That year, I rode a horse to your white felt hut. I once saw you playing Dongbula and heard you sing... "A Xinjiang song called" Apple Fragrance "successfully sparked widespread attention and resonance on social media through its passionate melody and beautiful lyrics. The song "Apple Fragrance" was released on February 26, 2021, and has recently become popular on the Internet at an amazing speed. At present, it is popular on short video platforms such as Tiktok and Kwai. The song "Apple Fragrance" was created with childhood inspiration. "I grew up in an apple orchard, and at that time, the most beautiful memory was the apple hidden in my mother's cabinet, emitting an apple fragrance that overflowed the entire house, making my mouth water. Memories will slowly fade away with time, but only the apple fragrance in my mind will be presented in front of me when I smell it." Speaking of the song title, the creator of the song, Lang Ge, said that "the fragrance of apples" is the key to opening the door of memory, so the song title is "Apple Fragrance". Wolf Ge's real name is Nurlan Zunong, a Kazakh born in 1963. He has loved singing, painting, and sports since childhood and is known as the "singing wolf on the Gobi Desert in northwest China". From his childhood in the Yili apple orchard to today's national and even international stage, Lang Ge tells the story of Xinjiang with his singing voice and paintbrush, conveying the voice of Xinjiang and winning widespread love and respect. Every lyric carries emotions and a sense of imagery, bringing up the original intention of creation. Lang Ge said, "Apple Fragrance" is a song created for my hometown Yili, Yili Wuyi Commune (now Yingtamu Town). When I was a child, I would go to Yili every holiday, and there were many apple orchards in Yili. Every time I went to Yili, I would play and laugh with my friends in the apple orchard, which was also the happiest and carefree time of my life. "" Apple Fragrance "is not only a song, but also a bridge of emotions, connecting the sweetness of first love, the innocence of childhood, the love of my mother, and the homesickness that is difficult to let go of. Whenever the melody plays, the audience seems to be transported back to those carefree days, feeling the purity and beauty, and the air is also filled with a faint apple fragrance. The singer of 'Apple Fragrance', Lang Ge, created the song by lying at his desk. The lyrics of 'Apple Fragrance' are indispensable for its captivating appeal. From 'The girl who plays Dongbula singing sits in the white felt house on the other side of the river' to 'The fragrance of Leba baked in the bakery permeates the streets', and then to' The child who has been playing wildly in the grassland valley all day returns home to the blue courtyard wall of the lake '. Each sentence is like a carefully crafted pearl, concise and rich in meaning, revealing the creator's deep attachment to past life and infinite longing for the future between the lines. One sentence, one scene, one story, based on the creator's personal experience - when he was young, he met the pure smile of the Kazakh girl Sawuletai by the Yinma River, the gentle melody of Dongbula in his ears, the bakery of the Russian child Aleksandr, the fragrant Leba, the aroma of brine in the southern courtyard, the precise slingshot skills of his second brother, and the figure of his mother waiting for him... Langge used lyrics as a medium to tell the audience. These scenes unfold slowly in the minds of the audience like a movie, making people involuntarily immerse themselves in them. Wolf Ge revealed that the lyrics were written for over 6 months, not overnight or easily completed. Art originates from life and is higher than life. The melody captures the ears, and the lyrics are deep, but emotions are the ultimate skill that moves people. The song 'Apple Fragrance' is written with Yili as the background element, and is written for travelers all over the world. Many of its stories are not just about me, Wolf Ge, but about several generations of Yili people. 'Apple Fragrance' resonates with netizens. The song is inspired by the scene of flowers blooming and falling, especially 'Leaving you in childhood is just the time when the flowers bloom'. When the flowers bloom, people travel far away, which is both romantic and sad, reluctant and nostalgic, while also carrying the longing for the future. It directly hits the hearts of countless travelers, making them feel a strong longing for 'spring breeze and green south bank of the river, when will the bright moon shine on me again'. A netizen named "Yili Fang Jie" deeply touched and said, "As a native of Yili, listening to Teacher Lang Ge sing is full of imagery, with the fragrance of apples filling my face and filled with beautiful memories." In response to the recent popularity of the song "Apple Fragrance" covered by many people online, Lang Ge admitted, "Writing songs has only one purpose, which is to spread the word. With more singers, you may not be able to achieve your own goals, and the singers will help you achieve them. Therefore, I believe that writing songs is to let people spread the word, and the more people sing, the better." Lang Ge performed in Yining City. The popularity of 'Apple Fragrance' is not only a success of a song, but also a wonderful display of the cultural charm of Xinjiang. It has made more people pay attention to Xinjiang, learn about Xinjiang, and experience the local customs and traditions on this land. At the invitation of the local cultural and tourism department, Lang Ge has created the "Ili Trilogy", which includes "Apple Fragrance", "Kazanqi", and "I am Your Late Returning Ma Lang", and will be integrated into characteristic scenic spots such as Six Star Street, Kazanqi, and Bagua City. At present, "Apple Fragrance" has been released, and the lyrics and music composition of the other two songs have been completed and will be released soon. (New Society)
