In the clip released by the producer on May 9, musician Nguyen Van Chung (author of the song 3 billion views Continuing the story of peace) brought to the program "Memories of Youth" (officially aired on May 11, on VTV9) a special souvenir - a CD compilation of the world's best dance music released by the Casa Musica Music Production Center of Germany.
What makes him proud is the presence of the song "Mother's Diary" - a composition of his that is recognized by international friends.
Sharing with MC Minh Ngoc, Musician Nguyen Van Chung said: I wrote this song in 2008, when I was about to have my mother's birthday. I want to give you a spiritual gift that is more special than every year. As a musician specializing in writing love songs, writing a song about my mother is a milestone for me.
The song is up to 9 minutes long, he was worried that no singer would dare to perform it. But when Hien Thuc recorded and artist Tri Duc painted illustrative sand paintings, the song suddenly spread strongly, being loved at home and abroad.
The male musician recalled his special feelings when giving this song to his mother: My mother doesnt often praise me, always follows me with reminders. But I know my mother is proud, because after that, every night she rings in the room.
From that success, he was motivated to write many other songs about his mother, including "Con dep dap me", a composition born at a time when he failed at a startup.
When I got home, my mother didnt ask me anything, just left a letter on the organ. In the letter, the mother texted that she was always behind her. Home is a place for children to return to, so that they can find peace, trust and share, I believe they will overcome.
Suddenly reading that letter, I felt very moved, I thought too much about myself, wanted to prove too much, wanted to achieve too much, and thought less about the people who loved and cared for me, behind me, that was me, he emotionally recalled.
Sharing about the inspiration for the composition, musician Nguyen Van Chung said that music came to him completely randomly, without going through a formal school. I write with real emotions. When in love, I write about love. When I grew up, I realized that family was the most important thing, and when I had children, I wrote to the children. Now, I start writing more about my hometown and country, he confided.
For him, the biggest expectation when composing is to satisfy himself: I want to write a song that I feel I have, feel like. If you don't like it yet, don't hope the audience likes it."
In response to comments from the online community about his real age such as "I thought this musician must be 70 - 80 years old!"., he confided: "I am happy that people are starting to care about the person behind those familiar songs".
