"City in the Sky" is a song sung by Guo Yan, written by a flying wolf in the snowy area and composed by Joe Hisaishi. Released in February 20 13, it belongs to the album "City of the Sky" with the same name.
Guo Yan, born in March 1977 in Xiangyang, Hubei Province, is a mezzo-soprano singer. With years of persistence and unremitting pursuit of music art, it has won the favor of many internationally renowned musicians, such as Matthew Lian, and won the singing and fashion award of the Swiss Cultural Landscape Art Festival in 2009 for its unique blue alto and singing style.
At a nostalgic concert in Hong Kong, people saw her vividly explain the customs of that era. Guo Yan's retro atmosphere and vinyl feelings spread rapidly, and she was praised as "the Queen of Vinyl" by the media.
Song appreciation:
City in the Sky is a piece of music composed by Joe Hisaishi, a famous musician. It was first known for Miyazaki Hayao's animated film City in the Sky. Its beautiful tunes and melodies add a lot of color to this film. Later, "City in the Sky" became famous all over the world as an independent music, and it was widely circulated in various countries after adaptation.
Joe Hisaishi's classic soundtrack is perfectly combined with Guo Yan's magnetic voice, and Guo Yan's singing injects new emotion into this song. Guo Yan's voice is as pure and natural as the blue sky, which seems to purify the chaotic mood.
There are many versions of City in the Sky, such as cello, symphony and acoustic guitar. What I like best is the simplest and purest piano version. Every time people hear it, they feel peaceful, soothing, ethereal and full of vitality, as if everything around them is calm, the world is no longer noisy, life is no longer flashy, enjoy the present well-being and pursue the hope of the future.
