Lately, Beyond's music seems to be experiencing a resurgence, with their classic tracks becoming a popular choice for live bands at weddings, banquets, cocktail parties, and other events in Hong Kong. So, why are Beyond's songs still so popular? And why are people of all generations so captivated by their music?
The lyrics are powerful, and the emotions are heart-wrenching.
Beyond's songs are classics because their lyrics are full of power and depth. From "Glory Days" to "Boundless Oceans and Skies", each song tells a different story. These songs are not simple love stories, but profound expressions of life, dreams, freedom and faith.
For example, "Glory Days" is a tribute to Mandela, the anti-apartheid hero of South Africa. The lyrics are affectionate and powerful, which makes people excited. "Boundless Oceans and Skies" is a story about sticking to ideals and bravely pursuing dreams. Every time I hear the sentence "Forgive me for my uninhibited and free love in this life", it always touches the hearts of countless people.
The emotions and meaning of these songs make them popular choices for live performances. Whether expressing hope for the future at a wedding or celebrating friendships at a banquet, Beyond's lyrics resonate with everyone.
Classic melodies, never tire of listening
Beyond's melodies are equally enduring, instantly captivating any song. Their music blends the passion of rock, the tenderness of lyricism, and elements of Eastern and Western music, creating a diverse yet cohesive sound.
Songs like "Really Love You," with their simple yet powerful melody, have become a favorite for countless people expressing maternal love and family affection. The gentle yet slightly sad melody of "Lover" is a timeless song for weddings and other romantic occasions. Even decades later, these melodies remain as moving as ever, standing the test of time.
Perfect Tracks for Live Bands
Beyond's songs are incredibly popular for another reason—they're perfect for live bands!
At weddings, "I Like You" is a favorite song among couples. The line, "I like you, your eyes are captivating, your laugh is even more charming," is a perfect expression of love. Songs like "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" often play at the end of weddings, encouraging couples to bravely pursue their dreams and move forward together in their future lives.
At banquets and cocktail receptions, a live band playing Beyond songs can instantly elevate the atmosphere. A classic rendition of "Glory Days" or "Gone Days" always fills the room with nostalgia and emotion, especially when guests become familiar with the melodies, often leading to a sing-along, bringing the atmosphere to a climax!
Many Beyond songs are full of positive energy, such as "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies," perfect for inspiring corporate openings or annual events. A live band's rock-inspired rendition of the song can instantly electrify and inspire.
Shared Memories Across Generations

For those born in the 1960s and 1970s, Beyond represents their youth. Those classic albums accompanied them through countless uncertain and passionate days. For those born in the 1980s, 1990s, and even the 2000s, Beyond's music represents a kind of "classic heritage." Even young people who never experienced that era can fall in love with their songs through recommendations from their parents or through covers on social media.
Because of this, Beyond's music, when performed live, resonates with people of all ages. Young and old alike can find personal stories in these songs.
