Top 10 Best Songs of Composer Trinh Cong Son

Song A realm go on It was written around 1974 and early 1975, but it was only popularized in 1980. “This is a very strange song, it’s really not easy to understand because there are lines in the song that I also find it difficult to explain. I write it like that, but it’s difficult to explain clearly. When I meet many people, although they study little but they like it, asked if they understand, they replied that they don’t understand but feel there is something inside.

When listening, when singing, something touches my heart. I think in art the most important thing is how to open the shortest path from the heart to the heart of another without any further explanation,” Trinh Cong Son once said.

In Thanh Nien newspaper once wrote: “The musician of love songs Trinh Cong Son was deeply sad when each lover left us like small rivers. It seems that in his songs there are always glimpses of love, sometimes it’s like sunshine like rain, sometimes like fog like smoke, sometimes it’s so illusory, fully understanding those love affairs, perhaps Trinh Xuan Tinh, the younger brother who followed him to the ends of the earth, roamed the world Wandering wanderlust roads, he said: ‘That day, in the middle of the art gallery, there was a girl who was graceful in a bottle-colored silk shirt. A moment of surprise because Mr. Son was very familiar. Eyes, lips. , that smile was bright and pure. At that moment, I really burned.”

Then, the house 47C Pham Ngoc Thach, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City has had a new figure. Space and time there are suddenly romantic and bustling. Brothers and friends are very happy to hear that a man who has been unmarried for ten years is about to enter the earthly paradise garden. That person is VA runner-up Since then, every morning, Mr. Son often sits and drinks something at 81 Nguyen Van Troi cafe with his friends. Random stories, sometimes life stories, people stories, sometimes jokes, but rarely talk about music.

At that time, he was having a very peaceful, gentle happiness. He is also addicted to the dishes he often uses such as dried braised scad, boiled meat, fish sauce, sour shrimp, jackfruit soup, spinach, bitter melon. In those days, he still had a mother. She loved and adored both of them. She also wants to have a grandchild. This is also the time when he has the most intense plan to get married because in him love is a waterfall. One day, the room filled with palm trees, paintings, books, piano and wine was no longer the slender and graceful figure of the lover. He was gone like small rivers. His family and friends know that he is very sad. Sadness does not sink into the abyss but soars that ‘don’t despair, I don’t despair’.

I told my heart like that, but how can it not hurt when ‘autumn leaves fall in the middle of winter’, how can I not be confused when ‘you are me and I am you’, now ‘who am I? , who, who!’. He sat there, watching the sun fade away like a private life. With his lover, he is still generous ‘you are innocent, then you will dawn’. Maybe somewhere, someone is whispering ‘don’t despair, me don’t despair…'”.

The sea remembers my name calling
