and arguably one of the best rock band in Chinese-speaking region (including Taiwan and Hong Kong). This is the most famous song from the band, although I don’t think it is their best. Their best song, in my opinion, is an 11 minute track in their second album. So 5 minutes or so is definitely not long to them lol. And they do play saxophone. When I watched them live, I think at most they have 10 performers. Their variety is amazing. Anyway, thanks for reacting to this song and thanks Robin. There are some fantastic bands in Taiwan and Hong Kong as well. Hope you will react to those one day ^^
