过气???? No Way... from my 12 nephew to my 70's Mom... mandarin, Cantonese, hockian, Malaya, English speaking friends and relatives are still hot in to to Beyond songs, the only Band songs that everyone remember the lyrics. I still hears the song played in an unexpected country .... We sang when we are sad, happy, celebrates, walk down memory lane... and for encouragement to face a better tomorrow.....
one or more songs could be top hot hit of the 70 80 90 2000 etc and then be "过气", but there is a deeper level of ideology behind Beyond's composition that will not be outdated, as long as human still value social justice, honesty and the belief that we can achieve success without selling out to those in collusion and power brokers who want to control everybody's lives. Let the free market, free expression of what is good and sincere respect for life and mutual respect for other human beings thrive over the dark force of the world. The ideology behind Beyond's work would not be "过气"
