Continuing my Chinese songs playlist for a couple of weeks now, and I am recently addicted to this song.
I quite like this song, General’s Order《將軍令》which had quite an upbeat tone and lyrics with a hidden meaning.
I find it cool how the song cleverly incorporated Chinese instrumental tune while mixing in Chinese opera style.
While it has a rap feel to it, it also gives a lot of traditional Chinese music style.
However, the MTV doesn’t seems to incorporate any Chinese element or have any relation with the lyrics.
I personally find it interesting how the lyrics were written from the perspective of a soldier.
While they in general needs to follow their general’s order, they have their own thoughts and are human after all.
Don’t worry! While we keep quiet and may not speak our mind, we know what’s right and what’s not.
And we knew, “yo yo yo” is not our language!
