Beauty Song (Jia Ren Qu) 佳人曲 with Original Words - Frank Song Jr OPB 李延年

This is a song about empowering Asian people and their beauty. I grew up in America, constantly being signaled and told that Asian people were ugly and non-desirable, or to another extreme: a fetish. Even still today in 2022, I get these behaviors and treatment from society and communities that claim themselves to be “inclusive” (*cough* lgbtq+ *cough*) CHECK YA DAMN SELVES, B/c I’m tired of doing it. Side note:Ever been on Grindr, and seen profile after profile sayING, “no blacks no Asians”?????….I sure haven’t 🙄🙄 The Chinese words are by a well known court songwriter Li Yan Nian (李延年), written sometime between 6-189 CE. It was written about a beautiful Asian woman! THATS RIGHT, here’s some old ass dynastic music celebrating Asian beauty. We are beautiful, we are powerful, we are so enriched with culture, and we are so blessed. NEVER FORGET THAT! And I’m juxtaposing the Chinese with some hard truths I learned growing up in America coming from an Asian immigrant background. The English spoken word is by me. Give it a listen, you might learn something :)  佳人曲 　　　　 李延年 　　　　北方有佳人， 　　　　绝世而独立。 　　　　一顾倾人城， 　　　　再顾倾人国。 　　　　宁不知倾城与倾国， 　　　　佳人难再得。 I look into the mirror and I’m unsure of what I see For What I see behind are people who don’t look like me Oh these eyes on pictures screens, oh how their voices are very mean They are telling me that, “your race?….will remain unseen.” So how come after all of this education, dedication to art and culture do we still remain so broken? Or was it always broken? Duct tape covered cars? Plastic surgery scars? I wish for you to cut my eyes. Please cut my eyes. So that YOU, May see ME, as one of you.
