I heard this song when I was young, and at that time, my impression was that it was quite beautiful despite being a bit difficult to digest. It might have been a device issue, but thinking about it, I might have heard it in the streets and alleys as well.
Yesterday, I listened to it over and over again, no less than ten times, using the built-in speakers of my AOC monitor. My eyes were moist, and I also watched some videos of foreign music teachers or enthusiasts who shared the same feelings.
I even wanted to imitate that singing style, but as someone with a naturally raspy voice, I simply couldn't reach it and could only hum along. I also wanted to see if anyone had covered it, but I found very few. Perhaps the keywords were wrong, and I couldn't find them.
Vitas has a vocal range that spans five octaves, but it seems not very related to this. Among the singers in this, very few exceed two octaves. That's still quite impressive. Which singer in "Singer 2024" has the widest vocal range? How many have a three-octave range? - 360 Entertainment, as long as you're happy
Tengger is like a strongman in voice control, and he also has some agility and, most importantly, emotion, which fills the voice with feeling—not just an auditory experience but also a spiritual one. Listening to Vitas's dolphin sound and that song from "The Fifth Element," I might not have felt much emotion; it felt more like a display of technique, though perhaps there was emotion that I didn't perceive.
Many people feel sadness in "Heaven," which could be a tragic love story, but more likely, it’s about the fact that one can never return to the paradise of the grasslands, or even if one does, the feelings from before are no longer there. What cannot be returned to is the hometown paradise; what cannot be returned to is the past.
Moreover, there may not exist a way to exceed the speed of light to return to the past. When you see the spiral motion of the solar system or larger galaxies continuously moving in a certain direction, the position is always changing. To return to the past, you need to adjust not just the nonexistent time (which is more like describing the timing of a celestial body's orbital cycle), but you need to adjust the entire trajectory of the galaxy's movement. Of course, this does not deny the existence of a vast and advanced civilization that could adjust the entire galaxy like adjusting the gears of a clock. Then, could you return to the past? But is that really the past? Is your body and memory also within the range of adjustment?
